Changed this summer, Less reliable.
Over this summer there must have been an update. Since returning last fall the app is demonstrably worse.
I think the main culprit is the app seems to log off after a very short amount of time. I’ll be in the middle of grading and it’ll boot me. I use to be able to log in the morning first period and remain connected all day. Now as soon as my iPad goes dark I have to log back in.
Just now in the time it took me to score a small handful of assignments the app logged off. However the screen in the grade book didn’t change and I only found out after I entered the grades and then tried to save at which point I got a failed notice.
Please fix, the app on iPad use to be my main way to grade and now I hate using it.
Edit. Also can’t seem to save grades from the all assignment screen like I used to. Every time I get an infinite saving notification and I just close and re log into the app. Use to be the most useful all assignments page of all the platforms one doesn’t work

Help, Please!
I love the app, and have never had a problem with it. However, I am not able to open up student info anymore. I deleted and reinstalled the app onto my iPhone, but unfortunately that didn’t fix it. Could you do something on your end to get it to work again? Thank you.
App Crashes
The app itself was WONDERFUL & extremely helpful for me to keep track of attendance and student activities. HOWEVER, the other day the app crashed and will no longer let me open the app itself. I have tried deleting the app itself and redownloading it and it does not work. If this issue gets fixed, the app is great.

Works great
Does everything I need a phone app to do. I use the pc version for the heavy lifting
Can’t even log in
It keeps saying my credentials are invalid. When I use the same credentials on my laptop, no problems. Dumb app.
Not helpful
I don’t understand this app. Basically, it lets you access your class lists and maybe something else? But basically you can access some info on the go if that’s helpful to you… otherwise, you cannot enter grades or enter in assignments under gradebook or create rubrics for assignments…. Or create assessments. I’m sorry, but this app is basically useless and just takes up space. I wouldn’t download it. It’s honestly easier to just use a web browser.
I truly hope a developer for this app will decide to make it more functional. Teachers have busy jobs. It would be so nice to access most synergy functions from a mobile device….

Doesn’t open!
Used to work fine to take attendance but since about a month ago the app doesn’t launch. Please fix.
Cannot access- no google sso
Our district uses google sso for our teachers and students synergy accounts which means that unless there is a google sso sign on button/feature added to this app it is completely unusable as account’s cannot be accessed.
Let’s work
it’s smoother than I thought for taking attendance. Definitely has potential. All you need is to be able to take roll but still keep the simple design. I really like the quick incident report tab. Let’s talk.
More useless than a PD binder
Everything we need this app to do is missing, and it’s like they went out of their way to brainstorm every possible useless feature and built an app. It’s like they went to that one admin who tried teaching and completely tanked, so they demoted him to admin, and they asked him what they should put on this app. Sometimes I feel like we’re on a game show where they give us piles of garbage resources and watch us like one of those satanic obstacle course shows where contestants are hit with rubber balls on a rotating balance beam.

From King Jaqavius Therese third
It’s was a cold winter night in 2017 I was using this app and a bad omen appeard and struck lighting on my car don’t download
Please add an email option. Since you updated Synergy a year ago I am unable to directly reply back to students and parents easily. Causing a delay in my response to them. Signed frustrated
just useless
you really can’t do anything productive w this app. even the name is counterintuitive. just call it synergy fps!
Need access to grade book
As a PE teacher who is outside it would be nice to have access to the synergy grade book through the TeacherVUE mobile app.
Email won’t send
Emails have stop working. I can compose the message and save it as a draft, but it errors out if I try to send it. I can then go to my computer and send but that’s defeats using the app. (The opposite happens with ParentVue. I compose on the computer but need the app to send.)
Can’t get in since last “update”
Ever since you last updated the app, it won’t accept my district link.
Grading
It says you can enter/edit grades. You cannot.
Not useful at all
I would not recommend.
Constantly breaking app
This app is terrible. If you are lucky to get attendance to work, count your blessings. It will work for a limited time, but always breaks. Truly useless.
Useless
The synergy website says the app can do the same functions as the browser site (grades, attendance, create assignments, etc) but my app won’t do anything besides show me student information.
