The last update is not giving notifications in a timely manner. Last year, no problems getting jobs. They were on time & I changed my preferences many times without a problem. But, by the time I get them this year, they are long gone - esp for full time jobs! THEN I changed my preferences last week, saved them & suddenly, all Labor Day weekend…not a notification at all! So, I checked online yesterday, & my mouth dropped open in shock. My entire district had been completely wiped out! Not 1 checkmark was on it. And I check & double check ANYTIME I change something. I was flabbergasted. However, not one Support check mark had been checked off! So, just this afternoon, I was at a job, and my husband told me the app had stopped working but my paid app was still picking up jobs. Sure enough, I tried it, and it isn’t working! You sign-in and it either just stays on the purple screen, or if you’re lucky to get to the sign-in screen, it just runs and runs & does not ever sign-in! This is getting old. I’m on my 2nd year, and it’s not working.

I don’t get alerts for jobs. If I do it is only after a job has been sitting unfilled for 20 minutes. Another substitute I work with and I were working together and she was getting alerts all day. We compared her app (different than frontline) to this one and I got alerts 15-20 minutes after her app alerted her. I realized frontline only sent me alerts for jobs that had been sitting unfilled that no one wanted/picked up. While she got the alerts when they posted. That explains why I have days that I can’t find sub work and I lose money, it’s because I thought alerts were being sent to me as soon as a teacher requested a sub only to find out the subs with other apps were getting alerts way before me so I don’t stand a chance using Frontline. I even delete delete and redownload the app several times a week to see if that helps it but it only works for like a day and after that I’m back to late or no notifications. You aren’t supposed to delete and redownload an app every 2-3 days for it to function like it’s supposed to, that’s a waste of time and ridiculous.

The app is great except it should show that hours for the job on the front page. Currently, it just says the start time. If I am looking for a half day job, I have to click on every job to find out if it goes all day or not. That is why I often use the website rather than the app. On the website, I can see all relevant information without having to click on every single job to find out the details. Also, teachers should be encouraged to leave notes about the job. I see many SDC jobs go uncovered. In many cases this may be attributed to the the fact that a sub may feel unqualified to LEAD this class (not knowing the students and their needs). However, we may be perfectly comfortable being an extra set of eyes and hands. Drama, music, dance, ROTC jobs would also be more desirable if the teachers explained that no knowledge in these fields are necessary. Finally, I wish I could filter results to one day etc. This may be an option and I just don’t know about it but it would be nice to have more filter options.
