  • not working

    keeps showing black screen and won’t let me do anything
  • iPad Support is limited.

    Using this app on an iPad will make your neck hurt since the screen doesn’t rotate to horizontal when used on one. This needs fixing.
  • Crashing

    Very convenient, but for the last couple weeks it has been crashing, so preventing me from recording my attendance.
