If I post an announcement, then post photos, my announcements get lost. Or if you could have a tab for just word announcements. ### 4/5 — Submitting Photos *2025-02-11, version 4.2.5* The only thing I will complain is not being able to upload many photos at a time. It’s very time consuming when you have to add 3-9 photos at a time. I wish you could upload more. Can they please fix this. Is would help so much! ### 4/5 — Review *2023-11-22, version 4.2.3* I love Homeroom, but I do wish there were a few more options… I wish we had the option to select several photos at once and delete them from the gallery. I also wish there was a way to move photos around. ### 4/5 — Love this easy to use app!! *2023-08-15, version 4.2.3* I am loving this as a way to share a glimpse of our school day to my kindergarten parents! So simple and easy to use and keeps everything in one location. I only wish I could reorder the photos after uploading and have them stay exactly in the order that I want. Other than that, this app is great 👍🏽🙂 ### 4/5 — Liz *2022-12-22, version 4.2.3* I kinda like Homeroom ### 2/5 — Can’t Upload any Photos *2022-10-28, version 4.2.3* I’ve used this app for 3 yrs. Used to love it. Last year the photos would take forever to upload sometimes. Now I haven’t been able to upload a single photo for one month. I have no choice but to switch to a different app. There seems to be no support for this app. I know 2 other teachers with same problems. ### 4/5 — Great photo sharing for classrooms *2022-08-27, version 4.2.3* I have used this app for the past 4 years to share photos with parents/families of my preschool students. It is a similar format to facebook, photos you upload are posted for participants to view, like and comment on. Users can also save photos you post to their device and you can have more than one group at a time. It’s easy to start a new group for a new school year, or delete an old one. You can turn off some of the features depending on the privacy level you want. I suggest teachers check their settings before inviting parents so that only you can edit settings or add people. Only people you invite to join the group can view the pictures and announcements you post and you can easily remove people if needed. You can have more than one admin if you have coteachers or assistants. My only complaint is that it can be very slow to upload pictures sometimes. It is faster to upload 1-2 photos at a time, otherwise photos get stuck in a seemingly endless uploading phase and don’t post until hours or days later. ### 1/5 — Review *2021-10-31, version 4.1.7* My parents are struggling to join. It’s been time consuming and frustrating. ### 1/5 — Fix notifications *2021-10-28, version 4.1.7* Need to fix notifications for when something is posted. Hasn’t worked for as long as I can remember. ### 1/5 — Disable comments should be an option! *2021-09-06, version 4.1.7* I would use this app if teachers had the ability to disable the comments feature, and I know a lot of teachers who feel this way too. I love sharing photos with parents, but we just can’t have them commenting to each other or to us all day long. “Liking” is one thing, but commenting back and forth is another. So I won’t be using this app. ### 3/5 — Great app, but need help and support unreachable. *2021-06-08, version 4.1.7* Easy to use and clean layout. Submitted several support requests for an issue impacting entire class and cannot get a response. I’d love to have a way to reach out for help! ### 1/5 — Cannot verify email *2021-05-10, version 4.1.7* Tried for an hour to verify email but the email verification message never arrived. Tried to verify phone number and the message came instantly. ### 1/5 — Slow *2021-05-08, version 4.1.7* Why do I need to wait for weeks before I can get invite to a room? The teachers send me an invite and it has been 3 weeks and I haven’t got the invite to join their club. This is not just for me but every other parent. Why would you want your customer to experience this? Please share workarounds or fix this. ### 1/5 — Can’t access my albums *2021-04-30, version 4.1.7* My son’s teacher shared an album with all the parents in this app, I registered and I’ve been trying to access the album for 3 days and I have no success. There is no support for the app, I submitted a request and nobody got back to me. It’s so frustrating. I add 3 different emails to send the code to verify the email and I don’t receive anything. I’ve checked on every folder, 3 different emails, this problem is not on my end. ### 3/5 — Photo Book *2021-04-22, version 4.1.7* I’m a teacher we’ve ordered photo books but, have not received any confirmation that they have been received also, emailed and haven’t received any response.... ### 1/5 — Kicked out for no reason *2021-02-09, version 4.1.7* Kicked out 1/1/21 for no reason. I have sent MULTIPLE requests to fix this. I just want to see my three year olds pics for the day. But no response. Ever. This app works fine til it doesn’t and then it’s just another app startup joke. