  • Good app.

    The app is pretty good. It’s easy to use and fast.

    Thank you :-)
  • Pretty good app except for two things

    The Orb app is excellent for checking my progress but there’s issue that makes it pretty difficult to log my hours that I really want fixed. I can’t press enter in order to have different categories in what I do and to have sub sections. Because of this I have to write one muddled paragraph or log my hours in with my laptop which is a huge hassle especially with pictures involved. Can u please make it so I can press return (enter) to make subsections in the description box and make the box a lot bigger. Other than that the app it very good

    Hello, it is a good tip for improvement, I will put it in our development queue.
  • Great but I would like one more thing

    This is an amazing new way to record, I love it. It is so much more practical.

    I would like to give a point of feedback. It would be very helpful if the app would have a way to message your duke leader within the app.

    Hello, thanks a lot for the praises I will pass them on our developers. Regarding the messaging we have something planned already but we do not want to make a similar app to WhatsApp or Facebook or many other as this would not be effective.
  • The worst app ever

    Had to move to this system after they got rid of the books. Nothing works. I just clicked “send to assessor”, sending one of my tasks off to when I got the email wrong and Guess what, I cannot change it!! Now I’m stuck, they can’t receive the email and pass me, and I can’t pass!!!!! There need to be some major improvements to this. I would have rated 0 stars if possible

    Hello, not every functionality is available in the app because of complexity of the ORB - some operation could be done actually only by your Award Leader. What you describe may need Leader intervention.

  • Amazing and helpful app

    I’m at student at Sydney technical high school and this app has helped me finish my duke of Ed award. It is very helpful and I would recommend it to anyone trying to complete their award.

  • Doesent work

    App doesent work, keeps saying network error
  • doesn’t work

    all my friends have the app and it works for them. But i doesn’t work for me. He page is blank and it says network error how can there be a network error if i’am logged into wifi and it works fine for other ppl? Fix this app because it’s a shame that it doesn’t work for some ppl.

    If you are from the UK you cannot use this app with your credentials - you have to use the eDofE system - is this the case? or you were able to log in with your email and then the app behaved strangely?
  • Dissapointed and frustrated

    All my friends who are doing this course with me have all been logging and using the app, and all works perfectly, however for me it does not. I can’t log anything at all and just generally is doesn’t work it’s just blank and says Network Error. I’ve tried deleting and reinstalling the app as well as rebooting my phone but it has not worked several times. I’m disappointed as it would have been a big plus if I could use this app.

  • Ratting is not based on any experience with the app

    Can you make an edofe app please

    Developer Response

    Hello, eDofe is for UK participants and it is a different system to our ORB, there is nothing we can do about it for the time being.
