TeacherEase - Parents/Students 4+

This app works fine for sharing grades but the email function works terribly. Longer length emails come through to Apple Mail on iOS so small as to be unreadable - which ends up meaning that many families don’t read them at all. Formatting is also typically a mess, such that you often have scroll horizontally to read text or view charts. And sending emails to school directly through the app is clunky. E.g., you can only send them to one teacher/admin at a time. Our school has two teachers per classroom, so that doesn’t work well.

The app is not bad at all. Gives updates and send notifications when work is missing. How up to date it is, well that’s dependent on the teacher and how quick they are to update grades. You can tell some teachers do it fast other takes weeks. But that’s not the apps fault. Has the ability to communicate with teachers by sending them emails directly. Can pay fees or add money for lunch for your child. Do registrations and pretty much anything in between. I have enjoyed the use of the app myself. Just have to learn to use it.

This app is supposed to be used to provide information from educators to parents, to support communication. But it’s just a nightmare, there’s never any notifications of what is occurring, no information is provided through this app, the app is never stay logged in so you are not able to even get notifications if that actually was able to happen, and the app doesn’t even adequately provide the necessary information to parents from educators to assist for parents to stay informed about what is occurring with their children. I find regular communication with weekly newsletters and regular emails directly from the teacher to myself as a parent much better communication.
