The app hasn't been updated in over two years now, with its last update adding new features, making improvements to the user interface, and bug fixes. The app only has 2.5 out of five stars from users and it's clear it's in need of attention and updates once again. The customer comments are very mixed with some people experiencing issues with its stability and others have no problems at all.

It's important to note that if you want to use the app your school district must support the information system used.
