The team at Activity Messenger has been so responsive to suggestions on how to make the software work best for our business.

Activity messenger has been a lifesaver. As a private school with a growing through the population, I could be messenger has been a saving grace this fall.

This software is extremely user friendly and very well suited for the administration of our gymnastics club.

They've been very responsive to requests & helpful when we can't get things done. They are also very upfront (in a good way) about what limitations that they have.

They have an awesome vision, fully support the product.

We implemented Activity messenger in the fall of 2020 and the ease of use to customize our branding, and integrate with our registration software was so straightforward.

Some labels/feature names are confusing to understand at first glance.

Not only are the open to suggestions, they are willing to implement and have been so open to feedback on what works and what could be tweaked - just outstanding customer service.

There are 3 useful pricing structure tiers great for several different sized organizations or business. It allows you to integrate with Canva.com and Pixel, both of which can be free.

This system is fast and efficient and user friendly for the customer. The price was a great selling point for the amount of forms we collected a year with out breaking the budget.

The developer works quickly, makes improvements constantly and supports the product closely and effectively.

The biggest problem Activity Messenger has solved for us is electronic waivers.

The technical support is awesome and listen to the organization needs.

Love the personal help accompanied with software. Anytime I have a question I get a fast response.

Our customers love having the reminders with dates, times, meeting locations, special requirements, in their hands at the right time. The product integrates with Amilia and Zoom seamlessly.

The customisation that we can do and the true collaboration with Activity Messenger's team. The integration with our business processes is also great.

At this point, I do not have anything to say about negative aspects of the software.

The team at Activity Messenger has been absolutely outstanding and on top of everything. Using Activity messenger for our online classes as simplied the process so much.

Activity Messenger easily wins on creating lists, building templates and cost. Lists are easy to upload, paste and build with extensive filter capacity as well as dual unsubscribe features.

The integration with Amilia and ability to connect with our specific client lists is wonderful. This has been essential this year with so many changing dynamics due to the pandemic.

There is little to no integration with Amilia's facility rentals.

We only had a PDF version before which was very difficult for families.

SENSITIVE CONTENT] are truly fantastic at responding to requests quickly, and integrating suggestions.

The ease of use is something I really appreciate. I'm not a techie, but the intuitive interface of the platform has allowed me to navigate and configure everything without a problem.

It has moved us from administratively paper based, to virtual, very rapidly and during a time when it was extremely necessary. The fact that it has a direct link to Amelia is fantastic.

Very happy with the decision to add this product. It has helped save time and money on many aspects of my job.

With the ever changing COVID-19 policies and procedures at the moment, Activity Messenger has has been invaluable due to it's ease of use, adaptability and low cost.

Templates are a dream to build. Pricing is based on use and not list size which is a giant saving.

Parents absolutely love how easy it is to use one form for multiple children, and we love how it captures a digital signature.

Overall extremely happy with this application. I highly recommend that every parent who has a child in school use this app.

Gradebook can be difficult to use compared to other programs. We have just started using it and at the moment it is not completely syncing with our other programs.

I love how quick and easy it is to post for my students and their families. It is a great communication tool.

Very easy to use for students and teachers. I love how as a student I am able to see every single detail about my grades and what is submitted and what did not get submitted.

You have to set the fields and ranges and then waste time running a report to see if it works.

The technical support is the best I've seen in the industry. Everyone is very knowledgeable and is kind.

I have used this program  as a parent and as a teacher. As a teacher it is fabulous.

For example, in regards to attendance, it is hard for us teachers to adjust the attendance after they have been entered as absent in first period, but they show up later in third period.

The integration with other systems and the wealth of dashboard options allows for all things to be managed in one system.

Skyward crashes on occasion, which can be very frustrating as when it goes down, our entire system hits a roadblock. It doesn't happen frequently, but when it does, it's very much an inconvenience.

Skyward I am sure has many functions that I have not been trained to used. I feel good software should be user friendly and somewhat intuitive; Skyward is not.

I love that I can send mass emails to all parents. I am impressed by some of the reports that I can generate from the website.

They are always improving and keeping up with current trends. Skyward has absolutely OUTSTANDING customer service.

The best feature to me is that everything is in one place. Having multiple systems to manage makes data tracking much more difficult.

It is somewhat difficult to learn. There are many variables that can confuse teachers in creating gradebooks and in accessing information.

Skyward is a fantastic program and quite simply I cannot imagine doing my job without it.

I am so glad that my child is a senior this year and I will never have to deal with this substandard software package again.

One of my favorite things about Skyward was the ease that went into transferring grades if a student was moved from one class to another.

Everything was a waste of my time as a parent. All workflows are not intuitive.

This product is so easy to use once you get the hang of it. It's a great way to keep all of your students information in one place.

My overall experience with Skyward has been positive. It is a great tool to enter the students's grades.

I love that you can acess so much information and set it to view as you want to. I like that it is so easy to use.

I would love to see your software customer service staff have site visits, I think this would help for both skyward customers and skyward employees.

It was easy to use for kids and not too complicated for parents.

It has been beneficial to knowing what my paychecks will be so I can budget appropriately.

I hate it, I can't find the login portal, i think it's mythical.

It does not integrate with anything. It is extremely difficult to import grades from any other program or online curriculum/grading system.

Useful features to allow parents interact with their child's activities. Allows for integration with payment systems which is seamless and real-time.

Bummed that it costs so much because many people who do use it have been very pleased with it's performance and uses.
