## Review summary

Users consistently report major issues with logging into the app despite correct credentials, leading to frustration. The app often lacks proper access to the full parent portal and redirects users to web browsers, undermining its purpose. Crashes and poor user interface further reduce usability. However, when functional, it helps parents stay informed about school matters and submit documents. Notifications for grade postings and smoother login procedures are desired improvements.

### Pros

- The app helps parents stay updated with their kids' school information when it works.
- It successfully facilitates submission of important documents, like vaccination papers, through the portal.
- The design aims to provide quick access to child's assignments and grades via mobile.

### Cons

- Frequent login issues: app often rejects valid credentials or fails to authenticate users.
- Inability to access full portal features within the app; frequently redirects users to a web browser.
- Poor user interface and lack of user-friendly features such as password reset.
- App crashes, freezing, or failing to open properly on multiple devices.
- No notifications provided when teachers post grades or updates, limiting user awareness.
