Arlington Public Schools

It's an app for a system our schools already pay a bunch of money for. And then the app wants access to my contacts, complete network access (not needed just to access information from a web site) and a bunch of other permissions that seem excessive. So the app can collect information about me. I'll update the app after I've used it a bit.

Worth it

I love it when they allert that there's no school or 2 hour delay.

Worth it

Hopefully APS didn't pay much for this app. It is basically an embedded browser with customized links to parts of the APS website. Unfortunately the browser is pretty limited so it is often tough to read the text when you get to the page.

Good!!!

Very helpful

A phone app that just shows the full-sized web page is only minimally useful. Also, requiring a separate password entry for embedded features like MySchoolBucks defeats the purpose of using an app.

Doesn't give any more access than what is already available on the web. Unnecessarily needs access to my private contacts.

Didn't see the contacts permission others mentioned but it does have account access and wakelock permissions which seems unnecessary. Even without those it's useless. All it seems to do is pull in Web pages and slap its header on them. I can do that without another questionable app on my phone.
