MyEncore App 2025 Update: New Features for Schools

At MyEncore, we're constantly listening to feedback from schools, teachers, and parents across South Africa. Today, we're thrilled to share the new features and improvements coming to the MyEncore app in 2025.

What's New in 2025

This update focuses on three key areas that schools have been asking for: better communication tools, faster attendance tracking, and improved performance across all devices.

1. Enhanced Parent Communication

Communication between schools and parents just got easier. Our new messaging features include:

• Read receipts: Know when parents have seen your messages
• Message scheduling: Write messages now, send them later
• Translation support: Automatic translation for multilingual communities
• Quick replies: Pre-set responses for common queries

2. Faster Attendance Tracking

We've completely rebuilt our attendance module to be faster and more reliable:

• One-tap marking: Mark entire classes present with a single tap
• Offline mode: Take attendance even without internet - syncs when back online
• Absence alerts: Automatic notifications to parents when learners are marked absent
• Attendance reports: Generate detailed reports in seconds

3. Performance Improvements

We know that speed matters. That's why we've optimised the app to run smoother than ever:

• 50% faster loading: App screens load twice as fast
• Reduced data usage: Uses less mobile data for schools in areas with limited connectivity
• Battery optimisation: Less battery drain during extended use
• Smoother scrolling: Improved performance on older devices

Coming Soon

We're not stopping here. Later in 2025, you can expect:

• Integration with more payment providers
• Advanced reporting dashboards
• Improved timetable management
• Enhanced SASAMS export features

Getting the latest version is easy:

1. Open your app store (Google Play, App Store, or AppGallery)
