It is very convenient to use for learners who are new in the platform. Pros School Diary offer variety of features which are bery convenient to use. Some features that I found so user-friendly are the calendars and reminders for school events and the unified payment. I can consider this as a one-stop application for every parent for their children. Cons On my first use of the app, I had experienced some bugs and UI problems, but it was already fixed. I wish this app could also have automatic grading for worded answers. Review source Non-incentivized review: any software user can leave a review for any product listed on our site.

Will be good to have that as a feature rather than having to request the product team. Review source Non-incentivized review: any software user can leave a review for any product listed on our site.
