Great idea, too glitchy to tolerate
I’m going to look for another app. I give up. This randomly removes chores I assigned and doubles others. When I go in to delete or add a chore to fix it, I get error messages. Very annoying and discouraging.
Response from developer
The 2.0.5 version is a significant upgrade and is now available. It includes several improvements in both bug fixes as well as improvements to the interface for better usability. If you are still interested in using the app, I invite you to give the new version a try.
Super Glitchy
When creating assignments, the teacher’s app glitched, so I did it again. It glitched a second time, so I changed some things and got it to finally take. The problem is, the student app had all 3 assignments for all the same subjects and dates and times! The worst part about it, the teacher’s app only showed the 1 assignment!! Worst money I ever spent.

Great Family Organizer!
This is great for planning and organizing for any family, not just a homeschool one. I am a homeschool mom and I love this for assigning academics and chores. It even allows for points to earn customizable rewards. I love this app. Thank you so much for making this app for me! Instructions or a tutorial would be nice.

Rip off!!!
This was a rip off. I payed for it. Registered it with a username and password, but could NEVER access it. When I entered my username and password it would say I had entered incorrrect information, but I could still get an email allowing me to reset my password. Didn't matter how many passwords I reset to I could NEVER access the app, and I could NOT get my money back. Total rip off. Be warned!

Thank you.
Potential, but not there yet
I bought this a couple years ago but never actually used it because, to be honest, it's a pain to set up. For example, if I enter an assignment, then realize I set it to the wrong date, I have to go to Calendar -> Month/Day of assignment -> select assignment -> modify. Not a huge deal, unless I got my dates off on an entire series of assignments, or realized I needed to insert a missed assignment. That gets REALLY frustrating because I have to go through the above steps for each assignment. It won't let me just back out a few steps. I also really dislike having to assign a time to assignments--we don't do that with our homeschool and it's frustrating being forced to. I mean, I know I can ignore it, but...I'd rather the app just not force me to do that. It's also kind of ugly. Not a huge deal, but...it's ugly. I'd also really prefer that there were a color-coding system, especially in the calendar on the month view--let me color code students or subjects--having a big jumble of gray dots gets overwhelming for me visually. It also needs a way to batch input things--for instance, let me select a subject, then give me a calendar view and let me just hack away at inputting all the assignments for that subject--having to go through SO MANY steps for each assignment is offputting. It would also be really nice to search or view assignments for each individual student, rather than having to always look at everything. And again, color coding would be really nice visually on the calendar view so that I could mark field trip days and doctor appts and birthdays (we take birthdays off) visually. Lots of room for improvement.
That being said, this is the only app that does *this,* without forcing me to pay a monthly or yearly fee, so I'm putting up with the frustrating parts. I think. I may abandon my efforts and go back to making myself a lesson planning book like I have in years past. But I'm trying to give this a go this year.

Great idea, thank you!
This is just what I needed for my kid to be self-managing and accountable for her own tasks and education. It’s simple to use, with an attractive design. My kid likes it so much that she told the neighbor kids that if only they could be homeschooled, they too could have the app!
I do wish there was some insight into how the thing thinks, as I had some trouble understanding how to enter the tasks, durations, and recurrences.
I found the developer to be fabulously responsive and helpful, which has completely alleviated any initial frustration.
Great app...the autonomy for the kid has vastly reduced the nagging in our house, and we’re all grateful.

Great app!
The pro’s list of this app are endless! I could rave about this forever, it will make our lives so much more streamlined, I homeschool three children at different grade levels.
It provides incentive to keep up with all daily tasks I have assigned, allows her to move from one assignment to the next quickly, the app notifies me (my inbox) when a task has been completed! This is perfect for my older child and keeps her on task!
The con’s list is much shorter, I can not seem to edit an assignment (I have put the wrong date to begin the assignment) after I have assigned it to my child. Is there anyway to fix this? Thank you so much, This app is amazing! ❤️

Awesome design but glitches
I love this and the fact that the children have a corresponding app. I love all the options its a perfect layout. But if I can't trust it to work properly then there's no point. Please fix "end assignment date" option (that wont let me edit to end my assignments) and i couldnt even delete the item off my schedule.

Too glitchy
App freezes when trying to add chores or assignments. Everything must be assigned a time, which is not how we homeschool.
Can't edit
Nice to have the app but when u go to edit an assignment it doesn't let u.
FINALLY!...almost
I'm a home schooling mom. Last year I spent countless hours and quite a few dollars looking for the perfect grade book app...and never found it. They were either geared toward schoolteachers and too complicated, or one was too simple, or they didn't sync across devices, etc. I wound up using an online site (which IS good, but does not have an app nor mobile site so mobile use is tricky), but again this year went searching. There were only a couple new things. Tried one...NOT very intuitive to me. Found this one...geared toward homeschoolers, and was THRILLED. Paid the fee and got started. The pros: it is geared around each student rather than a classroom full of students. It Mostly makes sense how to enter information. Cons: It is very buggy. I have tried entering my kids' swim classes three times, M, T, W, R. It has the option to set up the weekly recurrence, but when I'm done it is only set for every Monday, for example. It really HATES it if you have the app open on another device and keyboard will NOT function properly. They did warn about this in the instructions. When I try to add the subject to a new assignment it ALWAYS grabs the one immediately above it and I have to open the drop down menu again, tap it again, and then it enters the proper subject.
Final verdict: I feel this app has massive potential for homeschool teachers, but the bugs need to be worked out First. I am very hopeful the developers work the kinks out because I really want to use this for our coming year.
Oh, I was disappointed (ok, annoyed) that I could not find a place within the app to report my difficulties.
