TeacherEase - Parents/Students

I didn’t think this app could get worse but it has. It never stays logged in. So any communication through this app that is supposed to come from the school, teacher, or any other school staff doesn’t get any type of notification so it may be months before there’s any information, if at all. And there’s no way to download any information from the app to get the necessary information from this app. Such things as grades, missing assignments, etc. these such things cannot be downloaded for better accessibility, especially when there are parents who live in an area with poor access to internet services.

This app works fine for sharing grades but the email function works terribly. Longer length emails come through to Apple Mail on iOS so small as to be unreadable - which ends up meaning that many families don’t read them at all. Formatting is also typically a mess, such that you often have scroll horizontally to read text or view charts. And sending emails to school directly through the app is clunky. E.g., you can only send them to one teacher/admin at a time. Our school has two teachers per classroom, so that doesn’t work well.

The app is not bad at all. Gives updates and send notifications when work is missing. How up to date it is, well that’s dependent on the teacher and how quick they are to update grades. You can tell some teachers do it fast other takes weeks. But that’s not the apps fault. Has the ability to communicate with teachers by sending them emails directly. Can pay fees or add money for lunch for your child. Do registrations and pretty much anything in between. I have enjoyed the use of the app myself. Just have to learn to use it.
