schools dont use it so it's worthless
I think I just hate school but IF I CAMT HAVE MY PHONE IN SCHOOL SCHOOL SHOULDNT BE AN APP
I don't know what's going on, I'm trying to log into my account but I have to complete a verification code. And every time I try to send a code to my email, for some reason, it doesn't work I checked everywhere in my emails and the code doesn't appear at all. This is clearly a bug in the app and it's being soo annoying. Please fix this.
I don't want the app
I hate school twin
Difficult to retrieve messages
the app limits all images downloaded to a max of 600x600. iPhone users apparently have much higher res files. how do I get around this problem?
This App Doesn't Want To Work Properly And Having Trouble With The Notifications I Have To Start All Over Again
cant get it to work
confusing
Remind user agreement collects privacy data. No transparency on privacy. Breach of privacy. Remind got bought out by Parent Square which I have not used. confusion on top of confusion. Remind policy links are no longer valid. No proof of conversations so its risky communication.
msg conveying very less character. a proper msg convey in multiple go. that's annoying.
this app is frustrating in that i cannot see what im typing, and have to go back and forth between looking at what ive typed and then typing which covers the whole typing area!!! difficult to edit errors and makes sending messages take too long!
limited functionality. I mostly dislike that I am unable to archive/hide old conversations. its annoying to have to see old conversations from the past.
won't let me sign up
it has all teachers from every year and I can't delete the ones I don't need it's dum
This app was great until it kept logging me out, and it lost my old account. I tried to retrieve the old account back but it keeps giving me errors. This app has become a frustration I don't want to deal with, yet I obligated to tolerate because the school uses this app.
keeps giving me an error when trying to join my child's class
doesn't work
fix the warning. I get it they can't message with me. don't make the warning take up half my screen. give them the warning that they're missing out on messages. I can't do anything about them not having the app installed
Good but as a student I could not type making it so that I can not ask my question . Along with that all you can add is a thumbs up emoji adding on to the frustration of having a question because all that does is say you understand the topic. Over all not my fancy and would not really recommend.
trying to get the app to accept permission for my child to get remind is ridiculous! it doesn't work! please do better if this is what our kids need to get info from their teachers.
I don't know why I can't connect to the app. it always says "oops we hit a snag". it doesn't let me see anything, or let me see or speak to the teachers.
apps like this should not exist. i wonder how much the bot army cost to get this to 4 stars
keeps saying password is wrong
app is garbage, I very often don't get my notifications. I've checked the settings and it's on, I only know there's a msg if I go into the app
impossible to find my son's class in this app.
needs lots of uodate
it completely sucks. doesn't work at all on phone. I have a Google pixel 9a this phone is trash as well.
doesn't work for my devices/browsers. the app wont allow me to access the class that i was invited to. continuously opens app store, instead of the invite link.
it takes forever to load and I cant look back at conversations because of it
doesn't want to connect me or allow me to login.
no idea how touse this ap???
age limit
App doesn't work. I get a system pop-up that I then cannot access within the application for details. (Guess I didn't sign up for the group it gave me a notification for? Make that make sense would you?)
the app is not working it keeps closing out and I unstalled it and reinstalled it I restarted my phone to still not working
I created my account and now it doesn't let me log back in. I even uninstalled and installed again but it's still not working. UPDATE: it's now working but it's been around four hours before it could work
hard to work with
Will not let me log into my account at all, please fix this, I have deleted it and downloaded it but it still hasn't worked at all, and I need it for my classes, please.
This app never seems to work right. Most people can't get it to work, and it still doesn't work for those who can. Joining always has bugs. Notifications come late and garbled. When it works, it's passable, but that is a scarce occurrence.
educator/parent here: when it works it's great especially when you have students and they need help outside of work. But forbid you have a phone issue or you are logged out. I experienced both and I'm attempting to log in via the app on my new phone and the email code will not send to my inbox. yes I've checked all the folders and reached out to help that took 5 days to respond, and to no one's surprised I still can't get in the app. why isn't text an alternative security option??
Its frustrating. It says I have messages, then I go into them and they aren't there. it also says the teacher ( who is my child's teacher) that sent me the messages isn't on the app. its very time consuming and frustrating!!
It doesnt really work that well.
unable to remove or archive old messages...
I just wanna know up dates
I cant get messages to load from my child's teacher. Using Galaxy S24 with most recent updates.
please allow option to download high resolution pictures, photos, images on Android. iOS version shows photos in high res but on Android, it's very very blurry.
it was fine for the first few weeks, but now it won't let me even open it. it still sends me emails, but whenever I click the app, it forces me out. I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling it and it still won't work. So now I can't reply to anything, I can just see it. Please fix this.
This app has potential. But just has so many features that they are missing or are just poorly designed. I have been using this for 5 years now. It should be easier to start group messages with another teacher & parents, there is no option to schedule send when using the app only on the desktop version, parents should be easier to find in a list. Overall it really isn't as user friendly as it could be.
