Frontline Blocked?

It won’t let me sign up for Frontline, and I can’t get ahold of their support. I can’t tell whether it’s been blocked altogether or what

Everything that is wrong with capitalism!

Don’t produce anything; don’t innovate anything; don’t provide any value; don’t bother fixing your glitchy app… Just stand in-between teachers and subs and collect $10/month to be a bridge troll, while we do all the work. Now your shady app got blocked, and you’ll have to find somewhere else to make loads of money without doing anything. 🥲

Really slow

Emails come way after the actual frontline app sends a notification , based on the email time stamp and not when the email comes through as my email are pushed to come through immediately. Also, it does not send texts.

Customer service and customer expensive

The application is solid, generally works and the calendar syncing interface while good tends to be a bit flaky - sometimes syncs and sometimes not. Customer service unfortunately is poor - with delayed to no responses. There are other front line apps out there that are half or quarter the price.

Substitute

I love the app and have enjoyed substituting the last couple of months ❤️
Everyone have a great summer. I hope to see you in August .
