BEST Teacher App
I have been using this app for many years, and I love it!! At the start of each school year, I enter all my classes and students and take student pics. I select “random order” and cover the top of the picture where student names are to quiz myself on their names. This helps me learn names quickly. I can also click “random order” and swipe through my students to randomly call on them during class discussions, games, and activities. Additionally, I use the grouping feature to put students into groups for stations, etc. I like that I can hold down the 3 lines and move students around between groups as needed. Then I can email myself a copy of the groups. I highly recommend this app to all my teacher friends!
Suggestions:
1) Please make it easier to enter class lists. I spend a lot of time at the start of each school year typing in first and last names…I teach high school Spanish and teach 150-180 students each year.
2) I need an option to edit student info. After I’ve entered student names from my roster, sometimes I need to change their name to a preferred nickname. There is no option to edit. So I have to delete the student and re-enter their name. If I’ve already taken their picture, I have to retake their picture after deleting and re-adding.
Thank you!!

Can only use Dropbox to import student lists
This app could be so much better if it would allow uploading of spreadsheets as files, or if it could be connected to Google Drive. Manually entering 130+ new students everyschool year is tedious and makes me not want to use it. Otherwise it could be a very good app.
Very simple to use.
I use the app the make random groups and to randomly choose a student. You have to shake your phone in order for it to pick a student. Very simple to use.
Shake?!
To pick a random student you must SHAKE your device. This is the only way! Might be ok with an iPhone, but not great for iPad users!!
Doesn’t “pik” anyone!
Unfortunately, the latest version apparently eliminated the essential function...you can no longer pick a random student! All you can do is put students into random groups or mark students absent or tardy. Definitely not worth the time to enter all those names!
