    Hi folks

    I need an app that lets parents see kids progress such as exam results and teacher comments in real time.

    What does your school use? Do you recommend it? easy to use? downloadable?

    I don´t mind if it´s free or a subcription based one as long as customisation is minimal and ease of use for teachers, parents is simple.

    thanks for any feedback.

    Unlikely that you will find any app used for the entirety of that age range .

    Class dojo is a good enough tool for primary, parents can link in with that. You'd probably have to check if the GDPR is in line with your school's policy, but I'd imagine if you got parents permission that would suffice.

    Classting would cover from juniors to college age but I haven't used it so can't attest to its value. https://oauth.classting.com/v1/oauth2/sign_up/teacher?client_id=078b740b0390682197218af33e46b8a0&response_type=code&redirect_uri=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.classting.com%2Foauth_callback&backUrl=%2Fv1%2Foauth2%2Fauthorize&continue_url=&lang=en

    Again, you'd definitely want to make sure you're GDPR compliant with your school before using it.
