Schoology Reviews

by Koj222

Schoology and the website itself are terrible in terms of interaction and, well, pretty much everything. The website and app can not handle more than 20 people on it without the website running tremendously slow, thus causing problems with online classes, such as not being able to do assignments, turn in work, submitting answers, etc. Not to mention the headache of just looking at the website. If you are a teacher at a school, wondering if you should use this for your class, DO NOT. The interface is not user friendly, and is clustered with random things when in reality students will not spend much time on this website at all, if any. And when they do, they are only in maybe two tabs, the courses dashboard, and recent activity tab. You’d think it could do at least one thing right, like sending out notifications that your teachers have sent a message, or something along those lines. Nope. Often times it does not send notifications at all, causing confusion, and when it does, it tends to do it 5-10 minutes after the message was originally sent. All in all, if I worked at Apple and could remove this from Schoology Store, I would.

My teacher assigned me this at the start of this school year and it’s to say the least, terrible. Last year we used google classroom and everything was so easily accessible and you could see anything, and it would be displayed in a simple and understandable manner. this app on the other hand is a true hassle. If you submit an assignment it still displays it in your To Do list so it’s always confusing and hard to know whether I turned something in or not. Submitting assignments is so annoying and arguous as well. It always requires you to submit something online even if the assignment is done and turned in by hand. It should allow you to submit an assignment whether or not you have a document uploaded, not all assignments are done online. Also, to upload a document you have to go through so much work, on google classroom you would just have to choose whether it was a doc or another type of file, on this you have to go through several screens just to access google drive. In conclusion, the design is terrible. It’s so hard to access and upload documents, and it’s not very versatile, the only type of assignments you can somewhat submit with it is something from google docs. A lousy step backwards from google classroom is all this thing is.

Everyday I go to log into my this app account it takes me a good ten minutes to load, and then I have to wait for the home screen to load, and after that I have to wait for my class to load so. A good 30 minutes later i'm finally able to start my first assignment of the day, I have around 8-10 assignments every day so waiting 30 minutes for a screen to load isn’t necessarily efficient. Not to mention but our education system put all of our work on this terrible app that glitches out, un-submits half of my assignments, glitches me out of tests and then I'm not able to get back into them. this app is the reason i'm doing so bad over distance learning, all of the teachers just think I flunked the test and want to retake it when I email them all because this terrible app keeps glitching. The saddest part about this review is that I put everything very lightly, Schoology is actually so bad I'm having trouble putting it into words. Also i just want to add after reading other people’s reviews I don't want this app to get taken down but my experience with Schoology is very bad but that’s just my experience and you might have a better one than me!

When my school district had to change to online learning in 2 days last spring thanks to Covid, they quickly switched to google classroom. While it had its learning curve, within just one week I had figured out how to manage my 4 children in 3 different levels (elementary, middle, h.s) via the “to do” page. I could check from my phone or computer and know in a glance whether my kids were staying on track. This year put district switched to this app and I’m having a HORRIBLE time. The “feed” clutters out the visibility of any upcoming assignments. Submitting assignments is clunky and not intuitive or flexible (now to submit a photo of a completed paper takes 5 steps instead of 2). Maybe my mind is more traditional— I hate Facebook because it isn’t neat or orderly/you never know when you’re “done.” Modeling a learning management app off of Facebook seems like a mismatch and the messiness of it shows (endless feed of interaction crowding out the “upcoming assignments” section so you can’t even see what’s incomplete.) We should have stuck with google classroom and I’m so angry they messed with a good thing. Any school districts checking this out, take it from a parent and stay away!

Im a student and my school requires this app to be used as the main program for distance learning. The website is always down or crashed for hours a day and am unable to access a lot of my work in the meantime. Also notifications from this app come way later than the posted time by the teacher. For example my teacher will post an assignment at 1pm but I won’t get the notification for it till 5pm. Good thing I check it every hour to avoid this, but most kids won’t.

