As YumYummiDigitalSchoolMenus currently stands, I prefer my school's old Web-based menus, but YumYummiDigitalSchoolMenus could become better with some improvements. I originally rated this 3 stars, but I have lowered my rating because (1) no improvements are being made, (2) pictures are now sometimes misleading, and (3) at least one serious use ability issue (in leaving feedback) has appeared.
What's to like:
- Pictures of the food, when it shows the actual items.
- Easily click through to nutritional information.
- Larger print than the school's old Web-based menus.
What's to dislike:
- It takes four clicks to view lunch. Open app, click on splash screen, click on "My Schools," click on the school name, click on lunch. At a minimum, it should open first to "My Schools." Even better, let us pick the school it should open on, and even better than that let us pick the meal it should open on (breakfast or lunch).
- Pictures are often stock photos, not the actual items. Some pictures are actually misleading. As an example, one dish was "pollos y papas," pictured as diced potatoes and chicken with shredded cheese and visible seasoning. The actual dish was French fries, a container of cheese dipping sauce, and a separate pile of chicken. The kids were excited by the picture but ended up disliking the actual meal.
- Needs a full-week view.
- No list of ingredients. Our school used to list ingredients, before it went to YumYummiDigitalSchoolMenus.
- You can submit feedback, both comments and a star rating, but YumYummiDigitalSchoolMenus does not appear to show the overall rating, and it definitely does not show other comments.
- When leaving feedback on an iPad, the keypad covers the text box.
