Transparent Classroom Reviews

It is sad that TransparentClassroom is what our schools is using (I guess there are no alternatives?). TransparentClassroom does not even let you see all updates the teacher shares. Generally have to go online to see any daily tracking and notes from the teachers. The teachers also seem to have issues uploading pictures and other updates as well. After a week of use I am deeply disappointed in the way I receive updated about my child.

I am a Montessori Teacher. I want to use TransparentClassroom on my iPad and have access to the Progress and plan tabs, to the conference reports we create for our students, and to the lessons I plan. I want to be able to jot down notes, etc. BUT NONE OF THIS IS AVAILABLE!
I only have access to
HOME, ACTIVITY, PHOTOS AND ABOUT.
The Progress and Plan tabs as well as the Children Tabs are the most important. Please update so I can use it.

Logging on was fine, but when I navigated to the home page, it turned into a blank white screen with the ongoing loading symbol.

On a separate note, I generally have had quick feedback from TC when I have a question, but it’s taking forever (2+ years) for them to release new features that many teachers and administrators have been requesting.

Although I checked the box to hide my cell phone and address, when I looked at the ‘Parents’ tab, there it was on full display. Along with the other parents who recorded their address and cell phones. I know they weren’t there when I initially signed up and the box to ‘hide’ was still checked so this happened sometime during the school year.

I currently have the older version of TransparentClassroom on my phone and have just downloaded the new one. What was the point of the newer version of an app when you can’t upload any photos with it? The website says you can but only on the older version? A redundant waste of time and resources IMO.

I’m very disappointed in the update for TransparentClassroom . I much preferred the previous version - and even it was severely lacking. Uploading photos is now clunky, frustrating, and time-consuming. I love the capability when working on the laptop, but that is not always ideal. I love Transparent Classroom- I hope there can be some fixes to TransparentClassroom .

TransparentClassroom is awful. I can sign in online, but it will not accept the same information on TransparentClassroom . Then I chose to hide my information and there it is in full display. I can’t believe that with these terrible reviews schools continue to use this. Awful.

Pointless

I wanted to have the convenience of an app to check my kids school progress but I was only able to somehow find the correct page once and haven’t found it since. The functionality is very limited and if more things were readily accessible and visible I wouldn’t have any issues with TransparentClassroom.

Not sure why it would be challenging to add daily tracking but without it TransparentClassroom is mostly useless.
