However, there’s one annoying thing: whenever an assignment under a weighted-course section that is due this week, the entire thread shows up in ‘this week’ tab. Unfortunately, the specific item that is due isn’t even highlighted, so I have to read through all the other assignments nested to find it. Please fix this problem, and I’ll gladly add the missing stars to my rating. ### 3/5 — 🤷🏼‍♀️ *2024-01-26* I like how you can edit the grade scale, put in your past transcript, and say what type of term you are doing. I don’t like how I can only add two classes and two assignments per class. When I try to add a third to either, it says I need to upgrade to premium. I understand the need to fund your app, and I appreciate that it is only a one time payment (with the choice of paying either $4.99 or $9.99). However, only being able to record two classes and two assignments per class is basically just letting people test something before they buy. If you do not pay, I don’t see how this would be functional for you ### 2/5 — Premium? *2023-11-20, version 5.0.3* You need premium already when you just put 2 assignments? It could be better without that ### 3/5 — Not letting me add the weight and save *2023-09-05, version 5.0.3* It isn’t letting me add the weight of the grade and save it over 20 percent it goes from color to greying and idk what is wrong ### 2/5 — I got premium but it’s not working? *2022-10-27* I purchased the premium so that i could put in all my assignments for my classes but it isnt allowing me to put more than 3. I want to restore my purchase or somehow cancel it since it’s not working but it doesnt even show me my purchase or anything anywhere in the app so I’m basically at a loss now. :/ ### 2/5 — Scam *2022-06-21, version 5.0.3* It bought the 9 dollar premium and when I went to put in the weight as 40 percent I went to do again twice and it didn’t let me put it in ### 3/5 — Glitchy. Needs updates! *2022-03-03, version 5.0.3* I’ve been using this app for awhile now and have always loved it. But i definitely needs an update. It is being very glitchy ### 4/5 — Credits *2022-01-19* Explain credit ### 3/5 — Some things could be fixed. *2021-12-08* I wish there were different things to put in. For example tests, quizzes, and projects are weighted differently but i can’t put it in as such. There’s also no option for AP classes. The only thing this app really has is nice looking software. ### 2/5 — Free version should come with a warning *2021-07-28, version 5.0.3* Why make someone waste time inputting the class, grade scale etc. Only to not get to put in all the assignments. Just put a warning that the free version doesn’t allow this before I waste all the energy ### 1/5 — Old app better *2021-03-11, version 5.0.3* I don’t understand how you “redesign” an app by making it less efficient. The old one was easier to use and it did predictions along with a GPA calculator. Will definitely find a new app. Would not recommend even if it does support dark mode 😒 ### 1/5 — I don’t even know where to start *2021-02-11, version 5.0.3* I really needed this app. And I got premium and it only lets me put 3 grades In and won't let me put anything over 10% ### 1/5 — Somethings wrong *2021-01-28, version 5.0.3* I payed for premium to get the full use of the app and I have yet to see any changes in the app. Please let me know what’s wrong as soon as you can. ### 3/5 — Doesn’t let me save my assignments *2021-01-21, version 5.0.3* Sometimes it’ll work but other times I’ll fill everything out and it won’t let me save ### 2/5 — Disappointed *2020-11-17* I loved this app when I first downloaded it. I was a little disappointed that we could only add one class without having to pay for the full version but it didn’t bother me that much. I even liked the new update. The only thing I didn’t like was the process to update grades. Too many steps was added. But the reason for the low rating is because one day I opened the app to update my grades and all of my classes were gone. I am so upset because it took some time to do and I don’t want to start over. ### 1/5 — Update is so bad *2020-11-15* I don’t even care about the look of the app, but rather the layout of the way grades must be input is terrible!! It used to be so easy to input total and possible points along with adding sub assignments and now it’s a whole complicated process. The app is so laggy and to be honest I have been paying for this app for years and I might have to find something else bc it is not worth my money. **Developer response:** Check out our brand new redesign! This is all fixed! ### 1/5 — Used to be great *2020-11-12, version 5.0.2* Loved this app, then they updated it a couple weeks ago and completely ruined it. It is literally broken now. Freezes constantly, senseless operations. There are way too many steps to now to just change a single grade, used to be one or two clicks at most. Very upset with this. