In fact it’s getting harder to use. They do not update very often but after this recent update, there’s no longer spell check and the bullets/numbers don’t work. ### 4/5 — Gets the Job Done *2025-02-06* Our PTA has used this app for all family communication at a public school of 500 kids for the last 1.5 years. It takes some practice to get the hang of it but has really helped us with creating and sharing events and small groups within the school. ### 2/5 — Great potential, terrible user experience *2024-10-09* This could be a great communication platform, but falls a mile short from being usable. Scrolling issues, can’t select and copy text, can’t bookmark or set aside important messages, can’t open links from messages, impossible to organize messages and events ### 4/5 — Sparse labeling but if you click around you can find things *2023-08-08* If you see a blank screen with numbers of parents be sure to click the top right icon to get to the actual list of parents. ### 3/5 — Deleted messages or groups keep coming back *2023-05-11* I’ve been using this app for 4 years. I keep trying to delete messages and groups I should no longer be in, and I don’t care to see, but they all keep getting reloaded. Developers, pls fix. ### 3/5 — App buggy and needs Dark Mode *2022-10-22* This app has a problem uploading images. It won’t appear most of the time until you kill the app and restart it. Also would be great if we can get dark mode on this to be easier on the eyes. ### 4/5 — Messages need Like buttons *2021-11-11, version 4.12.2* Messages need Like, Love, Support, Sad buttons to show acknowledgement to messages without needing to be verbal. ### 2/5 — Has a lot of bugs *2021-09-08, version 4.12.2* I love the potential of this app but I think we aren’t using it because it’s so buggy. It just needs a better development team working on it who can just make it function better. ### 4/5 — Feature requests *2021-02-02* I like the current features very much and would like to see more incorporated to quickly identify a contact’s status and their availability, from within the left hand margin: 1. A section to add frequent contacts. 2. An indicator to show when they are actively using the app (or request privacy mode), away, in a meeting, commuting, sick or vacationing, etc. 3. A numerical indicator next to the contacts listed in private messages section that indicates how many people are on the thread. Thanks for an awesome app ### 4/5 — Like the app but... *2020-09-26* Overall I like the app but I'd like to see if konstella can program in a "Mute" button so one can selectively mute members so their post won't appear in your feed. If this function gets implemented, then you can simply mute all parents except the teacher/room parent, etc. It would be super helpful in straining out the unnecessary notifications. ### 4/5 — Love the app but no YouTube? *2020-09-07, version 4.11.23* I love the Konstella app but what is the deal with not supporting YouTube attachments on mobile. That is totally unacceptable! ### 3/5 — This app is ok *2020-04-10, version 4.11.20* This app was going great until we found out that the was a phishing attempt this app should know haw to prevent that. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Not a Good App *2026-02-08, version 4.14.0* Doesn’t listen to feedback to make the app better. ### 1/5 — Am I the only one whose kid moved schools? *2025-08-29, version 4.13.5* It seems *literally* impossible to update my kids school. None of the directions online work. No way to contact Konstella. No way to remove the old profile and add a new one. I’m about to make a new email account just for this. I cannot be the only person whose kid moves schools? ### 1/5 — Worse app ever *2025-02-26, version 4.13.4* Hard to navigate. Impossible to find things unless they are right on the announcement board. Each school posts and sets up things differently. What a 🤬 nightmare. I would rather have things go back to paper than use this garbage. ### 1/5 — can't mark all notifications as read *2025-02-10, version 4.13.4* can't mark all notifications as read ### 1/5 — The worst *2024-03-14* This is the worst app I have ever used. It was bad when I started using it 3 years ago when my son started preK and it has steadily gotten worse and worse. It is slow, it is clunky, it is confusing, and the search function, argument the most important part of the communications app, basically useless. You cannot search chats, cannot scroll up through chats without jumping back-and-forth in the timeline, skipping weeks of communication. Suppose of my updates every three weeks, but I have never seen any improvements and the fact that they had to be completed in 2016. Makes me believe the company is actually defunct. ### 1/5 — Impossible make changes *2023-08-18, version 4.12.5* My children went to different schools in the same school district . Unfortunately it was impossible to have both on this app . It went even worse when they changed their schools . It’s still stuck at the first choice . ### 1/5 — Buggy garbage with UX from Windows 