Sounds for jobs, etc
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.

Only Able to Snag One Job This School Year on App
Ridiculous! Notifications are not at all timely. I have gone on the actual website, shows no jobs available (largest school district in the state) shows no filters applied. I then click on filters button and voila, a list of jobs pops up. Maybe only a couple which is quite odd for a district of 6000 teachers. Sometimes there are my preferred schools too. On my app ? Shows nothing available.
Maybe, just maybe I’ll get a notification on my iOS phone/ watch. Click on phone to see, nope already gone. Now I’m a certified teacher who was on contract for 20 years with this district. We always had smart find express which was efficient and effective as a teacher requesting a suband also working as a sub. Last year after retiring I subbed. Had job calls every single day and first dibs since I was high on the preferred list being a certified teacher. Also on SMF could specify not only the schools but the content, grade level, etc. Not so on this program. Also, this year rarely get a notification and when I do it’s gone in bleeping nanoseconds.

A hot mess of an app.
This app is one of the most frustrating I have ever used. My two major issues:
1. I selected my two favorite schools as I only want to get notifications on available jobs from my favorites. I still receive notifications from the entire district. I end up having to filter by favorites and then of notifications because I get too many now. I feel like this has been happening since this school year started.
2. Calendar integration when sharing a calendar with the family is a mess. Other members get an average on 20 notifications of additions and deletions whenever checking the schedule on the app and when jobs are accepted.
Both of the issues listed are known issues from other reviews I have read. I would really like to see a sense of urgency to fix the issues from the developers. Looking forward to a fix soon.

Hello! As this is not a support forum, our responses to reviews have to be limited but we would love to assist you. There is a way to set school preferences one time. Filters and preferences are different. Filters are temporary and preferences are permanent. Please send an email to support@redroverk12.com. We look forward to hearing from you.
