What do you like best about Orah?

User friendly for all parties and increased accountability Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Orah?

Needs a better interface for large TV screens. The old web app leave board allows up to have around 40 students on the screen at once but could do with some refinements / updates. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Orah?

My favorite thing about Boardingware is how it appeals to visual learners. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Orah?

I dislike that the data for some groups has to be manually entered, as we rotate required dinner table groups and our Culinary Faculty Supervisor has to manually enter 200 names every 2-3 weeks. I also dislike how VASTLY different it looks for Apple products versus Android, making training documents VERY hard to create. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Boardingware = game changer!"
5/5
What do you like best about Orah?

I love the accessibility of boardingware. As a weekend administrator on duty who is also a dorm parent it is so convenient to be on my dorm and to be able to see where all of our other students are or to have access to contact information if we need to track them down. It is also great having the phone app for athletic travel. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Orah?

I would love to be able to see groups of students signed out together so that we can bettie monitor if they sign back in together or if there are changes in the patters of their travel. This is something we were able to do on our old paper model and it was often influential in monitoring potential disciplinary issues. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Orah?

Getting easier. Easy for parents to submit passes. Less wasted paper Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Orah?

Parents don't call to confirm plans (need to...just in case students know their log-in). Difficult for parents to get started (different skill level with computers). Binder was easier.

The Boardingware Staff App on my personal phone keeps crashing every time I try to access the requests.

Co-workers aren't as good at figuring it out. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Tiago Penteado of Orah

Hi Mark, thank you for your review! PowerSchool is not far away - unfortunately it has been hard to get in touch with PowerSchool but we're making progress. If it were up to us this would have been done long ago.

Thanks again - Paul
