skyward is meant to show you your grades, attendance, portfolio, etc. before, it did just that and wasn’t that bad, even with the occasional lag because every aspect of the app requires internet. now, though, they’ve added an account switcher that you are prompted to choose from when opening the app. this prompt cannot be disabled and is completely useless to anyone who isn’t a parent with multiple kids (multiple accounts). it seems to me that they’re encouraging the sharing of accounts between students, which I am fine with, but it’s not something everyone does. to these people, this feature just wastes valuable time that could be spent loading important information like grades rather than loading multiple accounts. I just want this feature to be able to be disabled

I’ve had this app for a little over a year now and can say that the app itself is just the website pinned to the screen, and not optimized for mobile viewing. Regularly things are cut off by the screen, or unusable, buttons won’t work, and the app itself is difficult to navigate. Above all else, the app will crash on booting, not even fully opening before closing itself down. You’d probably have better luck pinning the website to the home screen of your phone at this point because of the inaccessibility.

I HATE that our school district uses Skyward. The app is AWFUL. I dread going into it daily to check my child’s grades and assignments. 1) it’s glitchy 2) when I select to view the app version, I get a blank white screen. Then, I have to close the app out and re-login to get it to work 3) most times I just use the browser version to avoid #2, but the format is not ideal for a mobile device and fails to adapt to the device used. User interface/experience is bad and whoever is responsible for the user experience should be fired. Is anyone looking at these reviews and making updates?!!!! I hope these schools smarten up and change what they use soon. There has to be a better competitor to Skyward out there that needs to sell their software more aggressively bc this app stinks Clicked on app support and couldn’t even get that to work!!!! For an “oops sorry” message. Is this a joke?!
