Horrible

App says there is an opening and alerts me I must be the last person to get the notifications because before I can finish reading it gone

It’s not working

I can’t get jobs and I’m not able to find help

Bad

It doesn’t work like it should it shows work on some people and not others

Grade designation

Please add more precise grade designation to teacher absences. ‘Grades 1-8’ is not specific enough. I know Rover has this capability but please ask Cambridge district to give you more precise grade levels. Thx!

Red Rover Review

My husband is a sub, but I am the one who always has to have my phone with me and preferably right in my hand unless there is a job that pops up. I don’t even look at it when it comes up because if I don’t tap on it immediately it’s gone to someone else. My finger can’t move fast enough. I’m sorry to say, but I dislike Red Rover very much.

Sub with ease!

Red Rover makes it easy to be made aware of jobs - at your fingertips at all times!

Stressful

A very stressful experience. Notice of an assignment is received and by the time you open up the request, it’s already taken. Unlike Smartfinder Express, it doesn’t give you any time to check dates and accept. Very stress inducing experience.

PLEASE FOR THE LOVE OF GOD CREATE A DARK MODE

This is 2026. Create a Dark Mode already

No password code

I downloaded the Red Rover app. I put in my username I didn’t have a password one, a code was supposed to be sent to me, but it never came. I cannot get in it Red Rover.

Late notifications

I am getting notifications when someone have already picked the job

Poor Notification Times

Jobs don’t seem to pop up at the same time for different users. Had much more success with Frontline

Can’t get sub jobs

Screen doesn’t refresh in time even when open and even though I’m very quick at tapping the notification for an available sub job, it’s already taken. Well, at least someone is getting a job…

Awesome App

I’ve been using this app since our school district adopted it. As a retired teacher, being a senior citizen, I found it easy to use and customize it to my needs. Since I am not too tech savvy, using Red Rover makes me feel like I am.

No calendar link to my iPhone

Very frustrating that when I accept a job I cannot link it to my iPhone calendar!

Substitute teacher

Your app is extremely challenging for me to try to accept jobs. I can be on my phone and get a notification, and go to it immediately, only to find out that the job has already been taken. I can’t figure out how somebody can get to it faster than I can repeatedly.

Jobs gone

When the app goes off and I try to accept the job it tells me it is already taken

Red Rover sucks

Every time I am trying to sign up for a job something goes wrong. Just now a job popped upI pressed accept and the RR said, Upps something went wrong. When I pressed again the job was no longer available. This happens over and over again. The old system was much better.

App critique

The access app for subs doesn’t match the training app. This makes it hard to visualize availability for pending needs and accepted positions.

Ok

It’s ok.

Multiple issues

Notification not loud enough

Very slow connectivity

When attempting to access calendar it says my phone device cannot access
