User Reviews

User reviews consistently cite severe reliability issues: the app freezes or crashes while scrolling through courses, grades, or assignments, often forcing a restart and preventing full visibility of data. The problem repeats across updates and devices (notably iOS 26 on newer iPhones). A small number of users acknowledge it has potential or is straightforward when working, and that it’s the main way to monitor a child’s grades, but the frequent freezes overshadow any positives.
Pros
  • Has potential to be a useful tool for parents.
  • Pretty straightforward to navigate when it’s working.
  • It’s the primary/sole way to monitor a child’s grades and assignments.
Cons
  • Frequent freezing/crashing when scrolling through grades/assignments.
  • Must force-close/relaunch repeatedly; still freezes in the same spot.
  • Cannot see all assignments/complete grade data due to freezing.
  • Performance issues persist across updates and device/OS versions (e.g., iOS 26).
  • Support can be unresponsive or hard to reach (e.g., 404 in app support).

This app constantly crashes. It freezes when attempting to scroll in a class to check grades/assignments due. It then kicks you out. I have to wait 30 seconds before getting back in to try to look in another class.

Good idea just crashes every time I’m trying to look at my kids assignments. So I’m constantly closing and opening the app to see what they are missing. Notifications would be nice too so I don’t have to go into the app so much.

Awful.
