Follett Notifications for Android
It's a great app to stay up to date with assignments, but it needs more interaction. One annoying thing is you have to manually delete notifications one by one. This can be tedious especially at the start of the new year because there are a bunch of old notifications from previous years.There needs to be a clear all option. Notifications should also show what class it is for.
I thought I could use this to check my children's grades and assignments--but no. It's just for notifications, and our district doesn't send many out. The district I teach at uses Power School, which has a fabulous mobile app for students and parents. I wish my children's district used Power School instead of this clunky and limited Aspen system.
All it does is notifications. For your schedule or info, this is useless. Also, even the notifications don't show which class they came from. For things named for example "Final Exam" it would be nice to know which class the grade is for.
Needs to be like powerschool! You should be able to have a parent login for every child! Notificationso are hard to get when you have to login with each child! Easier to login on website so really doesn't help to only be able to receive notificationso from 1 child. Very disappointed!
I recently had to reinstall this app & am now unable to log on. I have verified my password, school url and user name but can't access aspen via this app. A shame, because I enjoyed it.
Receive notifications from your school's Follett system? OK but don't expect anything else. Managing notices consists entirely of viewing individual notices and deleting one or more notices. If installed on a new device all notices get downloaded whether you want them all or not; I just received over 400 notices from the previous academic year. Only way to get rid of them was to select each one individually until all are selected (there's no select - all feature) then do a bulk delete.
Unable to view multiple students at one time only one account must you log out and log back in with new account for additional students. Excellent otherwise notified for every quiz or grade change
I just installed the app, but what is the point of only receiving notifications. At least the website allows you to view everything. Plus, when you have 2 children in different schools, it seems almost impossible to have both. Will probably be uninstalling shortly.
You should be able to swipe to delete notifications. Changed my password and all the old notifications came back and had to delete one by one.
Nothing to say
Useless
nice
Really bad
Under the calendar, it would be much more productive if the parent(s) received the assignment due dates PRIOR to the actual day the assignments are due! This app is much better than the nonexistent one when I was in my child's grade.
To all the haters, IT IS SUPPOSED TO DO NOTIFICATIONS ONLY!!!
Awsome
It's a great app to stay up to date with assignments, but it needs more interaction and needs to be more user friendly.
login button doesn't work
I have 4 children 2 in school right now and I wish there was a way to put 2 kids on instead of just 1.
After putting in the x2 aspen log on address and the correct info for login, the app recognizes my acount, but doesnt send any notifications.
I used this last school year 2014-2015 and worked perfectly. Tried to login for this school year and it is not finding the right URL.
It's a great idea but lacks details in the notification itself. Doesn't say what class the grade was for. If you have more than one student in the same school it only gives notification for one of them. I still use the app everyday and am thankful to have it. Hopefully it gets improvements in the future and it will be perfect.
Haven't gotten a single one
I get my grades but I have 8 classes what class is this assignment from and what's my grade in that class right after I get whatever grade I need to know the grade book average constantly and this app doesn't show it
They don't say what subject the grade is for!
Chill chill, I rate a chill 9/11.
Really wanted this to work
add more features

It did not fricken work
This app is terrible. I deleted a bunch of stuff to get it and it doesn't even work
Its an ok app... It needs to give more info in the notifications such as what class the grade is for. Also i have just started getting notifications of another child's grades, i do not know this child. I do not want my child's grades shared with anyone else
Life is hectic and the last thing high school kids want to talk about is their grades and their classes, even when they make decent grades! This app keeps me informed and let's me give my kids a heads up when they receive a low score and helps me praise them for high grades...
Good tool. Notifies me whenever teachers post grades. It would earn additional stars by (1) allowing us to add more than one student, (2) identify the class subject in the notification and (3) let me email the teacher posting the grade directly from the notification.
I have to kids. Haven't found a way to have both of there's together
I don't like it

It hasn't crashed or anything, but it is really lacking. When my kids were in the same school, I received notifications for both of them. Now that they are in different schools that both use seperate Follett accounts, I can only get notifications for one child. Then there's the problem with the notifications themselves. If I want more info, I need to open my browser and log into the X2 portal to see that. It would be better if tapping the notification brought me right to the site or something.
