Terrible app
Full of bugs!
Unreliable - far better apps out there
Information uploaded to the app by the school takes too long to appear. Reporting of events is also out of order (basically random).
Too cumbersome and lacks important features
I have been using Montessori Compass in my Upper El classroom for 2 months since stopping by their booth at the AMS conference in Boston. I wanted a way to quickly record lessons and observations of students. Initially I downloaded the app with the intention of using it to gather information that I would analyze and reflect on at the end of the day and for generating reports for my parents.
The quick add feature is too cumbersome as you must select the student then the lesson. The app shows all lessons in your curriculum with a search bar. It would be helpful if there was an option to show planned lessons. I had hoped this app would allow me to quickly record lessons in real time, capturing students who came to the lesson along with their chosen follow up work.
It would be helpful to be able to upload pdf copies of observations like time sampling, physical map observations, rating scales and three column running records done in GoodNotes.
Each time I attempt to use the app, I switch to using the web based in Safari to the pint I’m deleting the app and just adding a shortcut to my iPad’s Home Screen.
