## Review summary

Users appreciate the app for consolidating various school-related functions and its simple interface. However, many face issues like delayed notifications, frequent crashes, slow performance, and unreliable bus tracking. The app requests unclear permissions, lacks proper customer support, and does not support multiple child accounts effectively, leading to frustration. These problems often cause parents to miss important updates or events, highlighting the need for technical improvements and better communication.

### Pros

- Includes multiple features like admission, fees management, GPS tracking, student performance, assessments, etc.
- Acts as a one-stop solution consolidating many school-related functions into a single app.
- Simple and easy-to-use interface suitable for non-tech-savvy parents.
- Useful notifications and alerts regarding school events and activities.

### Cons

- Frequent app crashes and slow performance, especially after UI updates.
- Notifications are often delayed, not appearing timely in notification bars, causing parents to miss important messages.
- Bus tracking feature is unreliable, with delays, lost tracking, and limited multi-child support.
- Unnecessary and intrusive app permissions, such as media and file storage access without clear reasons.
- Poor customer support with unresponsive help and unresolved issues like fee receipt delays and account problems.
