## Description

My BackPack Mobile lets parents, students, and faculty access school-related data on the go. Similar to the desktop version, user access is based on communities, and data security is controlled through the school’s Ascendance applications. Log in with your existing My BackPack credentials.

Students and parents can search the directory, review grades and comments, check assignments, view schedules, and attendance, and (parents only) check balances. Teachers and staff can search the directory, view grades and schedule, and enter daily or class attendance.

For All Users:
•Search the Student/Parent Directory by student or by parent (note that the information displayed may be limited based on individual publishing preferences).
•View contact information for the school.
•Change password for Advantage Mobile/My BackPack (non-LDAP users only).

For Parents:
•View Child Summary information, including a photo if available.
•Review your child’s marking period grades and comments.
•See your child’s schedule.
•Review attendance data for your child.
•Check your child’s homework assignments and daily assignment grades, where available.
•Check your account balances.

For Students:
•Review your marking period grades and comments.
•See your schedule.
•Review your attendance records.
•Check your homework assignments and daily assignment grades, where available.

For Faculty/Staff:

## Review summary

Most reviews describe My BackPack Mobile as unreliable and outdated. Common issues include crashes, login/server connection failures, and a lack of updates or maintenance. Users also note the app sometimes shows non-current data and misleads about information like grades and directories. Device compatibility concerns are mentioned as well. Overall sentiment is negative due to stability, data accuracy, and maintenance problems.

### Cons

- Frequent crashes and overall instability when opening or using the app
- Login and server connection problems (cannot log in / cannot connect to server)
- App appears outdated or poorly maintained (long gap since updates) and has a clunky interface
- Grades data not current and can be misleading (shows older data; directory appears teacher-focused)
