Awful
By Devin <3 (Pcmac user)
This app has so many issues. It’s irritating that my school district chose it as our means of communication with parents.
1. It’s cute that parents can ❤️ a message but there is no way to find out who it is that liked it.
2. I can only send one picture at a time and half the parents can’t download it.
3. When I send out a group message and a parent comments, I can’t comment back to them directly. The whole group can see my message. It makes me look dumb. Instead I have to go back try and find that parent and remember what they asked and respond separately.
There definitely has to be a better way to do all this. Too many bugs to list. It is awful. 😡 I hope they can fix all this or my district can find an app that is easy, convenient, and actually WORKS!

So disappointed
By Steens2 (Pcmac user)
After getting my colleagues and classroom parents all pumped up about using this app, I could not be more disappointed with the outcome. Currently, my school has the largest amount of participants signed on district-wide (85%). All I keep hearing is that School Messenger is ineffective. When I’ve asked why, here’s what I’ve heard:
1. It’s super laggy (slow).
2. It won’t allow me to post pictures/files.
3. It’s slow to load.
4. The font is really small with no ability to enlarge font size.
5. It only orients portrait on my iOS devices. (A landscape option would be nice).
6. My parents are complaining of not receiving my messages.
7. My parents are complaining of having text messages forwarded to inactive landlines. When they’ve attempted to update the account with current phone numbers, the app won’t allow them to.
8. Another parent complained of receiving messages in a language not spoken at home.
All in all, the parents and staff at my school are preferring to use Remind or Class Dojo over School Messenger. If things don’t change fast, you’re going to lose your clientele.

SchoolMessenger Info Center
By 4Schlteacher (Pcmac user)
I just downloaded this App. Had hoped for a little more within the App. Example: We use School Messenger at the school I work for, my kid's school also uses School Messenger. The email addresses in those systems are not the same. It appears as if you have to log out of one account (email address) and then log in as another account (different email address). The ability to kink multiple email address or school systems to a single account would make the App easier to use.
It is new, so I expect this will be a common suggestion and change in a future version.

Will this app ever get fixed?
By Enrique626 (Pcmac user)
This is going to be the 2nd year that my school site uses this website/app. Last year, parents and students were not really able to join the groups. I was literally with parents, making sure they used the same email that the school had on file for them.
This app is great, as far as receiving mass messages from admin. But everything else, communicating with parents/students doesn’t work. This is why practically all the teachers at our site stopped using this. Hopefully it’s fixed for this upcoming school year. But by looking at their update history, it seems highly unlikely.
