Awesome!

The latest update really fixed some annoying glitches that I had been experiencing. Very quick response to a request that I made. Great app!!!

Amazing help from Paul.

This app is opening the way to use rubrics for assessments

Only real game in town

Not many programs I’ve found that allow rubrics for grading. I’ve been using this program for several years. One of the most frustrating thing about this program is that it will suddenly just flip the screen so everything is upside down. Only solution is to flip my iPad around or close out of the program and then come back in. Also, does occasionally just kicks you out of the program.

Response from developer

Thanks for taking the time to review. Please check out the latest update we've spent some time optimizing the apps performance. You should see improved response times particularly after running large reports and returning to grading.

Pretty neat except

This app is great. However it does have glitches I hope they fix. The app closes unexpectedly at times. Also, at times my rubrics are missing a line I entered. If they fix this I highly recommend it

Response from developer

thanks for the feedback. It would be great if you could email us from within the app and let us know the device and iOS version you are using so we can investigate further. thanks

Adventure course

I'm a CCM at an adventure center in the US. We have look around for what this app can offer in relation to recording and archiving or staff skills. Without this app we would have to create time consuming excel spreadsheets to do the job. We recommend this app to anyone who is having issues with staff record keeping.

Very comprehensive

I am sure to use this app to keep track of all my student assessments. Easy to use, I love the import feature.

Highly customizable!

Wow! This is the best app for creating rubrics on iOS. I don't use the traditional rubric. Instead, I use the Marzano proficiency scales. This makes it difficult to find a rubric app that gives me enough control over the settings to setup the rubric to fit my needs. This app is perfect in that sense. It also runs fantastic reports. The only drawback is that the interface is not the most intuitive. Navigating between menus and screens is a bit awkward. I decided to overlook this and give five stars because the app is better than any other rubric iOS app on the market.

Great for teachers

This app is great for teachers and TA's, easily tracks progress through a rubric form. Highly recommend as opposed to paper rubrics

Great aid for anyone tracking progress

This app is obviously a good tool for teachers, but it's handy for anyone who wants to track and grade progress, such as fitness trainers. I love the downloadable templates. My only complaint is the UI is more complicated than it needs to be and is a bit dull. Some work on the design would make this app shine!

Great concept but....

After you have good idea you have to check the flaws and update often.

This app was designed to be convenient but it isn't trying to use Dropbox to upload students you can't it will crash. Want to conveniently have your students picture as you upload you can't. All these long processes to do but no success. we have paid the money because we thought this we ease our teaching task but it adds to the sorrow of grading? Because you have to do it all over if you crashes suddenly or you have to figure what was or wasn't saved during the crash. It doesn't make sense to have a great idea put in the app store and think it was a great idea before you tested yourself. It's like going to your classroom before preparing a lesson. There are going to be issues that come up that you weren't expecting. Fix this app please

Great idea, needs some improvement

I love rubrics. I was really excited about using this software, until it ate most of one of the larger rubrics I need to make when I was half-finished with it.

Saving is faulty. Editing a rubric once it's made is faulty (because saving is faulty) and while you can email the rubric (as a back-up, in case of faulty saving) to use that function you need to leave the rubric, which again makes you vulnerable to faulty saving...

Unless you can sit down and do the whole thing in one uninterrupted stretch, this may not be the most helpful tool for creating and editing rubrics.

An existing rubric can not be imported to then just use it for live marking during class (and effectively bypass the faulty saving), and there is no way to contact the developer from the app for problems, suggestions, or kudos.

Importing students is easy, but super basic ( no multiple-field entries, and you can't import photos with names).

Right now I'm pretty disappointed--and annoyed at the lost time and lost work. Unfortunately, there don't really seem to be any better alternatives at the moment.

Not worth it

Crashes constantly. Requires purchasing a separate program to import rubrics or send them through email. Airport printer is required to print anything. Way too many restrictions for an app that's not free.

Great app!

The app works great. The only thing that could make this a 5-star app is the ability to export reports in excel format either as a file savable to my device, or export ability to Dropbox or Google drive.

Revised rating

Future update to include changing the values in assessment columns. Cant wait to try - it may illicit a 5 star rating.

Could use more choices for icons

I'm not too pleased with the faces icons and we are starting a grading system that will be eliminating all numbers to describe progress. I would like to be able to have more choices for icons. If there is a way to eliminate all icons and just use letters to describe or abbreviate the mastery levels,l that would help too.

Fantastic tool

This is a fantastic teaching tool. Highly recommend it. Makes report and assessing time easy. Easy to use. It just keeps getting better and better. A must for any teacher.

Looks like a good app

I have just started working with this app and really enjoy it. I am glad hits are around to help me figure out parts of the app that I was not familiar with. I do wish some of the in-app purchases weren't quite so expensive.

Lots of detail

Just started playing around with it. The "Hint" part is very nice to help get things going and get everything linked together. I think without that I would have had trouble figuring out the app.

Impressed

I have just started using this app but so far I am very excited about it. I like that you input your criteria and apply it for each class and student. I plan to buy more copies for my school.

Don't buy it.

It's a waste of money, especially because you have to pay for so many upgrades to actually make the app worth using.
