My School Menus

Can we just have an old fashioned calendar view PLEASE?! I miss the simplicity of being able to easily see the whole month’s menu all at once when we had it on paper. The nutritional details are nice, but why can’t we just click on an item or day to see more detail on it? And after the first week of the month, it sometimes remembers what week it is and sometimes doesn’t. So you have to flip through to get to the correct week. This is not quick and simple enough. Especially for those who have kids at different schools and/or schools that also serve breakfast.

I LOVE the idea of this app. I can already picture my son and I ordering his lunches and having “carb competitions” and having him track his lunch calories. However, there’s gotta be something buggy with the app when being used on the newest iOS platform, because I can’t create an account or access any of the brilliantly displayed features that obviously had a lot of heart and soul when they developed it. There’s been a few updates to the iOS platform, so that might explain things like not being able to create accounts or logins. However, I want to thank their customer service so much, because it was almost immediately after contacting the help portion of the app that I got an email from a very nice woman who as able to raise some possible solutions and promised she’d also contact my son’s school lunch provider directly to see what could be done to create an account successfully. Great support, and once the links are ironed out, it looks like it’s got the potential to be a fantastic app!

This app is a great way to see what you kids are eating at school. The meals have breakdown that would definitely help a child eat properly if they were facing health issues such as diabetes. My issue is more with a functionality issue that hopefully will be corrected in future versions of the app. I have 3 students in 3 schools so for each child I have to go back and select a different school and menu to review their choices. The app should ultimately save the menus you’d like to come up so that you may easily toggle between them with fluidity. This is a great start but if I am forced to go in and constantly choose different menus then it is just as easy to print and hang the 3 menus up on my fridge and see them all at a quick glance. Please app developers, make this app easier for those of us that have more than one child at more than one school.
