## Red Rover K12 Reviews in United States

### ***** "State the grade level and teacher"
Many times jobs are posted for teacher assignments but NO GRADE LEVEL OR TEACHER..
I can’t accept a job without that information!
Please include more detailed info when asking for sub
-- BLBarb, 2024-12-20

### *---- "Good app…when it works."
The recent complaints about loosing out on job opportunities through the app appear legit.  Watching RedRover on my PC, I’ve found that some jobs are available upwards of 8 - 10 minutes before the app alerts me.  I’ve seen some jobs appear on PC and disappear several minutes later and never get an alert on the app.  My experience is that the app works sporadically but I know that I’m loosing out on opportunities because of how it seems to work.
-- Faron V, 2024-12-11

### **--- "Somehow worse than Frontline"
Notifications are inconsistent. This app is slow and clunky. I thought Frontline was inadequate until using Red Rover.
-- Larry______, 2024-12-08

### *---- "Sounds for jobs, etc"
The notification sounds are very bad, not loud enough and only do 3 repetitions.  Obviously the techies that designed them have never been a classroom of 20 -33 students or they would know things can get very noisy in the classroom.  Also, their main competitor, Jobulator, allows you to use the calendar to block individual days on their calendar. Again the developers of Red Rover have never subbed because your weekly calendar changes every week and you can&#039;t predict which days will have jobs on what date.  Subbing varies each week if you are open.   Unlike Jobulator, you can&#039;t opt out of the days you want to work on  their calendar, they just ASSUME you have a standard schedule.  This is a sub par App.  I do mot like it and feel I am losing jobs because of the way it is structured.
-- Tandiwe, 2024-11-25

### *---- "Only Able to Snag One Job This School Year on App"
Ridiculous! Notifications are not at all timely. I have gone on the actual website, shows no jobs available (largest school district in the state) shows no filters applied. I then click on filters button and voila, a list of jobs pops up.  Maybe only a couple which is quite odd for a district of 6000 teachers. Sometimes there are my preferred schools too.  On my app ? Shows nothing available. 
Maybe, just maybe I’ll get a notification on my iOS phone/ watch.  Click on phone to see, nope already gone. Now I’m a certified teacher who was on contract for 20 years with this district. We always had smart find express which was efficient and effective as a teacher requesting a suband also working as a sub. Last year after retiring I subbed. Had job calls every single day and first dibs since I was high on the preferred list being a certified teacher. Also on SMF could specify not only the schools but the content, grade level, etc. Not so on this program. Also, this year rarely get a notification and when I do it’s gone in bleeping nanoseconds.
-- EAbbey, 2024-11-23

### *---- "Assignments"
As soon as an offer comes up, I’m not able to accept it as it says Offer is no longer available literally right after me receiving the notification!
-- Sosasanta, 2024-11-18

### *---- "It would be great if it worked"
I keep getting nothing but a loading screen of blank info. It sometimes takes several minutes for this to load. 

To top it all off I can never get jobs with how fast things get snapped up, even before I can get the app open. Notifications are a joke, I miss 99% of them because it’s only on my Lock Screen. I would absolutely go back to the older clunky system the school was using compared to this.
-- MommyMuses, 2024-11-17

### ***** "Sub"
It’s easy to accept the assignment you want. Red Rover is user friendly. Yea!
-- Saradinee, 2024-11-13

### *---- "A hot mess of an app."
This app is one of the most frustrating I have ever used. My two major issues:
1.  I selected my two favorite schools as I only want to get notifications on available jobs from my favorites. I still receive notifications from the entire district. I end up having to filter by favorites and then of notifications because I get too many now. I feel like this has been happening since this school year started. 
2. Calendar integration when sharing a calendar with the family is a mess. Other members get an average on 20 notifications of additions and deletions whenever checking the schedule on the app and when jobs are accepted. 
Both of the issues listed are known issues from other reviews I have read. I would really like to see a sense of urgency to fix the issues from the developers. Looking forward to a fix soon.
-- Clmitchell28, 2024-11-13

### *---- "Never Works"
Used to work great and was user friendly. Now I can never login. Keeps spinning me back to log in again.
