The recent update makes choosing the start and end time for an absence far more complicated and time-consuming. Users need to click on a round “clock”, try to click on the hour nearest to the time, then edit the minutes. Please go back to the old, easier way of simply selecting the hour and minutes from a drop down menu.

It’s an awful app. The app loads but the messages nor the inbox load.

It’s a shame that the Ed Tech bar is so low that companies like this can survive. In multiple tries to register my account connected to my kids’ school, I never receive the confirmation email, and the app won’t let you in at all until you complete the confirmation loop. Password reset also doesn’t deliver anything. Obviously some people are able to “use” this thing, but I have checked every folder and spam and everywhere else — they’re just broken.
