  • Best Substitute Teacher App

    This is hands down the best substitute teacher app there is!! I have tried a few of them, this is the best one there is!! As soon as a teacher puts in for a day off, I immediately got a text and a call. Due to SubAlert, I was working full time because I received the notifications before all the other substitute teachers. If you are looking for something that will help you snag sub jobs quickly I would definitely subscribe to this app, it is definitely worth the $6.95/month!!
    I ended up just unsubscribing because of my new job endeavors, I contacted them to cancel my subscription. The customer service was amazing!! They refunded my last transaction (a day into it) and canceled my subscription for me. If I ever go back to subbing in the future I will definitely be subscribing to SubAlert again!!
  • LOVE IT!!!

    I just want to start by saying SubAlert is one of the BEST tools I have used for getting 80% of my jobs instantly when they become available. Most of the jobs that I get on this app/text system, would most likely have been gone if I had to check online daily. Especially when I am at work and cannot check online all the time. It's a two step process to get the job. I also bought the advance just incase, because I know my texts will always come through. Super convenient and I tell all the subs I know to invest in this service. The cost of this service is cheaper than 1 day of work in the district I work in. It pairs up so well with AESOP! If you are a preferred sub for a school/teacher you get those job alerts right away.
  • Pays for itself every month on the first hour of an assignment

    Before Sub Alert, my family would be awakened repeatedly every morning at 5 am when the Robo calls from KES for THAT DAY started coming in. Some jobs I couldn’t take because they were a foreign language or mathematics so I would reject them only to quickly get another call - waking my family again - with another job offer. Once I accepted a job, I’d have to scramble to get ready, make my lunch and drive to my assignment. I can always book a sub job with Sub Alert. I have the $6.99/month package and I’ve met other subs who got the $4.99 package but upgraded after meeting me because those text make all the difference. It’s more effective than when I sat on Aesop refreshing my screen all day...only to be beaten out by someone with Sub Alert. Don’t know why I’m encouraging others to get on Sub Alert when I could keep this as my secret weapon for always having an assignment. No one in my family misses those 5 am phone calls. Even the dog is happy I got Sub Alert.
  • Excellent!

    After reading through other users reviews, I felt compelled to write my own. First, I am very pleased with SubstituteAlert. Sure, I will be notified of a job and sometimes when I click accept the job will be gone...but that also can happen on AESOP. I have found MANY subs use SubstituteAlert, therefore, it’s a matter of which of us click first; not a flaw with the app, such as lag time. I find that SubstituteAlert works to my benefit, obviously due to the jobs I would not otherwise get unless I sat at my computer or on my phone refreshing AESOP continually, but also because it’s EASY and CONVENIENT! I can accept jobs and see my schedule of upcoming.
  • I love it enough to give 5 stars (ALMOST)

    This app is great!! It notifies you three different ways via text, phone call, and email. The text and phone call together really get your attention and help you snag a job when one comes available for subbing. The only thing I wish it had that Jobulator has is the calendar view. Also Jobulator has a direct connection to the AESOP calendar which is VERY convenient to be able to see both and help you see your open dates. On Jobulator it is also helpful to have the calendars when you have to block yourself on a day and be able to go directly to AESOP.
    Add those two features and it will be PERFECT!
  • Best Sub App Out There!

    When I first started subbing, I decided to try all of the available apps at the same time in order to compare. SubstituteAlert regularly notified me of available jobs BEFORE the other apps. Additionally, it was very user friendly.

    I recently had to cancel my subscription as I was hired by the school district & will no longer sub. That is when I was really impressed by the creators of this app...they personally congratulated me on my new endeavor, wished me luck in the future & cancelled my subscription immediately. Props to Matt of SubstituteAlert for being so kind and providing great customer service!
  • Get it!!!

    I am new to my state and this app alerts me when every open job hits Aesop for my selected schools! I had been for the first half of the month of August - logging into frontline 10 times a day!!! And only got 3 jobs:( thanks to this app I am working my selected 4 days a week ! And this week I am even getting calls directly from schools to see if I can sub! Thank you for helping me get my foot in the door to build relationships with schools ! My husband and my daughter know the app ringtone I picked and if my phone is on the counter they run to get it and start shouting,,,, it's a sub job!! It's like a game to see if I am going to book it or not! I have gotten 20 jobs during my free trial and have turned down double that! I am so going to pay for the subscription! Thank you thank you thank you!
  • Subbing like Crazy!!

    I had asked a few friends how they were getting sub jobs and they told me about another app. After reading the Jobulators reviews I decided to try this app since its was free for a trial period. I absolutely love it!!! A child could understand it..LOL! I have had really good luck with it. I have been subbing at kids school at least four times a week since school started. The app is really easy to use! I have it set to a certain ringtone so it texts me the job and then calls me right after the texts comes through. I love this because my kids are usually on my phone and when I hear that text and then immediately a phone call, I know it's a sub job. I have never missed one because of not hearing it. This was my first year subbing and this app has made it extremely convenient!! If your on the fence, just try it and if you don't like it than your not out anything.
  • LOVE this app!!!!

    Substitute Alert made getting jobs so much easier. I loved the fact that I got both a text and e-mail alert because I was sure not to miss out on a job. Signing up for jobs was a simple touch of a button instead of the stress of having to log into Aesop every time. You receive a notice and just hit the button to say whether or not you want to take the job.... that easy! I had the 30 day free trial and ended up keeping the service until I got a full time position. If you want to sub regularly then sign up for this app and make sure you are the first to know about an available job.
  • Great app!!!

    I've been using this app for about four months now and it's amazing! I've gotten all of my jobs solely from this app. I never have to log into AESOP, I just receive app notifications when a job is posted. Thank you so much for creating this app and saving me time- I never had to constantly refresh AESOP and hoping a job appears after downloading this app and signing up for their service. It was worth every penny!! In addition, I recently contacted customer service and they are so helpful and prompt with their reply. You can't go wrong with this service if you want to be successful with substituting. I was a full time substitute thanks to this app!! :)