Update: I get no notifications at all from the this app app. Also, something I discovered is that I am not able to remove submissions from being submitted. Sometimes, my assignment does not import properly and it shows “revision 1” and I have no option to delete it and re-submit. Instead, once I re-submit it shows as “revision 2” and the teacher has to go through revision 1 first to get to revision 2 and see the proper assignment. It wastes time for them and is a inconvenience for me as well. I also do not like that the portfolios are not available in Schoology . Sometimes I need to check my portfolios and have to long in through safari on my phone. It is time consuming and is stupid if I need to check just one thing in my portfolio....

As a parent, I am so disappointed by Schoology. The concept of Schoology is unacceptable. It’s unreliable and extremely unorganized. First off, the layout and organization of Schoology is just terrible. It makes it extremely difficult to read and understand the material given. It’s always such a hassle to first find the things I’m looking for. To add on to this, Schoology is constantly down. Whenever I go into Schoology , it always has nice some sort of issue going on. The content never loads and Schoology itself crashes when being in Schoology for short periods of time. I wanted to let you know it isn’t my WiFi nor do device I’m using it on. My phone is in very good condition and I’ve only had it for a couple months now. Im for-sure it has no bugs or viruses, and my WiFi is very strong and reliable. I’ve talked to professionals about this topic and they’ve always replied with, “it’s Schoology , not your WiFi”. To add on, my kids have had much trouble with Schoology. This includes posting, viewing, and finding information posted by their teachers. I’ve tried google classroom and it’s so much more organized and overall a better app. Once again i am extremely disappointed in Schoology. Do better next time.

I’m not writing this because I hate school or whatever. This is genuinely a terrible app. My reasoning? Well for starters half of the stuff on the web browser isn’t even on Schoology. I had to join a meeting for school because ✨covid✨ and I couldn’t join. I was 5 minutes late thanks to your app because apparently links don’t show up so after trying to figure that out I had to go to the web browser and get on from there. I blame that on y’all. The link was there and working but not on Schoology. My computer has issues all the time so I have to use my phone and iPad to do schoolwork and I downloaded Schoology to try and speed stuff up. Terrible mistake on my end. More things. Submitting stuff is a joke to be honest. It takes like 14 hours to submit anything (if it does submit) and it’s so finicky. With google docs it is terrible because if you don’t submit it one of two ways no one can see it or access it. It is terrible with transferring links/pictures especially from other apps and the bugs are ridiculous. It is sooooo unorganized and I have to go back and forth to find one class. The only good thing about Schoology is that I can get onto this app immediately vs using the web browser, and I’d almost rather do that. FIX Schoology OR TAKE IT OFF ITS PRACTICALLY USELESS

Schoology is not a solution. It is just another hurdle, difficult to use, and that is not what parents need most during a frickin pandemic. THIS IS NOT A SOLUTION. It’s a hot mess. It’s seemingly based on the Facebook wall, which works when people are posting puppies and food pics, but not for students and something as basic as having a single place to see all assignments due and upcoming tests. We already have something that works the way we need: a grid. With columns. Radical, right? A page that is just a grid of what’s due and when. No, instead we get a wall where everything is poured in, kitchen sink and all, and we have to scroll and pick and hunt and search for something we should see on a macro level. If the teacher isn’t great updating, then parents are really hosed. Each time I open this stupid app (which requires parent’s to sign a Terms of Service akin to Facebook, where they are CLEARLY sharing or selling student data... and the argument that there is such a thing an NII is laughable these days) I am frustrated. Schoology is frustrating. It’s poorly designed, it is a whole new way for kids to get lost and fall behind... and for parents trying to help and keep up? it offers no help. This is a bad app. This is a company with a questionable TOS regarding children’s privacy. It’s the wrong choice. Period.

