Update does not work

I lost all of my names and it won't let me save a new list

Over it

This app was great in the beginning and my students love when I put it under the document camera & project it so they can see their names.
Lately it has been crashing and closing every time I use it, not just to select students but when I try to edit or create new lists. Incredibly frustrating that I can't take out names of students who move or add names of new students I get.
Fix the app soon or
I will be deleting and going back to old fashioned popsicle sticks!

Crashing

I've used this app for years and now that I have a different phone, it crashes! It won't let me add a class

Did not work wast of money

There was nothing random about it. It always the same person every time and don't delete this message thank you for reading this and there no reason to buy this app

Needs an Update

This used to be my favorite app, in fact I influenced many teachers on campus to purchase it. However, with the new update it now doesn't generate new students when you select next. It keeps the same name. I've deleted the app and tried installing again but it doesn't work. Until this bug is fixed, this app isn't going to be helpful.
