Its great that you can email so many teachers at once and teachers check this app out more than their email so theres a bit of a faster response time. ### 2/5 — Great app until… *2025-04-24, version 1.36.3* There is a fee for using. Can no longer use an individual account must be whole school which is stupid. Had to switch to another that doesn’t have the same features as This one. ### 2/5 — Terrible compared to ClassTag *2025-02-19, version 1.36.3* This app is used by our daycare after switching from the class tag Unfortunately, we don’t have any saying in the matter, but it’s a pretty terrible application on a parental side. One of our first frustrations with the application is downloading pictures. Videos are sometimes sent out by your school throughout the day with pictures of our children. One class tag, it was easy enough just to click download. On this app, you download and then it opens into Safari and you download it from Safari in a six step process. Needless to say, I easily have far or less pictures of our little ones growing up now and their experiences because it’s just that much more time-consuming to do. Messaging is much more limited. It’s a silly thing, but we used to be able to at least do some basic reactions to posts with a thumbs up, heart, etc. Now, that’s just not possible as a result, it’s a less personable app. Our daycare is also run into a restriction for messaging posts. I don’t know the specifics, but apparently they’re limited to 15 people. As a result, some parents have to select who they’re going to use as a contact. To get around this, our local Daycare has then been forming a simple SMS text chat. All and all, I am not happy with this application at all, and I can’t wait for a different one in the future ### 5/5 — Easy to use *2025-02-09, version 1.36.3* Pretty simple and easy for teacher-parent communication. ### 5/5 — Helpful *2025-01-29, version 1.36.3* I haven’t had any issues. It’s great to be able to communicate with my children’s teachers all in one place. ### 4/5 — Parent *2024-12-06, version 1.36.3* Works great! ### 5/5 — Classtag *2024-12-03, version 1.36.3* it helps me contact my teacher this app is five star ### 5/5 — App *2024-11-18, version 1.36.3* It is a great app. ### 5/5 — Ok *2024-11-08, version 1.36.3* Ok ### 5/5 — Lamar school *2024-10-17, version 1.36.3* New to the app! But it works great!!! ### 5/5 — Simple easy to use *2024-09-09, version 1.36.3* App is simple and easy to use. Wish parents could like pictures or posts but that’s all that’s missing. ### 4/5 — Happy to use. *2024-08-28, version 1.36.3* Gets the job done! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Not user friendly *2026-01-30, version 1.38.0* Our district moved to this application and it is much less effective and not as flexible as previous apps and ways of communicating. Items get buried and the search function is horrific. Even when you try to separate via class, etc, it does’t filter correctly. Also difficult to find and keep records of items. ### 1/5 — Slow and many other issues *2025-08-30, version 1.36.3* Slow to load new content. convoluted USABILITY and UX. Can’t give any thumbs up to let the teachers know we saw the message. That’s not really a heavy lift to add as a feature. The talking points apps is much better! ### 1/5 — Teacher Interface *2025-08-30, version 1.36.3* Doesn’t work well on iPhone. Can’t view student details or grades because it stops scrolling. Can’t easily click around because the box to see attendance records is cut off. ### 1/5 — Trash *2025-08-21, version 1.36.3* The new update is awful. Makes everything so much harder than it needs to be. ### 1/5 — Maverick *2025-08-15, version 1.36.3* You were so quick to respond on his sad day. Thank you for the love and care! ### 1/5 — Used to be so much better *2024-08-28, version 1.36.3* Given classes have more than 15 students ( and each student having two parents) the max of 15 recipients now makes this application useless for group communication between parents. Also, there needs to be a way to look at the full class list and check off a bunch of names at the same time; instead you have to type each child's name one by one in the search box. ### 1/5 — Unusable *2024-08-28, version 1.36.3* My kid’s teacher from a couple years ago used ClassTag. Now, his new teacher uses it- except this app won’t let me sign into my old account, or create a new one with my email or phone number because they are associated with my old account. This means I’d have to create a new email or get a new phone number just to use the app. Absolutely ridiculous. ### 1/5 — App loses messages while typing them *2024-08-25, version 1.36.3* First, let me say that I love the idea of this app, and it is helpful for the school to communicate messages to parents. However, the app itself is buggy and frustrating. It is constantly refreshing content and reloading itself and losing the place of whatever I was reading, or worse, writing. It is very frustrating to be composing a message to the school or a teacher only to have the app do a refresh or reload and simply lose whatever you've typed. It is so bad that I have taken to composing in a notes app and then copy/pasting into the app as a workaround. ### 1/5 — Not good *2024-08-16, version 1.36.3* This has been so much trouble for staff and families in our district!! ### 1/5 — I just get an email *2024-08-04, version 1.36.3* Please we need to get the regular text messages ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Phenomenal *2026-01-22, version 1.38.0* Since I been having access to this app it’s been a very great help! ### 5/5 — Great app system *2026-01-12, version 1.36.3* Very easy to navigate and working very well! ### 5/5 — New to Notman *2026-01-09, version 1.36.3* This is my daughter’s first semester in Norman schools. Compared to where he came from the communication between the school district and the teachers is 100% better. Her teacher, Mrs. Frickenstein, is amazing. She has helped her understand and love math within the first two days of being there. She is happier than I have seen her in over a year. ### 5/5 — School status app *2025-12-10, version 1.36.3* It’s a great school portal for logging in and is very helpful! ### 5/5 — Junior *2025-09-10, version 1.36.3* Muy bien ### 5/5 — LucilaG *2025-09-09, version 1.36.3* Marroquin14325 ### 5/5 — Loving it so far *2025-09-08, version 1.36.3* Loving the ease of use and communication lines here! ### 5/5 — Great *2025-08-29, version 1.36.3* Good ### 5/5 — Great *2025-08-28, version 1.36.3* Love it ### 5/5 — Love It *2025-08-27, version 1.36.3* It’s a great way to communicate with your children’s teachers. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
