Okay but missing features. Primarily used for parent communication/daily notes; it does that- to the bare minimum I found the inbox system to be extremely cumbersome. Sometimes to continue scrolling for messages, I would have to close out and reopen the app. This lead to me using my email to check messages, however there is no way to clear the notifications from the app in bulk. So while I’m caught up on parent communication, I have over 1000 notifications on the app, which can only be cleared by going through each message, which makes me close and reopen the app. Add some more user friendly features and this app can go from being just okay, to great

Ads Ads Reload Reload rerouted for another ad. The app would be great if the apps weren’t constantly popping up or rerouting you for the ad to an internet page! If it’s not the ads then you have to reload your page sometimes multiple times a day which they say is because they are “pushing out updates”. Going back to class DOJO next year!

Full of non-stop ads. If you ever sign up as a parent to receive notification from the teacher. Class tag would send you hundreds of ads from different advertisers. The worst part is that you can’t really manage the notifications. If you are sign up for your class only, they will still send you promotional emails. I works in the mobile app industry and I know this is poorly done.

5 star rating. I am giving this app 5 stars because it keeps me informed and involved with my child’s teacher and activities at school!

I wouldn’t use it if I didn’t have to. This app is what you get when a developer spends 90% of their time figuring out how to monetize an app, and 10% of their time making a usable app. I don’t understand the glowing reviews. Must be from a review farm or something. Every inch of this thing is filled with obtrusive ads. I get it, you need to make money. But when that is clearly done at the cost of any usability, you’re doing it wrong. Be careful you don’t accidentally tap somewhere when you’re trying to navigate, because you’ll be kicked out to one of their sponsors. Conveniently , the screenshots don’t show ANY of the ads you will be bombarded with inside this app. I only use this because my child’s teacher uses it. I would never choose this app/service voluntarily. Even the emails are awful. Do better. I have apps that find a balance between ads and usability. It is possible.

Amazing forum to connect with your child’s educators!. I love this app! It offers the opportunity to see what great things are young scholars are doing each day. I highly recommend this app.

Needs to be upgraded. This app, compared to the one we used last year, is absolutely awful. Heck, even stand alone without a comparison, it’s awful! It’s slow, glitchy, takes far too long to load up. Plus, we get notifications for stuff, go in to view it, and 99% of the time the posts don’t even exist on the app yet! I absolutely do not recommend this app! If you’re a teacher, please choose a different app to connect with your students guardians!!!

Communication is Key!. I Love being able to communicate with my child’s teacher most any time. It’s much more convenient on both ends, Instead of having to call and leave messages or interrupt class, she gets to the message when she has a chance instead of rushing on the phone bc it was in the middle of something important. Thank You ClassTag!

Awesome app. I love that with this I can keep in touch with the teachers and see photos of my kid and all of his activities that he’s doing .

Amazing app. This app is really amazing you can be in contact with your child's teacher and never miss anything.

If you like ads not related to your child…. I have received more emails about sponsored products than I have about my child's class that I apparently can’t opt out of even though I opt out of everything. This app is a burden. Will be deleting if it doesn’t get better. Spam emails are the worst and I’ve only had this app for a week. Using the apps free option and in no way would I ever want to subscribe for $4 a month just to not be bothered by ads. I can delete the app and get the same thing.

Fabulous App. As a teacher i absolutely love this app! It’s great for posting updates and sharing what we’re working on in class

Love it. Easy to navigate really user friendly My whole family was added to help me with my little ones!

Great communication tool. Makes communication between teacher and parent a simple process

Great Tool for parents and staff to communicate. A great way to stay up to date with the activities for your kids and also be engaged with the teachers. So far I love love love this app!!

Poor platform too many advertisements. The platform was shifted to this for this school year and this is by far the worst. I get emails with specifically only advertisements more than school updates. The general school announcement don’t is very small with advertisement being absurdly large. Not recommended app.

Too many ads. I like that this app allows for me to keep up with what’s going on in my son’s class, but there are way too many ads to close out to get to the content.

