Question 1

We already use WhatsApp. Why should we pay for this?

Accepted Answer

WhatsApp is excellent for conversations. KoalaCast is built for communication with accountability. Once a WhatsApp message is sent, you don't know who read it, who acknowledged it, or how to remind only those who missed it. Imagine sending a consent form: with WhatsApp, teachers spend hours following up. With KoalaCast, you see exactly who's responded and can nudge only the rest.

Question 2

Parents won't install another app.

Accepted Answer

They don't have to. KoalaCast works entirely in the browser. Parents open a link and they're in. They can install it like an app in their Android or iOS mobile phones if they want — but it's completely optional. This is actually one of our strongest advantages.

Question 3

How long will implementation take?

Accepted Answer

A basic setup can be done in a day. Teachers can start sending announcements immediately while student data can be loaded with CSV file import in one go and channels are added gradually. Most schools go with a phased rollout — start with fee reminders and consent forms, then expand to day to day announcements, polls, events scheduling, surveys and much more.

Question 4

How difficult is it to train teachers?

Accepted Answer

Most teachers already know how to write announcements. We've kept KoalaCast similar to writing an email or social media post, so training typically focuses on best practices rather than software. A 20-minute walkthrough is usually enough.

Question 5

Why should the principal care?

Accepted Answer

Because communication becomes measurable. Instead of asking 'Did we send the circular?', you can answer '94% of parents read it, 91% acknowledged it, and 12 families need follow-up.' That shifts the conversation from messaging to accountability.

Question 6

Can we try before buying?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Our free plan lets you try KoalaCast with real communications — no credit card, no time limit. For Pro features, we offer a 14-day trial on request. Low-risk pilots (one class or one department) are often easier to approve than full purchases.
