But now it’s no longer working. It’d be awesome if you could update! It’s been a faithful presence on my phone all the way from Takoma Park to B-CC and, now that I’m a senior, I wish I could have it for at least this last year! myMCPS+ just doesn’t have the same charm. **Developer response:** Now all your classes show up, and the Z's and X's work ### 4/5 — Love this *2018-10-02* I love this app it makes it easy to look at my grades and Missing assistants. The only pitfall about this app is that is cost $.99 to buy it. ### 4/5 — Convenient 👍 *2018-09-19* I like it, however, it seems like it publishes grades slower than MCPS portal. Plus, it doesn’t show absences/tardiness. But I liked it overall! ### 4/5 — The new Edline helper *2017-12-07* I loved the edline helper app. It was efficient, aesthetically satisfactory, and showed all your grades. This is the same app, although it would be nice if I didn't have to pay again for the same app when MCPS made another one of their terrible and illogical tech decisions. I don't know why it shows my classes twice with one of them blank. Could that be fixed? ### 2/5 — dissapointed *2017-11-02* was excited that someone brought back the old version but none of my classes are loading on this ### 5/5 — doesnt load my grades *2017-10-16, version 1.0* ^^ ### 5/5 — Finally the app I've been waiting for *2017-10-12, version 1.0* After like four apps this If finally the format of the old edline helper that everyone loved! ### 4/5 — Why the cost and a bug *2017-10-06, version 1.0* Just like Edline helper but for mymcps, I don’t know why it cost money now....plus it won’t show my last (7th period)class, I hope they fix that bug soon.... ### 5/5 — Great app *2017-10-05, version 1.0* As a student this app makes it much faster and easier to see my grades and what I can do to change them. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Worked well until this school year *2019-12-13* This app was really helpful. All the features worked great. That was last year. Now it won’t even load my grades. Very frustrating since other apps aren’t nearly as good. Please help! Other people had this issue and they got it fixed! ### 1/5 — not working anymore *2019-09-23* why is it broken ### 1/5 — Perfect *2019-04-08, version 1.3* The bad decoration ### 1/5 — My grades aren’t even showing up *2017-11-02* They’re all just blank and I can’t see any grades or put any in, I’d like my money back- I’m mad I wasted money on this app when it doesn’t show any grades or anything. ### 1/5 — Does not work *2017-11-01* This app is a waste of money. I paid .99 and guess what...none of my grades show up! I can’t click on them so I can’t check what grade I will need on my test to keep an A. Do not buy ### 1/5 — TRASH . *2017-10-17, version 1.1* I’m writing a report for my $1 back to Apple. It’s one dollar not a big deal but this is a school app and should be pulled from the App Store, 2/7 of my classes showed up. Crazy stupid - don’t make my mistake this isn’t Edline helper. ### 1/5 — .99 cent RIPOFF *2017-10-16, version 1.0* The grades don’t even show up! SAVE YOUR MONEY!!! ### 1/5 — FIX THIS *2017-10-16, version 1.0* IT DONT SHOW MY GRADES MOE. U SCAMMED US ### 2/5 — My grades aren’t loading *2019-09-15* 😞😞😞 ### 2/5 — Glitchy *2017-12-10* It won’t let me change the point value for assignments, only how many points I earned. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — dude PLEASE make an app for synergy i'm begging u *2021-01-09* please i would literally pay up to a dollar the students of mcps are down bad mentally and emotionally ### 5/5 — got me through high school *2019-06-15* an ingenious app that allows you to see exactly what you need to do to get the grade you want. thank you ari! ### 5/5 — One addition and it would be perfect! *2019-04-03* I always use this app to check my grades and would never use anything else. It always displays accurately and the fact that I can play around to see how I can improve my grade is really helpful. But, one suggestion, I love the Z tab to view what assignments I have missing because I’m absent a lot due to medical problems. Some of my teachers don’t bother putting in Z’s and go straight to 0s for assignments that were just assigned. If there was also a 0 tab to view those assignments it would be really helpful, and I don’t know, maybe this is just me, but I think that it is called for. Thank you! ### 5/5 — Good *2018-12-21, version 1.2* Nice app ### 5/5 — by far the BEST mcps app for students!! *2018-10-15* i’m a sophomore in mcps and after trying every app, i 100% believe this app is the best! although it costs a dollar, it always loads quickly and makes seeing your overall grades and assignment grades easier. it also allows you to plug in grades that aren’t in the grade book to see how your grade would change based on certain assignments. 10/10 recommend!! ### 5/5 — Very good but one thing *2018-02-05* It’s a very good app, works amazingly but there is one problem I found, it shows multiple of the same class making it a little confusing ### 5/5 — Awesome *2017-12-11* Just like the old Edline helper. Worth my dollar. ### 5/5 — so happy *2017-11-07* so happy ### 5/5 — Grades Not Showing Up *2017-11-04* After other apps stopped working for me recently, I have decided to buy this app. However it is not showing up any grades for me. Pls fix Edit: It’s fixed now! ### 5/5 — The Best MCPS Helper *2017-10-24* After downloading three other MCPS helper apps, this was the only one that would load. Every other app takes minutes to load one class but this app loads them all nearly instantly. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
