Good app so far! Just a feature request
It would be very helpful if when making groups it grayed out students who were already placed in other groups so you would quickly be able to see who still needs to be placed.awiity

Thanks for this suggestion! We currently indicate students that are in the current group so that the teacher cannot re-add them to the same group. I'd follow up on adding some indication of students in other groups so as to prevent adding a student to multiple groups by mistake. Expect the app update soon. Thanks for using GRo and thanks for the suggestion.disappointed

Hello, I responded to you via email, but I thought I'll follow up here. First I would like to apologize for the super late response on behalf of the team here at GRo. Customers trust is of utmost importance to us and I would like to apologize for not meeting up to that standard. Second, I would like to explain why it took too long to respond. GRo has recently got a new owner. My name is Fortune and I recently (in the middle of August) acquired the app after realizing it had been left idle by the previous owners for a long time. I understand the value this app brings to teachers and by extension their students and the students' parents. And so, I am currently going through the previous support emails to ensure I respond to every person that wasn’t responded to. Third, after seeing your support email dated October 23rd 2021, I immediately got to fixing the issue that caused the crash. Because it had been too long, I didn’t have access to the logs and so I had to make some intelligent guesses of the cause of the crash. Good news is, I believe I fixed it! I put out an update in the apple store a few days ago. If you update your app or re-download it, you should find the issue fixed. If it isn’t fixed, please send us an email and we will get to it! If for any reason Apple attempts to charge you again, please let me know and I would give you a promo code that would enable you to download it for free! I hope you can give GRo another chance to delight you and your students in this new academic year. CheersAmazing!
Great app for tracking lesson plans and assessments. It saves me a ton of time. Being able to generate reports and send lesson plans is really convenient also. Keep up the great work!Winterdaisy22

Thanks for the kind comments. We hope you still enjoy using GRo!Perfect app for the class room
I've been using this app a lot to track groups within my class. You can create and track students for any subject and add notes in text, picture or audio. Having my class, groups, calendar, assessments, lesson plans all in one place is super convenient. I love the stop watch on lesson plans also! I plan on using the audio feature for recording readings and the graphed assessment results for parent-teacher meetings in the fall. One question - is there a way to customize the order in which students appear in a class?👍👍Show lessmr khan 1

Thank you for the kind comments. We are glad to hear you are enjoying GRō features. Regarding your question: you can customize the order in which students appear by simply holding your finger on a student and dragging to the desired position in the class. Thank you for using GRō.Awesome App!
This app has won me over. The best $10 I’ve ever spent! The assessments and note tracking features are excellent. I love that the app lets you generate and email a pdf on a student. You can also duplicate then edit a lesson plan instead of creating one from scratch which saves time. You can quickly take student notes right on the lesson plan also. It really does save a bunch of time and paper. Keep up the good work!Show lessECP333
So far so good!
This app just keeps getting better...I just discovered two buttons at the top. One lets you generate and send a pdf email to the student. The other lets you share or send a student with another user. So far so good!Jefferson0506

We are happy to hear you are enjoying the app! Yes, we added the pdf feature so educators have the ability to send parents a report on a given student. We added the send or share feature for cases where a student has multiple teachers. Each teacher can access and update the shared students data. The Send feature enables a teacher to send a student from one teacher to another. Thank you for using GRō.Great app
This app replaces binders.Having my schedule, groups, lessons, notes and assessments all in one place is exactly what I needed!321kram
Good app but needs some improvement
I love being able to group my students on an app but I think the app needs some improvement. First, I wish it would automatically alphabetize student names in order, either by first name or last name. Being able to group them myself is fine, but I also wish there was an option for automatic grouping by reading level or by the “red, yellow, green” system. I’m looking forward to any improvements the developers might add.Show lesssofden

Thank you for your input and purchase. GRō is designed based off teacher feedback so we always appreciate this type of input. Our goal is to continue to build exactly what teachers want. Just a little background: we observed many teachers just like to just enter a student’s first name, so we opted to make a student’s 'Last Name' an optional choice. We also found that teachers we worked with wanted the ability to customize the order in any way they see fit. We noted a common theme was to have students who needed extra support listed at the top of the class. To accommodate this, we added the ability to drag and drop any student within a class so the ordering can be customized in any manner needed. For this just hold a finger on a student’s name within the class view and drag. We also have a video tutorial series on GRō features found here: https://gro-app.com/tutorials/ I think having an option to alphabetize ordering is a valid point on your part also. Please contact us at info@gro-app.com so we can discuss your insights and requests further. Thank you for using GRō.Good but could be better
There are so many things that I love about this App. However, I wish I could use my Apple Pencil and it included running record forms.KAL261993
Beyond Glitches...
I am sad to leave this reading, but I believe it is necessary.
The developer has been fantastic in responding to my request for a fix, but the fix has never been permanent. Each month my Apple account is charge for my monthly premium subscription, and then the following month I seem to be locked out and it does not recognize me as a subscriber.
I need to uninstall and reinstall all the app every single month.
For all of the useless that I get from it in other ways this is not worth the continued support if they cannot fix small bugs like this.Show lessMrskachur

We are certainly sorry to hear about this frustration. We were very frustrated too! Fortunately, we have good news and this is no longer an issue. With the release of version 5.0, we have removed the subscription functionality that was leading to this problem. Now all users have access to all features. No more uninstalling and re-installing. If you have any questions please don’t hesitate to reach out to us at info@gro-app.com and we can get you back going again.
