## What is Classroom Seating?

Platzwahl creates seating plans for your class.

Draw your classroom as a grid and add your class, by hand or via CSV import. For each student, note how disruptive they are, whether they should sit at the front, and who they should or shouldn't sit next to.

With Platzwahl Pro, the app turns this into a seating plan with one tap: disruptive students go to the edges and are kept apart, and preferences are respected where possible. A score shows how good the plan is and lists every violation. You can move students by drag and drop at any time.

Free: one room, one class and one seating plan, with students placed by hand.
Platzwahl Pro: unlimited rooms, classes and plans, automatic calculation, PDF export, printing and iCloud sync between iPad and iPhone.

Student data stays on your device. Only if you turn on iCloud Sync is it stored in your private iCloud, with student names and traits end-to-end encrypted.

### 5/5 — Super Tool zur Optimierung von Sitzplänen

*2026-07-05*

Schnelle Einrichtung verschiedener Raum- und Sitzpläne. Funktioniert für normale Klassenzimmer genauso wie für Fachräume wie Computerräume oder Stufensäle. Sehr gute Einstelloptionen zu einzelnen Schülerinnen und Schülern (Störpotential, Sitzwünsche, etc.) mit passenden Optimierungsvorschlägen.

**Developer response:** Danke für das positive Feedback!
