### 2/5 — Not enough options

*2026-06-11, version 3.25*

I used this to find what grads I need to get and there was no way to do that

### 2/5 — Changed so you have to pay

*2026-05-06, version 3.23*

They changed key features like “grouped” grades so you have to pay; will not be using anymore unfortunately :(

### 4/5 — Life Saver

*2026-02-09, version 3.19*

I attend a university that utilizes D2L and professors have the authority to not publicly disclose your grades to you. This app has not only bridged that gap but has also helped me estimate what grades to expect/target and keeps me aware of my GPA. 

The only “problem” I run into is tracking courses that use points system. I would absolutely change my rating to 5 if that was ever implemented!

### 4/5 — Amazing Grade Tracker

*2026-01-20, version 3.19*

This help me to keep up with my grades and what I need to make to pass the semester

### 3/5 — Love but now disappointed

*2025-12-05, version 3.19*

I love this app. I’ve been using it for 4 years now and it has been a great and a simple way to track my gpa and courses in uni. I paid a one time fee for the full version years ago, and now it’s requiring me to pay a monthly fee to add more courses for next semester. I’m incredibly disappointed. A one time fee is reasonable, but a monthly payment now is a bit ridiculous when I can just get a spreadsheet template to use and do it on google or excel. While it’s “way less than tuition” as they say in the app, as a student paying for everything on their own, that money begins to add up.

### 5/5 — Lifesaver

*2025-11-21, version 3.18*

I’m taking early childhood education, and we can’t see our marks until the end of semester. I’ve asked my professors and they’ve said the marks shown here are accurate, and I love having an idea on how I’m doing in each class :)

### 4/5 — Rate

*2025-11-11, version 3.18*

The only thing I don’t like is that you can only add a couple classes before you have to pay.

### 5/5 — Genius Idea

*2025-11-04, version 3.18*

That was a Genius Idea!

### 5/5 — Loveee

*2025-11-02, version 3.18*

Definitely recommend, helps me keep track of my grades especially because in my school grades arent available on demand

### 5/5 — Great app, wish there wasn’t a paywall for more classes

*2025-10-11, version 3.17*

Really nice app, no glitches or issues. Just wish I could have more than 3 current classes.

### 4/5 — Good App

*2025-10-05, version 3.16*

I like the app a lot, it makes it easy to stay on top of you GPA.

### 5/5 — Peace of mind

*2025-08-04, version 3.16*

This app has been my saving grace during nursing school. For anyone thinking about it: do it! I cannot tell you how helpful this app has been to give me goals for assignments. If you’re in nursing school I highly recommend!

### 5/5 — Nursing student.

*2025-07-01, version 3.16*

Great way to keep up with your grades and see what scores are needed to pass your exams. Great tool.

### 5/5 — Suggested update

*2025-05-28, version 3.16*

I loveeeeee this app! I’ve used it through my whole undergrad. One suggestion I would add is maybe adding a due date feature for the assignments! Overall! Lovely app!

### 5/5 — Goated App 🐐

*2025-05-11, version 3.16*

I’ve been using app since I started college, I’m now almost a senior. It’s always been super simple and easy to use.

### 4/5 — Wish I could change it for Australia Univeristy Grades

*2025-04-15, version 3.16*

This app is absolutely fantastic. Only downfall is I can’t change the grades from A, B, C, etc to Australia University grading which is HD, D, C, etc to

### 3/5 — W app

### 3/5 — Great but only 3 free courses

### 1/5 — Cost

*2026-02-06, version 3.19*

Can’t do anything without getting premium

### 1/5 — bad app

*2025-12-15, version 3.19*

if i could i would give this app a zero. not only do you need to pay for most of the stuff but you need to make all the assignments and percentages yourself instead of signing in. i highly recommend bessy instead

### 1/5 — You have to pay.

*2025-02-27, version 3.16*

I was so extremely excited to use this app to keep track of my GPA and calculate test scores. I was only able to put 3 classes before it made me pay. So disappointing.

