Not user friendly
I’m a classroom teacher and am required to use this app to communicate with parents. It isn’t user-friendly for families.

ClassDojo to Apptegy
I have used ClassDojo flawlessly for the past 10ish years. Apptegy makes it difficult to find a parent to a child to message them individually. (You can’t search by the child’s name to get to the family.) Giving points in ClassDojo was simple by just tapping a student’s name/avatar. Apptegy makes it very difficult by to scrolling down a list, checking a name, and choosing “add” and selecting points. As far as I know, I cannot take attendance in Apptegy, so selecting all students for points means I need to unselect students every time. Another very frustrating components is navigating the app. I made a class, but my messages aren’t included in my class, so I have to go in and out of that area of the app. Adding pictures is also very challenging as I have to write a description for every photo or choose AI to write for me (which describes the photo in a very silly way). Lastly, the amount of clicks/touches it takes to navigate the app just takes up an absurd amount of time. (Question: Like ClassDojo, can I see when a parent translates my message to their home language?) Suggestion: Call the app the same name for teachers, parents, and students, so there is no confusion.

Average
This app isn’t the most reliable. It’s not the easiest to use.

New to the app
I like the app but I really wish that we could schedule messages, not just announcements, to parents. It would make my teacher life so much better. I have missed out on so many updates because of this. Scheduling messages to go out when you get new information for future events is just so convenient. I also wish that we could turn off read receipts.
