## What is SIMS Teacher?

This is the official SIMS Teacher app for schools using the SIMS school management information system. It simplifies everyday classroom tasks such as taking attendance, checking timetables, viewing pupil details plus recording conduct and assessment. 

NOTE: to use the SIMS Teacher app software must be installed at your school before it can be used. It only works in conjunction with the SIMS school management information system and the SIMS Teacher app services. If you do not have access to these then please do not install the app as it is inoperable without them. 

The SIMS Teacher app has been designed to support teachers by reducing time spent on classroom administration. Open the app to take the register and it shows the name and picture of all the pupils in your class. If you need to mark a pupil late, the app automatically indicates the current number of minutes past the class start time. 

All of the data used by the SIMS Teacher app is encrypted so that confidential information cannot be accessed by unauthorised personnel. With real-time access to timetables and student information, the SIMS Teacher app helps to accelerate the flow of information throughout the school to improve teaching and learning.

### 2/5 — IPad Pro problems and limitations

*2020-11-01, version 5.3.85*

I like using this app, especially when I have groups of students off site, however, I have just bought an iPad Pro and now when I get to the 4 digit code for login the keyboard does not come up on screen so I can’t enter the numbers!

I’m also frustrated that the behaviour management section does not provide the full range of incident codes.  

This app needs a serious update and overhaul to be much more user friendly as we are required to use it in school and there is no alternative.  Perhaps this is why Capita doesn’t bother developing this, as they have no competition!

### 1/5 — iOS update incompatible

*2020-09-21, version 5.3.77*

Was working alright, but with the new iOS update, I can no longer create a passcode to get in. Please fix!

### 1/5 — So bad

*2020-02-14, version 5.3.26*

My kids want to learn but it is not working at all

### 2/5 — Please update this app

*2018-11-21, version 5.0.0*

Like previous review mentioned, it has a lot of potential but seems like Capita don’t care much about it. FIRST OF ALL, THE APP LOOKS AWFUL ON AN IPAD PRO. This app last update was 1 year ago!
I still need to log in every single time and it’s annoying. I believe that remember me issue can be fixed. I can see behaviours but can’t see detentions i.e. with who and where is the location.

The app is too basic. Capita needs to add more functionality and improve to justify the cost since it is an extra add on paid by the school. Everything is moving to mobile devices now (iPad, Tablets, Chromebooks, Laptops), so Capita needs to move forward quick.

### 3/5 — Has potential but needs work

*2018-02-02, version 5.0.0*

I enjoy the ability to quickly register my students but get frustrated with the severe limitations of the app. The 
Login process is very lengthy and I cannot check detentions when I see a thumbs down, Creating a need to log on on a computer.

### 1/5 — Awful

*2017-11-04, version 5.0.0*

You have to log in by typing in full email and password, then putting in passcode in twice. I click 'remember me' every time, but to no avail. This happens multiple times a day. So much quicker to use my laptop, but it's so frustrating, as this could be so good.

### 1/5 — Terrible!

*2017-08-20, version 4.8.7*

Super Confusing and really painful to delete- I had to reset everything. Only download if you really know what you're doing and that you won't delete it (soon at least).

### 2/5 — No iPhone version?

*2017-03-31, version 4.8.5*

Our school have iPhones for staff as appose to iPads! Such a shame there isn't an iPhone version as the app on the iPads is fantastic

### 1/5 — Quite simply the worst service I've ever used.

*2016-10-17, version 4.6.5.0*

Constantly offline. Overly laborious log in when it does work.

### 1/5 — Crashing app

*2016-03-13, version 4.2.0.0*

This is a great idea to help teachers however, since downloading the most recent update, the app is impossible to use as it crashes every time I try to open it. Such a shame.