I used all of my dang right information in Schoology. I double checked it to see any mistakes or errors, and saw none. So then I did all the other information stuff to get in to this app, but I come to a glitchy white screen that doesn’t take me anywhere. I needed Schoology for an assignment on my phone, because I tried to get an example of something so I could get help with my assignment. But I clicked example, and it said I needed to download the this app app. I went to Schoology Store. When I saw this app it had a 1.4 rating. I just downloaded Schoology without seeing any reviews. So I did my right information, then went back to the this app place and it said I still needed to get Schoology . I wouldn’t actually call this a “learning material”, or an “app”. I would call it a trashy scam that needs to be fixed. Just make a HUGE update, like fixing how glitchy Schoology is, and etc. I un-downloaded Schoology , and so it was very hard to do my assignment. I had to have two computers in my face looking at a different one about every couple seconds. If the this app app works, my assignment would’ve been a breeze. So don’t download Schoology. It’s a waist of you’re phone storage. So just use a, computer because it’s a million times better than Schoology . And it’s confusing to get on to. Probably we should create a new app that has a big similarity to this app. But in the mean time, I’m going to call Schoology a piece of hot garbage, crap, and a scam.

Hello, my school has been using this app for years, and every year it has been the same problems. An app like Facebook attempting to be “Educational.” This causes many problems because Facebook was made for talking, and getting together, not uploading assignments for students. So combining the two ideas would be a mess. One example of this is the “courses.” Tab. The courses tab is hard to navigate through unless you change the order of the icons, and if you don’t know how to do that you’re gonna have a hard time getting around, and get this, close to no instructions are given on how to do that. Another reason I gave Schoology one star is the group feature, it’s just plain useless. Nobody really uses it besides clubs, and even then it’s just a mini course. Another problem I have with Schoology, is the lack of dark mode. A lot of students have to stay up late and having a blaring white light in your eyes when you try to do literally anything. It might just be mine and my friends opinions but the interface hurts, no exaggeration. I hope this will help Schoology improve somewhat, and give some guidance for adding or removing features.

Aside from how unorganized Schoology is, the features it lacks, and how the Home Screen resembles Facebook, I want to talk about “bugs.” Are they bugs? I don’t know. So, I don’t get email if I get a missing assignment, nor is there a menu to see any missing assignments, which needs to be added. However, my parents get an email pretty much right after the assignment is declared late. And here’s another thing: the way this app counts missing assignments is weird. If an assignment hasn’t been graded EVEN IF THE ASSIGNMENT ISN’T DUE YET, my parents get an email about it, and it adds all sorts of confusion. And in a time where I have to work pretty much exclusively using this app during the pandemic, it adds all sorts of unnecessary stress. Another thing with Schoology , when you open another page, like a course, calendar, etc. That’s like opening a new tab in a browser. So if I accidentally miss click, there’s another 30 seconds of waiting because even though I have pretty decent WiFi, this app servers are being overloaded because of terrible optimization for students. Definitely nitpicking on that, but it needs to be overstated. I know this review will get another automated response and the devs will do nothing about it, but maybe if we spam Schoology with bad reviews, it will hopefully be removed, and that’s what I’m going for. I hate Schoology, I have no idea why my school district adopted it. Thank you for listening to my Ted Talk.

this app itself is a poorly designed system that attempts to turn what ought to be like a project management system into a friendly Facebook like interface, resulting in a system that is bad at being either. It is confusing and difficult for students and parents to navigate and actually know what needs to be done when. This is largely because it doesn’t enforce any standardized input from teachers, because it isolated courses from each other too much, and for parents, because they have to navigate to each student and then within each student to each course in a way that far too often requires two steps. For example, clicking on “courses” seems to open a page, but it’s really just a modal. So the user thinks that after selecting a course, they can click back to get to the courses list. Instead, you go back to the page before. The iOS app makes all this worse because it’s not a true native app, it’s a custom web browser that wraps the website. It cannot, however, display certain kinds of content internally like the website can. It tells you the content is unavailable. Most of it you can actually get to if you zoom in and find the external link, but this is very poor UI design. I would recommend school systems not spend the enormous amount of money this system must cost. As for the rest of us - we’re stuck with the schools’ bad decision, but you’re slightly better off going to a computer and avoiding Schoology whenever possible.

this app seems like a great app to use for school & everything going on this year especially with COVID-19, but is it really? All the students are having a hard time trying to figure out everything with it. The due dates are too small, you can’t delete submissions you didn’t mean to send, very unorganized, and doesn’t say the assignment are done even after you submit your response. This is a terrible way to have many students focus on school. The courses you are in show up alphabetically and not in order, which can be very stressful and hard on students who like to be organized or have OCD and need to have it a specific way. The notifications are on the home screen of Schoology , instead they should have each class, like google classroom, with the due date and time, so you can click the assignment and it’s easy. The folders in the course class are also very hard to understand. Instead of all the assignments popping up you should just be able to click a certain folder and open it and get what you need. Also, when submitting a Google Document or a Word assignment, the assignment gets all messed up when submitted, which can ruin your students grade. This school year, needs to be organized & easy, for all our online, in school, & hybrid students. This is not an organized app for any school to use. Too messy for anyone. Even the teachers are confused on everything. Terrible app. Not recommended.

