Ratings and Reviews
Nothing loads
It’s an awful app. The app loads but the messages nor the inbox load.
Developer Response ,
Hello there. Thanks for your feedback. This should not be happening and I wonder if you have tried deleting and reinstalling the application? If not, please attempt that and if the issue still persists, kindly reach out to your school and ask them to open a support ticket with us on your behalf.
Never sends confirmation email
It’s a shame that the Ed Tech bar is so low that companies like this can survive. In multiple tries to register my account connected to my kids’ school, I never receive the confirmation email, and the app won’t let you in at all until you complete the confirmation loop. Password reset also doesn’t deliver anything. Obviously some people are able to “use” this thing, but I have checked every folder and spam and everywhere else — they’re just broken.
Developer Response ,
Hello there. It sounds like your email address is on the unsubscribed list. You will need to contact the school and ask them to check their blocked list so they can remove you. It might also be that the school is not sending your email address to our system so we are unable to send a verification as we don't have an email address to send it to. Sorry for the inconvenience.
App kicks me out if I click any chat messages
When I click chats , and hit a message to read , the whole app kicks me out . I can’t even see what my daughters teacher posted . And this is suppose to be the best way to communicate with the teacher , REMIND was way better ! Idk why they changed it.
