## Reviews

### "Ridiculous fees" — 2.0/5

> **Angela** | *20 February 2025* | Education Management | Recommendation rating: 1.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: The user interface is ok. We only really use it for tuckshop ordering, though.
> 
> **Cons**: The fees are ridiculous. Recently, they updated the app so that you could place multiple orders together (e.g. multiple lunchbreaks, for multiple children). I thought "yay, only one transaction fee\!". But NO\! There's still a transaction fee (29c) per child\! Plus, when you top up the "wallet", there's also a transaction fee (about 17c each time).
> 
> Makes me angry having to deal with them. Wish the school would choose a better alternative that doesn't try to squeeze parents for fees at every step.

### "User friendly except for ordering" — 3.0/5

> **Verified Reviewer** | *10 January 2019* | E-Learning | Recommendation rating: 7.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: I like that most of the school to parent communication is via one website/app. I find the system is user friendly and intuitive and alerts me when a new message has been posted, so I always have the most current information.
I particularly like the ability to make online payments for everything from lunches to uniforms.
> 
> **Cons**: I don’t like that fees are charged at all for ordering canteen lunches, but especially that they are charged per order (i.e. per child) and need to be done individually, which is time consuming and removes some of the benefit of online ordering. Also, during ordering there’s no option to go back to the previous page – if I try I lose the order and have to start again.

### "Fees, fees and more fees" — 2.0/5

> **Verified Reviewer** | *09 May 2019* | Chemicals | Recommendation rating: 1.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: It makes ordering of tuckshop a bit easier and allows for more visibility of current pricing. Not requiring cash is a plus as I generally don't carry any these days.
> 
> **Cons**: There's a fee to deposit money (unless you want to wait 5 days), there's a fee to place an order. What's that, you want first and second break? That's 2 orders and 2 fees.  Got more than 1 kid? Multiply those fees. You are already holding my money in balance, the fees to put money in and take it out is a bit rude.
The 2 order thing is time consuming as well, plus a whole lot less than intuitive. 
The UI could do with a big update, it's clunky and does not flow.
> 
> The ONLY reason I use this app is because I have to if I want my kid to have tuckshop on occasion. It's a horrible user experience, appalling fee schedule and the only thing it offers over the 'put money in a paper bag' approach is that it doesn't require cash, which is not a new concept in 2019. Nearly every other place I go use PayPal or a CC to pay doesn't charge me fees, unless they're an airline or a taxi.