Hello, I am an 11th grader. I have been using this app for school for probably about 2 1/2 years now. Last year, my school made it mandatory that my teacher give tests and quizzes and some assignments from here. With COVID, we have been using it more than ever. Although it is amazing we are able to do this, Schoology is messed up.

First of all, some assignments for me my teachers can’t see, back in 9th grade when I had to redo a whole week long lab, and my AP US History binder check for a unit. Furthermore, sometimes this app crashes. Last week for my AP Bio class, we were supposed to have a test on Wednesday. Guess what??? She couldn’t post it and it was delayed to Monday. Instead of what I was hoping to be a chill break turned into me studying for my test. This is not my teachers fault. It is not my fault. We, especially the teachers who are doing so much already with reinventing learning, are sick of this.

I hope this app improves A LOT because if it doesn’t, Canva, which has WAY better ratings, is right next door. This application isn’t the worst thing and I understand how so many people are suffering way worse than me right now, but I thought I’d add to your pile of rotten reviews. I’ll give you a 2 because you aren’t the worst thing in the world.

I’m a student, I’m not giving Schoology 3 stars because I hate school, I’m giving Schoology 3 stars because it makes it difficult to do school. First off, the amount of times that I have submitted pictures of assignments through the this app app and they just VANISH is unacceptable and shows me Schoology is dysfunctional. There have been too many occasions when this happens (like every couple of days) and I end up getting marked down for “not turning in everything” when really it’s Schoology glitching. Second, this is not necessarily a problem with Schoology but with the website. In the create tab, there has been a couple of instances where I’m typing something long or detailed and I mis-click ONE KEY and all my work is gone. There’s no back button and if you use that key board shortcut (I forgot what it is) and you have pressed another key, say goodbye to your work, it’s not coming back. Lastly, while this isn’t a huge problem for me, I know it’s a problem for the teachers. On your website, this app goes down way too many times. While us students are excited to not do work for a bit, it messes up the teachers schedule and puts us behind. Thank you for reading my review and I hope that these problems get fixed ASAP.

That’s about the best praise I can give it. My public school system switched from Google Classroom to this platform for hybrid learning this year because of the feature where they can track users’ exact time and activity on Schoology (a bit Big Brother-y for me, but okay). The web version works. The design overall is terrible, but it does what it needs to. Schoology, however, not so much. My teachers have regularly added embedded slides and documents to the updates section of the program, which just simply don’t show up on Schoology . The video conferencing is another big issue - we use it regularly, and it’s nowhere to be seen on Schoology . Honestly, don’t even waste your time downloading and setting this up when it works perfectly fine on Safari. To the developers of this app: make the web version and the iOS app the same. It’s extremely frustrating to not be able to see conferences and certain updates on my iPad that my classmates are seeing on their laptops, and I’ve been late to classes and missing assignments because of it.

I am a teacher and have been using the this app app with my classroom set of iPads for several years now. Overall I have to say it has done a good job. I love the test/quiz feature, which allows me to get instant data on student learning so I can then take action armed with realtime knowledge of where the gaps are in student learning.

My only complaints are with the updates. Most of the time I don’t even notice the updates because they make improvements. However, there have been a few instances where an app update felt more like a downgrade. One such update just came out. In the previous version when you opened links within a course, the link would open in a full page window. With the latest update the links are now loading in a mini window about half the size of the screen. So far, I have been unsuccessful in finding a way to make them full screen. This mini window makes viewing materials linked in this app much more cumbersome as you are forced scroll to see different parts of the page. In addition, if you try to move the window around the screen it often triggers a refresh, which can erase work. I am not a fan of the update, but the overall app I really appreciate.

