Remind Reviews & Product Details

We use Remind to send messages to parents in both one-way and two-way formats. We have used Remind for about 5 years, and are so pleased with its capabilities. We send different kinds of media as well, not just text. Training is provided to school staff each year, and transitioning from one school year to another makes annual implementation very simple. I have received help from Customer Support when creating rosters. We use Remind as an integrated part of our communications plan on a daily basis, multiple times a day.

Not much. I would like the ability to do mass calling, but the 2-way calling feature is nice. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I love how easy it is to communicate with both individuals and groups. It is easy to implement as well because it takes hardly any time at all to set up! We used it almost daily in the after school program where I work to communicate with parents if we were inside a building or out on the playground. I also used it to help communicate with parents for a Battle of the Books program. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I wish there were a way to attach more than one picture to a message. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Remind allows the school employees/coaches to communicate with student athletes and club members without introducing personal devices. The school can monitor all messages being sent between team members and adults. Allows for peak safety for students. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The admin portal is very simple and basic. Does the job, but leaves some to be desired. Wouldn't mind a few more setting options or preference options. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Mass messages nothing else really sorry. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It's ability to produce reporting on messaging between clients

It is easy to use but expensive Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Anti-consumer cancellation policy. Wrote them to explain that I inherited this software subscription that overlaps in feature with another bundle so when I asked to cancel it within a month of the renewal date, they informed me that they could and would not due to their written policy. This software is thousands of dollars a year and now they say we're stuck paying for something we do not plan to use. This company operates like a copier lease manufacturer which is just slightly above the reputation of a used-car salesperson. Stay clear of this company for not only being inflexible but downright greedy. We are a non-profit school and this just unecessarily reduces limited resources.

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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

easy to install, use on a laptop, or in an app. I've been using for greater than nine years Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Can have only a set amount of particpants per Class set. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Easy, efficient method for keeping in touch with all parents/guardians and students. Good reporting for administrative Hub users. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It can be tricky to figure out who is who at times, particularly if a parent has signed up multiple times. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The only negative I have found is that it is only effective if all members of the target group sign up for it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
