Digistorm Apps

A great app for school communication and integration

Comments: We contacted Digistorm with a last minute request to get our app ready within weeks for the new school year. They were happy to oblige and presented a very professional, customised, on-brand and functional app very quickly. A highlight of the platform for me has been Digistorm's ability to take calendar information from our school information system and integrate it not only with our app, but our website and Outlook/iCal too. They have also been fast to implement a new feature from our school information system, now allowing parents to submit student absences from the Digistorm app straight into our SIS.

Pros:

* Integration with our school information system * Ability to use standard protocols like iCal and RSS * Highly customised to our brand * Fast initial setup * Responsive to adding additional features * Happy to make the many changes we are constantly asking for

Cons:

* Can be slow to fix some minor bugs * App doesn't work when offline

Finally a product that understands K-12!

Comments: From implementation through to go-live the experience with eduAPP was seamless. Dedicated project staff, designers and support staff meant that we were kept up-to-date every step of the way. The tech jargon was gone and real speak occurred during every session. Nothing was a problem, they actually listen and the rollout was a success.

Pros:

The parent user experience was beyond expectations but then we saw the back-end and wow; they even thought about our admin users! So often products neglect the actual people doing the work but not eduAPP. The back end is simple to use and easy to navigate making the front end user experience a breeze.

Cons:

Not much to be honest, the little bumps along the way were smoothed out before go-live and any bespoke requests were either handled through the development phase or scheduled for future versions. This company are young, dynamic and agile and continue to challenge the product, which I love!

Digistorm Education App

Comments: Works well as a single source of truth for school to parent communication

Pros:

Provides a personalised and user-friendly communications tool for schools to parents

Cons:

There is nothing significant to report as a 'con'

Great software. Great company. Great people.

Comments: We had particularly complex requirements for our implementation, which Digistorm did not flinch at and have not skipped a beat during the entire process. EduApp has revolutionised the way the school communicates with our parent community.

Pros:

The ability to integrate with any system we threw at it. The ease of use for administrators and end-users. The flexibility of the platform, company and staff. Great value for money.

Cons:

I genuinely can't think of any. It's been a positive experience all the way through.

Love our Digistorm app and their customer service!

Pros:

Our previous school app was done on DIY software that frequently had user issues. When we switched to Digistorm about a year ago, the process was very smooth and the finished app is everything we hoped for (and more!). The new app that Digistorm created for our school is well organized, easy to use, and looks great. The customer service is also exceptional. Not only did they guide us through the entire process from planning the app layout and function through development, but they also helped us successfully launch the new app with our community. I highly recommend Digistorm!! The Digistorm app gives us an extra means of communication with our community (the push notification function is great!) and it also serves as a quick one-stop-shop for accessing the most important things to our community members (i.e. calendar, bell schedule, news, important links, and more).

Cons:

There is nothing I don't like about this software.

Best app...

Comments: Easy quick communication to parents, guardians and extended family members about school activities, events and messages.

Pros:

Functionality, ease of use. Cost effiective.

Cons:

Nothing. The software works extremely well.
