ManageBac Reviews

First ManageBac is hard to navigate, as said by many. Second it’s is laggy and often doesn’t save work. I have to finish my writings on a document then transfer it to this app. Simply ManageBac isn’t trusted to save your work. Wonder why school chose ManageBac when there are many better ones… even google classroom is better, at least it saves your work.

Okay, I get it, it’s an IB system and whatever, but it is so much worse and finicky than google classroom. It won’t upload work half the time, you can never find your grades and not to mention when it just logs you out of ManageBac . It is impossible to navigate for me, an 18 yr old. But those kids in 6th grade are probably failing school because of ManageBac. For goodness sake, use any other learning app for the sake of the students. Google classroom is much better.

If a developer can answer me here, it won’t let me upload a file. It just doesn’t show up. Help me.

Mobile version only good for submitting things only saved onto your phone.
UI on app looks like it came from web version, and you can’t click on certain buttons, unless you force scroll and use 2 hands, which is just really annoying and frustrating.

ManageBac literally stops working for hours everyday, the layout is terrible, stuff is extremely hard to find, it glitches constantly, and it’s just an overall nightmare to use.
Whoever is responsible for developing ManageBac needs to seriously reconsider their life choices because this is obviously not cut out for them.

Not all features available on mobile app. Mail or notifications are very complicated to handle. Should be as any other mail app. As a parent you can’t see grades easily, you have to go class by class, assignment by assignment. Won’t allow you to filter tasks by pending or upcoming so again, you have to go class by class.

ManageBac literally strives off of “fixing something that was never broken”. There is ZERO reason why ManageBac needs a complete overhaul every 2 months. ZERO. It just ends up confusing everyone. Just stop updating ManageBac for 2 seconds PLEASE. Literally spent 20 minutes trying to find a file only to realize that this app changed the location to a new “resource” tab like what is a resource tab huh??????

These are non-existent, and would help the most with reflections instead of requiring me to use a computer and sit down and write a reflection, I can instead write a reflection the moment I am done with the activity via my phone. These alone would aid with Full IB students wanting to improve their productivity with reflections within this app, and would improve ManageBac ’s rating significantly.

Missing many features, such as the Turnit In Similarity Index, that are present in the desktop version. Also hard to navigate, and constantly glitchy and slow to load. “Save Login” doesn’t work half of the time.

Manage bac is so annoying and if we have a better app it will be so much better so we can use it easily and manage bac me as a user it’s so hard to use it I used to be (PYP) and (CLASS DOJO) was so much easier than manage bac so I beg this person who reads this please please if u can change ManageBac please like for next year cuz the year is almost finished so yea thank you

im sorry i just hate this program. i use ManageBac for school and its extremely annoying. its not very user friendly especially for me as a student. it wouldn’t let me move the calendar to check what homework i have due next week. the tabs around the interface are very confusing and i just don’t like it. im sorry.

After I read a note the notifications are still there. I’ve tried everything to get them to go away but nothing seems to work. This must be a bug. Please fix!!

Half of everything you click on is not up-to-date because people don’t input things regularly. Consequently, there are mostly useless links filled with data that is incomplete or old.

I think this app is generally a good platform as far as the basic necessities go, but unlike a platform like google classroom, or even skyward, the user interface is very boring and unappealing.

Its very all over the place and not very user friendly, im used to it now, but when i first switched from Google Classroom to this app it was very hard to tell where to go and what certain tabs did, and going back to my point about it being unappealing, everything is too small and there is too much on the screen, making it both overwhelming and underwhelming at the same time, which doesn’t help the non-user-friendliness.

I hope my review has been an indicator for some of the fundamental problems of this app.

Hi developers, I noticed in the latest update that there is not an option to scan your coursework, maybe it is a glitch or maybe it was purposely removed, but it was a very convenient built-in feature, I would like it to be included in the next update, thank you.

It’s kind of hard to find out where stuff is, it would be nice if there was a drop down menu on the left still like there used to be,(not asking for them to change everything back) I’d like to be able to just have a menu that tells me where everything is

I think the overall app is really cleanly designed, and if I ever forget what class I have its really useful, although when I open ManageBac after closing it it says “unable to verify session”, and the retry button does not work, but when I fully close ManageBac it works, so it’s just a minor inconvenience. The other small complaint I have is the colors for the timetable is really weird like a light grey and it looks really ugly, so maybe add some more color customization.

I think ManageBac is very helpful at school, hope all schools start using ManageBac, keeps track of lots of data, doesn’t take up much space too.

I use ManageBac everyday for school and I must say, I love it! It’s so convenient and easy to view upcoming tasks on ManageBac . On top of that, teachers can upload documents and other resources for you to use to study for upcoming tests, or, just practice.

ManageBac is really nice. I am an 𝙸𝙱 student and I know what I am saying. It has been helping a lot and reduces a lot of stress. Everything you can think about learning is in ManageBac. You submit your assignments on it easily. It is only slow if you do not have a stable internet connection.

This is perfect for me! At my school, we use this on a regular basis- and it exceeds our expectations! Do continue to update it, as it is wonderful!