I’m a student and we use this app in class. this app does good things like keep all of our work together but it has SO SO SO many bugs, malfunctions (we’ve had times where Schoology was down for a day so we couldn’t access our work) and I can tell it really stresses out the teachers and my fellow classmates. There’s always something wrong. There was once an entire week when Schoology didn’t work so we would have to use the website which is laggy. this app has good intentions, but mixed with the lags it depends what type of person you are. It’s not my schools choice to use this app and even our principal doesn’t really like it. I don’t know how the elementarys in our district use this. It’s too complicated sometimes. I understand the developers probably spent a lot of work on this and I respect that because I’m not very good at coding myself and it has soOOOO many features on Schoology… when there’s not bugs Schoology can make my work a lot easier to access. I will say though, when I was forced to be virtual during quarantine and all we had besides zoom and email was this app, it was very stressful for me (it makes me very scared that we might have to go back virtual and I’m going have to rely on this app again..) But other than that id say that if this app just worked on it’s bugs a little bit Schoology could be great for districts. :)

The website of this app is very good. It is useful for school, especially during coronavirus quarantine because we have to learn from home. However, Schoology is not as good as the website. When I check the notifications, it doesn’t show me the new ones. Even after refreshing, it still just shows the old notifications. Then, after it finally shows me the new ones, the “notifications” section still has a red dot on it. (Even after the most recent update) When I close Schoology , it still says that there are a bunch of notifications. I also have trouble accessing links sometimes. Also, when a link actually works, the website it goes to always shows up in a pop-up. It never shows up in an actual browser. Another problem is that it takes forever to upload a video, which is a problem when I’m trying to submit a recorded project.

A summary of my review: The website is great, but Schoology needs some bug fixes.

Edit: Most of the links work, but there are still a few that don’t work. I’m still having problems with the notifications. When I checked Schoology this morning, it said that I had over 50 notifications. I did the same things: open notifications, refresh, go back to home page, refresh, go back to notifications, refresh. I repeated this process several times and I think I refreshed the page about 10 times, but there were still 50. I had to restart my iPad and then refresh 3 more times to get rid of that 50. There is still 1.

I think that many of the reviews were written by misinformed individuals thinking that Schoology should be their sole tool to help them work through the semester. This is a fantastic app. It is NOT an app where you should be completing and turning in every assignment, and expecting it to work flawlessly. It is meant to be a helpful mobile tool to help find out what due dates are coming up, introduce you to newly posted assignments, and submit documents in a pinch. And for those purposes Schoology works fantastic. If you need to see the due dates neatly lined out for you, this is perfect. You would not expect to transfer money to a relative through your simple mobile banking app, but you may need to quickly check your bank balance, in which case a mobile app is perfect. This is not a full this app interface. You will need to have a laptop or desktop where you are working through the vast majority of your assignments, and this can be accomplished simply with a 100$ chrome book. Do not be misinformed this is by no means a full computer software, and the developers surely know this. This is a fantastic app, and it is even easier than the full website for many purposes. 5 stars.

I took me 2 days to figure out how to switch between my students. Oh, it's not under the 'my children' tab. There isn't anything under there, actually. Nothing is found easily. My son is at the high school now & I haven't figured out how to add the new campus to my 'buildings' list. Nope, it doesn't automatically happen. I have all notifications set to 'on' for email & app notifications & I have yet to receive one. There is no 'parent view' to be able to see what is going on in chronological order. You have to view each item as your student. So you have to check each class, for each student. And the 'courses' tab does not scroll down so you can actually only see the top 5 courses. So I hope you don't need those other 2 for anything!! I hated Schoology last year & now that my kids are at different campuses I hate it even more!! The website is less ridiculous, but seriously, why have an app at all if it's such a pile of 💩?? I'm on an iPhone X with the latest operating system & my app is updated. Stick with the website if you must use this app.

