## Sentral for Parents Reviews in Australia

### ***** "Needs improvement"
Trying to download my child’s school reports off sentral  before the end of the year before it gets deleted and I now have the loading circle of doom every time I try to log in.
-- Mathilda🐇, 2024-12-26

### *---- "A masterclass in creating a terrible user experience"
Do you want an app where you spend 90% of the time just authenticating your login? Well this app is for you. Forget about Apple having one of the most secure ecosystems - you’ll have to login separately for each school your children go to. Then the app will forget that authentication, forcing you through the process nearly every single time. There’s a score more problems with this app but the 1-star rating really tells it all.
-- Escariot, 2024-12-13

### *---- "Rubbish app"
The school now requires the use of this app, apparently we will only be able to see school reports through the app! I’m running this on an iPhone 12 and iOS 18.2 and just redownloaded it and it still doesn’t remember the access key? Every time I log in I need to give it the access key, and even when I give it the key I go to settings and manage keys there’s no key there. I can temporarily see my children but the app immediately forgets the key when I close it. The average rating for this app is 2 stars. This app earns 1 star from me because I can see the general notices from the school, so perhaps 20 % functionality earns 1 star out of 5. Join your P&C and forbid your school from using this app.
-- MJHides, 2024-12-12

### *---- "Too long"
It takes ages to login
-- Penrif4peatstars, 2024-11-19

### ***-- "help"
Unable to see my childs behaviour and i’m also not able to contact his teachers. I’ve deleted the app and relogged in but nothing seems to work
-- shaaaahhhhhg, 2024-11-17

### **--- "Not user friendly"
I agree with some of these other low reviews but aside of that… 
SUPER ANNOYING that every time the app needs an update it kicks you out completely and doesn’t even remember your log in details. There is no option to pre fill or remember log in at all. Laboriously typing in email and password which I can’t even remember half the time is just ridiculous in this day and age, especially for something needed so regularly.
-- ellsbells85, 2024-11-07

### **--- "Ages to get in"
Good, but only once you get in. You have to find the school every time then log in every time. If you are a student using this you have to go through to portals through the DOE. It’s so annoying
-- The header merchant, 2024-09-11

### *---- "So long to sign in"
I’m a student and I usually check the app before school and to use it you need to find your school which it won’t remember and sign in 3 times two of which is the same thing name and password two times! It’s so annoying when your in a rush and not to mention when i finally do get in it as a banner at the top which you have to click away which is asking you to download the app even though I have downloaded the app! And you have to click it away because you can’t click on your profile without doing so, it’s a school app not a top secret FBI app I’m no one important so why is there so many login ins?
-- Toasted-villain-, 2024-08-27

### *---- "Frustrating"
Don’t bother, hopeless app!!
-- SuKKMyRocKet83, 2024-08-25

### *---- "Could be good but isn’t"
Constantly getting logged out, for no reason. The payment function works differently every time, hard to get used to as once you get in 2 days in a row…you are definitely getting logged out again. Terrible app!
-- Katie smith-hea, 2024-08-20

### ****- "Please fix this"
Please, if possible have the app always signed in because everytime i open it i always have to sign in
-- ujdjdjjdjfhhfnfnnsnjfmns, 2024-08-20

### ****- "Absence button missing"
Any idea why the absence button no longer appears on the parent sentral?
-- Nocturnal2011, 2024-07-23

### *---- "Most unreliable app I’ve ever used, and it should be set on fire 🔥"
I can’t believe of all the apps out there, the Board of Education has selected this rubbish. 
- app constantly logs out, and you need to re-register just to get in (despite receiving all notifications 🥴)
- school is constantly communicating error’s (today we cannot book for parent teacher interviews!)
- error in the app causing issues with payments and consent forms (needing paper consent form to be completed).
-- Mrs_Coggy, 2024-07-23

### *---- "Useless for me."
This app for some reason is not suitable to be used on an ipad.
-- chsrlie d, 2024-07-08

### *---- "Useless."
That’s how I describe Sentral for parents. A complete and utter waste of my time.
I have read the faqs. They’re obviously just for show.
I don’t know how much has been spent on this but it certainly is NOT worth the $$$.
-- Rubii Redshoes, 2024-07-02

### *---- "Useless"
I’ve got my child set up on the web portal, but the app doesn’t even recognise the school name, so I can’t get past the first screen. Utterly useless.
-- Canberra mum, 2024-06-25

### *---- "The apps require login credentials every time I open it"
There is this annoying issue where the app keeps asking me to renew my login details every time I open it look at a notification.

Is this a know issue ? Is it going to be fixed anytime soon ?

I am using iPhone 13 Pro Max.
-- MMAMohammmed, 2024-06-06

### *---- "FAIL"
New update, log in 3 times because it doesn’t work. Look like a lot of effort for just a spinning wheel of death. 
TEST YOUR DEPLOYMENTS
-- CAD bloke, 2024-05-28

### *---- "Never Opens"
When it use to work it was OK! But now ever since the update the app doesnt even load how do you expect parents to use it!
-- Bella8819, 2024-05-26

### *---- "How is it even possible to make an app so bad"
I’m a student and when I enter, I have to sign in THREE different times. Two times with my SSO and once with my email. There’s a “keep me signed in” button that appears multiple times bet never works. If you exit the app for one second and try to re-enter you have to restart the process again. Also it says for me to get the Sentral app… on the Sentral app. If you press to get the app in the app then I have to sign in a again of course. There’s a “home” button but if I press that the screen will load forever and I have to leave the app and restart the sign in process again. Sometimes when I do everything correctly it just doesn’t sign in. No school should use an app to horrible.
