works but not consistently
Lately only about half the alerts actually come through before frontline. the last week or so almost every frontline alert beats sub alert by a few seconds. when it does work it is helpful at getting jobs. if if was more than $5 I’d probably cancel
Great app and worth it
This app is the best for getting sub teaching assignments.
Not as good as it used to be
I used to always be able to snatch up jobs with SubAlert but ever since January of this year it doesn’t seem to alert of the jobs quick enough (Frontline updated and shows the jobs quicker now but their app still sucks). I saw a response that SubAlert checks for jobs every 60 seconds but that’s not enough anymore. Checking for jobs more frequently would help in my opinion. Every 15 seconds would be much better.

Superior!
SubAlert helps me to fill my Frontline calendar!
Good but I usually can’t book the jobs fast enough!
Almost every time, when I immediately book a job, it’s already instantly taken!
I don’t know what to do about this! It’s frustrating!
Otherwise, all good!

Deborah Olsen

No alerts
I signed up but barely get alerted now after paying
SubAlert
SubAlert is a treasure I just found out about it a couple months ago, but I’ve been subbing since 2024 and everybody’s been gay keeping on me. I love this app.

Good
Why bother sometimes
Not any faster than frontline these days

Not reliable
Not always getting the alerts before Frontline app. That’s very disappointing!
It’s very difficult to secure jobs because they disappear quickly. When I try to accept assignments,
It’s very difficult to secure jobs because they disappear quickly. When I try to accept assignments, I’m told to use Frontline only. I’m paying to be active, so I expected more direct access to available work. I hope the process can be improved
Faster than Frontline
If you want to have a chance to book the sub jobs, this app is totally worth it! It seems like 90% of the time when I click on a Frontline notification to try to book a job it’s already gone. When I click on SubAlert, it not only tells me exactly what the job is so I know not to click on it if it’s not what I want, I can click on it and book it directly without any other steps. I’m successful more often than not! Even though I didn’t want to pay for an additional app, the small monthly fee is worth it!

Frontline is free, subalert is not
Why does subalert charge money while Frontline is free and recommended by the school district?
Best Sub Teacher Job Alert App
This sub-teacher job alert app constantly scans for jobs in your preferred school district(s) and respective school(s) and immediately notifies you within one second. I instantly receive a text message, a phone call, and an email. I normally, and quickly, click on the text message and book the job right then and there through the app within three seconds. If you want jobs, get this app! It is so worth the low monthly cost as it pays for itself 100 over with all the sub jobs you’ll get!

Worth it!
So far the app has helped me quite a great deal.
Just wish the calendar was different
I like to use this instead of logging into my frontline so I wish they had a calendar view of all my scheduled jobs and available days rather than only having a list
Helpful
This app is helpful with snagging jobs!
Awesome App
SubAlert never disappoints. This app is “must have” for expanding sub job options. I’ve told several mutual substitute teachers about it!
Used to be good
This app used to be good. Most of the time I don’t get alerts anymore. Frontline beats this app. By the time I get to a job it’s already gone. I will be canceling my subscription.
