The notification sounds are very bad, not loud enough and only do 3 repetitions. Obviously the techies that designed them have never been a classroom of 20 -33 students or they would know things can get very noisy in the classroom. Also, their main competitor, Jobulator, allows you to use the calendar to block individual days on their calendar. Again the developers of Red Rover have never subbed because your weekly calendar changes every week and you can't predict which days will have jobs on what date. Subbing varies each week if you are open. Unlike Jobulator, you can't opt out of the days you want to work on their calendar, they just ASSUME you have a standard schedule. This is a sub par App. I do mot like it and feel I am losing jobs because of the way it is structured.

Response from developer
Hello Tandiwe, Thank you so much for your feedback. There are definitely ways to change the volume of the notifications and select 'non-work days' in Red Rover. Please send an email to support@redroverk12.com with your questions about the app so that we can assist you. Thank you!
