### 4/5 — Helpful

*2025-11-20*

It is a helpful place for the school to get its announcements out. I just WISH they would put a small red circle over the group’s thumbnail when the group posts something new. Then the circle would disappear once you have read the new messages. Like iPhones do with texts and emails. I am in 10+ groups between all of my kids, and Binderly does tell me there is a new post somewhere. It just doesn’t tell me where! So I check all 10 groups! I have just learned about the inbox tab which is helpful. But the red circles would be much more intuitive and simple.

### 2/5 — Hey developers!!

*2024-10-31, version 1.8.0*

Fix the start up. 🤨

It’s having a hard time loading about 70% of the time. 🤮

### 3/5 — It could use some work

*2024-08-15*

When i’m trying to read messages in a group chat i have to reload the page every time, there’s no profile pictures, no replying to messages, not being able to @ people, and not being able to react to messages.

### 1/5 — Often very glitch

*2024-07-27, version 1.6.16*

This app glitches often, makes me re- login frequently. It’s a mess

### 3/5 — Uh-oh Something went wrong

*2024-02-28, version 1.6.6*

I have been unable to log in multiple times - “something went wrong”

### 5/5 — Best app ever!!!!

*2023-11-30*

This app has been life changing as a teacher and as a student! It gives me easy access to all the information I need!

### 5/5 — Best Time Saver EVER!

*2023-11-30*

I’m am a single mama that is always looking for ways to stay on top of life. SchoolBinder allows me to be in the know of everything going on with my kiddo at school. It allows me to directly communicate with the teacher, alert me if there is an opportunity for her to participate in, or reminders of events coming up. I have been able to volunteer in school with easy signups taboot.
Icing on the cake are the discounts for local vendors!
HIGHLY recommended!!!

### 5/5 — Brilliant App!

*2023-11-30*

School Binder is one of my very favorites! This app is incredibly user-friendly and I use it daily. In a vast computer world, where we are distracted from moment to moment, I appreciate having a place where I can find calendars, messages and all the essentials in one place! It saves me so much time and energy as a mother! Big fan over here! I wish this had been created years ago! Here’s to many more years of success!

### 5/5 — So convenient

*2023-11-30*

I love having a way to stay connected to my kids’ schools all in one place! No more scrolling through dozens of emails. My youngest loves having easy access to the lunch menu! So convenient and easy to use!

### 5/5 — Busy Parent

*2023-11-29*

Love SchoolBinder…with multiple children at several schools participating in several groups each, this app helps me easily keep track of it all.

### 1/5 — App is bad

*2026-01-08, version 1.10.1*

The way the platform is setup is bad. No group chats, notifications often miss. UX is bad.

### 1/5 — No help

*2025-05-16, version 1.8.4*

I submitted a help request months ago. Now school is ending in to the point of spending time saying talk to your child’s teacher of using another way for updates. The app just will not open 98% of the times I tried.

It’s now 5/16/25, 16:35, still no word. My app still does not open 99% of the time.

### 1/5 — Just bad.

*2024-10-03, version 1.7.3*

I don’t know why our school switched to this. Binderly is just bad all around, lacks features and UI is terrible. Notifications don’t work.

### 1/5 — Issues

*2024-08-20, version 1.6.18*

-Not able to log in on app 
-Not able to have a link emailed about lost password
I can log in from the website but app won’t log me in, I’m putting all the correct info in too. 
So frustrating!!

### 1/5 — Not letting me log in

*2024-08-20, version 1.6.18*

It’s not letting me log into my account

### 1/5 — Great Idea, but something is wrong

*2024-08-19*

Feeling frustrated that this is the only app that I have access to for certain communications with school related activities and more than half the time I can’t even log in.  It kicks me out but I cannot log back in and miss out on real time questions / coordination because it constantly tells me “something went wrong”.  Is this being looked at by anyone, or is an update coming upcoming that will address these issues?  Reading through comments it appears this is a wide spread problem.

