## Description

SubAlert for Frontline Ed delivers instant substitute job alerts for Frontline Education Absence Management.

## Review summary

Users praise SubAlert for fast, direct booking and multi-channel alerts at a low cost, helping them snag substitute jobs. However, there are persistent reliability and speed issues, with Frontline occasionally beating SubAlert to postings and jobs vanishing quickly. Glitches and error messages, plus missing features like a calendar view and ongoing updates, are common complaints. Overall, it’s a valuable tool for many, but performance and maintenance appear inconsistent.
