I think some stuff was updated on the app. i used to be able to see all of my kids assignments on their calendar when i selected their name. Now I can only click a few classes (it says i can only select up to 10 classes between all students and I have 4 kids in middle and high school). I would also like to have an option for push notifications so i know what assignments are due/late/missing. other than that it does work for it's intended purpose when i remember i have it

Seems I've had the opposite problem of most of the reviews here. It kept telling me my code was invalid when trying to sign up on the desktop version of the website, but when using the mobile app, I WAS able to sign up using the same code the website said was invalid! The only issue I encountered was: not to click/tap out of the code field, or switch apps (to see the code in a picture or text, for example) because that makes the code field un-editable.

I get too many notifications, sometimes more than 10 emails in one day, and they take too long to check, so I end up just ignoring and deleting them, which is not helpful or useful in any way, and is a big waste of time. There is no way to limit notifications without shutting them off altogether. It would be much better to be able to set some parameters for notifications, like perhaps, get notified only of missing work or if a grade is below a certain level/percentage.
