## Description

This app allows guides to: take and upload photos from their device to Transparent Classroom, view activity in the classroom, and record concentration/work curve data.

Parents in Transparent Classroom can use the app to view notes and photos of their child(ren), receive notifications when more are published, and take photos of their children to send to their teachers.

## Review summary

Reviewers repeatedly call the app limited and unreliable. Major pain points include missing core features (progress, planning, daily tracking, attendance, notifications), wrapper-like mobile rendering with poor navigation, photo upload/download issues, privacy data exposure, and slow/limited updates. Many users say the mobile site is preferable, and that the app is largely unusable compared to the web version.

### Cons

- App is severely limited in functionality, missing core features such as progress, planning, daily tracking, attendance, and notifications.
- The app largely functions as a web wrapper and renders poorly; navigation often hides menus or only exposes top sections, making features hard to access.
- Photo upload/download features are inconsistent or clunky across updates, with reports of uploading being difficult or unsupported in newer versions.
- Privacy controls to hide personal data (phone number, address) frequently fail, exposing information in the Parents tab.
- Overall stability and feature updates are slow or ineffective, including blank screens or long waits for requested features.
