I have been the coordinator for my kids’ school directory since our school started using MobileArq in 2012. It has been a wonderful resource for the families in our school — so much so that our district adopted MobileArq for the directories for all 5 schools in our district this year. Switching between schools (if you have children in more than one school) in the directory is seamless. The owner of the directory is incredibly accommodating and helpful and constantly improving the directory.
I would like to respond specifically to some of the points in Madisonmom2119’s review. First, the directory owner has never stated that the directory is an app. She added it to the App Store to help those who wanted a really easy way to have the directory bookmarked on their phones. Second, It is not the directory owner’s fault that parents do not put their information into the system. Most parents do, but it is true that not all do. That is the fault of those parents and the district, NOT the directory owner. Third, have never had a problem with the “remember me” way of logging into the directory.
Finally, when our school signed up with MobileArq, it was not due to a personal relationship. We did not know each other prior to MobileArq coming to my attention when we were looking for an online directory for our school. I have found the directory owner to be a lovely, helpful, kind person, which is a bonus, but not why we signed up with MobileArq.
Our directory is easy to use and its features are always being updated. The support desk is extremely helpful and efficient. I have no reservations in recommending this directory to any school looking to go paperless!
