Ratings and Reviews
Difficult to read
This app is good for receiving communication from my child's school. However this app would be so much better for me if it were able to configure the text to my iPhone screen as this is where I am most likely to pick up and read the messages from the school. I find myself not reading through the school newsletters properly as time is too short to punch and enlarge the text and then have to scroll side to side. In my opinion if the developer were able to configure this to the iPhone and I can enlarge the text I would be able to read to everything perfectly and my experience would be greatly improved.
NB it is the attachments that are hard to read. With similar apps I am able to rotate the screen to landscape and be able to read everything much better. Have I missed something in my settings? I will amend my review if this is the case.
Frustrating
This app is really frustrating. It currently won’t let me log in, just says “ensure you have internet connection” and won’t log me in. I have internet connection fine. I’ve deleted and reinstalled the app, and school have updated all my login details but nothing helps. Really annoying as I’m now without communication from school.
Also if you happen to be in ping when you get another message, it does annoying things to notifications and won’t forget the notification it’s sent you even though you’ve already read the message. Takes some messing about to get the notifications dropped.

Doesn’t rotate
Don’t know if this is the same with most phones, but this is a basic issue. 100% of my use of schoolping is on my phone. Never on a tablet. Most school letters are written on A4 size paper. The writing is far too small to read on a phone screen. I turn my phone on its side. With just about every other app on the planet, the screen would rotate and the newsletters could be comfortably read. But not schoolping. Instead you have to zoom in then keep moving the text left and right so read a whole line. I really hoping I’m missing something in this app, but surely this should be automatic.
