## SchoolMessenger Reviews in United States

### ***** "Great"
I love this app
-- Electra Allen, 2025-01-04

### *---- "School district"
The app (& website) has no way for me to change school districts. I tried deleting the app & reinstalling, but it just has me back in the same old school district. Very frustrating.
-- Br1xxney, 2024-11-15

### ***** "Best app"
Best app for reporting school absences. Navigate easily and works very well.
-- Sunshine flowers and sky, 2024-11-13

### ***** "Ease of use"
App works extremely well. It is a great tool to have all communications in one place and at your finger tips. We find it very helpful
-- PatRang, 2024-10-16

### **--- "Notification Barges stay"
Major problems with notification badges not going away after reading messages.
-- Playingit123456789, 2024-09-18

### *---- "Junk app, no stars"
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
-- MonicaM82, 2024-05-08

### **--- "Notifications"
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.
-- ChelseaLovesCereal, 2024-04-24

### **--- "Helpful, but needs an update!"
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.
-- Pastry Goddess, 2024-04-10

### ****- "My ONLY complaint"
There needs to be a “Mark all as read” button for the notifications. Other than that, this is a pretty great app!
-- KnittyKatt, 2024-02-28

### ***** "Suddenly Messages are no longer marked as read?"
This started in mid-January and has persisted.
Help please.
-- BillyMac18, 2024-02-12

### *---- "DIFFERENT PHONE NUMBER??!!"
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!!!
-- changethenumber, 2024-01-17

### *---- "Awful"
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.
-- GummyJelly, 2023-10-26

### *---- "🗑️"
This is straight poo poo
-- ethan%1000000000#, 2023-10-25

### *---- "Horrible App"
This app is beyond awful. Our district started using it this year and it has been nothing but a nightmare to use. It’s slow, kicks me off repeatedly, doesn’t even allow me to message my children’s teachers, and always shows I have messages even when I don’t. I’ll just be using good old fashioned email to communicate with my children’s teachers from now on because this app is a joke!
-- afelsberg, 2023-09-10

### *---- "Verification email"
I can’t get an email sent to even start my verification?!
-- SueC23, 2023-08-09

### ***** "The best app I ever use"
Love this app very reliable, and very informative.
-- Zdgjvfs, 2023-08-08

### *---- "I can’t log in and your email never been delivered"
I have an account but your email never been delivered. I have a trouble communicating with my kids school. Please help.
-- Foominish, 2023-07-31

### ***** "Alain Barrera"
Excellent application to communicate with teachers and school in general, my daughter comes from a country where we do not have these privileges, congratulations to everyone in general
-- Alainbarrera, 2023-05-10

### ***** "This app is awesome"
I have had this app since 2020. My school sends me events that is happening the next day and the day after that.
-- Aaron M. Deason, 2023-04-24

### **--- "Poor sign up process"
Who thought it was a good idea to have the password field on the iPhone use “scan” instead of “paste”? Terrible for people using password managers. And no 2nd password field to make sure you typed it right? Terrible for people NOT using password managers. And for some reason it doesn’t recognize the email address that the school uses to send me email every single day.