Bridge Elementary Charter School. I have been using app the whole time my child has been enrolled at Bridge Elementary. It’s nice to be able to get any and all the information from one app. I think most teachers are using this app so I don’t have to login to several different ones just to see what my child is doing or what events are coming up etc. Keep up the good work ClassTag!!! Michelle

5 Star Review. Great app really helps parents keep up with their children work at school. Easily accessible to parents and is a great way to communicate with teachers at any time parents feel the need. Greats App 5 Star Review

Helps me feel connected. Great way for me to stay connected with my sons teacher and find out the latest things going on at his school. Way different than when I was a kid! Thank you.

Raised $285 in less than 12 hours. Some of my kids cried!!. Love it love it love it, wish I’d known about it sooner. I have. Shared this with every tea her I know! $285 raised in less than 12 hours. Some of my students cried! ♥️

It’s okay. The app is decent. I can understand having advertisements in an app that is free but some of the advertisements are placed and worded as if they are requirements for the class. For example there was a Kleenex ad that said something like “Every kid needs Kleenex in class.” Then it had a link to purchase them. If you didn’t read it closely you would think it was a requirement from the teacher or school. I see a lot of those kinds of disingenuous ads that look organic to a teacher’s post. I feel it is very intentional and very deceptive.

Not App friendly. This app use to be better. Last year it was simple. This year they jacked it up with log-in social media linking and it signs me out after every use. I can’t “activate” my profile even when I click on “activate now”… The ads get in the way of important information the teachers are posting. I missed several cool posts about my child’s first day. Luckily I did some digging and found them after another parent asked if I had seen the first day of school pictures… And lastly there just aren’t enough parent options to filter through what is being sent to me notification-wise. Super not user friendly. Will be recommending a different app to future teachers. :/

Kindergarten class. Love how my sons teacher can send us private messages at any time of the day or leave a message for the whole class!

Absolutely HATE!. I would not use if the school didn’t force it. And I agree with another review. Welcome to a developer trying to monetize the heck out of an app. There are so many ads it’s infuriating to navigate. And if YOU want ad free then you have to pay. Screw you. I don’t want to use it anyways. Remind was/is such a better app. I hope no one pays and burns this app. Worthless. Update: worthless response from the developer. The school forces us to use it. Doesn’t pay for the ad free version. And then, the developer expects the parent to pay to remove ads. How about you quit being annoying and remove the bazillion ads. Or just keep a small banner at the bottom that stays out of the way.

Slow. I never write reviews. I hate using this app, after going from class dojo to this, I’m very spoiled. Only using because my child’s teacher is using it. This app is slow, and almost every time I open it, it tells me to reopen to update, but when I try to update, there is never an update. The other times I open the app, it automatically sends me to an outside website. I wish I could completely delete this app.

Don’t donate. Please do not donate to teachers using this app. It is better to either donate directly to the teacher or ask for something you could send with your kiddo. It is absolutely infuriating to see parents donate money only for it to be turned into coins and the supplies teachers have to pick from are outrageously overpriced. A three pack of disinfectant wipes for the equivalent of $19? Absurd.

Basic App with tons of ads. Screen for the unpaid tier is half full of ads. It also kicks you over to Safari to show an ad immediately upon launching this app. You might not have much choice if your child’s teacher uses ClassTag. But other apps do the same thing, but better.

The worst of many school apps so far. We’ve been through them all, or so it seems. This year it’s Class Tag. Be prepared for a million ads (or pay to remove them - hello school equity issues!), and a clunky interface that makes it difficult to navigate (comms with teacher vs app?!) Notifications pop up and then there’s nothing new in the app. I don’t need an entire section devoted to Walmart. Just a simple, streamlined way to send/receive messages & read announcements from teacher. Really wish my school had at switched.

Why I love class tag. It has my brcvpa teachers witch is very fun because they have this app that is fun for kids who need help with numbers,math,and science I love this app so much that I cant stop saying it,this helps us learn and all that stuff witch is possible to do and very fun for pre-k,1st grade,2nd grade,3rd grade+ helps with problems and mistakes that help you,and this is why I love class tag!

School message app. Pretty decent messaging app. Though unless you pay for it the adds are pretty intense but all in all it’s a good tool for communicating between school and home.

