It has great potential with a few changes. Landscape view is a great start. ### 3/5 — What’s Wrong??? *2015-10-16* 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 ### 3/5 — Needs fixed *2015-10-09, version 2.5* Love this app, but it seems to be bugging with the new iOS update. Whenever I open it, it just crashes and closes. ### 2/5 — None *2015-10-08, version 2.5* Great app but not longer works now that ios 9 is installed, I try to open and it just closes. Can't find any support online. ### 3/5 — PLEASE!! *2015-09-24, version 2.5* Please update this app!!!! It doesn't even open anymore. I'm so disappointed I can't use it. It's an app I used to use on a daily basis. Also with the update PLEASE make it so that records can be saved and printed. ### 3/5 — Promising app *2015-08-24, version 2.5* I like that the app uses the format I am used to for running records. However, comprehension is an important part of a child's reading level and I could not find a place to record answers to check for understanding. ### 4/5 — App Keeps Freezing *2015-05-28, version 2.5* I love this app BUT… It keeps freezing on me when I try to add photos - specifically when I add photos on more than one page. It also freezes when I add photo after completing the details in the first page, or try export to pdf. I hope this issue gets removed asap because I need this for testing next week. ### 4/5 — Great app but needs a fix *2015-05-06* I started using this app about a month ago. I think all the functions are great, calculating accuracy, WPM, recording the student, etc. I take pictures of the text beforehand so I can check off the text while listening to them read. Also they love listening to themselves reading. This could help with their fluency as well. Right now, I am having trouble emailing the PDF so that I can print it out. The app freezes and then shuts down on me. I really need this resolved because I have to print out the records for my student folders. ### 3/5 — More features please ... *2015-03-11, version 2.5* This is a great app which I will definitely be using in the classroom. It would be great if we're able to enter our own set of text per line instead of just the option of the background image, or import text from another source. Each line of text should have enough space in between to mark the miscues. Other apps I've looked into also has popular levelled reading sets included in the app. ### 3/5 — Love but.. *2014-11-19, version 2.5* I love this app but it will not let me save anything! When I go to save it it will not let me type anything! Help!!!! ### 3/5 — It's OK *2014-01-22* The app is okay. I like the idea of taking and storing running records electronically, but this app needs an easier way to make the check marks which indicate accurate reading. As it is now, the form ends up too messy. I would use this app daily if there was some sort of check mark stamp, perhaps one that marked a checkmark if the screen is tapped, and then writing is activate if you hold down. ### 4/5 — Great tool but... *2013-10-11, version 2.2.1* I am a 4th grade teacher and I love the app however as of recently the app will not let me save the records. Back to paper and pencil I guess :( ### 4/5 — Great App *2013-08-13, version 2.2.1* This is an amazing app! It's great that you can make comments. I would mostly use this to record students comprehension answers. The only problem is if you go over three lines it does not show up on the PDF. But an amazing app worth downloading. ### 4/5 — Running record *2013-03-16, version 2.1* I am keen to try this app it looks great. The only problem I have is the accuracy rate for 94%should be instructional not independent. If you could fix this it would be great! ### 4/5 — This is great *2013-02-07* The thing I would like to change with this app is to type in the errors the student is making instead of drawing them in. I like to write what the student say and what the word actually is for future reference ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Won't open *2015-10-07, version 2.5* I downloaded the app, tried to open it and it crashes immediately. All other apps on my phone work great. Unfortunate because I was really looking forward to using it and recommending it to other teachers...if there is a fix for it that would be great! ### 1/5 — Doesn't work with ios9! *2015-09-21, version 2.5* I've heard this app is amazing, but I cannot experience it for myself because it has not been updated to work with ios9! Please fix so I can start utilizing this in my classroom :) ### 1/5 — Crashes *2015-09-21, version 2.5* Needs to be updated in order to run with iOS9! App keeps crashing cannot get it to stay open long enough to enter any kind of data! ### 1/5 — Running record *2013-12-28, version 2.3* This app has a lot of potential however there are bugs which need to be fixed. I am unable to save records as every time I click on save it exits out of the app. I hope these issues get sorted because I can see huge benefits in using this tool. ### 1/5 — Too many crashes *2012-10-30, version 1.0.2* This could be a great app, but I will be almost done with a running record and it will crash and I will loose all of my student's data. I hope that this is fixed because it has potential to be a great app! ### 1/5 — Record of reading *2012-10-25, version 1.0.2* I tried to use it but it closes down every time when I try to add RW. Should be good but wiped my record which is unreplacable. Please fix. ### 1/5 — disappointing *2012-09-29, version 1.0.2* great concept but it keeps freezing so I am unable to complete a running record or record the errors on records over 1 or 2 pages long. I was hoping to share this with other teachers but won't until this bug is fixed. ### 1/5 — Promising *2012-09-18, version 1.0.2* I've been waiting for someone to create this app! As a reading specialist I take at least 10 running record a day. BUT it's true - the app crashes every time you try to save a document. Please fix this!!! ### 1/5 — Crashes *2012-08-29, version 1.0.2* The app crashes when you try and save the RR. Then it comes up with a blank sheet and you previous RR is deleted. ### 2/5 — Needs an update for Dropbox *2017-09-18* I can't save anything because Dropbox changed and this app doesn't support it. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Excellent app! *2015-11-15* I have been using this app for years. I haven't seen any other app that can do the same. ### 5/5 — Please Update! *2015-09-18, version 2.5* Please update! I have been recommending this app to all the teachers I know. Please update this app! ### 5/5 — Awesome *2015-01-28* I'm soooo glad I found this app. I just wish I didn't get a black screen when trying to add a page. ### 5/5 — YAY! *2014-10-14* I love this app - so many wonderful features: recorded record for playback, built-in calculator, saving to dropbox, organizing within folders... Only suggeston would be to add a feature where records can be retrieved from dropbox and exported to a pdf for printing. ### 5/5 — Great app! *2014-05-09, version 2.5* Love this app! Functional and flawless! ### 5/5 — Love it! *2014-01-29, version 2.3* This is a great app! I love it! Easy to use and great sound! ### 5/5 — Love this!!! *2013-11-07, version 2.3* Great way to take, calculate, keep, and share running records. No more paper! Thank you! ### 5/5 — I love this app!! *2013-03-20* One of my family friends is one of the creators of this app and recommended it to me and I give it a double thumbs up. It defiantly motivates me to read more! Thanks! Love the app! ### 5/5 — Delete files *2013-01-29* Please update to allow files to be deleted. Otherwise, fantastic app! ### 4/5 — Please update for iOS9! *2015-09-25, version 2.5* I love this app, but ever since the update, it will not open. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling it, but it still doesn't work. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
