What Users Love About the App
“I have happily used this software for the past 13 years! ASC Timetables has great online help, they answered all my queries about creating complex timetables with many variables, relationaships and constraints. It has a substitution program, too. That program is easy to use when teachers are absent because it has a notification system that informs them of anything via the app. There is an online webpage with permissions settings for users to access the timetables, as a parent/student or staff/admin. There is data collection of attendance for both staff and students. I have used their school webpage templates to set up our school website. I love that you can create great looking visual timetables for young students with symbols.”
“It reduces the time taken to substitute a teacher to classes when a particular teacher is absent. It automates the process.”
“I can use this to manage an educational system containing lots of time slots. Each slot can be represented by a variety of colors. It is very easy to access and edit.”
“By simply using the “drag and drop” feature, I can instantly see where I can move lessons to. The layout of the screen allows for an easy overview of the timetable. And I love the speed at which it gives an analysis of cost!”
“I was able to use ASC Timetable in my small, private school. I was able to manage all different grades/levels/accounts. Creating calendars is very easy and straight-toward. The program does everything for you, so you can focus on teaching!”
What Users Dislike About the App
“There is a gradebook and report writing software with the package, but I have found it difficult to customize to our school’s needs, despite communicating with the developers. We ended up using an alternative.”
“You need a bit of patience while dealing with this. Hurry burry may result in overlapping of slots.”
“It’s not very easy to export it as a .xls file (at least the version I had).”
“In this software, there are too many features so it is very tough to use every feature. There are also some errors with the auto generating feature.”
“We have two different timings for nursery and primary. We are unable to add the two different timetables into the same software.”
