This app constantly signs me out. It's annoying to log in so frequently. And then if you need a verification code it takes awhile to get to your email and times out in 30 minutes, so if you get distracted you have to start all over! Overall it used to work better when we used it a couple years ago. Went downhill. Easier to just communicate directly with their teachers. UPDATE: I have unsubscribed from all emails multiple times, I still keep getting junk from them. DON'T TRUST WITH YOUR INFO

It's a fairly simple app to use. No bells and whistles, does what it says. The inability to mark things as read or clear notifications in the app is annoying. The character limit is also a hindrance. Aside from those two things, I like it. Edit: This is great for sending messages but terrible for receiving them. Often I'll get a notification that I have a message but the message will not show up. Even if I go to the message history for that person, nothing new appears.

Update: a year+ later, reducing to two stars. Hard to figure out. Wouldn't give push notifications for ages. Just all around annoying. Only okay. It has some bugs and requires too many taps to get from place to place. I had to sign up/sign in, like, six times, then it stuck me on the "join a class" screen until I joined another class that I didn't need.
