Parent Engagement Platform SimplyCircle Enhances Web App and Launches iPad App

LOS ALTOS, Calif., Jan. 8, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- Popular parent communication and engagement platform SimplyCircle announces major enhancements to its web app and launches an iPad app.

"Ever since our launch 4 years ago, we've listened closely to our customers – teachers, principals and PTA leaders. The new features and apps we're announcing today are in direct response to their feedback. They wanted to be able to use SimplyCircle on their iPads, to be able to search the News feed, to download the list of volunteers who signed up for a school fundraiser, and more. We listened, and we delivered on all of these requests," says Dr. Elena Krasnoperova, Founder and CEO of SimplyCircle.

SimplyCircle announces major enhancements to its web app. Now teachers and parents can:

• Search News Feed by topic, author or keyword – saving them time
• Add longer comments to posts – allowing for a richer group discussion
• Get real-time in-app notifications for new or updated content – alerting them to news faster
• Contact customer support from within the app – getting help when they need it

Teachers and parent leaders now also have expanded administrative capabilities. They can:

• Download the list of volunteers who signed up for a given event or task, like a school fundraiser – making their job easier
• Edit and delete comments posted by their group members – giving them more editorial control
• Import a public Google calendar once, and have it sync automatically with SimplyCircle – so when the public school calendar changes, that change is instantly reflected on SimplyCircle

SimplyCircle has been available on the iPhone and Android platforms for several years, and now adds an iPad app to its suite of mobile products. All of SimplyCircle's mobile apps remain completely free to use, for both teachers and parents. They also remain ad-free, which keeps the focus where it belongs – on enhancing communication between school and parents, without any distractions.

In addition, SimplyCircle announces that it completed major software and hardware upgrades to accommodate the dramatic growth spurt that it experienced during the 2017-18 Back to School season. "Our systems got overwhelmed by the surge in demand from all the new schools coming onboard during the back to school season. It was a great problem to have, but a problem nonetheless. After making a significant investment in both software and hardware upgrades, our platform is faster than ever before, and we have plenty of room to grow," says Dr. Elena Krasnoperova, Founder and CEO of SimplyCircle.

All of these enhancements were highly requested by SimplyCircle customers. They help further simplify parent communication and strengthen the relationship between families and schools.