95 *2022-11-16, version 4.12.2* Choose a better platform. Your parents and PTO will thank you. ### 1/5 — It is not user friendly at all! *2022-09-26* I think it is so hard to tell!! It should be like Facebook kind a format instead of list style. And it will be nice like your one kids chat room and grade page that it shows on top of main page! Like click to your kids room!! Class dojo does way better!! It is so much clear what is going on at school and news of principal comments on the app than this! We are getting all kind info from email and this app and each grade has on site! It is so frustrating to gather all the informations! It should be all in one place!! ### 1/5 — Always shut down *2019-10-29, version 4.11.14* When I review pictures, it always shut down ### 1/5 — Krashing often *2019-08-22* Konstella is crashing often. It has already crashed twice or thrice and I’ve only been using it for 3 minutes. Last year it didn’t crash this much. I hope the developers identify the bugs. I experienced the crashes while switching between apps while updating my child’s classroom and while generally using the app (and switching back from other apps). So it may be a cache issue. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Helps stay connected and scheduling *2025-12-01* Thai is such a great app for parents to stay ahead of all schedules in one place . Is we can have school schedules ( not just PTA) here it will be awesome ! Thanks for all the work on getting this to where it is . Has made life of busy working moms like me a lot better ### 5/5 — GAME CHANGER— school comms FINALLY all in ONE PLACE! *2024-06-28* Our public elementary school (550 students) has used a multitude of channels for communications and it’s very confusing to know where to find the info if it’s not cross-posted. And it changes every year depending on the PTA members. This simplifies EVERYTHING so parents get all communications in one place— even if they don’t sign up (all parent emails are private and you’ll receive info regardless if you get the app or not—so it’s fully inclusive!) No need anymore to search through Facebook, Instagram, WhatsApp, Room Rep emails, Principal newsletters, etc. It seamlessly saves updates and offers parents to connect to other parents (again, without them seeing ANY contact information). Privacy is paramount and you can chat with classes/committees/direct messages, see events, get more involved, or just see who is point person to volunteer for any school opptys. Amazing features like setting up sign-up sheets, fundraising, PTA memberships, selling school merchandise, and more. Our school is SO excited to have a very simple solution to finally reach all parents to create a more inclusive community that are now more easily informed and involved! Thank you Konstella! ### 5/5 — Happy person *2023-04-06, version 4.12.5* Wonderfull.We are happy to have this service.Thank you ### 5/5 — Wonderful to be connected *2023-01-07* This is my grandson’s second year at Stonebridge and I really appreciate all of the information. It really facilitates communication regarding school events, sign ups and general information. Thank you for making this resource available and for all of the hard work that goes into maintaining it. ### 5/5 — Awesome *2022-09-08, version 4.12.2* This ap is very intuitive! I love it ### 5/5 — good *2022-03-16, version 4.12.2* good ### 5/5 — Great to stay connected *2020-09-26* I really love this app as a way for our class to stay connected and info share, especially when remote schooling! ### 5/5 — high praise for this site! *2020-02-29, version 4.11.20* as a grandparent , of a student at the school... plus, being a neighbor... i am happy to get the notifications/ messages from my grandsons teacher... and i have never had an issue with the site! ### 5/5 — Revolutionized School Communication! *2019-10-23* I cannot say enough wonderful things about Konstella. It has completely changed, for the better, the way our elementary school communicates with each other. We are all more well informed, know each other better, more involved, and everything in between. To note, Konstella on desktop has way more functionality than the app. Use your computer for creating things and use the app for viewing things, and then you’ll be happy. The customer service is amazing. They always respond within 1 day and have implemented many of my enhancement requests. We are in our 3rd year! ### 5/5 — Admin and Parent *2018-09-08* Highly recommend this app! I use with two different schools and it has been a huge support for families and leadership! Communication is easy and consistent. Builds relationships faster and well between parents as well as between leaders teachers and parents! Calendar is very useful including the ability to sync to different calendar programs. Carries over from year to year. Program and app Support is fantastic and responsive. Something to be aware of is try to use the full internet version once to get used to it then the app is easier to understand. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
