This includes everything from attendance records to exam results, reward and detention notifications, access to reports and assessments, teaching groups, timetables and more. The official iSAMS Parent app links directly with the iSAMS Parent Portal. It has been designed to offer parents a quick and easy channel for keeping up-to-date with their son or daughter’s performance and any relevant school information, including last minute calendar notifications or event invites. It is aimed at enhancing the information flow from your school/teachers to parents ensuring greater engagement between all parties. The iParent app offers parents a useful and configurable dashboard where they are able to view information and activities about all children at the school. Quick links are provided for: The timetable of each child Information about any sanctions and rewards School news and bulletins The school calendar The photo galleries More detailed information can then be located about the following: Teaching groups The school timetable Internal exam details (entries, timetables, results) External exam details (entries, timetables, arrangements, candidate details, results) School reports and assessments Attendance Activities Detentions Reward and conduct details Parents can use the app to view and subscribe to your school communications including emails, SMS messages and push notifications to the app. Push notifications will advise parents about any timely updates for each child, including information such as recently released reports or exam results, any rewards or detentions and pastoral records.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Louvre Abu Dhabi at 66% against iParent App's 13%. iParent App's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

iParent App holds the better App Store score, 4.3 against 4.1. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: iParent App has 817 ratings behind it against 48, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 13% of iParent App's written reviews are positive against 66% of Louvre Abu Dhabi's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

iParent App ships an update every 2 months, Louvre Abu Dhabi every 3 months. Both last shipped on October 21, 2026.
