While we don't verify specific claims because reviewers' opinions are their own, we may label reviews as "Verified" when we can confirm a business interaction took place. Read more

To protect platform integrity, every review on our platform—verified or not—is screened by our 24/7 automated software. This technology is designed to identify and remove content that breaches our guidelines, including reviews that are not based on a genuine experience.

A poor product with unreasonable contract conditions. Beware.

We have moved to a superior product which is favoured by our parents and easier to use. Without notice they put third party advertisements on our school communications. They also made no specific note of the subscription renewal conditions on the correspondence sent. Unless you provide written notice 30 days before renewal they will charge you for 12 months even if you have stopped using the product prior to the renewal date. To find out about this condition you have to read through 29 pages of conditions. We will never use this product again.

Sponsors looking like school suggestions

While the app works well for communication the use of ads coming through looking like they are being prompted by the school is concerning. I feel it needs to be clearer about the fact that it is an advertisement and not from the school.

Avoid using skoolbag app

The app is SO frustrating to use. Frequently logs you out, so you have to carry around your password or remember it just so you're ready to log back in when it decides to turf you out. Phone apps would be unusable if they all behaved this way. Also, school has advised that it's difficult for them to categorise messages, so everyone is just sent everything, meaning receipt of many irrelevant messages. Lobbying school to get rid of this app asap.
