1. In 15 years of parent-teacher communication, this is the most difficult one I've ever used.Ad heavy, does not run smoothly, redirects you to a unrelated link(Walmart, Brother's Pizza, ect.) when trying to open a .pdf from our teacher every time, and stopped receiving notifications when app was posted to or a direct message sent(app is up to date, so not the problem).
2. It makes it harder to communicate consistently with parents and I was hoping it would alleviate emailing, but I still get the same amount of emails! Hopefully this can be fixed asap .This app is full of features, however it is very difficult to navigate.
3. When using mobile version, which it's intended for, it's extremely slow to open, to submit a message, to retrieve messages, to click through the sections, and you can't erase what you've already seen, I don't want to continue to see who sponsors a class or the app, we should be able to erase what we've already seen in all catergories.
4. Have to use it though, so it would be great if they spent more time on development of the app and not focused on the ads.Overall, I like using classtag to communicate with parents.
5. Haven't had any issues with crashes or other tech issues, and I run an ancient droid device.App is slow to load anything and sometimes doesn't load a page correctly.
6. It's been great communicating with parents and having them sign up for parent conferences.
7. I receive messages from my parents hours after it's been sent.
8. I want to like this app and I could tolerate the ads if the UX was half decent.This app has more ads than teacher announcements and I'm receiving a ton of marketing emails rather than actual notifications.
9. It also has sent out past messages, confusing some of my parents.
10. However, I really disliked all the advertising that was included in everything: the emails sent to parents, the app itself, and emails to me.
11. I appreciate that it keeps the service free but the text for messages is excessively small and the buttons are not suited for a phone screen.
