Red Rover K12 4+

User Friendly

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.

Jobs already gone

By the time I see them on my app exactly when it notifies me, they are already gone. And I’m seeing jobs at schools I hid. What’s the point of hiding them? I don’t understand preferences when I see jobs from schools I don’t want to work at. I don’t like this app, I’m not getting jobs. I have hidden schools I don’t want to see jobs from, like all the high schools and junior highs and I still see those jobs, so hiding schools doesn’t work. I worked pretty much every day the last 2 years on their old app, now the jobs are gone before I even tap them so they are NOT hitting everyone’s app at the same time. I hear the notification and can’t tap fast enough. And as filters, those don’t work either. I chose one and it goes back to no filters applied. Preferences says default. I guess that means all schools show, even though you have all schools as a choice. Other districts used the frontline app and I never had problems with it. I could actually choose the schools I’d work at and I then never saw jobs from ones I didn’t want to work at. And I could use Sub Alert that helped me see jobs first before they were gone. Your app is not one they support. I still don’t like your app as I’m used to working and picking the jobs I want. Now I’m not working as I can’t even get a job. I worked the first 3 weeks of school last year and pretty much worked every day in jobs I wanted. I’m a retired teacher.

Hello - I'd make sure you take a moment to go under School Preferences to hide jobs from the schools you don't want to see. It sounds like you are using the temporary filter, which is designed to help subs in districts that might have hundreds of jobs available all of the time to cull through the list of jobs that are available at that moment. Sounds like you are working at a very competitive district, and at this time of year, jobs can last just a couple of seconds before they are taken.

Great App

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!
