Update after developer response The response from the developer does not address the issue. The new way may have been designed to make it easier but it makes it harder. There was never an issue when you could select the individual year level blogs. If you wanted to see information related to year 3 you could select the year 3 blog and see all the relevant blogs in one place. If you wanted to see information for prep you could select the prep blog and see all the blogs related to preps. The new blog set up does not give you any way to filter the blogs. All information is dumped together in a central blog, split between 2 tabs. This makes it incredibly difficult to find information related to one child in any given year level because it is now mixed in with every other year level that you have children attending the school. Combining all the blogs together does not make it easier, it makes it harder. Perhaps adding an option to filter the posts would be helpful, although having the individual year level blogs was a significantly better set up. Original review The new blog setup makes it impossible to keep on top of information for multiple children. It was much easier to find information relating to a particular year level when you could choose the blog for that year level. Now you need to search through both the news and blog tabs as some year levels are posting in the the news and some are posting in the blogs tab. If you have multiple children, not only do you need to sort through multiple year levels worth of information, you also have to sort through all the other non year level specific posts that have been made that are all mixed in together.

I regret enrolling my child into catholic education solely due to this app. It’s the single most frustrating app I have ever used. It will randomly logs you out and when you try to log in it will tell you password is incorrect, when you try to set up password it will tell you it’s used already but if you try logging with it will say incorrect. Sometimes you click on parental portal and will ask you to log in again even if you are already logged in app. Ohh and when you do put your credentials in it will just finish in white screen and you have to start again and if you are lucky it will not force you to again change password for no reason. Menus in app are stupid too, trying to book parent teacher meeting it’s in random location under booked…. Why would it be under booked if you have not booked yet. Terrible/horrible app and they refused to fix, think about enrolling your kid elsewhere…

Frustrated by having to login via the catholic education website every time I use the app just because I don’t have finger print/facial id enabled. Calendar no longer opens at “today” but at the 1st of the month…… now need to scroll down to reach current date
