Students using a kiosk have a hard time telling when it is their turn if they are waiting in line Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
It is easy to use and implement. Keeping track of where students are and how long they’re gone. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
That the volume works 10% of the time. That if a teacher creates a pass, then it starts right away instead of putting them in line. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I am continually impressed with feature updates and the companies willingness to take feedback and suggestions to continue to improve the product for us. The customer support has been great, answering questions and providing great resources.
As a MTSS Tier 1 coach, we frequently use real time data into the engagement and movement of our students during class. Our teachers have been able to use data from student passes to have constructive conversations about the amount of in class engagement with their students.
Our teachers have shared the ease of use with sharing in and out time in the classroom with parents when communicating about their students progress. Our admin team has been able to use the data to help spot trends on student movement, allowing us to relocate hallway supports as necessary.
We have also used the data to help with interventions for students who were using too many bathroom/drink passes each day. We have seen a reduction as a result of using the data to support our intervention.
Our hall monitors and security, are able to report students who shouldn't be in the halls, allowing meaningful behavioral conversations between students and administrators. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I do not have any dislikes, because they are continually updating and improving their platform to support the needs of schools and students. If I were to have a wish, it would be that if the data would integrate into our SIS or other dashboards that would allow us to provide even more information from the whole child.

Hi William,
Thank you so much for taking the time to share your experience with us. We greatly appreciate your positive feedback and are thrilled to hear how SmartPass has been instrumental in supporting your role as an MTSS Tier 1 coach!
It's also fantastic to hear how our real-time data insights have facilitated meaningful conversations among teachers, parents, administrators, and students themselves. We're especially pleased that you've found value in our continuous updates and improvements to support the needs of our customers.
We're honored to be a part of your efforts to create a positive learning environment for your students, and thank you once again for your glowing review.
There's lots of flexibility within SmartPass for room settings, pass limits, encounter preventions, individualizing SPass for grade levels or specific students. The data we get from SmartPass helps us to make some decisions monthly. It's easy to use, easy to manage, and we have seen a huge improvement around keeping kids in the classroom and not in the halls during class time. The customer support is excellent! With this year's addition of the Bell Schedules, that has added another level of positives for us with the ease at which students and staff can create a pass - loving the addition! We also appreciate the Emergency feature it has for drills and actual events. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The reports feature is very limited. We have developed our own spreadsheet to pull the data and work it so we get it to look in a way that helps us make decisions. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Hi Chad,
I agree- Encounter Prevention is a pretty rad feature! I've posted a link at the bottom so our review readers can learn more. Our support team grows stronger every time someone raves about them.
Better reporting is a common feature request. We're committed to delivering easy and useful reports in app. Please stay tuned!
I'm so happy SmartPass is helping increase student class time! Thanks for your review!

It's a bit expensive for smaller businesses Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
SmartPass has helped us transform our hallways. We are better able to track student movement and increase classroom instruction time. We have used it to strengthen student relationships by opening conversations about classroom avoidance and ways to grow and improve. Our entire school community loves this product.

I wish the app was better for Admin to be able to use as they're on the move constantly and it would be nice to look things up on the go. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Hi Kirsten,
"Smartpass has helped us transform our hallways." This is music to our ears! We're so happy SmartPass is making your hallways safer. I love that you're seeing increased instruction time because that leads to positive student outcomes!
We hear you on reports. This is something we will be working on so stay tuned!
SmartPass has made an incredibly positive impact on our campus climate. Our teachers are able to see who is out in the halls, monitor how frequently students are using the restroom or being out of class, and prevent encounters for students attempting to meet up. Admin are able to see records of how many minutes and how frequently students are out of class and limit passes for those taking advantage. It is overall a wonderful subscription that we use daily. It was very easy to integrate into our existing systems because of the Clever integration. Jennifer Porter has been fabulous for customer support and helped us figure out how to easily integrate a kiosk system for our teachers. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I would like to have separate limits for kinds of passes. For example, a limit for restroom and water passes, and another limit for trips to the office or to services such as counseling or speech. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Thank you for sharing your positive experience with SmartPass! We're glad to hear that it has been a valuable tool for monitoring student movement and preventing meetups. Thank you for your suggestion for separate limits for different types of passes, and we'll keep that in mind as we continue to improve our system. In the meantime, consider toggling "counts towards pass limits" off for some of those locations you do not wish to tally. We will pass along your appreciation to Jennifer as well!
The ability to track where students are supposed to be and to block students from being out of class at the same time is wonderful. The data of how many instructional minutes students are missing has been eye opening for both teachers and parents. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
We had some difficulty in getting accounts set up for subs but did get that worked out eventually. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
We're glad to hear that SmartPass has been helpful in improving the behavior and tracking of students in your school. We also agree, that missed class time data can really be eye opening! Thank you for your feedback about the substitute accounts, this is something on our radar to improve for our users!
It offers a great view of student time out of class! Accountability for where students are at is clear & easy to see!! The adaptability within the system. It is clear this was built by a practitioner and I LOVE that they listen to what changes and updates would be helpful in the school setting!!! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I would love to have a way to put timelines on student restrictions in the system that would automatically remove the restriction at the end of the timeline. (for example, student encounter prevention or 0 passes available for a set period of time) Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I love SmartPass. We can keep kids out of the halls and restrict passes for students who would not be together. We have data about how long students are out in the halls and we can also limit the number of passes students are given each day. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
When you restrict a pass, but then you actually want to meet with those kids but they aren't allowed to have a pass at the same time, it can present a problem. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Thank you for sharing your positive experience with SmartPass. We're pleased to hear that it has helped you streamline data and manage student movement effectively. Thank you for this feedback! In the time since your post we actually released a feature to allow admin, or teachers approved by admin, to override those preventions! You can find this where you setup your encounter preventions.
