Adding New Features

Why Do We Do It?

Maybe that subtitle is a little misleading. We don't suppose your question is really "Why does ClassRelay add new features?" Instead, what we have been asked is whether new features and updates will be provided to all ClassRelay users. That is, does a ClassRelay Basic user get updates even if they haven't upgraded to a Premium membership?

The simple answer is: Yes. All users receive updates and new features. We don't want any teacher to use an outdated version of ClassRelay, and we certainly don't want any of our wonderful teachers to not take advantage of all the free features that ClassRelay has to offer by default. Still, there are some things that are simply beyond the scope of what is available to users in the free Basic plan. For example, updates to rosters for Premium members, or added features for sections of the app that are restricted to Premium members will be, obviously, only applicable to our Premium members.

Perhaps the easiest way to explain which educators receive which updates is to simply reiterate our company's core beliefs. We believe that the teachers that gravitate to ClassRelay are a special group of educators. These teachers are far more likely to be leaders in their field, and to be current or future titans of education. ClassRelay teachers are those teachers, those rare few who rise above their position as a voice in their classroom to become a voice in their community. These educators need our help. At ClassRelay we make a promise every day to put education and educators before anything, so we take every step possible to do what's ethical, what's moral, what's positive, what will move the ball to the post with the greatest good. We couldn't ever imagine punishing educators for simply not upgrading to Premium. Instead we actively encourage educators to reach out to us, to let us know, to tell us how we can help.

If there's a new feature, an update, a bug fix, a simple tweak, or a major overhaul coming to ClassRelay, please don't worry if your account is Basic or Premium, we will take care of you, and we promise we always will.
