Red Rover K12 4+

If you have substituted for years or you just started, this app is user friendly. After being certified to sub at your school district you can choose schools you would like to sub at. If you know the teachers they could add a job for you and if you’re not available for any reason just go to the “Availability” tab and add a non-recurring event. Also, the app lets you choose the days you would like to work. It’s a great way to form relationships with teachers and schools. You can see your substitute schedule in the “Schedule” tab and if for any reason you can’t make it you can cancel the job without entering a reason, though I don’t recommend you cancel unless necessary. If you’re interested in becoming a teacher, substituting is a great way to try and see a classroom setting and you gain experience.

Our school district started using this app two years ago. What a relief! Our former system was absolutely horrible and nearly drove me to quit my job….which I love! We lost many great substitutes over it. Red Rover has been like a breath of fresh air. I am not that tech savvy, but have had great success with this app! It was simple to download and is very easy to navigate. It is not intrusive or disruptive. I simply click on it when I want to check anything, or browse the notifications. It is convenient to cancel when need be, or adjust availability. I love the convenience and efficiency of the Red Rover system. Fantastic App!

My iPhone SE gen2 is not finicky with my touch, in fact it’s very accurate.
But this app is frustrating because it took minutes and multiple attempts to make selections “stick”. On most every option required. For example, one example in creating an absence is selecting the time of absence. A rotator scroll appears, I choose my time (1/2 day am), and it just scrolls back to “choose”. I try then touching that selection after scrolling the rotator. Nope. I end up back at the inital selection screen. And that happened with almost every selection item. And, try it when you wake up vomiting with fever at 2am!
And acknowledging that I had read the welcome bulletins and watched the video required minutes and multiple taps and retaps and going out an back in the bulletin. Whew it finally worked. Idk the problem, but not all absences are planned for surgeries next week, but sometimes are for real sudden illness… and I don’t have a computer by my bed, bicket and towel.
