## What is SchoolsBuddy 2.0?

The complete School-to-Home Management System for Parents, Staff and Students 

Mobile application for SchoolsBuddy's integrated portal for activities, bookings, sports, billing and transport.

This app is for all users in a school from Activities and Trip Co-ordinators, finance departments, through to parents and students. If you have multiple roles, the app will enable you to switch role and help you on a daily basis.

SchoolsBuddy is part of the Faria Education Group product suite which includes learning and admission applications via ManageBac and OpenApply, however, SchoolsBuddy can function in a school without these tools.

Used in over 400 schools in 50+ countries to enable schools to improve parent engagement, simplify processes and enable schools to manage anything extra-curricular in an organised way.

We sync data from many world leading MIS/SIS providers and allow Single Sign-on with a variety of providers including Google, Microsoft, ISAMS, Firefly, ManageBac and many more.

### 1/5 — Glitches every use

*2025-04-18, version 1.5.1*

Absolutely rubbish. Glitches every time I use it. Unable to book any fun events for my daughter as this is the only app they use.

### 1/5 — Terrible

*2025-04-11, version 1.5.1*

Simply doesn’t work or load. Ever.

### 1/5 — Does load pages

*2025-03-28, version 1.5.1*

Even though app is updated, still not loading the pages correctly. Schools, please use some other app.

### 1/5 — Terrible

*2025-03-09, version 1.5.1*

Glitches all the time so you can’t book things in when you really need to.

### 1/5 — Worst school app

*2024-09-18, version 1.4.2*

This app is the worst school app we have ever used, it crashes all the time, its full of bugs its so bad to use as a parent.. I hope that out school listens to the parents and scraps this app.

### 1/5 — Never works

Appalling functionality. Forced to use it.

### 1/5 — Terrible I can’t believe so many international schools would use this

*2023-12-27, version 1.4.1*

More often than not, you can’t even log in.
Just awful

### 2/5 — Good idea, bad execution

*2022-09-14*

The idea is excellent, however with three children this app is a mess. 
Improvement needed when you have multiple children in same school, as well as better design when using the app on the phone

### 1/5 — Pages won’t load so can’t book session

*2022-09-03, version 1.2.5*

This is useless! Pages won’t load so can’t book wrap around care sessions.