Fabulous for my middle school class!. This app has helped me to keep my information organized and easy to find for my parents! I found that this helps me to keep my parents informed and am easy to reach for any type of collaboration with parents!

A terrible, ad-infested, privacy horror show. This app is effectively a virus, at least given the breadth of use granted by the supposed privacy policy. Your data is harvested and combined with third party data sources to make you a lucrative advertising target. All so we can talk to our kids’ teachers. It’s ridiculous. And the subscription price is a laughable $50+ per year without any guarantee that the data collection will stop. I can’t offer suggestions to improve the app. The app makers will predictably claim that adware keeps the app free. I understand. But this app shouldn’t exist. We should be able to communicate with teachers without selling ourselves to advertisers.

Need less obstructive ads. The ads are obnoxious when it’s mostly just a web app. My opinion isn’t going to change this but if enough people complain, maybe. I do t mind paying to get rid of them but only if they are non-obstructive to begin with. As for the app features, it’s pretty good. One on one chats work great. Group chats and comments to posts work well.

I like it. The school I work at uses it school wide and I feel like it’s working just fine for us. I only use it to post important notifications to my classroom Parents or to private message them in regards to something about their children. My problem is that I’ve been using it for three years now and I have old messages from parents of previous students that I would like to delete. I have not found a way to delete them. Can you please create a way to delete old messages?

Worst app ever. This app is so glitchy and there are SO many ads. The pages bounce around while you’re trying to scroll and it freezes randomly. Half the time I have to open and kill the app 3-4 times because the app loads to an all white screen after spinning for a solid minute. My app is up to date and none of my other apps are this bouncy. It’s not my brand new phone it’s the app itself

Could use some user testing. The app could use user testing for functionality. Also the ads are very large and annoying.

I love the app but WAY TOO EXPENSIVE for a teacher. I’m really sad that they charge so much for this app. I actually think it’s a little ridiculous, especially when Remind and Class Dojo are free with minimal ads. I think the concept of this app is wonderful but no way worth $60 at a cough, “discounted rate”. . . their exact words. Go directly to Remind! Do not look back!!!

Helpful, but not intuitive to use. Nice way to communicate with parents. Seems like it could be more intuitive to navigate creating messages and choosing who will receive them.

Frustrated. I understand the need for ads when something is free but I can’t even use it. I currently can’t reply to a private message from my child’s teacher because there’s an ad covering where I am supposed to reply. The x doesn’t work to exit the ad. Really frustrating. I guess I’ll just send an email to reply.

Love the app!. 5 Stars for sure! Love all of the pictures and videos of the children! Great teachers doing great work with our young minds! Truly a blessing 🤗

Appreciation. It’s a wonderful application through which you can get to the teachers directly and know what’s going on in the classroom of your child.

Scam. It was filled with ads that covered up buttons and words. I said whatever and paid for premium. The ads never went away. My renewal date said invalid and I was never notified of an upcoming charge- overdrafted my account because they made it look as though automatic renewal wasn’t happening and didn’t even show any date. The school barely used this app they insisted they were going to. The entire experience was frustrating. It constantly begs you to donate money and supplies but also said lists weren’t verified by the teacher… bet they were going to not even get supplies to the teachers.

Classtag. Class tag helps me learn and it helps when I need to text my teacher about something

Like it, but…. I have had parents tell me that they do not really like Class Tag because the ads really bother them. A couple of parents who are also teachers even suggested I use a different platform for parent communication.

Ads are out of control!. I appreciate the desire to serve teachers and offer the platform for free. However, the content I get from ClassTag is 90% ads. The ad sits between title and the subject. In a recent email update it was little title, giant ad, little subject, giant ad again. When I view messages from the teacher, the message pane slides off screen because we need to scroll down to make room for ads. The advertising is done so poorly and over the top, I have no idea why I would pay for the product. It leaves me zero confidence they could deliver a good experience.

Great Ap. Love this app. It gives me access to contact my grandson’s teacher by private message. Always a great app to find out activities and events going on during the school year.

Easy to navigate. Love this app because it helps teachers and parents to be informed

Honestly Love It. I love ClassTag , it makes it so much easier to communicate w/ my sons teacher & get updates of him while at school.

