SmartFind Express App Comments & Reviews

SmartFind Express Positive Reviews

It works sometimesThis app is not the greatest and the website is just as fickle. It is a good resource though when it is working : to see available jobs and their locations, view your active jobs and check in as well as check out, and see your completed/finished jobs. I like that it does give you the option to filter results and view any instructions if left by the school or teacher. The website is faster and more responsive. I’ve experienced with this app though that it does not load completely , my active and finished jobs list will be empty the entire day up until 20 minutes before shift starts and if it’s still empty I must use the website to login and check in. I don’t like the loading speed of the app either but it does populate with available jobs if you wait for the loading circle to disappear. I do not take calls from smart express - I solely use the app to schedule my shifts and when it’s time to check in , If I can’t on the app, I use the website..Version: 23.2.3

So hard to log in! Updated after a year of use.I don’t understand why I would need to log in literally every single day on this app. It’s terrible. And the constant phone calls and voicemails. This should be streamlined and not something that takes several minutes each time to log in. I love subbing but I hate using this system. One year later: it’s still terrible. My school system is now using rapid id to login and I have to keep accepting permission FROM THE APP to use it. Then it has multiple screens to input login information. How is that any more user friendly than before? You should have a system in place that will remember login information on trusted devices. I should be able to see more than a certain date in the future on the list, I shouldn’t need to comb through the calendar view to see all the dates for jobs that are in the future. As someone who can’t work spontaneously the day of because I have to schedule childcare this is a terrible system that prevents me from working as much as I would like to. I literally would never see the jobs in advance..Version: 23.2.3

No Heads up for Grade Level at ESThis app is great to locate and submit jobs you may want to accept. It can be potluck though. If it’s ES though, you won't known if it’s 1st or 5th. If early ed is not your forte that could be an issue. Also when I used to submit a request for a guest teacher( aka sub=sub sandwich?=subpar? Hate that name!) I would attach the plans so a guest teacher could preview the plans the night before. So on a computer at least you find the name of the teacher, but still no available plans. On the app you won’t get the name of the teacher or a plan to preview. This may not matter to everyone but it does for many..Version: 23.2.3

Good resource that adds clarityIt’s helpful to be able to track down positions as a Substitute Teacher, but the app could be more streamlined; currently, I can select specific schools under Locations on the web page, but not on the app (The only option that shows up is All Locations). A map of the area and available positions would be a fantastic upgrade to better understand travel times associated with the particular position one is looking at relative to our respective home neighborhoods. The loading times for active jobs are about as painful as the cutscenes for the remake of Chrono Trigger on the PS1..Version: 23.2.3

Not remotely user friendlyThis app could not be any more frustrating! It takes forever to load and 80% of the time I’m receiving an “Unexpected Exception” message and the available jobs won’t display for hours (the website is just as bad). Whatever changes or updates they made really messed things up. Go back to the old format; at least it was reliable. Other subs are also having similar issues. I have tried everything! Updating to the newest versions on my phone, uninstalling and reinstalling, etc. and nothing is working. Ugh! :(.Version: 21.10.1

Works but needs enhancementsWhile the app works well for finding substitute jobs, it can be improved. First, make the filter selections permanent so the user doesn’t have to select them every time after logging in. Second, enable notifications so jobs fitting the user’s criteria/filter selections can automatically be sent via text or email. Third, it often takes several seconds to conduct a new search, so the user has to wait for the system to reset. This also should be corrected if possible..Version: 22.9.0

Poor UsabilityI agree it’s frustrating to use on your phone. It won’t load all the jobs available at once and makes you scroll up and wait 5 seconds before trying to scroll down and load more jobs. Before I figured out this hack I spent hours frustrated that I could only see jobs coming up immediately and could only get jobs for say May to load sometimes before the system kicks you out, makes you re-login and start all over again at the top of the list trying to load jobs future months. You need a filter by date function as well as location and teacher..Version: 23.2.3

Whew…this is so much better!The mobile app is so much better than the old one. The only thing is we were without a working app since the roll out of iOS8 and the new app is ONLY surpassed by the laptop/desktop version. Good job! Is it perfect? No, there is always room for improvement. I think the functionality of this app could be expanded (thus increasing it’s value) using current technologies, to make our jobs easier, especially when it comes to the increase in security since the tragedy in Uvalde. Thank you..Version: 22.9.0

