School Rush! for Android
A good start but the app needs lots of work. It takes too long to download the "database" of information. I consistently get "needs wifi to update" warnings, both when I'm on a wifi network (flaw) and when I'm using cell network. I assume wifi is required to minimize network data consumption. Any app that uses that much data and the developer forces you to use wifi to save you, needs work. When I get a push notification (which is good) I go to open the app, it crashes about 50% of the time, but then my
Decent app for what it does but is there a way to leave notifications on but silence the school bell sound? I do not see a settings menu within the app.

When I get a push notification (which is good) I go to open the app, it crashes about 50% of the time, but then my notification goes away so I have to read everything since I don't know who the notification is from and it doesn't reappear. There should be "new item" indicators next to new items until the user clears it. If I were a school administrator I wouldn't rely on this tool, solely, to disseminate critical information. Various other issues: Teachers are requiring students to view the site but there is no web access. Color coding per student would be useful. Calendar events need details beyond date & time.
This app is so useful and much appreciated. I can see the potential for it being very helpful when planning the family's calendar. I hope to soon have the ability to have each child's teacher's specific calendar be on the app calendar as well. A MUST USE APP!!

Logins don't work. As far as I can tell weak cs. Hope they change to something more reliable.
