  • How to cancel the subscription!

    Can somebody please tell me how to cancel the subscription to this app?
    I had try in vain. I want to get rid of this app. I don’t want to keep paying for something I can’t use.

    Developer Response

    Very sorry to hear about the problem. However, the good news is that there is no need to cancel your subscription. With the release of version 5.0 there is no longer subscription functionality. You have access to all features and there is nothing to cancel. If you don’t want to use the app, all you need to do is uninstall. Please contact us at info@gro-app.com and we can make sure everything is taken care of for you.
  • Almost perfect

    I love this app. I wish when groups changed you didn’t lose notes on students. It would be nice if there were The general Notes you write, but then I’d love separate running notes for all the subjects to stay.

    I also cannot find a way to list my kids in ABC order by last name...right now it is just by how they were entered.

    I also wish the developer email worked. It comes back invalid.

    Thank you for your input and purchase. We sincerely apologize for missing this comment. When groups are changed, student notes are maintained on the student’s profile notes view. Would you mind re-checking this behavior? Or perhaps we are misunderstanding something here? Feel free to contact us at info@gro-app.com to discuss this further. We always appreciate and welcome input. You can also customize how your kids appear by holding your finger on their name in the class view and dragging to the desired location. Once again, we sincerely apologize for missing this comment. Thank you for using GRō.
  • Amazing!

    I love this app!!!! I use it DAILY and recommend it to everyone! I work at a data driven school and this app is an amazing way to track all sorts of data for reading, writing, & math. I use it to track reading levels, writing levels, fluency, math facts, etc. I also love writing anecdotal notes during small groups without wasting paper. Another amazing feature is the graphs that are generated from the data you input, and the ability to print, email, or share this data. YOU NEED THIS APP!

  • Awesome!!!!!!

    This app is amazing! I can’t wait to use t when school starts back!
  • Great app for guided reading

    I use this for a lot of my small groups and guided reading. It is a great longitudinal pipeline for monitoring student progress. When my students level up it instantly graphs their progress. I can take photos, make notes, etc. I simply didn’t want another 3 ring binder full of papers. Convenience101

  • The BEST Small Group App

    I have really enjoyed using this app in my classroom during small group instruction. I will definitely be recommending this to colleagues!
  • Fantastic app

    Totally recommend this app if you want to reduce the time and effort it takes to set up groups. Have been using for years and has proven itself with the ease of use, consistent development, and brilliant, friendly support team. Planning is a breeze, with the ability to easily refer to prior year's plans and titles. Need for individual support is easily recognised with at a glance data referencing. I'm at the point where I'd be lost without it. The added feature of sight word incorporation will be a major benefit with lower school planning. Worth every cent.

  • So upset with the changes

    I bought this app about a year and a half ago for $9.99. Once downloaded, I saw it really wasn’t worth the $10. The only thing it will track and graph is the student’s reading level. I kept using it anyway and I used the notes feature to track student’s fluency, accuracy rate, and comprehension scores from their running records. But it would be nice to be able to graph all those features. The notes and graph were useful for when I wanted to look at one specific student’s data over a period of time to decide whether a student needed to proceed in more intensive intervention. Now I’m opening the new app after receiving an email about the update. One of my groups is missing, and now I have to click separate tabs to see information about the student, instead of all on one page like before. The new graph style is much more difficult to see and read, and no longer shows the class average for comparison. And on top of all that, you’re telling me I will now have to pay $30 a year for this poorer version of an app I already feel I overpaid for? No thank you, good bye!

    Thank you for your comment and we certainly appreciate your concerns. All of your comments are valid, but we would like to make you aware of a few important points: - The updated version of the app will track any data that you would like, including fluency, accuracy rate, and comprehension scores as you mentioned. This is actually one of the main reasons for the update. If you'd like more information about how this works, please reach out to us at info@gro-app.com and we'd be more than happy to show you as we are very excited about this feature. - With regards to your group missing, there is a small bug affecting a few accounts that prevents some data from showing up. It will take us 1 min to fix for you, but we need to know your account information. Please contact us at info@gro-app.com and we'll be happy to take care of that for you right away. - We apologize that the new layout is not as effective for you as before. There were a variety of reasons for changing the layout. Most of these were to enable us to continue to offer more features that require more efficient use of the space. - With the graph, we are working to add the class average back in because many users value this data. Instead of delaying until everything was perfect, we wanted to get the revised app into users' hands as fast as possible. Keep an eye out as this feature will be back in soon. - As for costs, your account won't be charged anything beyond your initial purchase price without your confirmation. Please reach out to us and we'll be happy to discuss this with you. Thanks again for voicing your concerns. Your feedback lets us know what's important and what we can do to make the app work best for you.
  • Great app-missing something

    I really want to give this 5 stars. It has almost all the pieces I need to make it my all in one tool. I so wish there was a way to utilize my Apple Pencil with this app and take running records right on the app and attach them to the student notes. Also a recording feature to record students as they are reading would make this app even more powerful!

  • Great app to organize groups and notes

    I just bought this app today and I am so excited to use for my groups. I have struggled to find a way to organize reading groups that works best for me. I want the ease of taking notes about students right on the lesson plan but also the convenience of having all notes about one student on one page so I don’t have to flip around for grading and conference purposes. This app is the perfect solution for that. I also love the assessment feature that utilizes a graph to track progress across time. I am looking forward to being able to print this information to share with families or to be able to use during Data team meetings. It will easily allow me to show students progress or areas of concerns. The customer service is great as well. They are quick to answer questions.
