Remind is great for the price. For someone needing to reach a smaller capacity of people with little to no budget, Remind is the way to go. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I didn't like the limiting amount of numbers that I could have in a list for the free version. However, I understand that with more features, money is likely to be needed. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like that I can communicate with my kid's teachers faster and more efficiently. The app makes it easy to send pictures and receive pictures from my teacher. It also seems more relaxed. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I wish my teachers could see the messages as fast as I do as a parent for the reminder app. But unfortunately, my kid's teacher told me she has to log in to see the notes, and they aren't always logged in. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It was a super quick way to communicate with parents. I could check replies on my phone at home or wait until school to reply. More reliable than a student bringing a note in from home. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

My school now uses this as their primary form of communication. I hate that I can't save info for later use, like with emails. Sometimes when information is sent, I don't always have the time to read it right away. I missed out on things because they got lost in my "newsfeed" of communication.

ParentSquare is a good way to keep a collection of communication. Built in translations can be helpful to reach multiple populations. Linking to an SIS to automatically populate groups to message is more helpful than inputting each email individually. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

ParentSquare doesn't save progress in drafts, so if you accidentally close or navigate away from the page, all work is lost. Picture and video attachments are not streamlined and are difficult to ensure they are sent properly. The amount of notifications can feel overwhelming to parents, which actually has them checking messages less frequently. You aren't able to send messages to only a select group of parents. You can send individual messages, but not groups, so email is still necessary in some cases. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Remind allows our school and district personnel to communicate with parents and other community members through text messages. I like that the product can auto-translate messages into other languages based upon the end-user's preferred language. I also like that the product enables me to schedule outgoing messages. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I wish the product allowed me to schedule messages at the district level. I can currently schedule outgoing messages at the individual schools, but that requires me to copy and paste my content into the platform several times if I want to broadcast district-wide.

Remind allows me to contact my students and families without either party having to share their personal phone number. All messages and announcements are saved on Remind, which allows for full transparency of messages between students and their educators. It is easy to share documents (google docs, images, PDFs) with Remind. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The free version of Remind has a 140 character limit which can be limiting when trying to get information out to students. However, that limit is only for the announcements to the whole class. The one-on-one messaging does not seem to have limits, which is useful. One downside to Remind is that it does not require students to log in with their school email or use their real name when joining. Similarly, when parents join Remind, they are not required to fill out who their student is, which can make it confusing when receiving messages from parents with different last names from their child. That being said, a simple work-around would be for teachers to explicitly require that the students/families use their full names when joining their class. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I love that I can have all of my classes organized and easy to find. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Everything works perfectly. I’ve been using Remind for a long time, and I still love it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like that the information is both texted and emailed to me. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

This is a user complaint, but I sometimes get 5-6 "Remind"ers in a row and it can be overwhelming. Not an issue with the software. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I love that I can send out a mass remind message to parents, but if they respond, it becomes a one-on-one conversation. This not only helps to not blow up other parents' phones but helps keep things confidential, too. I also love that almost any link or PDF I would need to include can be included in the text reminders to parents. It also helps create a quick and easy way to communicate with parents about anything that is going on in the classroom or at school. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The only thing I dislike about Remind is that the initial reminder message has a character limit. It can be hard when you really need to stay professional sounding, and you only need a couple more words to get that point across. I also don't like the limit on the people you can remind for free. I get that they are a business, but (and this goes for any company that focuses on the education field), they really need to understand that teachers are the ones who usually pay for these "extras," not the school. And teachers barely have enough to support themselves without spending all kinds of money on their classrooms. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
