Review：

Aladdin's parent-teacher app is incredibly user-friendly, providing a fantastic experience for both parents and schools. Parents can check their child's academic progress anytime, and school announcements are pushed directly to them. Requesting leave, authorizing appointments, and scheduling parent-teacher meetings can all be done with a single click, completely eliminating paper-based communication. Schools find it very easy to use; even those with basic computer skills can easily master it. The cloud system requires no installation or maintenance, and can be used on any device connected to the internet. Data loss is not a concern if a computer malfunctions, as existing student information can be directly imported without manual re-entry. Furthermore, the clear role-based access control allows schools to flexibly manage access, ensuring each role can only view their designated data. The platform's supporting services are also excellent, including one-on-one introductory training, year-round online manuals and videos, readily available customer service on weekdays, and complete data security. Partnering with Google to store data in EU data centers with encryption protection ensures security and compliance. It's compatible with primary schools of all sizes and types, and has received excellent reviews.
