My Take
This app is simply a communication tool to use with parents. It works fine for sending relatively short messages with attached pictures. I find myself constantly rewording my messages to fit within the 320 character limit. I have come a cross several problems using the app and I haven't found that their service team was able to solve the problem appropriately. For example, if a parent deletes the app, there is no way for the Talking Points team nor the teacher to change their message delivery to SMS. I will not be using this app again next year.
