It makes it simple and easy to keep track of our kid's assignments and grades.

App is essential for school however I'm giving 4 stars because the calendar doesn't always load which forces you to then find another device to sign in on to check courses.

Update: The calendar finally started working but stopped again. I haven't been able to use it since January. It says, "There was an error loading your calendar." Once again, I have signed out and back in. Then, I uninstalled and reinstalled the app. I gave it 2 stars because the calendar does not work. It just keeps telling me there was an error in loading my students calendar. I have refreshed it, Uninstalled the app and reinstalled it. I still cannot get the calendar to work.

I didn't think the app could get any worse.....but it did! There is no grouping for summative vs. formative assignments, nothing is organized chronology. It is truly confusing to understand what is driving the latest change to the grade.

Alerts don't work. Says error. You need to manually check every class/assignment to see if they have a new one, have been submitted, and grade received. Last semester 100+ alerts came through last week of school at same time. One student alerts work and not calendar, other students' calendar works but not alerts. 🤯 Hopefully problem gets fixed. Have submitted multiple requests.
