### 1/5 — Faulty app

*2026-08-25, version 12.11.1*

This app does not display notifications properly. They should consider reaching out to Sub Alert to find out how to make notifications appear as the job does. 90% of the time no job is there even when I have the app open waiting. It is very frustrating for a substitute teacher who relies on this for a livelihood. Would love to see it improved, but would rather the districts returned to the phone call model. Worked much better than this.

### 5/5 — Great

*2026-08-25, version 12.11.1*

Love it

### 3/5 — Review / things to improve

*2026-08-24, version 12.11.1*

There are things that are very annoying about FL
I hate combo teacher. Art music pe is more descriptive 
Often contact and location info is incorrect. No excuse for that. 
School times are almost always wrong. No excuse. 
Sometimes teachers are associated with previous schools. No
Excuse! 
I would like to know who, if anyone reads those reviews you ask for. I have never meet a person who has.
Sub services needs help. They don’t answer questions at all. 
Is there some system that keeps track of substitute problems. If so how can a substitute question this? 
Your policies lack clarity.

### 5/5 — Easy to Use

*2026-08-21, version 12.11.1*

Great app for finding and accepting substitute jobs. It is easy to use and helps me check available jobs quickly.

### 5/5 — User friendly

*2026-08-20, version 12.11.1*

Frontline is very user friendly and has lots of ways to modify alerts/notifications

### 1/5 — Seldom works

*2026-08-19, version 12.11.1*

I don’t know how anybody could be getting onto the app faster than I am. It must notify some people sooner than others. I am seldom ever able to sign up for a job before somebody else does.

### 3/5 — Lost Sub job

*2026-08-18, version 12.11.1*

I just lost the possibility of a Sub job because your app was so incredibly slow.

### 2/5 — Unsuccessful

*2026-08-17, version 12.11.1*

I use this app to login and out for my time card & I would like it to be more dependable.

 It can’t always find the wifi in my building. 

Some days it kicks me out & I have to re-login.

Today I am unable to login at all!

 I’m sure it’s not an easy fix/solution but I’d be very grateful if the app were given an update for these issues. 

I also deleted and reinstalled the app to try and fix the problems… 

Thanks for your help…

### 1/5 — Incredibly slow

*2026-08-17, version 12.11.1*

App is slow to load and refresh and by the time it actually works right the job is usually gone.

### 1/5 — HORRIBLE!!!

*2026-08-17, version 12.11.1*

This app doesn’t even deserve one star!

From day one, the lag in job notifications has caused me to miss dozens and dozens of substitute jobs every semester. It got so bad that I started using SubAlert, a third-party app that could pull jobs from Frontline and alert users within seconds of the district posting them. We’re talking up to 10 minutes faster than Frontline’s own notifications!

Apparently, Frontline didn’t like that, because they eventually blocked third-party apps from accessing the jobs posted by districts. I hoped that meant Frontline would improve its own notification system, but unfortunately, it has only gotten worse.

It’s incredibly frustrating to miss job opportunities simply because the app is so slow. I wish my district would move away from Frontline and use a system that can actually get the job done—literally!
