Engage School

This school app is rubbish, confusing and quite limited in what it does. It does not work on mobile devices. My daughters’ school is currently looking to shift away from this as it has not worked. Parents (like me) are frustrated and hate using it. I have heard that Barker (Hornsby) is taking legal action against the developers for failing to live up to their promises. Can’t wait until I no longer have to use it.

It’s very bad app , very slow, can’t delete lots of emails easily, I need to open every single email and then delete it. Very poor app needs lots of work to improve.

The mobile app is slow and lacks functionality, my biggest annoyance is dealing with the emails, why can’t I mark as read on mass? Many functions then direct you to the web site which in not optimised for mobile. Again handling emails is a pain. Making holiday clubs bookings is equally painful. Even using my PC dragging each option across is annoying, not being able to see which days have what without having to click through, which takes too long.

Utter useless; slow and relying on the companies website rather than being mobile or app optimised. Repeated error code (E09) when trying to launch the app, impossible to find how to fix or contact for support via the app as it is stuck on the login page. If I could give a minus rating I would. Why would schools bother paying for this junk? A carrier pigeon would be an upgrade.

This app does not notify you of new messages despite all push notifications being enabled. Ridiculous considering that is it’s sole purpose.

Just downloaded the latest version that suggested there were performance improvements. The app remains the slowest app I use - second slowest is the Engage website!

This App is awful!! No way to reset your password. Have no idea why any school would use it.

This app is terrible. It is goes through to the website which is not mobile enabled so you can’t read it or action things easily. There is a lot of room for improvement for the user experience.
