Poor
Hardly ever works!
Poor
We have loads of issues connecting on WiFi with iPads that are working with everything else
T.E.R.R.I.B.L.E.
Well, just to make this clear, what I'm saying is that this app just doesn't make any sense. Again, the interface is uglier than a chihuahua and a bulldog put together, and this whole Groupcall thing is just too far out of hand. Just like all other Groupcall apps, this load of garbage - (no, sorry, that's offensive to garbage...) This existence I mean crashes like a car driven by a drunk guy on drugs. I am a professional developer and I'm sure that whoever built this app had a screen loose. (Probably more than one, actually). This stuff should be banned from the App Store and from the Google Play Store, as I did a bit of research and learned that this app does not comply with the new Data Protection Law, and keeps the data of your children and sells it to 3rd party companies. Whatever you do, don't let it be installing this app, or any other of Groupcall's apps. I really hope that you guys read this and listen to what I'm saying, because I'm not lying.ಠ_ಠ

Great principle poor execution
Works intermittently. Even on WiFi. Also limited in its ability to access sims with regards to data entry and reports.
Very Good
Ignore the people who couldn't get this to work. Ive used in multiple schools and when the firewall and server are set correctly this is very fast, easy to manage and well received app.
It does take planning though and a decent internet connection to get it to work properly off site. Support is good when they are needed.

Demo Password
Training staff on the software has become impossible as the demo password is not given for the demo (teachwe) user
Aw
The functionality is good, but it crashes daily, often requiring a full power down and restart to clear, as it doesn't appear in the running apps when I double click the home button.
Also, while logging behaviour and achievements there is no method of multiple selection from the list of students, making working with more than one student laborious and repetitive.

Useful
This app is used by cover supervisors and PE staff mainly to register classes who don’t have access to a pc or don’t have classes attached to them.
it has its error message issues but once the app is closed down and restarted it works.

Great User Friendly App
Schools have been waiting for mobile access to MIS data for a long time and I'm pleased to say that Emerge has ticked that box!
Teachers can now easily record attendance both in the classroom and off-site e.g. school trips. In addition, they have flexible access to core MIS data via this user friendly App.
The ability to record behaviour and achievement using the latest version is exactly what schools want. Great!!

Great App - easy to use
I found this very intuitive to use, performance over wifi great & very easy to take registers. Love the fact i can pull up a parents number in seconds !
Useful app
Great for taking attendance both in the school and offline in the field.
New version also allows entering behaviour with photos & video which gets written back to SIMS.
A great timesaver!

Unstable, unreliable & has a lot to learn from others
My school uses SIMS and trailed this software (your school must have an extra module within SIMS installed). It was not reliable, took ages to load and was not intuitive. As a result the whole thing was poorly implemented.
They should take a look at something like Stearsoft. I would use this except my school does not use their PC software and I own a Mac. Great sync features unlike this badly designed app.
The app I use is Attendance (version 2.0 due out soon) as it is simple to use, has a dropbox backup (due to lack of sync) and is easy import/export using csv files.
I do not recommend Emerge, a badly implemented poorly thought out and buggy app.

Great mobile MIS
This app allows you to access your schools MIS system (SIMS) via any iOS device.
It does tend to chug on iPhone 3G but on 3GS, 4's and iPads it works like a dream. Groupcall have been great with set up and install and are really improving the software with the new versions. This latest update allows users to complete other peoples registers rather than just their own. The system will work offline and re-sync when back in school wifi range. Grey for people such as PE departments. Access to student details, timetables and behaviour reports are great and really help dealing with student when patrolling the school.
We are now rolling out to SMT members, heads of house and looking at other uses. Only reason I've not given 5 stars is this version is playing up on the old 3G handsets.