Needs UpdatingBeen trying to log on all morning for teaching jobs I have lined up this upcoming week. Continue getting an Error message that says “ERROR: Please update your version of SFE Mobile.” However, there isn’t an update available. I have restarted my phone numerous times and deleted and reinstalled the app. That has not worked. I’ve been using the app for a year, so I know it’s not user error. Prior to this, the app has been great. But they need to fix this issue asap. Thanks..Version: 22.9.0

It works better than a person callingI like this better than a person calling. It could use some improvement. One, it needs to tell what grade or subject a teacher is as that helps me know if I want to sub for them. Two, the repeated phone calls for an open position is obnoxious. One text is plenty as I am not able to know ASAP if I am available when I get a phone call. Three, the wait time for searches on the app is also annoying. Four, it would be nice to block out certain dates I know I am unavailable..Version: 24.1.1

Super helpful, could be even betterThis app is the only tool I use for jobs and I sub every day. It’s easy to use and has some great features. I love the calendar, but it could be even better by going back to show past jobs as well. That would make double checking my paychecks so much easier. I don’t love that I have to refresh it constantly. I’m stalking that thing all day, every day. I would love to get an instant push notification when there’s a new job..Version: 22.3.0

Check In/OutI enjoy using SmartFind - generally. However, I have one major concern. Specifically , the checkin and finish job feature have issues. ThThere needs to be improvements within this system. Moreover, when I enter my check in time, it seems to change automatically some point later. It is critical that I always chk my hours by the weekend. Pls try to improve this feature of SmartFind. Thank you ..Version: 22.9.0

Could be improved with some key featuresWould love to see the following features: - access to full settings available on desktop - ability to sync with google calendar to instantly set unavailable dates and to add assignments to my personal calendar - ability to ask questions about an assignment within the app - ability to only get app notifications and no phone calls.Version: 22.9.0

On the fritz?Typically this app doesn’t give me too many problems. Aside from taking a while to load… But today, for some reason none of my active jobs show on the app, despite the fact that I know I have jobs for this week, and it’s only registering the press of my finger for a certain sections of the app. For example, I’ve tried updating my schedule availability, but when I press the Save option… It doesn’t register it at all, but it seems to be perfectly fine with me exiting out of the page so that I can go back to another section of the app without having saved the changes I made in the first place. Anyone else having this issue? I have been on top of updating the app and I do have the most recent iOS on my mobile devices… I don’t know if maybe that might be part of the issue or not but…?.Version: 22.9.0

Helpful App for substitute teachersThank you very much for this app. It helps the guest teachers to choose the job they can do or they are interested in. At this time I couldn’t think of any suggestions to improve the app. However, as I use mire, I will definitely contribute providing feedback on how to improve. Thank you very much and I really enjoy using this app which is very convenient and time saving! Thanks, Sangita.Version: 21.7.2

Don’t receive the job offersIt is frustrating that when you booked for a job I don’t see the other available options for the same day/time in case i want to change the job or location etc, i have to cancel the accepted job first to see the other available jobs for the same day/time, please correct/improve this fault, thanks.Version: 22.5.0

A sub’s best friendWhat’s great about this app is everything you need to stay organized is right here in one place: a calendar, new job offerings, jobs you’ve accepted, plus everything you need to know about each job assignment. No more post-it’s or other ways of keeping track of your week. If you’re a busy substitute teacher like me, you’ll love this app and all its practical features..Version: 21.8.1

Works okay but could use some improvements.The app works great for picking jobs. It’s simple and straightforward. However, my only issue is with the phone calls. If your call availability is set for a certain time period expect to be called frequently and often back to back. You can however set no call availability and accept jobs whenever you browse what’s available. The only issue is that if a teacher requests you it will not call you or give you a notification. If you enjoy working with a specific teacher it’s far easier to communicate through phone and instead have then assign you to the position directly rather than you accepting through the program..Version: 22.5.0

UghFrustrating. Can’t find “help” feature. Want to change filter for date range. It defaults to a two week range and I need to plan me life out further than two weeks. I constantly have a problem with this. Also, if I cancel a job I would like a field to write a reason other than the list given, or even an “other” choice..Version: 22.9.0

