Ratings and Reviews
Great to have info all in one place
Really easy to use, syncs with your own calendar and great to access all info in one place. Just one thought, there should be a passcode from each school used for initial set up, as it is very easy for other people to access this information. Perhaps this may seem a little far fetched but school trip information would be accessible to anyone.... Perhaps those individuals we would not want knowing where our children are. In light of this I have given 3 stars.
Good, but year group opt-in needed
Love that the school’s events sync with your phone calendar, but a year-group opt-in that can be easily changed each Sept would make this app a 5-star product.
Having two children at the school currently c50% of event info is of no interest. When our oldest leaves next year that will increase to 75%. At the moment I delete irrelevant appointments out of my phone, but the app still sends reminders for things we don’t need to know about.
Overall it is a great way for parents to keep up with school events and info and I’m sure it has prevented people ringing school to ask about dates as they are so easily available in the app.
A good start, but refinements needed.
Definitely recommend this app
Very good App for info, news, links to social media, website, etc. It updates my phone‘s calendar automatically. And I find it especially helpful that all important contact details are just there as well as letters to parents.
