It worked great until a recent update. They completely ruined the message center. It is genuinely UNUSABLE. It locks everything in its own tab, and I have to dig and dig and dig. Every damn time, I get a notification. also, half my chats are just missing and can no longer DM, anyone. Good luck getting rid of the notification dot on the app because that's permanent now. Used to just all be in one big list, I didnt have to do 8 extra things just to read a message. wish I could give lower than 1.

Notification alerts are malfunctioning. I searched the settings and disabled the alerts. I went back into settings and put alerts back on. I even uninstalled and reinstalled the app but the alert notifications don't work properly. This error didn't happen until recently when there was an update 😕 I accepted the update otherwise I couldn't use the app anymore. I contacted the supervisor in charge of the app group and was unable to help. I can't receive upcoming schedules and messages.

This app is supposed to have a feature where it would sync to our Google Calendar however often you scheduled it to. Mine was for 24 hours. This feature didn't always work, I usually had to open the app to make it do so manually, but it was a feature I relied on. This issue only got worse, not better, and now it doesn't sync to calendar at all. If I try to disable it and enable, I now cannot even select a Google Calendar for it to sync to.