Poor. Every time I use the app it asks me to verify email address. It hasn’t ever changed. And I’m not getting notifications from the app as my settings say I should. Parents and teachers both are missing out on important information since the app is working properly. Something has changed in the last year. Fix this app

Can’t login anymore. I’m having so much trouble login to this app, I’m kind of stuck in a loop where it says I have no account but I know I have one and it continuously ask me for a code (for some reason, you need a code just to sign up) that doesn’t work anyway. And if I don’t have an account, as the app tells me, why am I spammed with all those ads from Classtag in my mailbox then?

Love this app!. For the first time I am reaching EVERY single parent and in way less time than methods I’ve tried before - even the parents of my ELL students. Also, I can’t wait to start redeeming for the Rewards items! The selection of free items is amazing - just when I thought the app couldn’t get any better. Highly recommend.

Not a fan. I have had nothing but problems with this app. Half the time I can’t open it when the notification comes in indicating that the teacher has sent a message. It’s not very user friendly at all.

Too many ads. The ads are very distracting and sometimes make reading messages confusing.

School connection made easy. Like the ease of use

Too Slow.... The capabilities of the app are great but it takes too long to load. If I am switching from the home page to my inbox it takes way too long to acknowledge that I have clicked to see a different screen. If this could be fixed then ClassTag would be truly amazing

On it’s way.... To becoming amazing. It is much more complete than similar apps. One area that is keeping it from a 5* review is the time adjustment. When setting the time you can’t just enter it you have tap until it rolls around to the correct time.

Good, but.... I haven’t been able to open the app for quite some time. There are messages from my child’s teacher that I can’t read.

Can we get a feature to add a photo album?. Otherwise great

Needs better text messages. Soooo... we’ve been using REMIND app and what we love is the direct communication (no need to divert into the App, messages are received directly as texts. It’s a huge time saver!) I would give ClassTag 5 stars if they used the same, easy to access message approach. It takes SO much extra time to open click on the text notification, open the app, wait for it to open (its quite slow) go f the message box icon, click on it, find the unread message, click on it. Click on it again. Click on it again. Wait fir it to decide to open. Message opens. Finally get to read the message. I much prefer Remind for this. Or just a text message! What I like- unlike REMIND, you can better organize your class- ask for volunteers, plan activities, request task specific help. Also, this app will send out reminder messages for you to parents- do you don’t have to.

Full of ads and will spam your email. So many ads and emails. They forgot the purpose of their app

It’s ok could be better. I wish I could delete old conversations and classrooms. It works well to communicate with my parents. It can be slow sometimes. Wish it had a calendar.

Reloads constantly on iPhone. The Classtag program works great, however whenever I open the app on my phone, it constantly reloads so I can’t type any messages. Other than that, I have no issues.

Adsterra is the most preferred ad network for those looking for an alternative to AdSense. Adsterra is the ideal choice for new sites with low daily traffic. In order to advertise on the site in Adsterra, like other ad networks, a certain traffic limit, domain age, etc. is required. There are no strict rules. Sign up!

Good App. I love the purpose of the app and how easy it is to use. I do not love all the ads or the cost per month it would be to remove the ads.

Convenient and easy. Love this app is very user friendly

Awesome. Very user friendly!

Busy. While I believe the app has great features for teachers, it is much too busy for me as a parent. The ads are incredibly distracting and take away from the experience of communicating with my child's teacher.

Too much advertising. From all the apps teachers have used this is the MOST annoying one due to all the ads. I have no clue if there are any features because all I see are ads. 😝😝😝

Awful. I would give this negative stars if I could. You get ads in email from them daily in addition to the app being loaded with ads.

Ads, ads, ads. Teachers, please use another way to communicate besides this app. There are other, better options to communicate. The only reason I use this app is because it’s what my child’s teacher uses to communicate. The ads are intrusive and get in the way of using the app. To remove ads, the developer wants you to have a subscription. The aesthetic is clunky, and even if the ads were removed, it would still be clunky. Navigation is not to my standards.

ClassTag. What’s a good app to stay in for with your child’s class.

