  • App is chill but I don’t like the comments people send

    I’m fine with the app but the thing that’s been annoying me is that my teacher is always sending negative things about my work and you might be saying that I’m not trying hard enough well I always trying my hardest but of course most of the time my teacher is always saying negatively stuff. So I just want to request that can there be a comments blocker so no one can comment and I pretty sure no is going to do it anyway but if you can add it it would be a lifetime 😁 I recommend the app for people who do online learning 😊

  • Unreliable notifications and pointless notifications at 2am

    I do not want to be woken at 2am by a notification “See your child’s week on dojo”

    Notifications of messages either drop off app before message is read or no notification even presents. When this is being used for important communication that is at best inconvenient (notifications about homework being seen after due) at worst potentially dangerous- (notification of a child not arriving at school).

    Also being unable to use the app until after update app makes it pretty much useless when you need to get a timely message through to school!

  • Uploading work

    Why can you not upload multiple items to a set class activity? EG once a week a specialist teacher puts their work activity up and often there are multiple parts like extension work to it or a video plus a written piece. Once I upload the video the set task disappears. I then can just create a new doc but I have to write to the specialist to please look at that date with that heading to view and comment on the work. I should be able to upload multiple items to a posted activity.

  • Great app that lets me stay in contact with school.

    I find this a great way to see what my kids were up to in school, and to make contact with the teacher. During COVID lockdown, this worked brilliantly for setting class tasks and posting assignments, my 6 year old loved this format. My one issue with this app is the notifications, or problems with it. It doesn’t always consistently notify me when a teacher posts a message or communication, sometimes not at all, other times it will arrive days late. Otherwise a great app.

  • Posts and pictures.

    I enjoy using Class Dojo it is a fun medium that helps keep communication between home and school fast and open especially with all the device (cell phone) restrictions in the classroom. My families love seeing pictures of the littles ones engaged and learning. They get to see what they would normally miss. It is an extremely helpful tool for remote learning also. I just wish we could attach more than on post to the school and class stories. Sometimes when I make a recording for my students I want to add a file, image or activity to go along with the lesson. I don’t want to overwhelm the parents with extra posts. I also wish there was a way to transfer posts between portfolios, Class and School Stories within Class Dojo. Whenever I try to download to post I get a lot of technical data instead of the images I want to repost.

  • Great app but I have a suggestion

    This app is amazing because the idea is good. The point system seems to work like magic because it promotes good behaviour. Parents can be informed about what’s happening in the classroom with Class Story. They can view completed homework and comment. The messaging is really handy.
    The suggestion I have is for teachers to be able to reward monster parts for free to any student, even if they are only using the free version. This would make it so much better for children whose parents can’t afford to pay for premium. The children would also be determined to get the new monster parts for their avatars, that they would actually behave better!

  • Why I like ClassDojo

    I like it because it’s fun and easy for the teachers to post stuff on to too. That’s why I like it.
  • This app needs an update!

    So as it's my last year of 8th grade, and every year for every new 8th graders at the end of the year we have a yearbook. So I went on ClassDojo to find photos teachers have put up on there, I found a lot, yes but there was more to find. I couldn't find the pictures as fast as I'd like to because I had to keep on scrolling down to find it, and when I would accidentally leave the app to send the photos to the yearbook committee, I would have to start scrolling again from the very top. Not only is this annoying but another thing is happening, I would be down in the app that it would crash and reload me to the top. I advise that you guys add a feature where you can enter the month or day of what you're looking for. And another update that needs to be done is to make students able to text their teachers, not being able to text your teacher when YOU need something is just absurd especially when you have a connect and safe space with your teach that you don't want your parents know from you.

  • I’m pretty mad about what just happened

    I’m in middle school and most of my teachers use class dojo during the pandemic. Most of my work is done on the website instead of the app on the phone since it is easier to switch tabs for school work. While I stood up late to finish up some work that took me hours, my progress reset out of nowhere. It’s absolutely pathetic to me that that happened. If this can be fixed where I am trying to switch tabs for school work without having to worry about my progress deleting then please fix this somehow. I stood up all night trying to finish some work and it went away. This is stressing me out so much because I stood up all night just to finish it and get some sleep but now I’m going to have to re do all of my work putting a lot of pressure on myself and stress. I’m also now worrying about the progress resetting. Please fix this. The app is great but I am just really mad about what just happened which is why it’s a 1 star rating, even though in general it is a 4-5.

  • Love it

    I’ve been using this since I started teaching three years ago. Recently we’ve been using this platform constantly at my school because of the quarantine. Although there was a slow period when everyone was trying to get on at the same time, this app is fantastic! Awesome way to stay connected with the school news and parents. The students keep connected in my room and I can add all their specialty teachers so they can communicate with them too. The only thing I’d wish to see with this app is the ability to edit a live document that you share on there. For example: posting the time slots for parent teacher conferences and parents being able to see as slots get taken up. That would be really beneficial and would make those events in the year much easier.
