Katy ISD 4+

Pros:

-shows grades
-shows lunch menu
- shows which bus I ride. Etc
- can log into any account
-can change profile picture.
-shows katyisd news.
- if u have allergies it still shows u what type of food for lunch you can still eat.
- shows which subject is which teacher.

Cons:

- once you go into the app, it brings u back to the home page. You have to do it twice to get in the app.
- grades load so slow. If u had a test, it would take 2-3 days to load!
- when grades are actually loaded, sometimes the average score doesn’t change!
- doesn’t show if the grade is major, minor, or other.

Thanks for reading this long review!

There is zero support for issues within this app...just click on help (when you're ALREADY inside and using app, and you'll find a video on how to DOWNLOAD the app).
This is a perfect metaphor for the entire situation. I'm USING THE APP, so I probably already know how to download said app....PERHAPS, I need another form of assistance, ya? KISD has my husband's contact info listed under my name and evidently there is no way in the universe to fix their mistake.
Ugh.
Not to mention, no longer receiving the alerts I set up years ago, and have since double-checked are still set to alert me about low grades (to no avail).
The app DID just add new ways to pay for school lunches and sports fees- YAY! Unsurprisingly, accepting money via 'mypaymentsplus', on this app, seems to work flawlessly. Heaven forbid they ever Double charge you and end up owing you $60...because you'll never see that again, despite calling & emailing the school and the software company a dozen times.

So, to sum up-
If you're looking for a directory of staff emails, this app is for you.
However, if you'd like to utilize all of the seemingly integrated programs within the HAC, or EVER needing customer support, this is not the app for you.

The grades don't update as quickly as home access center updates the grades.
It always lags behind and I realize that it's pretty much pointless to have the app and that I should just check my grades via browser anyways.
I wish you'd get notified the instant you get a grade put in.
I don't use the app for much else.