Not user friendly. The app is difficult to navigate.

Sketchy. I love seeing all the activities the kids do, but much of the time I can't share or download.

I love ClassTag!. I love ClassTag it’s the most effective way to communicate with my child’s teachers and it’s easy to use!

ClassTag. I definitely preferred the name ClassTag. It’s easier to refer to and stands out more to know what teachers are talking about. Also I’m always having to close and reopen to reload posts.

Amazing!. ClassTag has helped me organize all my classes And help me contact my teachers thank you ClassTag!☺️👋

Great App. This is a good way to keep in touch with the school.

Too many ads. Very annoying ad placement and the ads are EVERYWHERE. It’s hard to see messages from teachers because it in between huge ads. I wish my teacher would use ClassDojo. Much better layout and let’s my kid see the what her teacher posts in a kid friendly feed.

It’s helpful for the teacher.. Thank you

Adds. Would be much better if it wasn’t flooded with adds and so expensive to remove them. App is functional and is pretty easy to use

Too many ads. Great app too many ads on the free version

Too many ads and useless emails. Our daycare switch from Remind to this App. It is terrible and I would recommend against it. Filled with ads (unless you pay them for a membership) and I get useless junk e-mail from them. Would absolutely not recommend.

It’s okay too many ads. Too many ads but it gets the job done

Awful. Awful school app! You have to pay to have no ads. Filing up my email with junk. I don’t understand why anyone would chose to use this.

Great way to communicate!. I like the options.

Feedback. Great apps helps allot to connect with the teacher of my daughter

Highly recommend. Great tool for parents and teachers to communicate!

Ads?!. Don’t like being bombsrded by ads and non-school information. Slow. Clunky and not intuitive.

Great Response. Honest people with the best intentions of resolving issues. Great job & thanks for taking care of us in a very reasonable amount of time.

Easy to use!. So easy to reach parents with chats and announcements.

Too many ads. My wife is a teacher and prefers Class dojo. This app is not user friendly, as a parent all I see is ads and not what I need to see. Class dojo is so much better. Ad free as it should be.

Great. Love the use of this for teachers and parents

Great app. Great app for keeping up with what your child is doing in school. Very helpful

Terrible. This app is so hard to navigate and has so many ads. It’s been awful to use and just clogs up my email with junk every time someone comments!

Love being able to communicate with the teacher. Great app!

Teacher to parent messages. Great commmunication and quick replies

Great app. I appreciate the communications from teachers and easy to use app

Stay away. If I could give it 0 stars I would. Consistently says I’m not authorized to view a page/class I was specifically invited to. One teacher couldn’t use it at all because of all the glitches and returned to another app. This is terrible.

Adds are frustrating. I only use this app because it’s the one my sons teach chose. 3 kids in school, 3 different apps for communication…. This one the add content is irritating.

Fantastic. Been using ClassTag for 2 1/2 years now! Absolutely love it !

Communication. I think it’s great to keep us parents informed. Thank you!!!

Ads ads ads ads. The ads are so intrusive it makes a the app nearly impossible to use. I have complained to the school for switching from class dojo. I hope they drop this app and go back to dojo.

Great app. Great way to keep in touch with teachers!

Amazing app. It’s so much better than email. Enough said.

Kinship/Guardian. Love that the school is using this app. Easy to use and I love the connection with the teacher.

Great so far. Glad to have it

The ads are RIDICULOUS!!!!. Takes forever to load up and I’m so ready to be done with this app. The ads are everywhere. All I want to do is read the messages from the teacher and I have to bypass a zillion ads to see the messages. Pop ups everywhere.

Not the most user friendly. Not the most user friendly. Seems to need a better workflow.

Great App. Very convenient and great way to stay in touch with your kids teachers. I can direct msg her if I have a question 👍🏼👍🏼 I love it!

ClassTag. It’s nice to be able to connect with the teacher but the app itself is just all over the place.

Love the app. Love the app only criticism is I can’t download pictures in direct messages

Classtag. Wonderful app! It’s so easy to contact teachers with questions and concerns.

Amazing school app. This school app is a whole lot easier! I love it ! ❤️