by WongJo2716

this app is low quality compared to most other apps I have seen. The general idea is fine, but there are just way too many flaws. Additionally, there are certain ways that this app makes me want to not live. For example, I was doing an online assignment for my math class. My connection drops for literally one second and refreshing results in getting kicked out. I messaged the teacher, but it’s due in 30 minutes. I don’t know anything about making a website, but I know that this is a terrible way for it to function. The whole thing just seems a little lazy to me. Usually Schoology is pretty slow. The viewer is trash, and any image or video you upload is horribly compressed. You clearly do not understand what your main audience wants. As a student using this app, working with it increases my chance of self harm by 20% or more. Please fix your numerous issues. Using this app increases my blood pressure and decreases my life span. I hope you can fix many of the frustrations I have encountered during my use of this app.
Thank you for reading.

As a parent of a 6th grader, this is my first time using Schoology. Almost everything my son does in class and assignments for home revolves around this app. This is absolutely the most frustrating app I’ve ever used and having to try and navigate it on a daily basis is a nightmare. I can’t tell you how many homework assignments we have missed entirely because we couldn’t find them in all the folders and general disorganization in Schoology. Why isn’t there a section just for HOMEWORK with each class listed with the homework and due date next to it??? Instead I have to go through each class individually and if the teacher didn’t create an update on the side, I have to try to go through all these folders to try to find it. Using Schoology on my phone is also useless because most of the files are too big to open in the mobile app, so I have to get on the computer every single time I want to check something. Schoology definitely needs a lot of work, I’m dreading having to deal with this for another two years. 👎

by Speechless In DE

Can not believe schools are using such a P.O.S. app. No scroll option, can view anything on the mobile site, it directs you to Schoology . I load Schoology , sign in and lo & behold, no scroll under courses. Basically you can only see the 1st course listed. If you take your fingers and zoom out you can see all the courses but the minute you let go- it zooms right back in and you can only click on the 1st course listed. I then clicked on the word courses listed above the course listings. Well this somehow linked back to the mobile site within Schoology which did give me the option to see all courses, however, if I click on anything within the course- notes, answer sheets, assignments, grades- it comes back with another error stating to use the Mobile App which if your keeping up reading this review I’m in Schoology getting the error to ya Schoology . Yeah. Schoology is crap!!!! I’m going to my district to complain. And will everyday until it’s removed. It’s probably the most unhelpful and useless app I’ve seen in a while.

by Brokenstaircase

I would be fine with this app if we didnt have to use it for 70% of our school work. Also apparently i HAD to download Schoology because you cant view pictures on”mobile browser” its so frustrating and infantile that it is REQUIRED i have not only a smart phone, but also a poorly made, idiotic, waste of space to sit on the screen to remind me that i have to wake up every week day look at myself in the mirror and know that for the next few hours of my short life the only feelings i will have are dread, self hatred, and a strong sense that im just not good enough because i cant be an honor student and i cant do good in sports. In short not only is Schoology making me do even worse in school but it is also reminding me if not mocking me about the fact that i am nothing but a statistic to come to school get bad grades and participate in the ever so important standardized testing so that the government can see just how bad Schoology is in our classrooms.

by Alfaretta

Schoology was fine before it was updated and made it so you have to click different pages to view all your assignments. Please change it back to where you can see all the updates and classes at once, on the same page. The added feature of an extra button to view your classes is just completely unnecessary since you could just go to the classes in the first class. Also, I really don’t like how when I click on an assignment and click the ‘back’ arrow it takes me back to the updates because then I have to click the tab to show all my assignments again. It wastes time and the whole three tabs to see the updates, classes, and upcoming assignments is really inconvenient. Other than that, Schoology is great.

by NaomiLeah613

I just downloaded the latest iOS version and right away I have a problem. Only one of my children shows up. I navigated to “My Students” and see no option to add a student. I searched most every menu in Schoology and didn’t find it. If it’s there, it’s buried & ridiculously hard to find. If it’s not there, when a parent opens “My Students,” there should appear immediately a link with instructions on how to add a student. I have been a LAUSD parent for 5 years and I have NEVER found the websites or apps to be easy, intuitive and user friendly. LAUSD needs to majorly modernize or just ditch Schoology and go back to paper notices and face to face conferences only, in my opinion. If this app isn’t easy for the great majority of families to use, it’s not useful.

