Pros:

Things I like most about School Diary are - - A single platform for all school communications - Instant photograph sharing from school - Calendar and reminders for school events - Highly accurate bus tracking and notification system - Unified payment within the product - One to one communication with teachers It's a one stop app for all my communications to my son's school. It provides me window to observe the progress of my son's education. Provides me timely feedback to take corrective action. This app is easy to use, engaging and effective at the same time.

Cons:

Initially there were some bugs in the software and UI was not great, but the School Diary team has solved them quickly. Not only that they have also added new features frequently. Over a period this app has become indispensable for me. I am sure this team is constantly working on the product and will keep improving.

Overall lot of manual effort is saved everyday which can be used in other productive activities.

Time and effort saving. Homework and other important communications are reaching in parents hands directly. Pictures and msgs can be shared individually or in smaller groups/class wise.

Pros:

Homework communication, informing the parents about all school events and sharing everyday pics is where this is most useful. There's still lot of scope for improvement, but it has become an integral part of our system. The support team is quick to respond which helps a lot. After being used to communication through the app, its not possible to switch back because of ease of operation and time saving.

Cons:

There are few limitations like video sharing is not possible and Day care module which needs to be revised. Sometimes msgs also get delayed, but overall it can be relied upon.

Pros:

The best feature is its mobile friendly.. Parents and children will have full communication with school activities, functions, students assignments and all the general school details. A parent can get timely feedback on their kid's performance at school. It reduces cheating or covering up done by kids to cover failure in school work.

Cons:

Its quite a useful application, lm yet to discover loopholes and improvement areas. For now its thumps up.

Comprehensive

Security is key when it comes to communication involving our loved ones. They have done it. Paper diary, email and sms communication have serious limitations and SchoolDiary killed them. Payment integration solved everything when it comes to collecting small amounts of money from parents. School uniforms and stationaries now can be bought directly from the app! No more worries about schools events notifications and reminders
