How Mobile Apps can help Schools Win Parents' Confidence
Schools are where children spend a considerable amount of their time. Thus working parents, who cannot frequently visit the school in person, are highly dependent on effective communication from the educational institution, to keep them updated about children’s overall progress. Therefore the technology used by the school to ensure this, has effectively become one of the most important criteria in the selection of school.
Ensuring real-time communication is the key Although many schools have web interface for students and parents, they are not visited frequently owing to the extensive log in and loading time they consume. This is especially true if the website is not mobile friendly as most parents prefer easy access from their smart phones while on the go. This has warranted a shift to using quick and convenient mobile apps for schools and colleges to ensure real time communication with students as well as parents. Native app building companies like Appynitty Communications can provide personalized apps that can be up and live in no time at very affordable rates. Getting a self-branded mobile application for school ensures timely communication and transparency that helps build trust between the school and parents, which is of utmost importance. Appynitty’s StudyAppy can send dynamic push notifications about important academic notices to parents directly on their mobile, guaranteeing their visibility. It can also send real time updates about individual student’s results StudyAppy can even be integrated with the school’s cloud communication system and also help parents instantly connect with the school authorities with just one tap. Apart from this students as well as their guardians can provide feedback over school mobile app itself.
An app that is your brand ambassador StudyAppy is much more than just a communication mobile app for schools. It can be a one stop information source about school’s history, academic and extra-curricular achievements, its toppers, admission procedures and lots more.

School and college mobile apps can even showcase alumni success stories, which reinforce parents’ faith in the school’s ability to mould their children into successful individuals. This also helps attract prospective students seeking admission in the school.
