ChatPro vs Evisense (UK)

ChatPro is a secure messaging app for schools and youth groups. Your school or youth group should contact us to create a ChatPro network. Then all members of your school/group can download the ChatPro app and use it to communicate together.

The latest version of Evisense is a complete rebuild from the ground up. We have added over 50 new features to make Evisense even more powerful and more will follow. Evisense is now more than just an evidence system, it is now a school-parent communication hub with more than 15 different post types. These include evidence, home school diary, reading diary, wow moments, pupil voice and class blogs. For those who have used Evisense before, here are the BIG new features: - Improved performance - Easier to use interface - Use multiple photos and videos in a post, you are no longer limited to 1 photo or video. - Photo blurring so that you can blur out faces of children in the background - Camera roll access in the Evisense app These are the most requested new features, but there are so many more! If you have never used Evisense before, or you used it previously. There is lots here to make Evisense work for your school, to help show progress, evidence achievements and share all of this and more with parents. Check out the Evisense support site to find all our training and support resources including a FREE online, self-paced training course for school staff. This app requires an active Evisense subscription.
