21. Mobile apps
The same information in a parent's pocket. The app signs in against the school's own system and carries that school's name, badge and colour — a parent opens their school, not a generic application.
| Platform | Status | How it is delivered |
|---|---|---|
| Android | Available | Installed from a file the school shares, or from Google Play once the school's listing is live. |
| iOS (iPhone / iPad) | In development | Built from the same code; released through the App Store when review is complete. Parents on iPhone should use the portal in Safari meanwhile. |
What a parent can do in the app
- See each child's attendance for the month, and the day's status.
- Read results once the school publishes them, subject by subject.
- See challans, what is paid, what is owed, and the breakdown of a bill.
- Read the school's notices.
- Raise a complaint and read the school's reply.
- Switch between children where a family has more than one at the school.
What staff can do in the app
- Look a student up and see their profile and fee position.
- Take a fee payment at the counter or at a school event.
- Mark a class register from a phone.
- See the day's collection and the school's headline figures.
Installing on Android
- The school shares the app file, or a link to it.
- Open it on the phone. Android will ask once for permission to install from that source — allow it.
- Open the app and sign in with the email and password the school issued.
One app, many schools
Each school's app is built against that school's own address, so a parent only ever sees their own school's data. The look follows the colour set on the campus record, so no new version is needed to brand it.
