Just no
This app is not good. I used dojo for 10 years before our district was forced to switch to this and it’s such a sad app in comparison. Drab colors, the messages don’t fully show and parents most likely won’t click them to see the rest. Photo uploads take FOREVER and then parents can’t even open them. Photos sent from parents to teacher and vice versa through the messaging feature don’t open or show on mobile. On the desktop you can’t see them all. It will say 14+ photos and only let you click on 4 of them. To see them you have to manually download all of them (no one will be doing that!) can’t post videos on the main announcement page. As others mentioned, it’s hard to find the parents to message them because it says their first and last name but not the child’s name so you have to go figure out which guardian goes with the child you are messaging about. On dojo it would say “Sally’s parent” so you knew easily. Also, I have parents connected to me from previous years which makes it really confusing as well. I don’t like this app at all and I know the parents don’t because they barely log in and read the messages or complain about it crashing and freezing. ALSO PLEASE ADD EVENTS FEATURE! Dojo had it and it was so much easier to schedule all the days off or events so parents could see them.

Horrible
Literally one of the worst communication apps for school. I miss being able to use Band so much. Not having a calendar feature for Theater is ridiculous, can’t message a group of 6 or more people, you post an update for students and parents to see AND THEY CANT COMMENT! So you get the same question 15 times. The students just made their own Band app group instead and keep up with each other instead and don’t want to use the app because it does not function well. School districts are idiots for choosing this platform.

Run away from this app
My district is forcing this on all buildings across the district. This is such a clunky app. It’s not user friendly. Lacks appeal for elementary schools. It lacks all of the things that make Class Dojo a great app. If I could give it less than a zero rating, I would. Promises are made about new features, but no timeline is given. Run from this app.

Not Great
This app is not user friendly, doesn’t look nice or appealing, and is just overall poorly made. It’s inconvenient for staff and parents.
Great App for Schools!
I use this for constantly posting on social media for our organization. It’s easy to use and is consistently improving features!
