Notification problem

My school district switched from front-line to red rover. Before I could fill up my week with jobs, now with red rover I hardly get any notifications. There's a huge gap between the desk top version and the app I will get a job notification on the app minutes after its posted on desk top. I have the notification setting full volume with the most obnoxious alarm for when a notification comes in and I can barely hear it if at all. I used to be able to sub full time and support myself subbing, with red rover I now have to look for another job because it's not meeting my needs. I've met with peoplr in the district to see if it was a problem on my end, it’s not and i know a lot of other subs are having the same problems.

Jobs Are Always Taken

Shoutout to ease of selection of assignments

I enjoy the opportunity to take a look at assignments and the detail that you provided to make a good decision on where I want to substitute. Great job thank you so much.

Easy to read interface

A good system to use I’ve been very happy with it. No issues. Everything works as it should. Easy to get jobs.

No alerts

I have tried all the tips and tricks and I am still not getting alerted to jobs. Only times I have gotten a job is when I just randomly check the app and refresh it . It's very frustrating.

Excellent

Efficient and timely.

Choice glitch

Everytime I apply favorites to my account it never stays that way.

Super Easy and Quick

Very nicely designed. Works extremely well on an iPhone. Very intuitive and simple. Highly recommend!

App support

Needs better support when IT tickets are submitted. The IT support via the app directs users to contact the schools appointed contact for Red Rover app which is a joke because they have a generic overview of the red rover app like the user so no matter the situation you can expect very little support.

Mystery grade

I won’t pick up a job if I don’t know what grade I’m teaching. I prefer more information not just Primary or Intermediate grades.

Review of the Red Rover Subbing Resource

I’m liking this site because the listings are sent as a request notice besides being on the website. The notifications come through and I can easily accept or go right to the site for other possible listings.

Getting notifications about schools too far away

Should not need to put preferences/favorites in each day to see jobs near me. I miss the old system.

Not Working

At least three teachers in my building are unable to see their scheduled absences. When we click on the a day with the red dot nothing happens. According to Red Rover when we tap on a day with a red dot the absence details should appear on the lower part of the screen. This is not happening for us.

Keeps crashing

It freezes and crashes constantly.

Frustrated

I haven’t had issues until now. I went to the app and I had to log back on. Once I did, everything was clear. All the jobs I had accepted or even had accepted were gone. Nothing from the school district that I had accepted for the future was there. I had to delete the app and see if my previous information would come up. I couldn’t even select a school district before. All I thought was to delete the app and reload. 🤷🏻‍♀️

Easy to use

Red Rover is easy to use after you set up your schools to work at, and set the days you cannot work.

Survey Interference?

For the most part, Red Rover’s been OK. But twice I have accepted a job and it looks like it’s processing to say it’s all mine, unlike the rapid response to indicate this job has already been taken. But when the processing icon leaves the screen, I get a short survey which ends and then indcates the job is no longer available! It feels like the interruption of the survey allowed somebody else to go in and get the job. Anyone else? It is ao hard to get established each year and coupled with designated favorites seeing the jobs first? It is a little distressing.

Contact field should be a required field

Nearly all of the schools I work in do not include contact information. Help us to help you!! Give the schools required fields that they MUST fill out. Contact info is the basic, but if I’m being honest, parking, entry info, grade, subject, and school hours are the bare minimum!

Lacks basic functionality

It’s a pain to sign in every time, it doesn’t populate the right email for sign in, and I can’t view current absences. Needs an update.

Subbing app

This app isn’t showing what grade the assignment is for most of the time and that info is very helpful.
