Simply Circle the app

Simply Circle the program is a phenomenal way to help organize & communicate for school groups. It is difficult to find data management services that can organize both a non-profit and education. That written - the app is a good tool that just doesn’t always function as well as a web browser. Which is frustrating to users.

Decent service but needs mobile fixes

Top request: on iPhone when comments are long the app truncates them ending in ‘...’ but you can’t tap or hold to view the rest.

Great app that connects me to my kids school

As a parent, I like to be kept in the loop about what’s going on at the school. I’m glad the school is using SimplyCircle (third year in a row), because everything I need is in one place. The calendar, volunteer signups, photos and field trips announcements are all there. I like that I get notified when there is a new post or announcement. At home I log into the web version, but when I’m out and about I use the mobile app. Good app - and it’s free.

Really want to like this!

But it's buggy...
When I edit an event it doesn't replace, but duplicates
Then I need to go one-by-one and delete all of the "old" events
Also, the keyboard in the add address field on mobile iPhone doesn't allow commas, so all group members need to be added one-by-one and saved out individually
I do love the daily email digest!
I hope videos are coming soon as well as a place to view important documents and photos

Not working

I had read a review on a mom tech blog that circle was a good way to manage group info. I've downloaded the app and can't add my basic group info. The app times out and gives me an error when I try to add a circle name. Too bad, thought the combination of features was a good one.
