Mobile Apps: Android Apps and Other Phones

EDUBase's Parents, Teachers, Owners and QR Attendance apps are Android apps on Google Play. Families on other phones can still get fee, attendance and notice messages by SMS or WhatsApp, if the school sends them.

Which phones do the EDUBase mobile apps run on?

EDUBase publishes its mobile apps for Android. The Parents App, Teachers App, Owners App and QR Attendance App are on Google Play, and the published figure is 4 free mobile apps on Google Play.

The apps we describe are Android apps only. If your family uses a different type of phone, ask your school or EDUBase Sales (+92 300 0148829) what is available for your situation before you plan around the app.

What does the Parents App do on an Android phone?

The EDUBase Parents App lets parents follow their child's attendance, fees, marks, diary and notices. Parents can also apply for leave, message the school and receive PTM invitations.

Parents do not need a password. They log in with a rotating one-time code sent to the registered mobile number, so there are no shared passwords.

  • Attendance, fee standing, marks, diary and notices in one place
  • Leave applications sent to the school from the app
  • Secure in-app messages with teachers, where the school allows it
  • PTM invitations and push notifications

How can a parent without an Android phone still stay informed?

Much of what the app shows can also reach a family as a message. Schools using EDUBase can send fee challans, absentee alerts, marks, notices, reminders and PTM invitations by SMS or WhatsApp, as well as by app notification.

These messages arrive on any phone that can receive SMS or WhatsApp, whatever its operating system. Which messages are switched on is the school's decision, so ask the office what it sends.

  • Absentee SMS or WhatsApp goes out the same minute attendance is marked
  • Fee challans and fee reminders can be sent as SMS or WhatsApp
  • Marks can be sent by SMS when the teacher enters them
  • Notices and PTM invitations can go out by SMS or WhatsApp

What if the OTP does not arrive?

Parents who use the app sometimes find the one-time code does not arrive by SMS. The school can look up or issue the code for them through the Parent App OTP Portal on the web portal, so a login problem can be fixed by calling the office.

Which EDUBase apps exist, and on which platform?

The table below lists each app and where it runs. The Free SMS Sending App is downloaded from the school's portal and is not on Google Play. The desktop WhatsApp sender runs on Windows.

How do I check before the school signs up?

If app access matters to you as a parent, ask the school which messages it sends by SMS and WhatsApp and whether it uses the Parents App. Schools can also ask EDUBase about their requirements; custom development is a listed service, though we cannot promise a specific platform here.
