Tap for Teacher 4+

Needs work - 2 Stars & a few wishes!

This App has been flagged by one of the schools I work for, so have signed up as it is a great idea ⭐️😊 - unlike others, I got in easily & and just set up the basics - my Contact details etc (figures i'd go back & sort my details like my pic., quals etc. when I had more time ⭐️😊- got a text re work this morning but was direct to my Msg Box & not through the App.

💭I then went into the App to add my availability - but the App says it defaults to 'Available' unless you change it - fair enough...so i figured I'd just Tap on the Red 'Unavailable' dot & tap dates - that would be the quickest & easiest way to block out days I can't work (🎉there App Makers, my solution for you); but NO, instead I have to block out individual dates - as I would on my phone but this is a tedious & timely process & twice, the App seemed to over-ride dates already entered & I had to re-do... pls fix glitches! 🚧

💭I then thought I'd upload my photo & Quals & add in the bits I'd missed earlier - cannot find a way to do this as there's no 'Edit' button that I can find & I went to the 'Help' bar which simply redirected me to re-signing up for the App on a continuous Loop.... problematic. Solution: please add an 'Edit' button so we can upload Docs & Profile Pic (can be done as Linked In does this & its really easy to sort 😁)

Hope this is helpful. Am now going back to being 'Old Fashioned' & will email my schools with my Availability.

Hi Tara, thanks for your review and letting us know where we can improve the app, it’s all really useful and appreciated.
To add more details to your profile, you have to log into your account on our website. We are looking at ways we can get this functionality onto the app as we appreciate it would be a better user experience.
With regard to setting your availability, you can set it for blocks of days/weeks, individual days and also set it for certain days each week that you aren’t available. We will certainly look at this and see how we can make it more user friendly. Thanks The Tap Team

Edit profile?

I would also love a way to edit my profile! Was done quickly while setting up the so and can’t seem to find a way to update my qualifications etc. tried the help button but have ended up here 🤷‍♀️ fantastic idea! As said above just needs an edit button and an EASY quick way to update availability /being unavailable as this is what will help the ap to be successful for schools to use 😀

Terrible app!

This is a terrible app! I missed out on a few requests from other schools using other apps as schools who decide to use Tap for Teacher can send you a request, then take their time & pick or choose from all teachers that they invited to fill that one position!!! If they prefer one teacher over another, you accepted the job offered, then get refused. It makes you feel terrible after a school picks someone else over you a few times! I prefer Class Cover or Relief Ruler, they send you an invite and if you choose a job, you just click and get accepted automatically.

Hi, Sorry to hear that you do not like using Tap for Teacher.

We have adopted a system that isn’t based on being the fastest to respond. This is because we know that such a system can be unfair for teachers who may be working when requests get sent, as they don’t get the opportunity to respond. The school being able to pick the teacher allows them to ensure continuity within the classrooms.

Did you know that you can say that you are no longer available for a booking request if you get a job offer from elsewhere?

Please email us at info@tapforteacher.com.au if we can assist you any further.