### 1/5 — Money grab update

*2025-02-16, version 3.16*

They made it so you have to pay for more than 3 courses🤦‍♂️ way to kill an app

### 1/5 — paywall

*2024-10-21, version 3.16*

this app is supposed to help struggling students meet there goals. this isn’t any special app, its not magic. we shouldn’t have to pay a subscription to stay organized. if it was a cheap one time payment i would pay but a subscription for a student to stay organized in a basic app is crazy. they care more about the money than your grades.

### 1/5 — LOST ALL MY GRADES

*2024-06-02, version 3.16*

This app worked great in the beginning. I'm in my third semester and as I'm trying to put my grades in, they all delete after I close the app!! I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling and I checked for updates on my phone and on the app, nothing helped ! I tried emailing support for help and no one got back to me. And now all my grades are gone!! Do not trust this app.

### 1/5 — Costs money

*2024-04-09, version 3.16*

I don’t like this app. I was only allowed to create 3 classes, If i wanted to do more i would need to pay a monthly cost. All i want to do is check my grades and see what they would be without having to pay.

### 1/5 — Chug

*2024-02-02, version 3.15*

Does not let me down load it bc of my type of internet

### 1/5 — Not at all accurate

*2023-10-24, version 3.14*

Firstly none of the calculated grades are accurate which defeats the purpose of even using this app. Secondly I can’t seem to enter extra credit, even if I set the item under the extra credit tab it will not let me put 5/0 for example. Its very frustrating. Even without calculating in the extra credit I’m getting in my classes the calculated grade is not accurate according to my school website. I’ve tried using the point system vs the weight % system and they are both off by 5-10%.

### 1/5 — Doesn’t calculate your current grade properly?

*2023-10-10, version 3.14*

Pretty sure the math is busted on this one because the current grade just displays whatever I got on my assignment but doesn’t account for the weight of the assignment. Like if I got 75% on an assignment worth 20% it’ll say my current overall grade is 75% even though it’s actually 15% (75% of 20)

### 5/5 — LOVE IT

*2026-08-06, version 3.27*

Love this app helps me not stress

### 5/5 — So simple and useful

*2026-05-07, version 3.23*

This app has helped me to reach the grades I have set for myself in a very easy, rewarding way. It seems daunting at first, but entering the syllabus points is easy & you can update them as you work through the semester! I also love that it gives me “required grades” to meet my goal based on my performance so far & my target number. Additionally, my school portal doesn't give me a “number” for my grade - just simply “A” or “B”, etc., so knowing my exact grade is super beneficial. So far 5/5 - curious how well it works adding more semesters.

### 5/5 — The best to follow up the grades

*2026-04-30, version 3.22*

I always had problems to know the exact grade I have at certain moments following exams and assignments. But, now with this app, I know what grade I need to pass the course. And you can even set the desired grade you want to pass the the course. No more ChatGPT to help me, and no more calculator. This is more than enough

### 5/5 — Best Grade Tracker

*2026-02-28, version 3.20*

I love using this app to track my grades and plugging in different grades to figure out what i need to make!

### 5/5 — Works

*2026-02-18, version 3.19*

It works and it gives me relief

### 5/5 — User Friendly

*2026-01-19, version 3.19*

I wanted a grading system that would allow me to weigh assignments easily.  This fit the bill!  It is simple to use.  For example, in my math classes I am able to make each test worth 6.6% of the grade and have homework, as a whole, count for 10%.  I also appreciate that it is affordable.  Most things these days are a monthly fee.  At the time of this review the full version of this app only cost $10 a year.  The free version allows you to add 4 students I believe.  Hope this simple review helps.

### 5/5 — Genius Idea

*2026-01-17, version 3.19*

That was a Genius Idea! It could be cool if you add a report card button

### 5/5 — Love the app

*2025-12-09, version 3.19*

I really love the app. It’s really helped me keep track of all my grades and GPA for different applications and other uses.

### 5/5 — Easy to use

*2025-12-08, version 3.19*

This helped me keep track of what grades I needed to make during my course. Very simple to navigate. I’ll continue using this throughout my studies.

### 5/5 — Great

*2025-12-08, version 3.19*

You have carried me through my nursing journey
