User Reviews

Users praise Red Rover K12 for its ease of use and ability to find and manage substitute shifts, but recurring issues include unreliable push notifications, awkward cancellation flows, and timekeeping/calendaring glitches. Improvements to notification reliability, filtering, and time capture would help; still, the app’s clean design and district-focused workflow make it valuable for subs and teachers.
Pros
  • Easy to use and navigate with a clear, simple layout.
  • Efficient for finding and managing substitute teaching shifts.
  • Notifies users quickly about new job opportunities (instant alerts when functioning).
  • Widely used by districts and helpful for coordinating assignments.
  • Provides clear details about assignments (location, dates, expectations).
Cons
  • Push notifications are unreliable: delays, duplicates, or missing, causing missed jobs.
  • Cancellation/acceptance flow can be awkward: jobs fill quickly after alerts and cancel controls are inconsistent or unavailable.
  • Timekeeping features can be inaccurate: clock-in/out mismatches and conflicting timesheets.
  • Calendar synchronization is flaky: events sometimes don’t sync promptly or disappear.
  • Alert filtering is limited: you can’t consistently filter to only preferred schools, leading to unnecessary notifications.

I am unable to set my preferences, under Assignments to Favorites and make it stay. Every time the app closes, it goes back to default. Also, by the time I get the alert, the sub request is unavailable… I’m opening up the app the moment it goes off… are the open assignments sent out all at once or does it go to folks at different times. I’m new to this and find it very frustrating. I’d rather get text messages AND app notifications, but in order to get text I have to delete the app. Seems counterintuitive!

Wish Red River would let me choose specific grades & subjects for subbing. Also would be nice to pick up multiple days for same teacher. Red River lists individual days, while I select one, the other 3 are taken by different subs.
