ClassTag—Classroom Engagement 4+

I like it

The school I work at uses it school wide and I feel like it’s working just fine for us. I only use it to post important notifications to my classroom
Parents or to private message them in regards to something about their children.
My problem is that I’ve been using it for three years now and I have old messages from parents of previous students that I would like to delete. I have not found a way to delete them. Can you please create a way to delete old messages?

I wouldn’t use it if I didn’t have to

This app is what you get when a developer spends 90% of their time figuring out how to monetize an app, and 10% of their time making a usable app. I don’t understand the glowing reviews. Must be from a review farm or something. Every inch of this thing is filled with obtrusive ads. I get it, you need to make money. But when that is clearly done at the cost of any usability, you’re doing it wrong. Be careful you don’t accidentally tap somewhere when you’re trying to navigate, because you’ll be kicked out to one of their sponsors. Conveniently , the screenshots don’t show ANY of the ads you will be bombarded with inside this app. I only use this because my child’s teacher uses it. I would never choose this app/service voluntarily. Even the emails are awful. Do better. I have apps that find a balance between ads and usability. It is possible.

Not App friendly

This app use to be better.
Last year it was simple. This year they jacked it up with log-in social media linking and it signs me out after every use. I can’t “activate” my profile even when I click on “activate now”… The ads get in the way of important information the teachers are posting. I missed several cool posts about my child’s first day. Luckily I did some digging and found them after another parent asked if I had seen the first day of school pictures… And lastly there just aren’t enough parent options to filter through what is being sent to me notification-wise.
Super not user friendly. Will be recommending a different app to future teachers. :/
