SchoolMessenger

My district spent so much of our tax dollars for the use of this app and it’s ABSOLUTELY JUNK JUNK JUNK JUNK JUNK. DID YOU HEAR THAT THIEF OF A DEVELOPER, it’s JUNK! I have to use this app to communicate attendance changes for my children. It hasn’t worked yet. I enter my kids info, submit and get a message to try again later because the app isn’t working. So, I have to call all the schools and tell the staff, explain that the app isn’t working to which I hear “it doesn’t work for anyone” but from staff that are so annoyed because this app Is supposed to make their job easier. Then I have to write notes for excuse all the while my tax dollars are paying for the use of this app to NOT have to do all that. Absolutely ridiculous

The app is great aside from the fact that when I read a message the notification is still there and won’t go away. So the notification bubble stays there and message count keeps going up even though I’ve read them all. Driving me crazy.

The app is very useful, but the last few weeks, the push notification/badge won’t delete after a message has been read. Very annoying.

There needs to be a “Mark all as read” button for the notifications. Other than that, this is a pretty great app!

This started in mid-January and has persisted. Help please.

I am very frustrated with this app. I downloaded it so that the notifications for two hour delays and cancellations can be sent directly to my phone. I was getting tired of having my mom always have to tell me. I logged into the app pretty easily but then I looked at the phone number that it said that it would send the messages to, and it was my moms! This is frustrating to me because I want to be able to have the notifications on my Lock Screen so I can easily see if there is a delay or cancellation. Yes, I can still go into the app, but things still get sent to my moms phone number instead of mine. I don’t want to have to go into the app and go through all the messages every time that I want to see if there is a delay. I have already tried changing the phone number in contacts and in the profile but for some reason it doesn’t want me to change it! It’s weird because my mom has the app on her phone and I really hope that it doesn’t send her double notifications. I might have to delete the app if so. Please help!!!

As a school Data Manager and a parent, I highly recommend this app for school employees and parents. This app is wonderful and works extremely well. It is easy to read and use. It corrals all of the phone messages, SMS messages, and emails into one convenient location in chronological order. Missed a schoolwide phone blast? Phone messages are recordings in the app that you can listen to. Deleted a school SMS message and wish you had not? It's in the app. Can't find the schoolwide email from last week? It's in the app. Wrote a school event down on your paper calendar but you are out and about and need the details? It's in the app. Thank you, SchoolMessenger, for dropping all schoolwide messages in one place and making them easy to locate, read, store, and delete. All parents should have is app on their phone.

So useful! I am notified of EVERYTHING in my district - late buses, upcoming events, cancellations, school holidays, etc. This app is so convenient&easy to use, well-thought out, thorough. As any parent would want anything to be for/regarding their child! LoveLOVE this app!!!

I use to receive emails just fine with this. Everyone’s email is correct on it. First I stopped receiving emails and now my husband. The push notifications are garbage, the app constantly logs you out so you barely ever get any. The only thing working are the calls and sometimes it gives a silent call with no recording on the other end. The school blames this company, the company blames the school. Beyond frustrating, I highly advise schools stop using this, and use another application.

This is straight poo poo
