### 3/5 — I need an answer

*2022-06-10, version 3.0.4*

I love the app!  It works great for what I need as a homeschool mom.  My only problem is I can’t email anything.  It says “email error:  cannot send email.  Create an email account and try again.”  But I can’t find where or how to do this.  I checked the user manual, and I didn’t see it there either.  Help would be greatly appreciated!

### 4/5 — Good App, More Features Needed

*2020-04-23, version 3.0.4*

Let me start by saying that I like this app and use it every day to do my job. There are many of great features that are incredibly helpful. That being said, there should be more features for the price that faculty pay for the full app. The app does not support adding assignment as extra credit or dropping an assignment from the grade book for individual students (not the whole class). The notes that are written for students on assignments or exams do not show up when I run reports unless the assignment has a grade. This is problematic for me at the end of the semester when I allow students to drop the final - I cannot input a 0 and exclude the 0, and and my notes about the student opting out of the exam and accepting their grade do not show up unless I input a 0 and mess up their grade calculations. This would easily be a 5 star review if those issues could be fixed!

### 3/5 — Confusing Much?

*2020-03-14, version 3.0.4*

Overall, I find it as an amazing and useful app to use for grades, attendance and school use. However, the designing is confusing. I would also like to see more!

### 4/5 — Great app. Just a bit limited

*2020-03-04, version 3.0.4*

So I use the free version so of course there are limited with that but it’s great otherwise. My biggest complaint is that it doesn’t sync across multiple devices. So if I forget my iPad at home or if it dies I have absolutely no access to my grade book. Which is a major inconvenience lol

### 4/5 — Only App in its Class

*2019-07-26, version 3.0.3*

Wish it were updated as this is the only app that does what it does - making attendance and grading easy on iOS devices. With iCloud syncing and some UI bug fixes, it would be perfect.

### 4/5 — A few more things would improve it.

*2019-02-03, version 3.0.3*

I want to rate this higher. There’s a lot that’s awesome about it. However, why does it not give the ability to put out transcripts? That and the syncing issues others have mentioned caused me to remove two stars. I also purchased the student grade tracker this developer put out to use its transcript making ability. But that only allows me to do one student’s work at once. Then I guess I’ll have to delete and lose all the data to work on the next student.  Not cool. I wish these two apps were combined — so I could make individual transcripts for each student. I’m a homeschool mom, and this would be invaluable to me for my record keeping. Nearly $14 for both together, and they don’t combine data.

Update: I think this will be more helpful with the transcripts than I first recognized. I do wish, though that it was explicitly labeled as such, and that it could be printed directly from the app. I’ve added another star.

### 4/5 — Adding assignments is very difficult

*2018-11-10, version 3.0.3*

I searched all through the app and can not figure out how to add assignments and tests to give a score

### 4/5 — Request

*2018-06-10, version 3.0.3*

The app should be able to allow me to put someone that is going to be absent for 10 days for them to keep that statues in the attendance for that amount of time they will be gone.

### 4/5 — Great App - Need to transfer data

*2018-05-18, version 3.0.3*

Hello! I truly enjoy this app. I back up my data daily and send latest reports to email. I upgraded to a new phone and downloaded the app. To my amazement, the data I had on previous phone did not transfer. PLEASE HELP! I cannot lose countless hours of work and my students grades before finals! Is there a way to transfer data/restore on new phone? Thank yoy.

### 4/5 — Very helpful$

*2017-03-28, version 3.0.2*

This is a simple app that helps me keep track of participation work.

### 4/5 — Best App

*2017-03-26, version 3.0.2*

My first look at this app was like, It's probably useless, But it's the best app ever! My students love it as well they like looking and watching me take attendance. it's the perfect grade marking thing. Then I put the grades into the real grade book. I gave his app four stars because they could add a little more

### 4/5 — Review

*2017-02-08, version 3.0.2*

Need more course list where we can add, instead of just three.

### 1/5 — Not simple in attendance records

*2024-04-21, version 3.0.4*

Since we homeschool, I would of liked to see an area where I could just see their daily attendance without having to click on each subject and for each grade. Just one place where I could see how many days present on working. We haven’t used it for this reason and because attendance shows per subject and we have switched to different books, it was just not simple to use

### 1/5 — Not worth trying

*2023-08-25, version 3.0.4*

I’ve been working with it for 2years and every week I take a back up in order to keep my data safe and secure but unfortunately when my son accidentally deleted the app I tried to restore my data but guess what? it didn’t work. So much data for my students.what am I supposed to do. It’s really not worth trying

### 1/5 — It is supposed to let you call roll and there is no way you can call roll

*2023-03-17, version 3.0.4*

I hate this app

### 1/5 — Unbelievable!

*2020-04-29, version 3.0.4*

I used to enjoy this app. I purchased the upgraded version so that I could continue to have access to my classes and suddenly they all vanished. 
Now, I don't even know how respond to my students concerns from last semester. 
How do I regain access to my old classes?

### 1/5 — Does this thing actually work????!!!!!

*2018-09-27, version 3.0.3*

I have waisted an entire day trying to import student names and info from a csv file in Dropbox.  I have watched tutorials, read through what I could find, updated Dropbox, rearranged the fields on my csv files anyway I could think of, and it still does not load.  At one point I got it to load last names only!! Woopee,!  If I knew that was all I could get I would have typed them in.  When I finally decided to seek help in the app I was rewarded with a glitch and the app closed.  Of course I had to try again and each attempt was another glitch with an error message.  If you hear me out there, I would really love to use this app and if you can help me I will gladly take this review down and replace it with another.  But right now I am going back to a spread sheet.  I had really hoped to go into class much more prepared and was excited about the features in this app but I am out of time now.  Thanks a lot!

