Great app for school use

The app is great for classroom and school use. I do wish that teachers could see who viewed EACH post instead of just the most recent so that we can make sure nothing important gets overlooked. Also, it would be nice to be able to tag specific parents for posts like on Seesaw instead of only having the option of class wide updates.

Response from developer

Hi Kelly, thank you for your thoughtful review and valuable feedback. Good news—these enhancements have been requested by other teachers and are on our development roadmap for this year. We're committed to continuously improving our app and truly value your input. Please feel free to submit any additional feature suggestions through the feedback link located in the hamburger menu of the app. Thank you once again for helping us make our app better for everyone!

Serious privacy concerns

The school recently started using this app and it is very unsettling that the directory allows the entire school to see everyone in the app including emergency contact family members. The directory should be an opt-in feature, NOT mandatory.

Response from developer

Dear AnonReviewer1234, Thank you for sharing your feedback with us! We genuinely appreciate the time you've taken to express your concerns. Please rest assured that the Our School Hangout app is designed with security as a top priority. To address your specific concern about information visibility in the directory, we provide parents with the option to fully control their privacy settings. By unchecking the "Show in directory" checkbox next to each information field under your profile, you can hide all of your information from others in the school, except for your name. We understand the importance of fostering a sense of community among parents and facilitating connections for playdates. With that in mind, the directory allows parents to connect with each other, promoting a strong school community. Regarding your suggestion to hide the only field visible to other parents, which is your name, we take this request seriously. We are pleased to inform you that we will be introducing this enhancement in one of our upcoming releases, scheduled for either July or August. We hope this addresses your concerns and demonstrates our commitment to continuously improving the app's security and user experience. Should you have any further questions or require additional assistance, please don't hesitate to contact us at support@ourschoolhangout.com. Thank you once again for your valuable feedback!

Easy to use!

Our MDO and Preschool had been using this program for a year now and the app is an awesome addition! Easy to use and the developer is quick to answer questions and make enhancements. She is an awesome small business owner! 👍🏻👍🏻

Fast & easy to use

It was very quick to download. The app is very user friendly designed. So I was just able to figure out how to add classes, share notes, view what events are going. Basically this app has critical functions for the pre schools from the signup to payments.