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Uploading pics *2025-12-01, version 4.2.5* I have been having trouble uploading my pics ### 1/5 — Troubles *2024-12-20, version 4.2.5* Having trouble lately with getting pictures to upload easily ### 1/5 — It freezes! Cannot upload *2024-09-13, version 4.2.5* It freezes! Cannot upload ### 1/5 — Frustrating app never works *2024-04-20, version 4.2.5* My preschool uses this app and i am writing as a teacher. I’m not able to upload pictures and in the event that I am, it takes forever. As a busy teacher this app is frustrating and disappointing. I have tried one picture at a time and it still doesn’t work. Any input is appreciated ### 1/5 — Why can’t I just view the pictures without setting up an account? *2024-03-07, version 4.2.5* That is all. ### 1/5 — Sadly this App is outdated for Android! *2023-09-07, version 4.2.3* It works amazing for iphone, but not all of our parents use an iphone! We will have to search for another platform. ### 1/5 — Use a toast! Not a full screen takeover! *2022-08-27, version 4.2.3* I HATE that every time I save a photo, I get taken out of the experience because a full screen modal covers the screen in black with a checkmark to tell me that I saved the photo successfully. Omg. Just use a toast! A tiny snack bar! ### 1/5 — Crashes *2022-04-07, version 4.1.7* I used to be able to save photos from the app but now it crashes every single time I try and has for the last year. ### 1/5 — Proceed with caution *2022-01-17, version 4.1.7* We had successfully used Homeroom as a private network for our school’s families — and it worked quite well — until about last year sometime. Some issues we’ve continually experienced 1. Image uploading: you add image and then there are no images to select 2. After getting image to load, you write a long detailed message & none of it posts 3. You are limited to 50 subscribers Hope this helps. ### 1/5 — Unable to verify email *2021-11-17, version 4.1.7* I have not been able to verify my email. The app says it sends the email but I haven’t received it. I’ve tried multiple email addresses multiple times. I’ve tried uninstalling and reinstalling. The teacher has tried sending the invite multiple times. I emailed for help and was told they’re aware of the issue however it has not been fixed, so I have no access to the classroom for my kiddo. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — A Proud and Satisfied Teacher *2025-02-12, version 4.2.5* I Just really love and enjoy this little app makes a big difference for those working and busy parents to see what’s going on inside the classroom We get to share very educational and memorable moments with our families Very Pleased ***Just wish we could load longer videos! ### 5/5 — Finally *2024-09-22, version 4.2.5* Finally a completely easy to use photo sharing app that lets you write about the pictures too. I’ve tried a bunch, this is the best and easiest. My families love it! ### 5/5 — Love *2022-07-09, version 4.1.7* I love how easy it is to use this app. I also just created my sons first book of school pics! Love the book feature! ### 5/5 — Call Sandy *2022-05-29, version 4.1.7* Digit Feel free to really enjoy Tuesday tofuffyifjougji Call Barbara Redman Kyrie Shaye hi yes yes ### 5/5 — Cannot use *2021-01-23, version 4.1.7* Give five coz I suppose this should be a useful app, but I cannot use it. School sent me invitation and I can see it. However, I cannot get verification email. I submitted this issue on your website but no response. ### 5/5 — So simple *2020-12-08, version 4.1.7* This is so easy for me to use. It does not overwhelm me like others have in the past. ### 5/5 — Amazing! *2020-07-16, version 4.1.5* I needed a free way to share all of our amazing class pictures with all of our awesome parents. This app. was extremely easy to use. I was able to load all of the photos and it allowed me to write under each one, so I could say who was in the picture or what the activity was. I will continue using this every year and I would definitely recommend this to anyone who needs to share pictures with multiple people. ### 5/5 — Love it! Thank you! *2020-04-08, version 4.1.5* Remote teaching has been a better experience because of this site! Students post their assignments, art inspirations, incidental learning, outdoor fun, and resources for one another .... it’s kind of like a version of Facebook for children where they can share n inspire one another as well as get feedback from their teacher and each other . Thank you!! ### 5/5 — Great app *2019-10-08, version 4.1.1* Such a wonderful way to help ease new mothers into being away from their children- being able to see them throughout day is a great relief. Easy app very basic and easy to move around ! ### 5/5 — Homeroom Rocks! Seeing is believing-Cheers to the 2019-2020 School Year!!! *2019-09-12, version 4.0.3* Wow, wow, wow! Easy, breezy, chicken sneezy! Our class is overjoyed with the Homeroom App. My “Firsties,” adore their posted pics and their parents...well, enamored to say the least! Feedback 100% positive from all parties. “WOW!” your families in this new school year...2020 is 20/20!
