EDUBase publishes white-label parent apps on Google Play for school groups, and the standard EDUBase Parents App is free on Android. Whether your school qualifies for its own name and logo is confirmed with sales.
Can my school have its own parents app on the Play Store?
EDUBase offers white-label parent apps for school groups, published on Google Play. A white-label app is the parents app presented under the group's own identity instead of a generic product name.
A single school or a multi-campus chain may ask whether it fits this arrangement. We do not publish a fixed rule for that on this page. Sales confirms eligibility, scope and terms after hearing how many campuses you run and how you want parents to find the app.
Every school, branded or not, can use the standard EDUBase Parents App, which is free and available for Android.
What do parents get inside the app?
The parents app is connected to the same school records that staff use on the web portal. Parents therefore see current information, not a separate copy that someone has to update by hand.
- Their child's attendance, fees, marks, diary and notices.
- Leave applications sent to the school from the app.
- Messages to the school, within the rules the school sets in Communication Settings.
- PTM invitations when the school publishes a Parent-Teacher Meeting.
- Push notifications for notices, messages, PTMs, challans and attendance.
How do parents log in and stay secure?
Parents log in with a rotating one-time code sent to the registered mobile number, so there are no shared passwords. If the SMS does not arrive, staff can look up or issue the code from the Parent App OTP Portal in the web portal.
Each school's data sits in its own separate database, and portal and app traffic runs over HTTPS. A branded app changes how the app is presented to parents. It does not change where your records are kept.
How does the school control what parents can see?
Branding is only part of running a parents app. The web portal also gives the school control over how the app behaves.
- Parent App Analytics shows installs and logins by class and section, so you know which classes need a reminder.
- Parent App Privileges can warn or block app features for families with overdue fees. Fee details and contact us are never blocked.
- Marks can be hidden in the app and released later, for example at PTM time.
- EDUBase App Links gives you store and download links to paste into a message to families.
Standard app or white-label app: which one suits us?
The table below sets out the difference as published. Choose the standard app if you want parents using the app quickly. Ask sales about white-label if your group wants its own identity on the Play Store listing.
Both options draw on the same school records, so fees, attendance, exams and notices come from the same place whichever app parents open.
What should I ask sales before committing?
Commercial terms are discussed directly with sales, not on this page. Prepare your questions so the conversation is short and specific.
- Does our school or group qualify for a white-label parent app?
- What name, logo and store listing details will you need from us?
- How long will the setup take, and who handles the Play Store publishing?
- Will parents on iPhones be able to use it, or is it Android only? The published apps are Android.
- How will updates reach parents after launch?
