Needs an update for Dropbox

I can't save anything because Dropbox changed and this app doesn't support it.

This is a great app. The one thing I would like to see added is a way to save records directly to google drive.

Need some improvements

I don't think this app is user friendly. It has great potential with a few changes. Landscape view is a great start.

Excellent app!

I have been using this app for years. I haven't seen any other app that can do the same.

What’s Wrong???

I used to love this app and used it daily for the past few years. I’m ready to enter some data for this school year and the app appears to have major issues. It crashes as soon as I open it and the support links to write to the developers bring me to an error page. I really hope you all fix this because it is such a valuable tool for teachers! Please and thank you
