Compass School Manager 4+

just a suggestion

i feel like compass should have reminders on the calendar for things like essays and due dates (when you have them and what time)
sometimes either my teachers don’t specify when things are due/when we are actually doing them, i’m not at school to hear the due dates, or the dates that show up on compass are wrong (sometimes it says an assessment is gonna happen for a certain subject on that day but we don’t do it and just have a regular class)

i’ve been sick so i have missed a few days of school and i missed a timed essay which i wasn’t aware was happening on that day. it would be nice if teachers could set up due dates of when you have certain things on certain days (assessments, essays, tasks, etc.) where your subjects show up (like they do with assemblies and exams) and the app would give you automatic reminders like every one or two days prior to when you have the task/essay/etc.
would make my life a hell of a lot easier.

Far out!

I can’t log into the app, the user interface is inconsistent and weird, it doesn’t load when it needs to, simple features that can be easily made offline can’t be used offline. Along with all this you cannot submit work as files from go-to apps like one drive (you’d have to save it to the apple cloud for it to submit).

I’d like to mention not being able to login whilst in the app again. Which has to be the most abysmal thing about it because you can’t access any of its features (like at all) which defeats the whole purpose of it. Which means I’ve resorted to it on browser which defeats the whole purpose of having the app.

Simple fixes:
- insert a log in/ out button on the main page instead of having a whole page to have the same feature
- organise the ui a bit more
- Make it load 100% when you have internet (instead of not loading even when connection is good)
- Allow timetables to be offline (I’d just be more convenient)
- allow file submission to be compatible with well known file apps
- a little reminder that you’re not logged in instead of kicking you out would be more courteous.

Good for disseminating info to a certain group/school. Notifications are helpful to parents. However, i found something that is a poor functionality. If you have multiple alerts at the homepage, you will only see the 1st alert in the home tab, unless you click the ‘show more’ link. The text design is not noticeable. You can easily missed the 2nd/3rd/and so on alert if you have a hard time reading a small font. Also, this is just a suggestion, comment section for each post would be helpful.
