Just keeps loading - does not work

I just downloaded the app, hoping it was less clunky than the website and it doesn’t even work. I also noticed they haven’t updated it in 4 years, so there you go. Don’t waste your time. Stick with the website.

App keeps quitting

Just tried the app in a classroom environment and if quit every 10 minutes. Needed more stability to be functional.

Simple

Haven't tried using the app with my students yet, but it seems pretty basic. One really annoying this is that it doesn't support landscape mode (yet) so you have a really tiny portrait mode keypad to peck away on. I'll wait patiently for the updates
