### 1/5 — Glitchy

*2020-04-07*

It doesn’t work and keeps crashing

**Developer response:** If the Edsby app is crashing on your device, want to be part of the solution? Could you share information about what you are doing to make it crash and details of what happened? Details: https://www.edsby.com/app-white-screen-debugging/

### 1/5 — This app sucks

*2020-03-26*

I hate it. Please just use google classroom

**Developer response:** Edsby is improving its mobile apps. The main Edsby user experience is via desktop or laptop web browser. Point a browser to your school or district’s Edsby server address, in the form of http://xxxx.edsby.com, where xxxx is your Edsby server address.

### 1/5 — Capture not functional

*2020-03-16*

Downloaded the app and printed the QR codes easily.  Took a picture and got stuck, unable to post or anything.  Disappointed.

**Developer response:** That's not the behavior you should be experiencing. Sounds like you're a teacher; please contact the Edsby support team at your school or district, or email support@edsby.com with specifics.

### 1/5 — Trash

*2019-12-18*

Edsby big bad.
Oh hey wow, they responded on my birthday. Thanks Edsby-Chan for responding. I feel validated and almost obligated to raise my review score. 
(The whole teacher only thing doesn’t feel properly marketed. I’d have loved it if you made available for student use. It seems like a practical tool.)
Also, the review literally said edsby big bad. It was a dang joke.

**Developer response:** This app is not intended to do anything for you as a student unless your teacher enables it by giving you a special code.

### 1/5 — Rahuel

*2019-10-07*

It’s terrible just like the teacher

**Developer response:** This app is not intended to do anything for you as a student unless your teacher enables it by giving you a special code.

### 1/5 — Stuck

*2019-09-12, version 1.0.3*

This app is getting stuck on after you capture an image and does not allow you to move forward with evidence. Please fix the bug!

### 1/5 — Keeps crashing

*2024-01-25*

Every time I scan a student’s QR code, the app crashes. Please update, when the app is working it saves so much time!

**Developer response:** There is a known issue with the Edsby Capture app for iOS not properly scanning QR codes with iPhone 15. The app will be updated soon with a fix.

### 1/5 — Whyyyy

*2024-01-15*

This is literally the most useless app I’ve ever seen

**Developer response:** This app is used for one very specific thing in Edsby. If you can't use it, it's because your teacher doesn't need you to use it, and so hasn't given you the special QR code it requires.

### 1/5 — No

*2021-04-27*

It’s just bad

### 1/5 — Update made things worse

*2021-01-26*

There was a recent update and now I have to scan the QR code before each picture. Before, I would scan the QR code and I copied upload all the work. Now, I scan then take a pic and upload, scan take a pic and upload. Takes me triple the time. This update would be fine if you are uploading one single photo however, i don’t see how that happens for anyone. I’m usually uploading a min of 5-8 pictures each upload. Please change back to make it easier

**Developer response:** The QR scanning change was intentional for security reasons with shared devices in a classroom, the primary way the Capture app is used. Investigating a design change to make your use case easier, tho.

### 1/5 — Not user friendly

*2020-12-18*

It would be a good app if I could upload pictures from my library but as it is now I have to scan my child’s QR code then I can take a picture. I’m using it to send letters my son finds to his kindergarten teacher but is impractical unless we’re home. As if I’m going to carry around a binder with his QR code everywhere I go.

**Developer response:** There might be a misunderstanding here. You should only be using the Edsby Capture app if directed by your child's teacher. It's not for uploading things from your library and was never intended to be for security reasons. It's normally supposed to be used in classrooms on shared devices. Sounds like you should be using the Edsby app, not Edsby Capture.

### 1/5 — Terrible

*2020-09-30*

I can’t see anything I’ve uploaded, and can’t see the teachers comments.... so frustrating! I have no idea if the teacher is even receiving the work!! What a waste of time.

### 1/5 — ew

*2020-09-22*

it sucks🕺❤️😜😃

### 1/5 — Worst APP IN THE HISTORY OF APPS

*2020-09-15*

Stupid app no use, garbage, the cheapest app ever made, useless,

### 1/5 — Straight Garbage

*2020-06-10*

Not user friendly at all compared to other student learning apps like Seasaw. Unfortunate that some
Employers force this app on their employees.

### 1/5 — Edsby Developer

*2020-05-11*

Our app is bad

## Most praised reviews (8 highest-rated)

### 5/5 — No

*2023-09-20*

I would never use this app

**Developer response:** You don't need to use this app. Everything it does can be done in the main Edsby app. This app makes it easier, but you can upload pictures and video to Edsby however you want. Even with a web browser.

### 5/5 — Better

*2021-01-18*

Thay updated the app!

**Developer response:** Thanks.

### 4/5 — Now works

*2019-11-06*

Thanks for the update, it is now able to send photos to the student files.

**Developer response:** Glad to hear all is well. Thanks.

### 3/5 — Not a very good revamp

*2021-01-16*

Have to scan the QR code now before EVERY picture/video. Also can’t take pictures in a horizontal orientation anymore. You guys can do better.

**Developer response:** The QR scanning change was intentional for security reasons with shared devices in a classroom, the primary intended use case of the Capture app. Horizontal picture support will be fixed. It was there but apparently broke.

### 2/5 — Too quick in important areas

*2025-05-01*

This app needs an update so that the name of the student you’re submitting on behalf of is present throughout the whole submission process. Right now, you scan their QR code (it appears SUPER quick, then disappears). If you have multiple QR codes near each other, it’s not always clear which one this app picked up on and because you can’t confirm until you’ve submitted, it’s just not great.

**Developer response:** The Edsby Capture app will be revised soon to address this issue.

### 2/5 — Edsby capture issues

*2024-09-14*

When Edsby capture worked I used it all the time.  Unfortunately it will not worker with my newer iPhone 15 pro.  Disappointing

**Developer response:** Capture will be updated soon to work with the iPhone 15. Stand by.

### 2/5 — It’s ok for what it offers

*2021-05-11*

Not the greatest but ok

**Developer response:** Sounds like you're using the wrong app. Edsby Capture is intended for use by students in classrooms on shared devices like tablet computers. If you're a parent, ask your child's teacher whether you should be using the main Edsby app, not Edsby Capture.

### 2/5 — Cannot see the uploaded photos

*2020-04-16*

I uploaded several photos but can only see one?!? Very frustrating.
