Super easy to set up and use
One of the most frequently praised features? The simplicity. From day one, parents described the app as intuitive, straightforward, and user-friendly. Even less tech-savvy users found it quick to get started.
Whether logging in or switching between multiple school profiles, the experience is smooth and stress-free.
“Clear instructions made setup easy.”
“So easy to use and navigate.”
“Much more user-friendly in the app.”
Over 80% of parents rated the login and setup process 10 out of 10.
Everything you need, right where you need it
The app’s clean, organised layout puts key information at parents’ fingertips — from timetables and forms to term dates, sports fixtures and school reports. No more hunting through multiple platforms or emails.
Parents repeatedly mentioned how much easier it is to find what matters, helping them stay more connected with their child’s education.
“Found the layout a lot more clear and easier to follow than the website.”
“Menus are clear – once you’ve found the section, it’s simple to access everything.”
“User-friendly design for iPhone – love it.”
Real-time notifications keep parents in the loop
With push notifications for messages, updates, and reminders, parents feel confidently informed — without having to constantly check in. This feature supports proactive involvement in school life, while reducing missed communications. One parent described notifications as a “10/10 experience”, calling them “essential.”
“Notification alerts are very helpful and timely.”
“It’s great that I don’t miss anything now.”
Integrated calendar and smart scheduling
The app’s integrated calendar brings everything together in one place — from sports fixtures and parents’ evenings to school trips and holidays.
Parents reported fewer missed events and a better overall grasp of their child’s daily and term schedules.
“Everything I need is in one place – school dates, sports fixtures, forms.”
It’s a small change with a big impact: better planning, reduced confusion, and more involvement in school life.