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Can’t do multiple scales *2025-08-18* This app is great at first but if you take any AP classes or classes that our weighted differently you cannot change the scales and if you email them they don’t respond. When you add the scales it is very glitchy as well and if you try to edit the classes they don’t let you edit them. I think there are way better apps if you take classes with different weight scales. ### 1/5 — contradicting marketing and buggy *2025-03-21* “one time purchase” but it’s annual. I would’ve liked for it to also say what features would be unlocked w premium and what features I can use without it. super buggy. it’ll frequently just reset the progress you’ve made when adding assignments. the report bug button doesn’t work and neither does request a feature. when you try and edit an assignment that already has been added it’ll open the menu and then immediately close it. the “sub assignments” menu also frequently resets if you haven’t saved before you’re done. the app has a lot of potential- however the bugs terribly drop the quality of the app. ### 1/5 — I wish it worked *2024-10-23, version 5.0.4* So glitchy I wished it worked so I could use it. It’s quite bothersome once you buy the subscription it stops working. ### 1/5 — Feature Execution Issue *2024-09-26* Update: I don’t know if you’re making changes in the background but the week at a glance project order is wrong. It’s now descending order(?) and I can’t even report it as a bug because that button doesn’t work either. Please fix it. Great app! However, there’s one annoying thing: whenever an assignment under a weighted-course section that is due this week, the entire thread shows up in ‘this week’ tab. Unfortunately, the specific item that is due isn’t even highlighted, so I have to read through all the other assignments nested to find it.

This app looks abandoned and I paid for premium only to find out it does not let you put in the weight of your assignments! It’ll only allow one digit and there is no workaround. Waste of time and money. ### 1/5 — It’s Dumb *2023-07-21, version 5.0.3* Like you have to pay 10 dollars for more courses and you only get two I hate it when I got it I thought it was gonna be a good app but no give us more courses😡😡😡😡😡 ### 1/5 — Why are you doing this *2022-11-17* I’m on iPad but WHY IS IT LAGGING, I can basically do nothing. WORST APP! ### 1/5 — broke *2022-09-22, version 5.0.3* already broken and not working within an hour of purchase. i am a college student and i am going to sob. it was going so good. all my classes finally put in. and BOOM it wont let me add assignments. crying. ### 1/5 — Horrible scam *2021-10-28, version 5.0.3* Ahahhaa if i can i wouldve put 0 star, unbelievable thats its a free app but once you put two assignments and make a class oh you gotta pay. What a joke to be honest just make it cost money in the beginning ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Tamarrion Grade School up *2024-10-10* I am force yourself into thinking about the future in the first instance of the world Studying And Learning is a great place for a beginner in your own right to be present in a world of possibilities for your future in which ### 5/5 — Needs Update *2021-09-20* It’s a really good app and works great for any type of grading scale. Also it can be used to calculate your grade in any way that a teacher might choose to grade. Basically none of the features need to be changed but the app itself needs to be updated it glitches A LOT and seems like the more data you input the slower and more glitchy it gets. Maybe having it linked to a cloud account so all the data isn’t stored on your phone and so you can view your grades on other devices. ### 5/5 — This is great *2021-01-22, version 5.0.3* This is great I recently got yelled at for not doing any of my school work and my grades went threw the roof ### 5/5 — Great App! BUT *2020-01-15* Add a ‘completed’ tab where we can slide over our assignments when we complete them and await our grades! Other than that, REALLY fantastic for grades ### 5/5 — Grades *2019-10-29, version 4.3.1* Es excelente para saber como vas mas o menos con tu promedio. ### 5/5 — amazing *2019-09-22* this app is perfect for university students! ### 5/5 — Amazing!!!!! *2019-08-07, version 4.3.0* THE best grade app I’ve ever used Affordable too ### 5/5 — Love it *2019-04-26, version 4.2.9* Only problem I have with it is it’s not accurate with my real grade it’s off a little and I’m just figuring it out ### 5/5 — So Helpful! *2019-04-09* I have been looking for an app like this for ages, and I wish I would have found it sooner. Knowing exactly what grade I need on each assignment to achieve my goal is so helpful. The only thing I would change is being able to have someway to add the weight of each category, and then have the app automatically calculate the weight of each individual assignment in the category. Other than that, no complaints. ### 5/5 — Happy *2019-02-02, version 4.2.9* OMG I’m glad you made the teacher Stuff --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
