I've had a hard time using the app. When it works it's fine but it will stop working and when you open it, it will white screen with a purple seesaw logo and it never seems to open. I try deleting it and reinstalling it. It will work for a couple of days. I've now done this about 8 times. I have a new top of the line Samsung. It shouldn't be this problematic.

I have been using Seesaw for the last few years with my students. The families have mentioned how much they enjoy the interactive and flexibility of using Seesaw. The children can be creative when completing their tasks and videos. As a teacher, I have enjoyed seeing the students' growth throughout the year. At the start of the year, the parents were helping students complete tasks but by the end of the year, they were completing tasks independently. Sending feedback to students is great, too

1. I need to be able to add multiple photos at once. 2. I need the notifications and inbox to be separate. 3. I need do not disturb/out of the office hours. 4. I need captions to go back to how they used to be. It's harder to add them now. 5. I need add a photo to go back to go it used to be. You added one additional step to add a photo from device which is time consuming. Please separate add from drive/device/etc. again. 6. There are numerous other things I'd change about Seesaw itself.