by Personnnnnnnnnnnnnn

The idea of this app is great and the website works great on the computer, but Schoology is not ideal. Thee are some things about it that just don’t make sense. For example the wifi in my school is a bit spotty and when I go in and out of it while opening Schoology it just logs me out and even if I reopen Schoology while in the wifi it still makes me login again. Also when I post something in my club’s this app group there are formatting issues that don’t appear on the website. It doesn’t register when I make a new line by pressing [enter]. It shows while I’m typing but when I post it there is no mew line. This is really frustrating. I also can’t access my bio where you select type of learner, change name, etc. from Schoology whereas you can from the website. Also my profile picture shows up upside down for some reason. No idea why since it’s right side up on the computer. I still use Schoology since it’s better than going on Safari but it’s really a pain.

I love using the this app app for my school, however I wish they would go back to the version where the home screen had both the assignments and the updates on it as shown in the first picture. I don’t like the fact that whenever I click on an assignment to view it and I back out of it, it takes me to the home screen; this is very frustrating when I’m trying to see what homework I have and I have to keep going back to the assignment list. I also wish that Schoology would let me know that I’ve submitted something so that I don’t have to go into each assignment individually and check to see if I’ve turned in the assignment. Schoology needs improvements, but overall it’s a good educational resource.

Schoology is great and is always getting better. Using Schoology keeps us from wasting paper, and helps prepare students for the technology age before them. It works on iPads, Microsoft laptops, and on many devices through web browsers. It automatically grades assignments for teachers, allows many formats for assignments, and more. It allows students to communicate with teachers from at home, and can make it easy to report bullying without the bully knowing about it. Parents can even be connected and hear from teachers how their kids are doing in class, behavior issues, and class trips and activities. However, don’t get Schoology ! The online version is available through multiple web browsers, and it is much better! It is easier to navigate and log in, but that is my opinion. Sorry for the extremely long review. Have a great day!

Honestly I don’t care to have much of an opinion about this app, my school has been using it for maybe 5 years, so I don’t mind it. However, what’s been bugging me particularly about Schoology is that while in browser you can insert a link, in Schoology you can’t. And I’m not talking about the ability to just paste a link into the comment, because duh, but the special feature that embeds the link in. I really need that for school because it’s required for a weekly assignment for my English class, and it stinks that I am forced to use a computer for something that I should be able to do on Schoology . Please implement this feature into Schoology .

I can honestly say that this app is the best online program for schools to have. I love how I get notifications on this app when a teacher posts, comments, or sends a message. I love how easy it makes things, such as if you forget to write an assignment in your agenda book- it’s most likely already posted in the this app calendar. With Schoology , you don’t need to log in to your laptop and get to this app- all you do is turn on your phone. How easy is that? I also love how this app can be accessed from computers too! This is a great app for all your school needs. this app is a great way to communicate with classmates and teachers, even take a quiz on here and get your grade instantly! It’s also a way to get students excited about participating in discussions with other classmates in the social-media platform. I would definitely recommend this for ALL schools!!

Why can’t you delete yourself from a course? You see, I added myself to the wrong period in this one class, I have issues with talking to people and I don’t see why it isn’t possible to delete yourself from a course. Could you consider, if you read this, maybe adding that function. I get that you might want to make sure a kid doesn’t delete the course with out finishing the class but if you’re transferring schools it would be a much easier transition if you could just delete yourself from the former school courses. Otherwise I really like Schoology and have no other problems (other than the jankiness that is split screening, but that’s not really a big issue) and I find Schoology to be very helpful with keeping track of my schoolwork and updates from my teachers.

my school district stated using this app last year and as a student I really like it. It had daily notifications that show me my homework and any upcoming tests that my teachers put in. My principal also uses it to make important announcements that students, parents and teachers need to know. I’ve found that it has made school so much easier in the fact that all my history lessons are on there and I can easily go back and re read them. It’s also useful if I forget a very important assignment because I can easily printout a copy. (All these things have to be put on by teachers) overall it’s a very good app and is very easy to navigate
