Remind Pros and Cons

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.

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.

Remind is great for the price. For someone needing to reach a smaller capacity of people with little to no budget, Remind is the way to go. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I didn't like the limiting amount of numbers that I could have in a list for the free version. However, I understand that with more features, money is likely to be needed. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like that I can communicate with my kid's teachers faster and more efficiently. The app makes it easy to send pictures and receive pictures from my teacher. It also seems more relaxed. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I wish my teachers could see the messages as fast as I do as a parent for the reminder app. But unfortunately, my kid's teacher told me she has to log in to see the notes, and they aren't always logged in. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Remind is an effective and easy-to-use solution for large group communication. The ability to schedule messages ahead of time as well as add and remove people from groups easily makes it ideal for our setup. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

You cannot remove group leaders from a group even after they have left the organization. It requires us to start a new group when one of the leaders leaves. This makes it difficult when we have new leaders every year. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