Not terribleThere are some annoying bits. It doesn’t always let you look for specific schools that you want to work for. Schools frequently have a hard time finding me via my ID number, and It takes a really long time to load. With that said, it works on an iPhone 6 and it does the job it’s meant to do you just have to be patient. Look for work while you’re making coffee or loading the washer and eventually it’ll open. :).Version: 22.9.0

Latest update is a downgrade!***Update Sunday evening 12/17. App finally seems to be working! We're back in business! App was more user friendly than the site, other than the app calendar not showing my dates off. (Please fix that and it will be perfect!) Since this latest update I can no longer access the app data, it just keeps reloading in full site form..Version: 23.12.3

Waited four years for this SmartFind Express appThey should have created a SmartFind Express app a long time ago. It is much faster than logging in on the website. I would suggest some updates or a faster notification when each job assignment appears so that we do not have to rely on checking the website every single time..Version: 21.8.1

Missing featuresIt would be nice if the app would have the feature where we can search for assignments and not just seeing the active/non active and past assignments. At the end, what is the true purpose of this app that will only take up space in my phone and it only works for seeing assignments that are active, past ones, and canceled one. It also have the options to cancel an assignment which is good thing..Version: 22.9.0

Missing some optionsI would like the ability to email or text the contact to ask questions before I accept. An interested button would be nice to allow for the questions to be answered before I accept or to signal school to reach out to me. Some days I could be available for a partial shift and I would like to be able to easily communicate that interest within the app..Version: 23.2.3

Substitute TeacherApp needs to offer an area that gives only a start and end day. This app “makes” you start and end a break….even if you didn’t get one! I worked with Autistic Kindergarten students for two days in a row. I didn’t have a break. I sat with them at their lunch table to help open their containers, drinks, etc…. I also had to constantly get up and chase two children to bring them back to our lunch table..Version: 22.7.3

Bien mais à améliorerL’application est très pratique sauf qu’il faut tout le temps rafraîchir pour voir des nouveaux postes parfois il faut supprimer l’application et la réinstaller pour qu’elle fonctionne.Version: 23.2.3

All functions availabilityWould be convenient and user friendly to be able to access all functions here and not have to get into ESS for some settings..Version: 23.11.7

Doesn’t Know AvailabilityThe app will suggest jobs for days that I have listed as unavailable..Version: 24.4.1

Text sizeYour app does not work well if text size is larger in phone settings. Info at bottom of screen is not accessible… accept and decline buttons often not appearing on screen..Version: 24.1.1

Pas fiableJe n’obtiens pas les mêmes résultats qu’une collègue. Elle a des postes disponibles tandis que je n’ai aucune tâche de disponible! Nous sommes dans le même Conseil scolaire. La seule différence c’est que son application est en anglais et moi en français….Version: 23.12.3

Features requestFeatures I would like include - iCalendar integration so that the schedule can be imported and updated with I calendar and/or automatic integration with Google calendar so it can be imported that way to the phone..Version: 23.2.3

Won’t keep school district savedSince the last update, the app no longer saves the school districts! It’s making me request it every time! Not convenient!.Version: 23.11.7

Fix SFE systemSet up email and password on Smart find express. Not need code Thanks.Version: 23.2.3

SlowIt takes usually a long time to open, so I cannot check available jobs on time..Version: 23.2.3

Please update the appOh my gosh, can you please update the app, 5:30pm rolls around and the app is incredibly slow and crashes. This makes it quite the ordeal trying to pick up teaching assignments. Don’t get me wrong, love the app, but it’s clearly not well designed to support x number of teachers logging on at the same time….Version: 23.2.3

Educational AssistantVery convenient and user friendly. Don’t have to sign in again and again..Version: 23.2.3

Reset ?Great app . Maybe I’m missing something but I feel I have to exit the app and restart it to get new listings . What am I doing wrong ?.Version: 23.2.3

Please utilize the available section in my school district.This app tells me what jobs I have completed but my school district isn’t using the app to its full extent by listing available positions. They are still calling out, in the phone, the positions as they become available. As a relief worker it is not convenient and I have no idea what schools are in need of help in advance. If they listed the shifts I would be able to go to the schools that are closer to my location and more suitable for the grade level I am interested in working with. It would also be less annoying than getting calls all evening and morning..Version: 23.2.3

ConvenientVery convenient way to pick up supply jobs while away from my computer, however it would be nice to have a teacher function to create absences. I still have to log into a browser to do that..Version: 22.9.0
