User Reviews

The app is praised for straightforward school communication and private messaging, but users frequently encounter instability, notification failures, and onboarding issues. Read receipts annoy some teachers, and a few devices face crashes or rotation quirks. Overall, it serves well for basic contact with teachers, but reliability and notification delivery need improvement.

Pros

Easy to communicate with teachers and the school.
Simple, private 1:1 messaging plus school-wide posts.
No clutter or unnecessary features; straightforward to use.
Good alternative for staying in touch with teachers after ClassDojo shutdown.
Keeps you updated on your child's classroom.

Cons

Notifications are not delivered reliably; important messages often miss when the app isn't open.
App crashes or won't load on some devices (e.g., Google Pixel 5a) requiring reinstall.
Onboarding/verification SMS code sometimes not sent or the SMS gateway is broken.
Read receipts for family messages are disliked and can cause teachers to stop using the app.
UX quirks like the app overriding the phone's auto-rotate settings.

Recent reviews

basic functionality is ok, but there's no way to sort, search, or mark messages as important. The filters don't do anything. my kid's school sends me 6-12 messages a day and finding important information from more than a day or two prior is a complete hassle.

Hey y'all, on Android, let's put the content of the teachers message in the notification. The generic message is not helpful at all. I know that the teacher sent an announcement, it would be nice if parents could get a preview without needing to jump into the app and wait for it to load. A digest of notifications would be nice as well.
