"Smart Pass is a GReat Addition to our School Processes"
4/5
What do you like best about SmartPass?

I like that I can see all the active Smart Passes on one screen. I also like that I can search a student by name. It's very user friendly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about SmartPass?

The downside of Smart Pass is that students need to have access to a computer to end the Smart Pass. Students sometimes arrive to class and their computers aren't out for use. This leads to false information and extended time on passes. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Lee Barnes` of SmartPass

Hello!

Thank you for your review an taking the time to send us some feedback! Based on your dislike about SmartPass, it seems Overtime Passes might be really beneficial to you. In the case where a student does not have a device handy, this feature will automatically end a pass after the timeframe you set. I've linked the article to this review so you and other reviewers can benefit from it.

It also sounds like we can do a better job of keeping you in the loop with respect to our roadmap. I'll let the teams know! Thank you!

"Great data!"
4.5/5
What do you like best about SmartPass?

SmartPass offers invaluable data that isn't necessarily easily accessed with a paper pass system. The system, overall, allows the opportunity to see which students are out of class often and to address the underlying reasons for this with the outcome of-hopefully-having kids in class. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about SmartPass?

There is a learning curve for sure, but it's very user friendly! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Lee Barnes` of SmartPass

Hello!

Thanks for your review! I totally agree- there is no accountability when using paper passes. Accountability helps us to identify trends, attribute those trends to people, and begin to change behaviors.

We're so glad you find SmartPass user-friendly! We're constantly working to make it even better.

Setting limits for passes and leveraging our Encounter Prevention are great ways to mitigate missed class time, vandalism, and other unwanted behaviors.

The kids sometimes forget their passwords Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Abel Gonzales of SmartPass

Hi Jennifer,

Thank you so much for taking the time to leave us such a glowing review! We're thrilled to hear that you're loving SmartPass!

It truly is so valuable to know which students are getting back to class on time and which students aren't.

We hear you on the occasional hiccup with students forgetting their passwords. Rest assured, we're continuously working on ways to streamline the user experience, and we'll definitely take your feedback into account as we make improvements.

It's also, great to know that SmartPass is effectively addressing the issue of students going to the bathroom in groups. Creating a more organized and regulated environment ultimately benefits everyone involved, from teachers to students.

Once again, thank you for your kind words, and thank you for choosing SmartPass!
