Broward County Public Schools Hack 5.6.20002 + Redeem Codes

The app seems to provide a lot of information for parents, but it’s hard to navigate and understand. Some places the app says to use Pinnacle you need to go through a website but the website says you can use it through the app. There are multiple logins and even the supposed single logon is hard to find and use. It is not intuitive and seems designed just to get the job done instead of to have it run easily and smoothly.

Over a year and this app still very clunky and makes it very difficult to navigate thru for parents... I find myself using specific websites that should be integrated but are not... seriously could use some testers to point out the flaws and a team to address and correct them.

Ok as a technical end user professional that has been involved with numerous AGILE development process for work with a primary goal of functional and easier user experiences. It does not appear that during development that parents were involved to provide user stories.

I find this nothing more than an app with links to other websites. These websites need to be logged into all separately. Once your log into this app all other sub apps or links to other websites should already sign you in as a single sign on! When viewing something like the gradebook then we should be able to select the student we wish to view. (Assuming we have more than one student)!

I really don't see the value to the user if they have a site in there favorites... I am disappointed in the app and can only hope that it didn't cost the tax payers much. It is in serious need for improvements and upgrades.

Any app that cannot retain user id’s or passwords is useless. It signs me out and won’t let me sign back in. I’ve had to reset it several times by calling the school. I needed to go in and check something now but unfortunately we’re in the summertime and I can do nothing. So the most I will give it is one star. Hopefully they’ll hire some new IT people and get this working properly.

Addendum: you would think that after all these years they would’ve fixed this app. No. It’s just as worthless as ever. It never recognizes the password if it’s signed you out. Then when you try to reset a password it doesn’t let you. This is so typical of government apps and anything done by the government. They hire the cheapest IT people who turn out to be morons.

This app is completely inefficient to parents who want to review their child’s academic & cafeteria information. On the Broward County Public School website it encourages parents to download and use the app promising the ability to access student academic and cafeteria information, but that is not the case. Even after weeks of several emails to and from Broward County Public Schools IT department I am still unable to see any academic and correct cafeteria information for my children. If you want to receive a lot of messages about what the county is doing, then it’s the best app for you. However, if you want to use this app as a parent to monitor your children’s academics and balances then this is app is completely ineffective and will not meet your needs.

COMPLETELY USELESS! The fact that this is a representation of our school board, and the individuals who are responsible for our children’s education is extremely disturbing. With all of the technical advances today, there is absolutely no excuse for the joke that this is. I have even compared this to other school board applications; such as Palm Beach County. If PBC has the capability of obtaining a “FUNCTIONING” tool, that is ALSO user friendly for their families why does it seem to be so out of reach for BCPS??? Yes, this is only a phone application. However, I feel that the problem lies much deeper. The lack of capacity to provide a basic phone app for parents, while also boasting how “WONDERFUL” it is, speaks volumes with respect to our school board and the Broward School administration as a unit.

I had to contact my son’s teacher because it’s the end of the quarter and it shows he has a C. She showed me her grade book and he has an A. It has been a week since that exchange and the app still hasn’t updated his grade. I hate to bother teachers when there really isn’t a problem, just this ridiculous inefficient app is the problem. And what if there really was a problem and I didn’t know because the app showed me he had an A but really his grade really dropped to a C. How can parents stay properly informed if the district continues to put out false information and then they pat themselves on their backs. Way to go BCPS!

Not the most user friendly and not the most up to date on summer school calendar days. Thought there was school one Friday come to find out nobody is at the school, very embarrassing and unfortunate but technology isn’t perfect of course. It would help to make it more user friendly because even in my 20’s and tech savvy but this app needs some tweaking.

Last school year, the app was working great. However, this year it keeps logging me out. When I go to log back in, it tells me my password is incorrect or invalid. So then I request a new password and I get an email with a 5 digit temp password. I log in using temp password and I’m logged in again for a few days then it logs me out again. Then I repeat the whole cycle over again. This is ridiculous. Please fix ASAP.

It’s a amazing app to get and informs you the information on time I’m really happy I downloaded this app, if I didn’t download this, I probably wouldn’t know if there’s school the next day if a hurricane is coming. But a 4 star because it logs my out every month or every 2 weeks i don’t know why but over all it’s an amazing app 10/10 recommended❤️👍

The information displayed is inaccurate. My son’s lunch balance appears to be $8. However it is actual $1. Not a simple rounding error, but wrong.
Grades are not up to date. Some info is provided for one son and then not for the other, in a different school
I don’t know what info is available and accurate. I can’t dependent on it.
