Ratings and reviews

As a student, I can confidently say that managebac is one of THE WORST apps I have ever used for schoolwork. It is set up in a way that is incredibly difficult to navigate, forcing the user to click through several different areas just to see ONE ASSIGNMENT. This is coupled with the fact that every teacher has the freedom to organize their section as they wish, which, in theory sounds nice right? WRONG. Since every teacher's class layout is different, it makes checking work even harder. Horrible

ManageBac is absolutely the worst platform that I have ever used in my student life. It is absolutely abysmal. Super slow, crazy low file size limit for uploading (we must add videos for our CAS experiences but it just won't let us), incredibly slow upload speeds and an extremely unintuitive UI. Not to mention the overwhelming amount of bugs and glitches that happen literally every single time I try to use this. These bugs really do hinder my work for the IB program. Horrendous experience

the app has unnecessarily overcomplicated cybersecurity and works slowly. Accesing your classes and lessons is difficult and tedious. The whole app is very slow and stutters a lot, a lot of buttons don't work either

What’s new

This update introduces a fully mobile-optimized experience for recording both Homeroom and Classroom Attendance, designed to save time and provide a user-friendly experience.
With just one tap, teachers can mark students’ attendance and add a comment. The three-dot menu on any student card opens a bottom popover, where you can select from additional attendance statuses. The attendance status, attendance excusals, and comments are visible at a glance, directly from the attendance page.
