Satchel One 4+

I like most people use my phone for most things and that includes looking at assignments. On the old app this was perfectly fine and you could look back on all the assignments you had in the past which is really helpful if you missed something from ages ago that wasn’t super important so you don’t catch up on it right away. However now in a recent ish update the only way you can view tasks from a long time ago or not immediately due within the next two weeks is by going onto a computer and logging into satchel through there. This is incredibly irritating if you have a huge project with a due date months away because you then can’t quickly remind yourself about the details of the task the teacher has set you have to log onto a computer and look through there. This wouldn’t be so irritating if they didn’t change it from being perfectly good to now this system of only seeing tasks a few weeks ahead or behind on the app, i simply cannot understand why they would make this change. Why would you remove features from your app. Furthermore because of this two week period if you have overdue tasks for more than this timeframe they also disappear so then you don’t know what you’re behind on because it checks itself off after a certain period of time. Very irritating for long time users who know how good it used to be.

I have a number of frustrations with Satchel One including that you have no comments or ideas page on your website Below are options/improvements I would like to see in the software: - Options with type and frequency of notifications, eg when something is due and hasn’t been completed - but not getting notifications for when an item is set, or notifications when it is classwork as opposed to homework. - A better completed button for students to mark items -rather than just hiding items. - Option for students to have a separate feed for classwork items - More options to set personal reminders or task/project milestones - Ability to colourise or set notifications on items - Alternate ways to sort and filter items - Option to load work against a task - even if the teacher doesn’t want it submitted online - Option for student to give permission to a parent to mark an item as completed and assist with the upkeep and maintenance of their Satchel One account - Filters for subject and searching them, both completed and outstanding tasks

Ok, this app is decently fab-u-lous. I love how easy it is to use and the details it has. It says how long the homework is until it is due, tells you who see the homework and what subject, has things included such as the extra details and what to do with a title by your teachers. You can write some things on the class chat where the students and teachers can see it and answer any questions you may want to ask your teachers or for fellow students to answer if they know it. You can even message your parents directly, which is often more likely to receive a response. I do use Microsoft Teams for messaging both students and parents, which is sent quicker, but that is besides the point. I like how easy it is and the Show My Homework detail is the only one I use, but I have heard other things about it. As a student at school, I am thankful that we are not challenged with remembering homework tasks set in my mind, which could easily be forgotten without Satchel One. I overall suggest this app majorly to all schools because of the easily accessible and available resources on there, working on pretty much all devices.
