Thrillshare

You have to have a google acct or a microsoft acct to sign up. Why?

This app is not user friendly. I hate having to give a description for pictures. You are limited to 10 pictures, can’t upload videos, and I wish you could allow parents to comment on post. Not a fan at all.

We switched to this and I hit the notification settings and the app just shuts down. I can’t view anything. Not sure what the benefit is versus canvas that rarely has these issues.

The app is amazing and is easy to use at events or when you need to get a quick message out. An update that would useful would accessing images and helping with conversion to instagram. Phone call are better done on the app. Social media and written communication is way easier on the computer. I appreciate the work you all do.

The app is very easy to post updates from, but the ability to send Alert messages would make a wonderful addition. Customer support is always very helpful (thanks Elvie!).

Works great when on the go posts are a necessity for our school system.

My kids school uses this app and it won’t allow me to even create an account. Literally no matter what I do

Once upon a time, there was a school district that relied heavily on the Thrillshare app to communicate with parents and students. One day, the app started crashing every time a message was opened. The school district’s IT team tried everything they could think of to fix the issue, but nothing seemed to work. Parents and students were frustrated and communication between the school district and the community came to a standstill. As the days went by, the situation only got worse. The school district’s reputation began to suffer as parents and students became more and more dissatisfied with the lack of communication. The IT team worked around the clock to try to fix the issue, but it seemed like an impossible task. Unfortunately, the app was never fixed and communication between the school district and the community broke down completely. Parents and students were left in the dark about important events and announcements, and the school district’s reputation was irreparably damaged. The district was eventually forced to shut down due to a lack of enrollment, and the community was left without a school system.

We have been using Thrillshare in our school district for several years now. Thrillshare has saved us more time and hassle than I can even explain. It’s simplistic layout and design allows our team to focus on content. Having the ability to post news, photos, updates, etc. to all our socials at the same time is a game changer. We have recently set our teachers up as “moderated users,” (teacher access to post content) and this has enabled us to provide more content from the classroom than ever before. The new “Rooms” feature has streamlined all our teacher/parent communication issues. No more downloading multiple communication apps dependent on what your current teacher likes to use. “Rooms” has provided us the opportunity as a district to direct people back to our app, and our website. The new “Behavior” feature is being implemented in our entire K-6th Grade. The kids LOVE the ability to keep up with their behavior points and turn them in for cool rewards. Thrillshare has turned into the one stop shop for our district to accomplish so many of our needs. Their ability to provide updates that provide value will keep us using Thrillshare for the long haul. You’re missing out if you don’t give this app a chance!

I’m an elementary teacher and my district pushed this communication app for us to use. It’s not the best. I get that it’s still fairly new and bugs will happen. But it really does make it inconvenient and frustrating when communications from both teacher and parents’ end does get through. In elementary we also like to be cute and celebratory. Comparing it to ClassDojo, this app is just plain boring and have a very “corporate” feel.
