## Most critical reviews (8 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Does not work

*2020-12-14, version 2.2.2*

When I open the application it does not move beyond the eel come screen.
Really disappointing for such a large company and so many end users.

### 1/5 — Crashed

*2020-01-24, version 2.1.0*

Got one observation done and it crashes.  Defeated it and tried to reinstall but doesn’t seem to want to play

### 1/5 — Screen Orientation

*2018-11-14, version 2.1.0*

The app will not orient the screen to landscape to make the keyboard useful on the iPad.

### 1/5 — Landscape

*2018-01-24, version 2.1.0*

Limiting the app to portrait on the iPhone could be plausible, but to limit this on the iPad is preposterous.  Please fix with an update as quickly as possible.

### 1/5 — Doesn't work

*2017-02-15, version 2.0.0*

This version of the app is not currently working on any of my devices. When it was working last week it was weird on both the iPad and the phone as it will not longer orient to the landscape setting. Also while rating areas sometimes the numbers do not show up so you have to go back and rate multiple times.

### 1/5 — Screen Orientation

*2017-02-02, version 2.0.0*

With the 1/15/17 update you cannot change the screen orientation.  Makes using a keyboard with an iPad pointless. Forced to use keyboard on the iPad itself.

### 2/5 — App Needs Update

*2025-05-31, version 3.1.1*

The app often logs users out frequently for no reason. Also, it lags and notes entered often do not appear. After selecting the type of observation, it does not take users back to options ending up logging in and out which is time consuming.

### 2/5 — Lit Spclst

*2017-01-17, version 2.0.0*

New update is awkward on iPad with keyboard. The horizontal view is not available and we can no longer choose to send the observation to the principal's email with the teacher name in the name slot. The app makes the email address the teacher name. As a district employee and not a building one, I prefer to send observations to the principal and not the teacher who may not know me.
