Clunky and time consuming
I’ve got RSI from poorly structured data entry. This app suffers from lack of consideration of which choices are necessary and which just add time and frustration.
Great app with a major bug
I’ve been using this app for a number of years and it’s been brilliant. However, the recent iOS16 update has bugged the share feature making it frustratingly difficult to print or save to pages as the app closes down. The only way to bypass it is some long winded camera permission workaround. I was hoping this would of been fixed by now but it still hasn’t.

Beyond excellent
I rave about this app to any teacher I know, it is brilliant, especially for pupils with SEND as any targets can be inputted and assessed against. Our teachers love it too, it makes assessment a pleasure.
A game changer!
This app is a game changer for us as a college and the ongoing support from the team at EfL is fantastic!
More support needed
I’ve tried many apps for Early Years programming and this is my preferred app. Unfortunately there have been times when updates either to the app or to the iOS on my phone which have resulted in a lot of work being lost. I understand these things happen but every time I have tried to contact the support team for this app I have received no help.
The latest glitch means that I can no longer even use this app and will have to look for alternatives which is very disappointing.

Very good app
I have used this app for 3 years and can not give it a high enough score! It is simple to use and makes observation, assessment and next steps planning really easy!
Glorified spreadsheet, yet not as good as a spreadsheet
Multiple screens make actually releasing updates to parents, or assessing a child/class tedious. No parent version of the app, so they have to log onto a browser to access - something that is inconvenient for many parents. No automatic update email for parents, so they just have to check it periodically. Little flexibility in how children are assessed - all based on numbers of pieces of evidence rather than the quality of each piece (i.e. beginning, securing, mastery). If you want to do this, then it needs to be transferred to the 'assessment book' (another tedious step) when you are allowed to look at one child at a time, rather than the whole class. A number of colleagues have lost data input after hours of work. Feedback to the company is ignored - they really don't care if it works well once they have your school's money. Do not enter into a three year contract with them - make sure it has been thoroughly tested for a year by a range of staff first. It will be more user testing than Evidence do.

Is this app active? No printing??
I get the feeling that this all has been forgotten. The tutorial and help isn't clear.
There is no discernable way to print documents.
I can't even find a way too share.
Links to Facebook are dead links, the websites search is terrible.
YET! The tool itself is great. But without a PRINT option, my evidence is useless. :/

Paperwork made easy!!!
I would highly recommend this app to anyone. Having tried out a variety of apps to make nursery paperwork easier I have found this one to be the easiest to use. It gives you access to a variety of frameworks while also allowing you to easily create your own. Observation are quick and easy to record allowing you to add photos, observations, tag children, link up to your chosen framework, to name a few. The app does all the work for you by linking observations etc to learners profiles. You can even make up tracker sheets. All I can say is I wish I had found it sooner and it would have saved me a mountain of paperwork time!! Huge thanks to Alan for helping with any questions I've had. It's good to know there is a real person available to chat to at any time.

Able to use this app to profile, track and report. Using with kids to put them in control and make it easier for the teacher. Enjoy Lizx
Excellent!
After 10 years of producing 1000's of learning journeys by hand, evidence for learning is a far more simple, time-effective and professional system! We searched plenty of apps, before choosing this one. Easy to use and with the ability to cross reference EYFS area of learning. 👍
Great idea. Doesn't work.
Crashes every single time. (On iPhone 6, latest software).
Shame!
Shame!

I think the app is good and a very quick way to write up an observation, when you get to grips with how it works and learn the steps you need to do to make sure it saves etc as you sometimes find you loose all info just added if you miss a step. I like that the photos can be added, EYFS and child's name is already in the memory and easy to fine/add. The only real negative is that I have had to right a simple step by step guide for the other staff to follow as there does seem to be the odd pGe/step that is extra therefore can be confusing to what you need to do next.

Evidence
This simple app stops you having to waste precious time taking and developing photos, writing observations and hi lighting EYFS profiles. This app does it all, really simple to use and saves hours of admin time. Now you can join in play with the children and do observations.
AMAZING app for simplifying documentation
I've never written a review before now but I just had to write one for this app.
I can't say enough incredible things about it! It is easy to use, the updates are frequent and they are always improving and making an already amazing app even better. Love the new update that displays how many pieces of Evidence you have for each student. I had been thinking that I would love that feature and then Bam! It was here.
The ability to quickly take photos of my students' learning 'in action', add a comment or even scribe what they are discussing amongst themselves is amazing. Linking the learning to the curriculum within the app makes it even better. To have it all organized in one place that is so easily published or accessible for assessments has made tracking and documenting student learning so meaningful and authentic for me and my students. We can go back and reflect on their learning together by viewing a Learning Journey, or I can print out a grid and use the info for reporting. So easy!
The tech support from Gary has been overwhelmingly amazing. Fast replies and always very willing to help troubleshoot when I was starting out.
I teach Senior Kindergarten in a play-based learning environment and this app makes it so easy to document my students' learning all without interrupting the rich learning that is taking place through play. I use it every day, all day and I can't wait to see what update they come out with next!!!

Very good. Time saver. Easy to use

I am so glad I discovered this app as it has given me back my personal time, I am able to capture evidence as it happens. I am looking forward to the upgrade. As an early years professional I highly recommend it to any one having to record evidence on the children in their care and it looks highly professional when sharing reports with parents and carers. I recommend to parents too as they may want to keep a record of their child's development as it would be nice to look back at.

A must have for all teachers.
Brilliant brilliant brilliant, this saves me so much time and the end result looks so professional. Well worth it
Excellent app to reduce teacher admin time with fabulous results!
I highly recommend this App for teachers across all age phases. It supports your assessment criteria with photographic evidence and can be collated for individuals, groups and classes. A fabulous asset to teachers!
