Great idea, needs some improvement
I love rubrics. I was really excited about using this software, until it ate most of one of the larger rubrics I need to make when I was half-finished with it.
Saving is faulty. Editing a rubric once it's made is faulty (because saving is faulty) and while you can email the rubric (as a back-up, in case of faulty saving) to use that function you need to leave the rubric, which again makes you vulnerable to faulty saving...
Unless you can sit down and do the whole thing in one uninterrupted stretch, this may not be the most helpful tool for creating and editing rubrics.
An existing rubric can not be imported to then just use it for live marking during class (and effectively bypass the faulty saving), and there is no way to contact the developer from the app for problems, suggestions, or kudos.
Importing students is easy, but super basic ( no multiple-field entries, and you can't import photos with names).
Right now I'm pretty disappointed--and annoyed at the lost time and lost work. Unfortunately, there don't really seem to be any better alternatives at the moment.

Not worth it
Crashes constantly. Requires purchasing a separate program to import rubrics or send them through email. Airport printer is required to print anything. Way too many restrictions for an app that's not free.
Great app!
The app works great. The only thing that could make this a 5-star app is the ability to export reports in excel format either as a file savable to my device, or export ability to Dropbox or Google drive.
Revised rating
Future update to include changing the values in assessment columns. Cant wait to try - it may illicit a 5 star rating.
Could use more choices for icons
I'm not too pleased with the faces icons and we are starting a grading system that will be eliminating all numbers to describe progress. I would like to be able to have more choices for icons. If there is a way to eliminate all icons and just use letters to describe or abbreviate the mastery levels,l that would help too.

Fantastic tool
This is a fantastic teaching tool. Highly recommend it. Makes report and assessing time easy. Easy to use. It just keeps getting better and better. A must for any teacher.
Looks like a good app
I have just started working with this app and really enjoy it. I am glad hits are around to help me figure out parts of the app that I was not familiar with. I do wish some of the in-app purchases weren't quite so expensive.
Lots of detail
Just started playing around with it. The "Hint" part is very nice to help get things going and get everything linked together. I think without that I would have had trouble figuring out the app.
Impressed
I have just started using this app but so far I am very excited about it. I like that you input your criteria and apply it for each class and student. I plan to buy more copies for my school.
Don't buy it.
It's a waste of money, especially because you have to pay for so many upgrades to actually make the app worth using.
