Description:

NOTE: Schools MUST sign up to the Xpressions service in order for parents to use this app. If you are unsure, please check with your child’s school.

SUPPORT: If you have any issues logging in, missing children in the app or anything else, check our dedicated Parental Support Site http://parents.groupcall.com, or contact us at ParentSupport@groupcall.com

Groupcall Xpressions is a child-centred personal communications timeline showing messages and updates from your child(ren’s) school(s):

• NOTIFICATIONS and MESSAGES : Your child’s school can send you messages for free, saving them money. Messages such as school closures, trip updates, exam reminders or notifications on attendance, behaviour or achievement are all relayed through a single app.
• SCHOOL DATA: access the core elements of your child’s student record to dive into their history of attendance, achievement, progress and behaviour. See their lesson or exam timetables. Access the school calendar to see what events are approaching.*
• ADD-ONS: Depending on what systems your child’s school uses, Xpressions can integrate with homework systems, parental payment systems, booking systems and more to provide you a one stop shop for everything to do with your child’s school life.*
• SECURE: Unlike many other apps, Xpressions gives you secure access to personal data about your child.
*Access to school data and add-ons is entirely dependent on the systems your school uses – check with your school to see what services are available to you. Currently, School Data access is unavailable to schools/parents in Scotland.

>>I am a parent wanting to use Groupcall Xpressions for my children, how do I get access?

If your school has directed you to download the app then welcome - You'll soon be on your way to receiving your child's data in the palm of your hand!

When the download and install is complete you simply need to provide your email address and mobile phone number where prompted by the app. These MUST match the details held by your school – we check their database to keep your child’s data secure. You’ll receive an SMS text message to double check you are who you say you are – simply enter this when prompted. If you get stuck, have a look at http://parents.groupcall.com where you’ll find plenty of information to get you moving. If you get really stuck, and you have already checked your details with your school, please contact Groupcall at parentsupport@groupcall.com

Unwieldy

I signed up to this app to save my son's school money. It's much less convenient than the texts it replaced though. I have to log in every time I use the app: this is pointless & unnecessary as I have security on my phone anyway. I haven't found a way to turn this off & I am considering asking the school to send me texts again & then deleting this app. It could work well, but needs a redesign.

Timewaster hater!

Hopeless app!

Barely ever works. No matter how many updates, the issues of hanging and error messages are never rectified. I get more emails and texts from the school to let me know that they are aware of the issues than I've had actual messages and information through the app. This has been the case for months and months. Since I downloaded it, in fact! Just thoroughly frustrating!

Near to useless

This app was rolled out at my daughter's school. I've "tried" to use it over the last few months and I think I can count the number of times it's actually worked on one hand. The app keeps crashing, information doesn't display and shows the incorrect information at startup. I have no idea why anyone would want to promote an app that has no beneficial use. Do us a favour and delete it. Let school's choose something that might actually work and is supported by the developer.

Very Basic - needs a few user friendly updates

Whilst I have had no issues logging in to the app, I've heard of others who have been unable to login due to their information being apparently incorrect. Lack of a settings option to turn on notifications (so that a number 1 is displayed on the app) is not user friendly. Ability to do some personalisation of notifications etc would be beneficial and encourage more parents to use the application.

Absolute rubbish

Full of errors, won't even let me login now. Both schools have correct details so purely the rubbish app! Wish schools would go back to using good old fashioned letters!

Metal
Render advanced 3D graphics and perform data-parallel computations. Get fine-grained access to the GPU while minimizing CPU overhead. The Metal Framework provides extremely low-overhead access to the GPU, enabling incredibly high performance for your sophisticated graphics rendering and computational tasks. Metal eliminates many performance bottlenecks—such as costly state validation—that are found in traditional graphics APIs. Metal moves all expensive state translation and compilation operations out of the critical path of your most performance sensitive rendering code. It provides precompiled shaders, state objects, and explicit command scheduling to ensure that your application achieves the highest possible performance and efficiency. Graphics, compute, and blit commands can be used together seamlessly and efficiently. Metal is specifically designed to exploit modern architectural considerations, such as multiprocessing and shared memory, to make it easy to parallelize the creation of GPU commands.
Button
Building Connected App Experiences. Button enables smart connections between apps that drive installs, increase engagement, and facilitate mobile commerce.
Launch Services
Swift
The powerful programming language that is also easy to learn. Swift is a powerful and intuitive programming language for macOS, iOS, watchOS and tvOS. Writing Swift code is interactive and fun, the syntax is concise yet expressive, and Swift includes modern features developers love. Swift code is safe by design, yet also produces software that runs lightning-fast.
UserNotifications Fram...
The UserNotifications framework (UserNotifications.framework) supports the delivery and handling of local and remote notifications. You use the classes of this framework to schedule the delivery of local notifications based on specific conditions, such as time or location. Apps and extensions also use this framework to receive and potentially modify local and remote notifications when they are delivered to the user’s device.
Accounts Framework
The Accounts framework provides access to user accounts stored in the Accounts database. An account stores the login credentials of a particular service, such as Twitter, that can be used as authentication for the service. By implementing the Accounts framework into your app, you do not need to be responsible for storing account logins yourself. Instead, the user can grant access for your app to use their account login credentials, bypassing the need to type their username and password. If no account for a particular service exists in the user’s Accounts database, you can let them create and save an account from within your app.
Address Book
The Address Book framework provides access to a centralized contacts database, called the Address Book database, that stores a user’s contacts. Applications such as Mail and Messages use this database to present information about known and unknown persons.
AddressBookUI
The Address Book UI framework provides controllers that facilitate displaying, editing, selecting, and creating records in the Address Book database.
Altitude Framework
Appirater
A utility that reminds your iPhone app's users to review the app.
ASIHTTPRequest
Easy to use CFNetwork wrapper for HTTP requests, Objective-C, Mac OS X and iPhone.
