We’re proud to launch the new Hail App – a mobile feed for everything you publish in Hail.
The news, notices, newsletters and updates you already create in your Hail dashboard can now appear instantly in a live mobile feed your community can follow from their phone. Nothing new to learn. No extra content to create.
You’re always in control. Only the content you choose to share appears in the app. Just like choosing to publish to your website, newsletter or social media, you decide what reaches the app feed. Edit or remove posts anytime, and updates sync instantly. It’s fast and reliable!
One dashboard, same workflow – just another place your content can reach the people who matter. The Hail App is included in your Hail subscription at no additional cost.
Already using another school or organisation app?
Many schools already use an app for things like alerts, calendars or parent portals. The Hail app doesn’t replace those systems!
It simply becomes another place your Hail content can appear – the news, notices, newsletters and updates you already publish in Hail. Most organisations will continue to use their existing apps for alerts, forms or operational tools, while the Hail app becomes the live feed for the stories, updates and information you share with your wider community.
You decide what gets shared to the Hail app feed, just like you choose where to publish across your website, newsletters or social channels.
Why we built it
Important information gets lost. It’s spread across emails, websites, social media and separate apps – and communities end up missing things or checking the wrong place.
The Hail App brings it together.
One place. Always current. No searching required.
