It’s unusable. ### 3/5 — App keeps crashing *2024-10-30, version 1.0.8* I love this app, it’s so helpful keeping track of my grades. I payed for the premium but every time I change anything the app crashes ### 2/5 — Not the best *2023-10-19, version 1.0.8* You have to pay for more than three grades!!! ### 4/5 — Great app *2022-12-05, version 1.0.8* I love this app and how i can calculate future test scores the only thing that would make this perfect is the ability to make the total amt of points a decimal number like making the denominator a decimal number bc some of my assignments are not out of whole numbers I love this app so much ### 3/5 — Not what I wanted *2022-11-16, version 1.0.8* Nothing wrong with the app it’s just not what I was looking for ### 4/5 — Room to improve *2022-03-19, version 1.0.8* It’s pretty great but it can definitely be better. It would be nice if we could change the weightings of the assessments in the courses and also change the order of the subjects in order of priority, but other than that its pretty awesome ### 2/5 — Did work until I paid for it *2022-02-06, version 1.0.8* I used this last trimester and loved it, decided to pay for the full version today, now when I try to add in my assessments I can do one and as soon as I click the next space it’s crashes so I can’t add anything not even the course saves, never had that happen until I bought the full version ### 4/5 — Handy but costs to add more than three classes *2022-01-05, version 1.0.8* When putting in classes, there's no option to go by points rather than percentage of grade per category. Having to go through the grade book to calculate every percentage was a hassle, but that's not what annoyed me the most. There was no heads up that it costs to add more than three classes. It's only 99 cents but still, you'd think something about it would be mentioned. Other than all that, it's easy to use and I haven't encountered any real problems. ### 4/5 — User Friendly *2021-02-25, version 1.0.8* This app is a great way to keep track of grades, very user friendly. I have been using it to track grades for my homeschooler. I would like to see the ability to print a report card. ### 3/5 — Maybe not enough?? *2021-02-01, version 1.0.8* I really like this app, super convenient and great thinking behind it, however I can only have three classes at a time??? I have 8 classes that I’m trying to keep track of and do not really want to pay for premium. ### 4/5 — Dang it *2020-11-15, version 1.0.8* It would have been a 5 star if I could put custom colors ### 3/5 — um *2020-06-08* great app, love the concept and is easy to use. but why on earth do you have to PAY to have more than 3 classes? thats so weird. literally just have 1 more class to add :/ bit annoying but oh well, all round great app ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Higher total *2024-11-23, version 1.0.8* Make the total higher I need it to be 1000 ### 1/5 — Crashing *2024-04-08, version 1.0.8* Tried to add a course and it crashes while trying to add the individual assessments. Every-time! Unusable on iPhone 15. ### 1/5 — Angry *2023-12-18, version 1.0.8* I was 3 classes in and it told me to buy more and i couldn’t put anymore than 3 ### 1/5 — making me pay again! *2023-10-10, version 1.0.8* this is the 3rd time where ive upgraded by phone and it says i have not purchased premium when i clearly have 3 years ago. yes it is only $1 but as ive already paid for this once, i shouldnt need to pay for it again ### 1/5 — Keeps crashing *2021-05-04, version 1.0.8* Can’t even put in a class without it crashing. And the person who recommended it said thag when she got a new phone the app didn’t sync and messed up her classes and grades. So she had to redo all the input. Like why would you want to waste time doing that. What a poor use of time ### 1/5 — This app is awful it keeps taking me out. *2021-03-03, version 1.0.8* AWFUL ### 1/5 — Keeps crashing! *2020-09-21, version 1.0.8* I have an iPhone XS so it’s not my phone! Keeps crashing and it’s frustrating, why would I pay for this? ### 1/5 — Want a Refund *2020-06-20, version 1.0.8* I paid for this app to get rid of ads and unlock more grade space. However, it is still not possible to edit the weightings and such after the fact. You have to delete an entire course to do so. I don’t know all my assessment weightings, and Id like to be able to edit them. ### 1/5 — Crashes *2019-08-24, version 1.0.8* I added one class but when I try to add another it crashes. ### 1/5 — Can’t sign in *2019-08-04, version 1.0.8* There’s no option to sign in on Apple device only on android, am I missing something? ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — FINALLY! *2023-04-19, version 1.0.8* I’ve spent the ENTIRE semester looking for an app that will calculate my grade average for me because in my current college program, they don’t allow us to see our grade (absolutely absurd & feels illegal I know). I finally found one that isn’t complicated and uses percentage based ones and not “points”. So grateful to have that weight lifted off my shoulders. However, our teachers don’t round up our grades and the calculator will, so just make sure you put your percentage in so it doesn’t round up so that you stay accurate. Otherwise, great app! ### 5/5 — Good app but the download process could be optimized *2022-04-15, version 1.0.8* Really helped me achieve my goal gpa of a 2.01 in Canadian Studies. I like the easy to use aspect of this and the colors. I did drop my phone and the screen broke while trying to download. The double tap on side button to download should be changed as that was the root cause. Please get on that. I won’t be perusing legal action but I definitely did not purchase the premium plan. ### 5/5 — Life savor *2022-01-06, version 1.0.8* I am an OCD TYPE and bad at math. This saved me during my ADN degree and currently gives me peace of mind while I work on my BSN. Adult honors student with high anxiety. 🥰. Best app for grade calculations I have tried others!!! ### 5/5 — Absolute College Necessity *2020-09-17, version 1.0.8* This app is perfect if you looking for a convenient place to log grades and see how each grade effects your overall grade in the class. The app is super straightforward and is easy to use. I’ve also bought the premium version (since the free version allows up to 4 classes and I’m taking 7 classes) for a really great deal of .99 cents. Highly recommended. The only thing that I wish the app had was a way for you to calculate your GPA, but since the purpose of the app is to track Grades, I can’t complain at all. ### 5/5 — Life saver *2019-11-17, version 1.0.8* This app has taken the guessing out of what I need to get on an exam completely out! Love it! ### 5/5 — Great to use *2019-05-10, version 1.0.8* Love this app! It works perfectly to evaluate my grades! I’m a college student so this is very helpful! Thanks! ### 5/5 — Amazing *2019-04-23, version 1.0.8* Up till now, the app has been amazing. I payed for the premium version, because I needed more classes. I do find it stupid that we need to pay for that, but the price was reasonable. Overall the app is very simple to use and all I have to do know is wait for the end of the semester to valid how accurate it is. ### 5/5 — Very Flexible *2018-12-16, version 1.0.6* This is a great and simple way to calculate grades. ### 5/5 — Wish I was back in school so I could use this *2018-11-16, version 1.0.0* I was seriously looking for something like this when I was in college.. exactly what I wanted. No more throwing numbers into excel! Great app! ### 4/5 — More stuff *2024-01-14, version 1.0.8* I like how this automatically calculates stuff but it would be nice if there is a category weight, marking periods, and repeated assignments becuase I have daily participation grades. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
