Would like a refund
Extremely disappointed in this app. I read the reviews and thought it would be great to help me keep attendance if the teams I coach. Difficult to use. Please refund the cost
Excellent
This app is great and the support is even better. It helps so much in tracking data for my classes.
Cvs import procedure
Importing cvs can be a pain. Videos are helpful, but he talks to fast and doesn’t take the time to really explain well.
Just what we need!
Quick response when I had a problem with email button not showing up. As soon as I emailed with a question I had an almost immediate response with possible solutions. I have been using this app for a year and a half to take attendance at church. It is a wonderful app. I recommend it!!
Choir folders
I’m one of those users who has a class of 130 people, and scanning binders is super handy! I appreciate just being able to do it
If I had a super wish list, it would be:
Live update/sync between multiple devices (I have multiple iPads in my class, so if it was simple to scan with two and speed up the process and have it sync... well that’d be the dream)!
Also, is it ios13 supported already? Thanks for your work!

Outstanding App For Teachers
My colleagues and I have been using this app for years with great success. If you are a teacher who regularly works with large amounts of students, and are looking for a way to quickly take attendance, this is THE app! The developer is also accessible and helpful if you need to contact him. As a teacher, this is one of the few apps that I’ve not only used for years but has truly made the attendance-taking part of my job much easier. If I could give it 6 stars I would.

Very good App
I have used this app for many, many years and....I purchased an iPad just to use this app, which is not on Android. It accomplishes my goal, which is relating student name to face to attendance.
The Attendance app has been critical to me for a long time because I could quickly and easily capture student photo with student name and email those pictures with 2 clicks to supporting colleagues. I am still learning the new app & Mr. Dave is very responsive and has an FAQ web page with fast to-the-point tutorials that address your needs.
There are various reports to email and I do hope that a one-click solution for emailing photos will be added.
I absolutely love this app that is clearly by a teacher for teachers.

Great app for attendance...
I am a choir director and have used Attendance2 for years. It has never been the “prettiest” app, but does it ever do the job.
The developer does a great job of responding to questions.
I have used this app to have choirs of 60 students scan in before class (I know of one director who had 120 and had students scan in via two different iPads...one for males, one for females). I have used it on a tour, having students scan in as they walk by me.
There are a number of ways to handle the scanning ability (QR codes). You can generate the QR codes outside the app, or the app will do so as well. You can print them or distribute them digitally. I found that my high school students, particularly on tour, would take a picture of the QR code and scan in with their phone—the backlighting of a phone works GREAT.
Also...printing the QR code on labels (I bought a box of full page 1/2 page UPS labels), I could put labels in folders, causing students to have to have their folder at the start of class (there is a tendency in choir for students to get their folders AFTER warm-ups, which is always an annoyance for the teacher).
I have taken attendance a number of ways, and this has always been the most effective and accurate. I can’t praise this app highly enough.
So yes, it isn’t “pretty.” It doesn’t matter...it is a heavy weight champ in my world.

Where are the roster?
I truly enjoy using the app. However, I wish the app would allow you to generate a daily roster of the students attendance.
Support
The developer was quick to respond back to me with quick fixes for the issues I was having. Thanks!!
Miss the original app!
I was forced to switch to the new version when the original app stopped working after an update, and boy, do I miss the old version! It was just much more user-friendly and intuitive. If possible, please get the buttons on the bottom of the screen back! I will most likely continue to use this app as it is still the best I could find, but I miss the simplicity of the original app.

I have gained so much class time!
As a choral director with classes of up to 50-60 kids, this app has been an absolute life saver! My kids each have a code on their folder, and they scan in as they enter the room!
Perfect for music teachers
I have been using Attendance 1 for a number of years now and it has saved me bags of time dealing with paper registers.
I have just upgraded to this version and I am overwhelmed with the new features.
The reports are perfect as I am able to email a school with the attendance of a class within a set time period in minutes.
Tried most of the similar apps and this one is the best one out there!

Amazing!
This really is a first class app! This is a go to app for any kind environment where you need to take a register and/or even keep track of people. Works great with the QR scan. The developer is also very obliging in that he's happy to listen to users and responds to them as well. Great work!
Last date of attendance
This is a really good app. I used it to take attendance for the past three years. I teach at a community college, and normally have around five on ground classes 25 to 30 students in each class. I recommended the app to a colleague and he now uses it, and thinks it's awesome too!
Great app, decent UI
Review # 3 --- This app has definitely helped me grow my business. But with that had come another need to share the attendance among multiple coaches. I'd still recommend this app above all the rest, but it would seem fairly simple to add a one button sync to a Dropbox file that could also be shared. Right now the workaround is ridiculously inefficient. Also, for anyone who uses this data to dump to google sheets to process it all, I've found that it's simpler to save the emailed CSV directly to my online server and then link it to auto update on Sheets with the =importdata("URL") formula. Now I can do it all from my phone!
Review # 2 *after update* --- After creating a spreadsheet that filtered everything correctly, this app works perfect. The UI improvement of the header color was a great and needed touch. Once you get to know the app, it's good. Still wish I could've just customized the spreadsheet output, rather than use a series of formulas and several sheets.
Review #1 --- I wish the look and functionality were like the Red Hawk Attendance app. This one is a bit confusing and a tad tedious. Love the customization and calculations. I'd like it even more so if you could customize the exported spreadsheet a bit. My specific want would be to have just the names and the total scores showing. After months worth of classes, that's a lot of data to sort on the horizontal axis of my google doc.
Overall, great app.

Ski Trip - Made Easy
For several years we have been using Attendance to keep track of @ 150 kids on an annual ski trip, among @ 15 chaperones.
The data we use is pretty simple and the formatting is rudimentary (i.e. not flashy) but then information is critical and at finger tips of every chaperone.
On the six hour bus ride to VT we have each kid come to the front and we verify all information and take their picture to add to the file. Having the picture on hand also good for safety, name recognition, etc.

Best I could find but...
I was looking for a simple way to capture attendance AND analyze the captured data. I used the previous app "Attendance" which would let me dump data to DropBox in a form I could be dropped into a database table without too much difficulty. Attendance2 added many nice new features. It really is a great app for most people, but the reporting is not friendly to databases. It takes a lot of effort to convert reports to simple normalized form, which would support data analysis. So, I went back to the old app until I acquired an iPhone 6s, which broke Attendance. Finally, I decided I did not need many bells and whistles and tried using Google sheets and Excel file on DropBox on my phone and then pulling the data down to Excel with ODBC queries. Both methods work great and I get data in neat tables for analysis. So for most of you, I would recommend Attendance2, but if you want to gather data tables for your own analysis, keep looking.

Great App!
I have used this app to take attendance for my select choirs for the past year. Works smoothly to do everything it's supposed to do, and support is great. I emailed the app developer and had a solution to my problem (my error!) incredibly fast. Highly recommended!
This app is beyond amazing!
Seriously the best $5 I've ever spent. Deserves WAY more attention!
I don't know of any other app that allows attendance to be taken with personal QR codes. I just give each high school student a print out, they take a pic of it and scan it each time they come in.
You can even personalize late times, class times, and if you want to email them or their parent on account of an absence.
This app has saved me so much time, whoever developed this is an angel!
