Remind Reviews

easy to install, use on a laptop, or in an app. I've been using for greater than nine years

Can have only a set amount of particpants per Class set.

Easy of use and can add other features, uploads, files, newsletter, etc.

I like that Remind allows me to message my students' parents regularly. I can message them individually, in specifically selected groups, or as a whole class. It also allows me to send photos, files, etc.

I dislike how I'm able to upload only 1 photo at a time. Some weeks are busy at school and we may be asked to send out 5 photo announcements, all 1 text at a time, rather than as multiple attachments on one message.

Remind helps me stay connected with my students' parents, my school admins, and my colleagues. It is a secure messaging app, which provides ease along with safety!

I like that I can send messages to a group with graphics. I can use Bitmoji app which makes it look a little more fun.

I don't like not being able to send a message to a few people instead of the whole group. It could be my school settings.

I can send announcements to a group of people and I see if it was received. This is better than paper flyers because I don't know if parents see those.

Remind is an easy way to send messages such as homework assignments, snow day information, or other class and school news. The creator can send and receive messages through it.

The only negative I have found is that it is only effective if all members of the target group sign up for it.

Definitely easy to use

This app provides great communication between teachers and students as well as administrators and staff. Messages can be quickly and easily send to a whole group.

Easy, efficient method for keeping in touch with all parents/guardians and students. Good reporting for administrative Hub users.

It can be tricky to figure out who is who at times, particularly if a parent has signed up multiple times.

We have been using Remind to keep in touch with our parents/guardians and students for several years. For many of our users, SMS is their primary method of communication. Therefore, Remind has helped us tremendously in that regard.

I love that I can have all of my classes organized and easy to find.

Everything works perfectly. I’ve been using Remind for a long time, and I still love it.

Stop looking and start using this app! It is absolutely perfect for anyone in education.

Two-way communication with students and parents.

Students and parents are allowed to message me without seeing my personal cell phone number.

Ability to easily send messages and communicate with large groups of people.

Setting up a SIS sync has been somewhat difficult.

Mass notifications to parents, students, and staff.

Remind is an effective and easy-to-use solution for large group communication. The ability to schedule messages ahead of time as well as add and remove people from groups easily makes it ideal for our setup.

You cannot remove group leaders from a group even after they have left the organization. It requires us to start a new group when one of the leaders leaves. This makes it difficult when we have new leaders every year.

Remind meets all of our needs for large group communication. It is moderately priced and works well for our educational setup.

We are solving the problem of getting messages and links out to everyone quickly. This allows us to avoid large group texts, especially with and without iphones. It will enable us to send messages without bothering everyone with responses.

I like that I can set up multiple groups and send a text to one or more groups quickly and easily. I also like that I can send a message to an individual and add attachments.

The only thing I dislike is the short amount of characters allowed and that an attachment reduces that number.

Remind is a wonderful solution to quick and easy communication with students, parents, or staff. Well worth giving a try!

It has made it so much easier to connect with my students without waiting for them to check emails or Google Classroom.

Integration with google classroom, use of sms, email and app based communication.

Not all telecommunication providers support free SMS messaging in Canada, therefore some communication might be limited to the app or email which requires a data plan.

If you are considering other platforms, consider the problem you want to solve. Remind is the best tool for communication with your stakeholders.

In the midst of the COVID-19 crisis, communication with students and parents has never been more important. Remind allows for instant communication which confirmation of delivery and messages read.
