## What is Edsby?

If your school uses Edsby, this free app lets you access some of its features on the go.

The Edsby app has many of the capabilities of the main Edsby web browser interface. Some complex features for certain types of users, such as the Edsby gradebook used by teachers, aren't available on devices with small screen sizes.

Your education organization manages its own, private Edsby system. To log into it, you’ll need to know its Edsby server address. If you don’t know it, ask your school.

### 4/5 — Can’t log in

*2026-07-15, version 2.4.1*

I randomly cannot go in into my edsby account and the district I go to is the greater Essex county district school board and when I try to log in from student and staff login, it said that “ Sorry, but we’re having trouble signing you in.” But how can I fix this issue?

### 1/5 — Logs me out randomly

*2026-06-17, version 2.4.1*

Always logs me out randomly every so often. I never have the username and password either because it’s so picky with what can be the username. So if I need to check something important, and I’m logged out. I’m hooped. No other app randomly logs you out every month or so. Stupid

### 1/5 — Glitchy Galore

*2026-06-11, version 2.4.1*

Edsby and the apps are always super glitchy. Not sure why they can never troubleshoot. Perhaps from going too big, too fast and can’t keep up. I have a lot of patience with new technology and as a teacher, but even making assignments under content is glitchy. For example, when editing a title, the assignment disappears after saving. I wish we would go back to D2L LMS. I get discourage from updating and building online courses with EDSBY. Not teacher friendly for using. However, I do like it as a communication tool and that’s it.

### 1/5 — Straight teeth

*2026-06-04, version 2.4.1*

Its just straight teeth nothing more to it

### 1/5 — Terrible App!

*2026-06-02, version 2.4.1*

I really do not like Edsby. It is slow, hard to use, and makes school work feel more confusing. The app is full of buttons and menus that are not easy to understand. Sometimes it takes too long to find important information like homework and grades.

The design looks old and boring. Notifications can be annoying, and the app does not always make it clear what needs to be done. Using Edsby feels like extra work instead of something that helps students stay organized. I would not recommend this app unless it becomes much easier and faster to use.

### 1/5 — Bad app wish schools did not use it

*2026-05-26, version 2.4.1*

Glitchy and will not clear assignment notifications

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work

*2026-05-25, version 2.4.1*

School please stray away from this app. it doesn’t load half of my grades and it never loads. it’s very frustrating to ask each teacher what i got after every assignment and test. i’m going into grade 10 so this is extremely stressful and unnecessary

### 5/5 — amazing

*2026-05-22, version 2.4.1*

idk why the bad reviews it's better altternative to having to go to google to access edsby also not glitchy

### 1/5 — Needs an Overhaul

*2026-05-05, version 2.4.1*

There has got to be a better solution for schools to communicate with families. This app is clumsy and difficult to navigate. I get so many notifications every day that I miss the important ones. Grades are difficult to read/understand. Report cards are not in an easy to read format. Submitting absences should be so straight forward but selecting the times is so frustrating! It is super annoying to receive email notifications about new posts that you can’t even read within the email - you have to go to the app to see anything. Clicking on the email doesn’t even open the app it makes you sign in via a browser. At least 95% of people are managing their family’s lives on a mobile device and this mobile app needs a complete overhaul. How so many schools chose this is beyond me. Then again, common sense is lacking a lot in public schools these days.

### 5/5 — Great!

*2026-05-03, version 2.4.1*

It’s great
