School Jotter

Very good app, sends you notifications and newsletters from your school. You can also see the school's calendar and sync it with your phone calendar. 4 stars instead of 5 because you can't choose which calendar events to add, and you can't choose the colour. Otherwise, very good app.

Generally this is a good app, but it does have a big problem - it actively prevents my phone entering stamina mode and turning off Internet connections when in standby, so massively affects battery life. I cannot find a way to change that setting. Otherwise, it would get five stars.

Adequate - requires improvement. It's a clunky app with little finesse. Notifications are a little random and the absence of an in-app documents parser for .pdf, .docx, etc. means downloading everything to the phone. The app is quite stable, it's layout is unintuitive and could do with some focus group work to make it marvelous.

Info is as good as the school provides. Has a very irritating 'feature' where the back button won't close the app - need to go to the app switcher to get rid. If you really need to run all the time, use a foreground service like everyone else.

Works fine generally. Information is not always put in the best place, but that's probably down to the school not the app. Switching between schools is a pain if you have kids at different ones, it was better when there were separate apps before they were merged.

Really hood and easy to use. Just a few things didn't work even ehen changed the settings. Despite me setting to get the info from a soecific year group, I still get all the others. Same for copying into my calendar. If that is fixed, it will be a 5*

Updated. Android 9 downloading newsletters now works. Great stuff. Using Samsung Galaxy S9 the calendar doesn't actually sync anything to my google calendar. Also the wife uses this too on her Google Pixel again the calendar doesn't actually sync to our own personal calendars.

The app used to sync with my calendar which was the most useful aspect but now it won't sync. I've tried re installing but nothing. Im deleting the app if this isn't fixed.

Buggy and always crashing. Constantly have to reset data as it keeps stopping working. Wouldn't use it if i didn't have to.

Useful app compared to searching the internet every time you want to find out inset days. Handy for reminding full school events but very generic and quite basic.

It's very useful, essential and working app. I just would like to read the pdfs ( newsletters) without downloading them. Thanks

Not bad. Easy to navigate. Useful calendar synch and reminders as well. Does what is says on the box.

Could do with a more interesting UI but it definitely does what it's supposed to. Good to have real time feedback from school

My local school use this app as and easy way to get bulk info home to parent and to help save on costs of countless mailings which is fine. The downside is the permissions which this app is demanding from its users, parent. BEWARE!!!!

Generally good but not as good since the platform format changed last year - now slower to load so people might be less likely to use it. please fix then I'd give it more stars!

I don't get it. this gives you a way of accessing school documents like pdfs. you can then download them and view them in another pdf viewer? is this the intended purpose or is the school failing to use this to its full potential?

good all round ive just started using this as been told by my daughter's mum. i can see photos of how my little girl is doing and also the school's calender and events. so i dont have to rely on being told i can find out fir my self. this is a good idea and keeps me updated. thank you.

It needs sorting, the newsletters part hasn't updated since 2017 yet it keeps flashing saying there are new newsletters out.... very annoying.

The 2nd October 2018 update now makes this app unable to retrieve data. The message "Sorry, the data could not be downloaded at this time" is displayed.

the App is good but recently every thing that is under letter for parents has gone. The page is blank. I had to go to the website to check them. And there is nowhere to leave the app.

Very useful for school news but a few odd quirks like not closing with the back button and having to scroll through tabs to reach the newsletter download.

love this app, very useful, but I do dislike the fact that it won't come off my screen when exiting. it stays visible until I need to completely close all apps or just press the middle button on my screen

It's very helpful app. But before was messages, now I don't have, only calendar and newsletter. With messages was more better.

Brilliant App. Updates me straight away with school letters and information so I don't need to rely on my children bringing letters home etc. Has improved communication with the school no end. Brilliant app.

Was working fine but now app says it needs to update. No updates available. Have tried uninstalling and reinstalling and turning phone off and on again but not working at all.

Generally great, but sometimes if you haven't been on it for a while, it doesn't send the notifications through for new items.

Has worked brilliantly up to now but won't let me on just keeps saying it needs an update. I've even tried uninstalling and reinstalling but nothing is working!

Great App! My childs school recently got it and it has made life so easy for parents, by all accounts the school are saving money on messaging and printing so happy days!

Not always able to update the app,need to uninstall and reinstall several times to be able to update and have the latest version.

I just love it ! It always pops out messages on time 10/10 , this is something that is recommended to every body who's kids go to school
