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

Seldom do I find myself so inclined to offer feedback. That said, the majority of my feedback serves to celebrate the diligence of app developers. Alas, this instance is anything but. What exactly possessed the powers that be to interfere with a smooth running interface for the sole purpose of dragging thousands of students through technological hell will forever escape me. A wax tablet would be a more effective method of documenting my outstanding tasks. Enjoy the dining experience.

The app has gotten much better since its release. No more buffering icons for more than a few seconds, and tasks can be marked as done properly. Only issue is that when viewing descriptions of tasks, it has to open the web broswer and go to the actual website. This takes a little while to load and it'd be more convenient for it to just be displayed in the app.

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.
