Studybugs

Just not well thought out. Simple things like when viewing a document you can’t exit it. Basic usability. Very poor. Only use it because the school demands it.

The app is designed for facebook users and asking fb login. Some one with out an FB , what they do?

The theory of this app is great. It’s so simple to communicate with the school on the topic of absence / illness, or any other topic. It’s just a shame that you can’t filter / search or delete *anything*. When you have kids at different schools both using this system, it’s impossible to find anything again because you have to sift through loads of messages.. This feedback had been provided repeatedly by both schools to the Studybugs team, but nothing is addressed. What should be a great tool between school and parent is actually quite irritating.

Very basic and inflexible app which drives me (as parent) crazy to be honest. There is no possibility to sort all the school communication in any logical way or highlight things etc. Old emails (older than two months I believe) are disappearing so if you want to know any details of something sent before - tough. The only good thing about it is possibility to report child missing the school day.

Unable to use. Keeps crashing when trying to add a pupil.

This is a useful way to receive email messages from school / report absence. But stopped working 6 months ago and in that time it won’t load ANY new messages, despite reinstalling. Developers - any support please? Thx

To the developers: Small light grey type on a pointless pale blue background will make messages hard to read for people with visual impairments. Make the text bigger, darker and on a white background or provide customisation options.

The app does the basics well but could provide more functionality in the inbox on the app (deleting messages, marking as read or unread, the ability to copy/paste from message text for example) also to make the inbox available on the browser version.

Collapses when I try to add a Child, so not working for me at all.

Used this app to report my daughter being ill and unable to attend to school. The school know when they checked first thing in the morning! Very good app
