## Description

KiNVO by Kinvolved

Kinvolved’s mobile and web app, KiNVO, brings simple attendance data to life. With KiNVO, schools see smart attendance data and can effectively engage families through two-way text messaging. 

Features include: 

Attendance: 
- Record attendance by swiping students names left or right, marking them absent or late
- Record reasons for absenteeism and minutes late
- Save your attendance record and/or send a text message, email, or phone call to parents about absenteeism/lateness in multiple languages 
- Customize the message you send to parents about absenteeism or lateness

Communication: 
- Real-time, two-way translation of all messages enables teachers and parents to communicate regardless of parent language preference
- View your classroom or school-wide directory of students with parent contact information (phone numbers, emails, language preference, role)
- Mass message parent contacts, or send individual messages to parent contacts, receive replies from parents within the app (Note: Your personal phone number or email address is never shared by KiNVO by Kinvolved. When a parent contact receives a message from KiNVO it is from a KiNVO phone number or email address.)
- Send customized, pre-written templates 
- Tag message topics as positive or needs improvement

## Review summary

Kinvo is valued for real-time, direct communication with families, two-way messaging with translation, and the ability to avoid using personal phone numbers. Users praise its ease of use and time savings for attendance and classroom management. However, feedback repeatedly highlights reliability issues: push notifications and badges often don’t appear, inbox messages fail to load, and the app frequently crashes. Additional drawbacks include a portrait-only interface on iPad and long gaps between updates. Fixing notification reliability and stability would align Kinvo with the strong communication features users rely on.
