### 1/5 — Frontline Blocked?

*2026-04-23, version 5.0.0*

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

### 1/5 — Everything that is wrong with capitalism!

*2026-04-21, version 5.0.0*

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. 🥲

### 1/5 — Really slow

*2025-11-02, version 5.0.0*

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.

### 2/5 — Customer service and customer expensive

*2025-06-19, version 4.1.1*

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.

### 5/5 — Substitute

*2025-05-20, version 4.1.1*

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 .

### 5/5 — Substitute Special Education

*2024-08-02, version 4.1.1*

Thank you for your support, I consider you as an important connection to know more about the available jobs. 
Sincerely,
Substitute,
Rosa Sanchez

### 5/5 — How?

*2023-12-29, version 4.1.1*

How can I change the district on my Subsidekick account?

### 1/5 — Automatically accepted jobs

*2023-09-22, version 4.1.1*

This app managed to automatically accept two jobs for me in the first twenty minutes I had it. Neither of which I could take, not the look I want my new district to see.

### 5/5 — Highly reccomened

*2022-12-26, version 3.0.3*

I recommended this app to my sister who was looking for a job, she thanked me as she got a really well-paying job!

### 5/5 — Well-developed

*2022-12-25, version 3.0.3*

The well-developed app, with an easy-to-navigate through UI.
