After the summer holidays, many students go back to the classrooms.
The new school year begins.
The schedule is also new.
The “Untis Mobile App” is said to be more popular than WhatsApp with many schoolchildren.
Stockerau/Munich ‒ A lot will change for the students at the beginning of the school year.
The timetable, the allocation of rooms, daily changes in the school routine, even some upcoming teacher changes whirl many a student's brain upside down.
It's also true, how is a young person supposed to remember all these things, after all, the head needs space for mathematics, German, physics, religion, history, sports, economics, geography, handicrafts and chemistry.
The digital timetable from Untis Mobile App can also be viewed offline.

Many students also use the Messenger WhatsApp to exchange homework and school news.
However, according to
Chip.de
, the Untis mobile app is becoming increasingly popular with schoolchildren.
The app has already been installed on mobile phones and smartphones more than a million times.
It records the current timetable, compares daily changes, such as lost hours or substitute hours, and sends these to the mobile phone user with a push notification.
Timetables that have been viewed once are permanently available to the user offline.
Digital timetable: Parents can exchange ideas with teachers
The app is something like a digital class register with entries, sick notes, missed hours and room changes.
Exam dates can also be viewed, homework queried and videos from online lessons clicked on.
Teachers, parents and students can exchange information using the app.
You can also use it to send letters to parents and make important announcements about school operations.
The app uses the Untis timetable creation software, which “is very common throughout Europe and is used by many schools,”
Chip.de
continues.
Access to the app is child's play.
With the help of login data or a QR code, students, teachers and parents can log in and access all school data.

The "deluxe version" offers a few additional functions such as a timetable widget, visual design of timetables, muting during lessons and the search for free rooms directly on the mobile phone, which should certainly be a real benefit for many teachers.
If you believe the entries of users in the Google Play Store, most of them get along well with the app.
On the positive side, some notice that there is no trace of advertising and there are no annoying updates.
"The app also shows when you're offline" - some users also find this function very helpful.

With teachers, this app would definitely be a complete success if, given the current shortage of teachers, substitute teachers could be found quickly.
Because the skilled labor market in schools has been swept empty.
Bayern is desperately looking for teachers.