### 1/5 — Keeps Freezing/Crashing/Making me reinstall!!

*2024-08-16*

Multiple times a day, the app freezes or doesn’t recognize my account or location. I have to completely delete the app, reinstall it, and login again. What is going on?! Very frustrating.

### 1/5 — Why

*2024-08-16*

Why does it not open the group chats? It looks like it’s loading and will stay on that blinking screen forever!!!!! The other parents keep telling me to close the app to refresh it but it’s not working. I wish the school would use something else that isn’t so archaic. I feel like I’m back in the 1900’s using dial-up internet with how much this stalls. So FRUSTRATED!!!!!!!!!!!

### 1/5 — Uh Oh! Something went wrong

*2024-08-15, version 1.6.18*

This is a terrible app. It logs me out randomly. When I try to log back in, it just says, “Uh Oh! Something went wrong.” Try to change my password, “Uh Oh! Something went wrong”. I TRY AND MAKE A NEW ACCOUT AND IT JUST SAYS “Uh Oh! Something went wrong”. ITS A TERRIBLE APP IM FORCED TO USE BUT CANT GET PAST THE LOG IN PAGE!!!!

### 1/5 — Worst app I’ve ever been forced to use

*2024-08-15, version 1.6.18*

Logs you out randomly and won’t let you log back in. It’s slow and help/support is non existent.

### 5/5 — Pretty fire

*2026-03-27, version 1.11.2*

Helps me know what’s going on for track

### 5/5 — Genius!

*2023-12-13*

I have so appreciated this tool as an effective way to communicate in our school. I love it as an educator but even more as a parent. So tired of all of the apps, the different teachers and administrators want us to download so we could stay informed. I’m tired of schools pushing my kids to social media if they want to know what’s happening at the school. It’s time schools get on board and buy an app like this that is comprehensive and communicates with all stakeholders. I really appreciate the development group and they’re openness to feedback. I know it’s fairly new but it’s amazing. All schools need to take a look at this. Get their heads out of the sand about appropriate school communication tools!

### 5/5 — Love it!

*2023-12-10*

As a college student it’s so nice to have everything I need in one place. It has made this semester so much easier!

### 5/5 — This app helped me so much!

*2023-12-05*

I am a college student, and I was feeling like I needed to be more involved in my school. This app made it so that I could find out about some really cool opportunities.

### 5/5 — Mom Life Made MUCH Easier

*2023-12-03*

This app has brought calm to the chaos momma life can bring. Not asking for the chaos to stop, because watching your kids be involved in their schools is the sweet reward of being a mom.  Having kids in various schools and involved in various sports, activities, groups, etc. This app has made life so convenient to keep tabs on everything from in class activities and grades to after school events and sports teams for all your kids and the different schools they are in. Make your life easier and use this app 💯

### 5/5 — Awesome tool for a coach

*2023-12-02*

As a high school coach, I had multiple communication avenues before SchoolBinder.  For example, I had too many GroupMe’s to count:  parents, player, senior, juniors, etc.  I had way too many emails, text groups, Google chats of the same groups.  

SchoolBinder has allowed me to consolidate all of these avenues of communication into one single source for all information.  

I’ve been beyond pleased with the way it has I burned me in the area of communication.

### 5/5 — Schoolbinder

*2023-12-02, version 1.5.9*

Newest Update is Terrific!  Love it

### 5/5 — school binder is the best

*2023-12-02, version 1.5.6*

OMG I LOVE SCHOOL BINDER

### 5/5 — AWESOME APP!!!!

*2023-12-01*

This app is so helpful with school announcements and upcoming events for groups you have joined! It makes my life so much easier and it has a very helpful layout. Really amazing app! I suggest all to get it!

### 5/5 — Great app!

*2023-12-01*

So happy that the University I go to started using this!! Super nice to get notifications about events happening rather than trying to find out on social media or not hearing about them at all!
