Leave a Review break for School Loop
  • I love this app!

    This app is great for someone like myself who worries frantically about how the next test will affect my grade. It shows me everything I need and want to know.

    Glad to hear that you like it!
  • A little buggy

    Love how I can see what I need to get to help my grade! I just wish it didn’t force log out and show my locker as empty....
  • Break’s calculated grade different from my actual grad

    Hi, so I didn’t add or change any grades, but for the calculated grade break gives me it states 91 percent but my grade in the actual school loop says 86.

    Unfortunately, break can do this when it doesn't understand the grading scheme your class uses, which can occur when your teacher uses a custom grade format. In this case, trust the "Original" grade view, which performs no extra calculation and hence will not get confused with nonstandard rubrics. If you're willing to share your class details, I'd love it if you could send me an email at saagar@saagarjha.com so I can take a look at improving break's algorithm in these cases.
  • App Seems Great... but I can’t login

    There is another school with my same name in a different district and the app automatically defaults to that one instead of allowing me to choose mine and therefore I am unable to login.
  • Good, but it needs a reset button

    Please make it possible to quickly reset grades after changing them to check how something would effect a grade.

    You can tap the title bar (where the course name is, next to a disclosure arrow) to access a menu that lets you switch between different views–"Original" will show you what your grade was originally, and "Differences" lets you compare your modified grade with the original one and tell you the difference. break will clear out your changes when you exit the view and go back to the courses page, so you can use this a quick way to throw away all your changes and start again. Do these solve the problem you're having?
  • Can’t view my first period grades??

    Hi,

    I <3 this app and it’s a great idea overall-however, the one class I’m failing at rn(Chem H lol) I for some reason can’t view. Like I press the course <Chem H> and nothing shows up under grades. Please please please fix this :)
  • Changes Password

    How come I am unable to login to any of my accounts?
  • Great app, could use a few more features

    This app is great for checking to see how my grade would change if I had received a different score, or the score I need to get a certain grade. However, I still use the regular school loop app for everything else because of its appearance. This app does not look that great: some colors for classes are very similar, the UI is bland, and the items are close together. If I could suggest a couple of features, I might say to add the ability to change the color of specific classes. I would also appreciate if the point value for assignments and the period they belong to are visible on the assignments page. Overall, this is a great app for experimenting with your grade, but I don’t think it is suitable (in my opinion) for primary use at this state.

    break now uses a new coloring algorithm that is guaranteed to deterministically choose colors that are as dissimilar as possible, which hopefully resolves your issues with the color scheme. I'm continually looking for ways to change the UI for the better, so I'll keep your other suggestions in mind when designing parts of the app.
  • Great features but bad interface

    Make the assignments and grades of your class easier to read. It’s an eye sore. But love the features of the app. Also some of the buttons to edit your grade are hard to press. Maybe you should have to click on the assignment then change the grade easily. And when you add assignments you should have it the same way. So it’s easier to choose categories instead of trying to click on a little area on the screen.

    Cheers,

    Hello Rohan, Thanks for the feedback; I'm always open to suggestions on how to make break better and easier to use. Would you mind dropping me a line at saagar@saagarjha.com if you have time so that you could go into your improvements in more detail to make sure that we're on the same page regarding what you want?
  • Clarity

    To all you idiots who don't Understand what this app is, its a nice app that gives you a theoretical view of what your grade COULD have been
    It's not a hack and it's not actually changing your grades
