Robert Bost review for Herd

I Love the app and I have only "Herd" good thing from our parents and teachers about their experiences.

PROS

If I had to pick one feature or function I liked the most about Herd it would have to be the customer service. From my first email reaching out to the company, I have always felt like a priority to them and I have always been treated fair and quickly.

CONS

The mobile app on my phone is really easy to understand and use so training people on how to use the app wasn't really needed. that is usually something I struggle with when using technologies in our school. So as of now I have had no Cons.

Reasons for switching to Herd

these applications were very expensive for the few and flawed function they offered.

Best Parent-Teacher App!

Herd has been a huge improvement to our district's parent-teacher communication strategy. Before I was having to use 5 different apps to communicate with my children's teachers, but with Herd all messaging is in one secure place where it's so simple to quickly interact with teachers when needed.

PROS

Herd finally gives me the chance to keep all my kids updates and info in one single place. All teacher communication is easy to access and respond to when needed.

CONS

None at all! Herd has been a breeze, and is so easy to set up!

Reasons for switching to Herd

Finally the school district decided to make the move, loving it!

Sometimes I forget to tell my students something important that they need to known for the next in-class lecture, and I really enjoy being able to make quick and important announcements to keep me from having to tell them the next day.

CONS

I don't experience any downsides to using Herd as of now.

Remind's "Chat" function had too many flaws to continue paying for.

My favorite Class Tool is HERD

PROS

The Company's customer service is amazing. They are always very nice and they reply very fast.

CONS

I do not have any serious Cons at the time, but I would like to see a feature that allows me to change the color of my app. I did ask if that was something I could do in a meeting with the Tech Support and they told me they were working on that function right now.

Replaced annoying group texts for Coach/Team communication

Has been a great replacement to our previous email list/group chat way of doing things

PROS

It is one single app that everyone on the team can use instead of going through email lists or group chats.

CONS

It would be nice to be able to personalize push notification settings.

Reason for choosing Herd

Better UI.Less spam notifications from group chat
