"This is hands down the best application on the market in terms of making sure parents and staff understand where students are at any given time during the day.

It also has done a great job of expanding into buy-in areas for students such as having event sign-ups inside the application. Having parent accounts also does a great job of keeping lines of communication open between the parents, school, and students.
