School Bytes for Parents 4+

The parent portal is so easy to use, all permission notes can be submitted online, keeps record of any payments ever made to the school, easy to select things to pay and quick tap to make adjustment to amount if you need to just pay a deposit. It keeps communication from school organised in one ap. Love it. Would be good to be able to review the original permission note content, I’m sure this development will be in the future as this product just keeps offering practical solutions to families and schools.

Also clearing – pressing the X button on a post should clear the notification – currently bearing a notification items and clearing/deleting a post at two separate things where they should be one.

This requires too much management of notifications by users and it generally confusing.

And as mentioned by other users – tapping a notification – in iOS notification centre – does not open up the specific post.

Also the ordering of the posts seems random – not in chronicle logical order and with limited ability to filter – only text search and not any other metadata including date

Very frustrating. Every time our school posts a new item we get a notification. If we try to open the app to see what has been posted it just stick on spinning wheel, it won’t do anything. The only way we get information is to delete the app and reinstall it. It works once reinstalled until the next time the school adds information. Perhaps this is just an issue for Apple phones but we’ll be lobbying the school to find a more functional software.
