About this app

Does your school use Firefly 6? If so, the Firefly for Students app is your go to place to check on homework and your timetable.


Simply log in using your school code (your teacher can give you this!) and see your complete timetable, including which teacher you have and where each lesson is. Your teachers can send you homework or other tasks, which will be sorted so you’ll always be on top of what you need to do. If you like, you can add your own tasks and link them to a specific class, creating a personal to do list.


Firefly for Students lets you:

- Access your timetable, anywhere
- Stay on top of homework
- Keep a personal, organised to do list
- Respond to homework by sending files, photos, video and audio
- Get notified instantly when your teachers set homework
- Use Firefly on an app or desktop, as they both stay up to date


Log in just once and you’re set to go.


This app requires Firefly 6, please check with your school if they are using this version.

Ratings and reviews

One of the most horrible educational apps I've used. It lacks many of the features of the desktop site, such as viewing your profile, and it's basically a reskinned browser, you can't even look at a task description without it opening in Chrome, because they apparently don't know how to use their own API. Recently, the app started crashing when I opened it. I emailed support, they asked me for further details and when I provided them they've just ignored me for weeks.

Quite a few major features don't even work? Trying to filter tasks more than just the read/to do/marked will make the app crash, and you can't even upload files to tasks from the app. If you then go onto the website through the app, navigate to the task you are looking for, and upload the file there, it just takes you back to the app after you close the file upload window.

Buggy Mess. The app works as intended occasionally, but too many times I cannot view task descriptions or comments teachers have left. Even if I get a notification that a teacher has left a comment, the comment does not appear on the task page. I can NEVER upload files or photos to tasks through the app and so always have to do so online. Timetable sometimes glitches out and does not display lessons correctly. And most annoying of all, sometimes it won't even let me mark tasks as done!

What’s new

4.2.6 allows access to Quick Links from within the app, and some bug fixes.