### 1/5 — Import feature is too fussy

*2017-02-05, version 3.0.2*

The only way to import student information is to use the apparently super fussy template.  There used to be one you could email to use, but it seems to be gone.  Great app if one could use it.

### 1/5 — Crashy app

*2016-09-24, version 2.1.1*

App crashed when I tried to load a photo of a student. May have lost all my info. Not happy :-(

### 1/5 — Can't delete students

*2016-06-30, version 2.1.1*

Why can't you delete a studeny

### 2/5 — Upgrade issue

*2018-08-25, version 3.0.3*

I love this app however I am having issues purchasing the upgrade. No one to speak to and no one to help me with this issue. I only have one elementary class so attendance isn’t needed for all subjects as I take attendance only once a day.

### 2/5 — no syncing!

*2017-08-11, version 3.0.2*

The basic functionality is good, as everyone says. No syncing between mobile devices, however -- even in the paid version -- is a MAJOR weakness. What teacher wouldn't want to shuttle between an iPad and an iPhone at will?

### 5/5 — Excelente

*2024-09-02, version 3.0.4*

Recomendada

### 5/5 — Love it just one thing

*2023-05-30, version 3.0.4*

I really love this app! The only thing I wish is that I didn’t have to pay to make multiple courses, I wish it was free.

### 5/5 — Jared Auriemma

*2017-10-29, version 3.0.3*

This is a really good app. I love this!!

### 5/5 — Great app for digital grade book

*2017-10-28, version 3.0.3*

Love this app! This app makes it easy to set up weighted assignments, record scores and create reports on individual students or the entire class.

### 5/5 — Love it!

*2017-08-30, version 3.0.2*

I am a homeschool mom, and this app is making my life so much easier! I am only using the grade book as I already have a system for keeping track of attendance. This app is so easy for me to navigate, and it's easy to set up and manage courses and lessons, add grades, adjust weighted percentages for the grades, and view detailed reports.

### 5/5 — Super App!

*2017-08-24, version 3.0.2*

I use this to keep track of my community college class attendance. Easy to use and free!

### 5/5 — Great

*2017-06-23, version 3.0.2*

We need update

### 5/5 — Great app, which would be even better with a few modifications...

*2017-06-10, version 3.0.2*

This is a brilliant app! I use it for all my teaching, as a secondary art teacher. I would only suggest a few modifications:
(1) I often print rubrics for student feedback. Because I don't have an apple printer I have to individually send each rubric via email to be printed. It would be great if the app had a bulk send function.
(2) In the final report section it only gives students letter grades for their average grade. It would be great if each assessment included a letter grade as well.
(3) It would be helpful if rubrics had a "not submitted" option.
(4) As an art teacher I would like to attach photos of student work to each student assessment. This would be helpful for report writing.

### 5/5 — Very efficiently designed

*2017-02-21, version 3.0.2*

Before reading any more reviews, download it and just TRY it. I never write reviews, but after playing with this app for a week and studying it's features, I am in love. It is so user-friendly and provides graphs and visual reports to help you track attendance patterns. I use it for my job to take record of who shows up and it is so easy to set up and then use. The free version only offers 3 "courses" (groups), but with just those 3, all the features are pretty much unlocked. I have 5 groups so I bought the attendance package. Very useful and I am very proud of my investment.

### 5/5 — Homeschool -Love it!

*2017-02-16, version 3.0.2*

Feb 16, 2017 Update
THANKS FOR THE BULK COPY OF A TERM❤
Great!!

October 26, 2016
Great update!  Thanks for the movable courses. Thanks for the color options.  Thanks that the calendar works again in the iphone update. Thanks for the backups.  Thanks for the customized name.  Thanks for the easy date access and the new sliding bar on the work that reveals notes and reports.  Thanks for listening.
_______________

Thanks.  So easy. I upgraded at $7.99 to place about 11 subjects (actually 44 because of four quarters that I entered --though you can do unlimited.) Great job. I also added a separate Attendance  "class" and Awards/Achievements "class" so that I could print it as one sheet.  But I love that you can also add the date to assignments because then the assignment shows up on the in-app calendar.

I like this app better than iDoceo because it prints ALL of the classes, rather than just one class at a time and it also adds up the grades for you automatically. That is all I need because it is like an automatic report card.

Though this app has many great features, I:
🔹Would prefer printable reports rather than email to print.
🔹Would love to have the iCloud and Dropbox option.
🔹Would love if it synced to my calendar.
🔹Would love to customize the school name, logo, header color, etc.
🔹Would love to print the in-app calendar because it can work as a daily lesson planner and would like to see grades in the in-app cal.
🔹Would prefer a universal photo image for each term or year rather than to have to change each student image for each class if updating their profile photo.
🔹Would love to have the option of child's photo on their printable record.
☑️Would love to have "bulk copy" for classes instead of copying one class at a time to create the next term.
🔹Would love to be able to change class category "on the fly" within assignments --instead of having to delete the assignment and rewrite it under a different class name (if I accidentally recored it in the wrong place).
🔹Would love to be able to choose classes for a Detailed Class Report.
🔹Would love it if dates were included in the Detailed Class Report.

TIPS:
I create my Quarters/Terms like: 
Quarter 1.4, Quarter 2.4, Quarter 3.4 Quarter 4.4 for 2014 (Quarters in 4th grade)
Quarter 1.3, Quarter 2.3, Quarter 3.3, Quarter 4.4 for 2013 (Quarters in 3rd grade)

Instead of Quarter 1, Quarter 2, etc. so the app can distinguish.

The most important feature this app is missing is syncing options. I wish it would sync from my iPhone to iPad so I don't do double recording. Other than that, if someone else creates an app like this one with sync, this app may lose its following because syncing is necessary nowadays.
