Thrillshare

The app is very easy to post updates from, but the ability to send Alert messages would make a wonderful addition. Customer support is always very helpful (thanks Elvie!).

Works great when on the go posts are a necessity for our school system.

My kids school uses this app and it won’t allow me to even create an account. Literally no matter what I do

Once upon a time, there was a school district that relied heavily on the Thrillshare app to communicate with parents and students. One day, the app started crashing every time a message was opened. The school district’s IT team tried everything they could think of to fix the issue, but nothing seemed to work. Parents and students were frustrated and communication between the school district and the community came to a standstill. As the days went by, the situation only got worse. The school district’s reputation began to suffer as parents and students became more and more dissatisfied with the lack of communication. The IT team worked around the clock to try to fix the issue, but it seemed like an impossible task. Unfortunately, the app was never fixed and communication between the school district and the community broke down completely. Parents and students were left in the dark about important events and announcements, and the school district’s reputation was irreparably damaged. The district was eventually forced to shut down due to a lack of enrollment, and the community was left without a school system.

We have been using Thrillshare in our school district for several years now. Thrillshare has saved us more time and hassle than I can even explain. It’s simplistic layout and design allows our team to focus on content. Having the ability to post news, photos, updates, etc. to all our socials at the same time is a game changer. We have recently set our teachers up as “moderated users,” (teacher access to post content) and this has enabled us to provide more content from the classroom than ever before. The new “Rooms” feature has streamlined all our teacher/parent communication issues. No more downloading multiple communication apps dependent on what your current teacher likes to use. “Rooms” has provided us the opportunity as a district to direct people back to our app, and our website. The new “Behavior” feature is being implemented in our entire K-6th Grade. The kids LOVE the ability to keep up with their behavior points and turn them in for cool rewards. Thrillshare has turned into the one stop shop for our district to accomplish so many of our needs. Their ability to provide updates that provide value will keep us using Thrillshare for the long haul. You’re missing out if you don’t give this app a chance!

I’m an elementary teacher and my district pushed this communication app for us to use. It’s not the best. I get that it’s still fairly new and bugs will happen. But it really does make it inconvenient and frustrating when communications from both teacher and parents’ end does get through. In elementary we also like to be cute and celebratory. Comparing it to ClassDojo, this app is just plain boring and have a very “corporate” feel.

Not let me sigh in for my kid school

Won’t let me log in . It states that I have to use the app and that’s what I’m using to log in

Network connection always times out. Not impressed. Broadcast messages have no select all function. Not student friendly.

The app crashes every time I click on the settings button. I wish our district stuck with Dojo.
