User reviews
Im updating my review. Red Rover not only fixed the bugs but called me personally to let me know it was fixed. Great customer service and easy to use app.
Just downloaded it. Yet to put into practice, but this app seems Very simple and gets the job done. Nice.
Edit 1/14/21 - if you're having issues with Red Rover, contact their developers. They have excellent customer support and will get back to you to address the issue right away! My previous issues were cleared up in a day by their helpful staff. I am now getting regular notifications as I was before the update.. Thank...
Working great! Issues that arose early on were resolved quickly! Enjoying using this app to schedule jobs.
Easier to use than AESOP with more information available.
Great app for K-12 substitute teachers! I love the new update where I can choose to accept or dismiss the job right from the notification!
