As a result, other teachers receive the offers and I can’t see options for my three preferred schools on the job board. Very frustrating. ### 4/5 — Good but needs more options *2026-05-12, version 3.3* Good, but more options/filters would help (e.g., being able to choose afternoons only) ### 2/5 — Review of ATE. App *2026-04-06, version 3.3* Last year the app was foolproof and now it is an absolute mess. I just to work constantly with the app now I get no calls ### 3/5 — Missing details *2026-03-28, version 3.2* Functional app but missing a lot of details that are vital such as the teachers name and the grade, which is not available in the app on the website. ### 2/5 — Could be better *2026-03-22, version 3.2* I feel like displaying the assignment code rather than the teacher we’re supplying for on the forward facing assignment image is a weird priority, instead I have to go through two different drop downs (not technically but in principle) to access that information, when aside from the grade and timing that should be the most relevant information to be able to access. I really hope that this can be changed in the future to make the app more helpful to the people it serves! ### 3/5 — Meh *2026-02-19, version 3.2* App is fine when it works. I would be nice if you made it easier to switch between school boards if you work for multiple. Also the option for dark mode. It’s so bright. ### 3/5 — The updates are non stop and keep logging me out! *2026-02-17, version 3.2* I appreciate the updates but they are not letting me log in then. It is rather annoying! ### 2/5 — Good and bad *2026-01-20, version 2.8* It’s good when it’s good but infuriating when when it isn’t working properly. ### 2/5 — Hate this app *2026-01-18, version 2.8* This app seems to never work properly. I miss jobs all the time. I set it up to receive a text, reverted back to sending out emails, and then I have to login and then I miss the job. I contacted customer service and they told set up properly not. Just a garbage app. ### 2/5 — Useability needs work *2026-01-15, version 2.8* Well, I was able to get my task accomplished. It was not without a bit of frustration and confusion. I am a IT support worker, but I did not find this app intuitive to use. Could use a bit more useability testing, I can’t imagine how less savvy users could create an absence using this app. ### 4/5 — Multiple boards *2025-12-18, version 2.8* This app makes it difficult for those who are working for multiple boards. Always requires you to log out of one board and log into the other board to view jobs on the other board. There should be a tab option to switch from one job board to the other job board. There should also be a summation option to add the total number of completed jobs within a given date range. ### 1/5 — Unable to log in *2025-10-24, version 2.8* Very frustrating. For some reason I was logged out, and when I tried to log in it rejected my password. I have reset my password, but now it either says something went wrong or it just loops back to the login page. ### 1/5 — Garbage *2025-10-15, version 2.8* Can’t login to my school board anymore after being promoted this past summer to update the app. I’ve called you guys and you say it’s on my boards end. I call the board IT dept and they say they can’t fix it. Can get in only via email. Colossal waste of time trying to figure this all out. I hope the school boards get rid of you guys. ### 1/5 — Impossible to sign in *2025-10-13, version 2.8* Every time I update the app I get signed out, which would be fine if it would allow me to sign back in. And you can’t use the app if it isn’t updated. Super frustrating. ### 1/5 — Can’t log in *2025-10-07, version 2.7* I try to log in and it keeps looping back to the login page. Too bad as it would be convenient to check job applications away from my computer. ### 1/5 — Does not work *2025-09-19, version 2.7* As soon as you enter your credentials and log in, it reverts and asks you to log in again. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — AED Sucks *2026-06-02, version 3.3* Always down, very glitchy ### 1/5 — Inconsistent *2026-05-21, version 3.3* System is broken a lot, no one to reach, far too long to receive help and response, work calls are missed a lot even though you’re personally requested ### 1/5 — No notifications *2026-05-21, version 3.3* Why on the “job board” when I job pops up there is no notifications ? I have to stay on the app all day long and refreshing / closing the app and reopening. Jobs do not come through and notify you and it is very unfortunate as not everyone can be on their phones 24/7. ### 1/5 — View of jobs *2026-04-12* For some reason, I can view the jobs in the app on my computer but can’t see the jobs in the app on my phone. **Developer response:** Can you contact our customer care dept as we are not aware of any issues relating to viewing jobs and want to look further into this with you. 1 877 900 5627. ### 1/5 — Too many updates! *2026-04-10, version 3.3* The updates are excessive ### 1/5 — Garbage *2026-03-26, version 3.2* Can’t login to my school board anymore after being promoted this past summer to update the app. I’ve called you guys and you say it’s on my boards end. I call the board IT dept and they say they can’t fix it. Can get in only via email. Colossal waste of time trying to figure this all out. I hope the school boards get rid of you guys. ### 1/5 — Absolutely Horrid! *2026-03-03, version 3.2* Slow refresh on both the app and web version, frequently hangs, innumerable bugs, often necessitates logging off and back in again, useless features; hoping for a rival to this piece of junk soon! ### 1/5 — Too many glitches *2026-02-12, version 3.0* Anytime there’s an update and I update mine, it never works. It keeps saying there’s a technical issue. It’s been like this for about a week. No need for updates, if this is a recurring issue ### 1/5 — Glitch won’t let me login *2026-02-09, version 3.0* See title ### 1/5 — About the Easy Connect *2026-01-21, version 2.8* The Easy Connect app it’s not working at all. It’s not allowing us to sign our absence. It’s kicking us out from the ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — software error *2026-06-05, version 3.3* I can't see the school I chose. ### 5/5 — ApplyToEducation *2026-06-01, version 3.3* The app asks me to rate it all the time. It is not user friendly like Aesop was for working in multiple boards, and you have to login multiple times to refresh it. Worst investment for Nova Scotia. ### 5/5 — Devices *2026-04-14, version 3.3* Poor performance on IPad devices ### 5/5 — Simple and easy *2024-09-03, version 1.15* Very simple and easy to use. And fast as well. ### 5/5 — Perfect app! *2024-06-03, version 1.13* Love this app. Wish our board had kept it instead of changing to the buggy nightmare that is SmartFind express. Apply To Education is so easy to use, well laid out, and intuitive. I used to be able to check for supply jobs within seconds with Apply To Education. Now with SFE, I’m lucky if it even lets me log in after a dozen restarts. I miss you, Apply To Education! ### 5/5 — Easy to use *2024-01-08, version 1.11* Great app ### 5/5 — Please fix the calendar crash. *2024-01-02, version 1.11* Please fix the calendar crash. It’s not fixed since the latest update. ### 5/5 — Never works *2023-12-04, version 1.10* App never works, does not even open, never has, shame on Multimedia team. ### 5/5 — Great app, can have some improvements *2023-11-01, version 1.9* Haven’t had any major issues in the two years I’ve been using the app for supplying. There’s a bit of a delay after accepting an assignment or cancelling but a quick refresh of the screen fixes the problem. I would like to be able to see my assignments in my personal calendar (ei. Google calendar, iOS calendar, etc.). Adding a feature to share the calendar with a calendar app would be a great improvement. Keep up the good work 👍🏼 ### 5/5 — Amazing! *2023-09-15* Great way to keep track of my supply days and update my settings. Never had any issues logging in, or had any glitches. Not sure what other people are talking about. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
