About this app

Homeroom is an easy way to share what's happening in your classroom with your students' parents. Upload your photos safely to private classroom albums only parents and teachers can see, away from social media and the internet.


Open up your classroom:
• Show & tell: Parents can see all the fun their kids are having
• Simple: Share photos quickly and easily

Show your perspective:
• Break it down: Build an album for each class
• Collaborate: Anyone who teaches a class can add to its album

Get parents involved:
• Start conversations: Parents can add comments and like photos
• Stay notified: Everyone gets alerts when new things appear


How it works:
1. Create: Make one or more albums for your homeroom
2. Invite: Send invitations to your kids' parents
3. Share: Post photos and videos of your students learning


Homeroom helps you connect with parents:
• Keep it private: Photos, videos, and comments are only visible to the people you invite
• Apps for everyone: Access Homeroom through gorgeous mobile apps and the web
• Relevant notifications: Parents only get notifications for their kids' classes

Ratings and reviews

This is one negative star! First you can't upload more then 15 pictures at a time - well surprise there's more then 15 children in a class! It would be fine if it worked and you could add another 15. But no, cosider yourself lucky if you can post anything at all. Likely, you will be in the loop of trying to share pics watch it "processing" and counting procerantages, all leading to Nothing. Printing and mailing would be faster way to share images. Certainly easier and more reliable.

I use this app for my center, and nobody with a Samsung phone can upload photos. We have to take the time to email them to ourselves, then post from a computer, which is a huge waste of time, when it should only take a quick second from the app. It doesn't matter if we try to upload from the photos app or the Homeroom app itself. It will let you put in the caption, but when you click to upload them, they just disappear.

Good App, however I am having difficulty posting pictures. It started over the last couple of months. I use this app for my classroom parent connection. It was working great until the last couple of months. My phone is a galaxy note plus 10 and it says it is compatible. The issue seems to be uploading photos to our class album. Some days it works great and other times it will not upload. I am frustrated and hoping someone may know how to help. My parents love being connected to our class.
