What's New in Studybugs

4.0.1

January 29, 2026

• We’ve made it clearer whether a message is read or unread.

User reviews

Seriously? Doesn’t need to be an app

Imagine a rubbish email client and a single text field form to report sickness. That’s it. Doesn’t need to be an app- web page would be fine. Yet more clutter on my phone.

Fine

Its a fine app for reporting to the school and messaging the office but the user experience of the app is terrible. Why can’t I bulk read or delete messages I don’t need? Simple UX that really needs fixing.

Awful

Needs to have a search button so we can find a message easily. Also should be able to delete messages we no longer need. Awful app

Useless

I was excited with the new update but you can’t do basic stuff in this modern age:
- bulk mark messages read or delete.
- no way to highlight important stuff.
- no way to search..

Come on!

Easy to use and helpful to know about absence guidance!

As above!
