EduLink One 4+

Honestly, I thought this app was way better when I first installed but after using it for a bit I realized how bad it really is. Firstly, whenever i try to check my achievement/behaviour points, they do show but it never displays the total, so I have to manually count each and every one, and obviously this gets irritating, tiring after a while. Secondly, I swear the layout of the app changes every few weeks which gets annoying and hard to manage. Thirdly, when I try to login, it says my ‘ password or login is incorrect ‘ and I have to go to safari and log in all over again ( my password/login isn’t actually ever wrong, it just doesn’t work on the app for whatever reason?? ) and even when I click ‘ save login details ‘ I have to go to safari and repeat the process every time I go on the app. This app seems to be getting worse the more I use it. In conclusion, although it’s not the worst, I wish my school picked a different app for us to use.

I have had this app for not even a day and I’m already fed up with it. Firstly, when ever I try to go back onto the app I have to log back in even though I pressed the button saying stay logged in. Also when I try and put in my password it says it’s incorrect to I have to login on safari to log in every time. Secondly, I cannot mark my work as handed in as there is not even a button for it. To hand it in I have to go onto teams and then go back, and it is still marked as not handed in on EduLink. Thirdly the overall appearance of the app is disappointing and awful. Buttons overlap each other and to see my lessons and homework it is extremely distracting as there is loads of pointless information everywhere. If I could rate it lower I would. Do not get.

I don’t understand why schools don’t do some research, or get together to establish some ‘best practice’ before selecting an ‘App’ to inflict on all their students and their parents. All of the the ‘Edu. . ‘ apps on the App Store have ratings of barely more than one star (and one is the minimum you can’t select zero). Doesn’t this tell you anything ? Who selects them? Are they cheap/free? Proper, professional applications from big companies like Microsoft or Google adopt common standards do that users can operate them intuitively . This app, like many others, makes up its standards and mechanisms as it goes along . A complete guessing game as to what a ‘button’ or a ‘link’ looks like and no intelligent guidance. Must try harder!
