Logs me out randomly

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

Glitchy Galore

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.

Straight teeth

Its just straight teeth nothing more to it

Terrible App!

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.

Bad app wish schools did not use it

Glitchy and will not clear assignment notifications

Doesn’t work

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

amazing

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

Needs an Overhaul

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.

Great!

It’s great

Awful

Worst “communication” app ever. Hated by every parent, teacher, and student forced to use it.

The worst

Truly the most glitchy app of all time. When was the last update? 2004?!?

hi

i like the confetti when an assignment is submitted it makes me feel so proud 🥹

Additional

edsby had brought horror to many students. this is why technology is hated on sometimes, because students back in the day couldn’t go on their phone on a P.D. to check homework ☹️

This app shouldn’t even exist

This app is completely useless, inconvenient, and not user-friendly at all. It hasn’t improved over the years and is glitching very often. The 'Remember Me' feature is broken, forcing me to re-enter my full credentials every single time I open it, even for a short moment. It is 2026, and such a basic function should work without issues. It is a disgrace that the School Board allows such a poor-quality app to be used by students and parents. The 1.7-star rating in the app store speaks for itself. A total waste of time.

Basic functionality missing

The fact that this app is made for viewing photos, but I can't actually move forwards and backwards through fullscreen photos, fills me with such frustration! Also - no matter what I do on IOS - this app will NOT show notification badges.

Also looking at other reviews and the developer has said to use the desktop browser instead in response to complaints!?! Come ON

Not bad, not great

The app is not amazing; however, it is not worth only 1.7 stars. The app does its job perfectly fine—nothing too good or over my expectations, but nothing absolutely awful either. The app is very overhated, and I actually love it and find it easy to use. The only problem that I have with this app is that it is hard to see where your report cards/progress reports are and to see your class members/teachers. Other than that, I enjoy it overall. I would recommend this app to a friend. Please fix this issue to earn 5 stars from me.
