## What is Running Record Assistant?

Running Record Assistant is the number one choice for calculating Running Record scores. The app combines all the standard running record calculator and stopwatch functions with the convenience of audio recording playback. Flagging lets you score as you go and quickly refer back to audio of difficult sections after the session.  After entering the word count, you will be able to see students’ reading rate, percentage of accuracy, and self-correction ratio. Running Record Assistant is designed to be used by any teacher who assesses students using running records.

Here is how easy it is to use:
 1. Tap the screen to start the stopwatch when the student begins reading.
 2. Tap the "Flag Error" button to mark errors made by the student. (Optional)
 3. Tap the "Self Corrected" button if the student corrects their error. (Optional)
 3. Press "Done" when the reading is complete.
 2. Enter the number of words read. 

Immediately you will see the student's scores for words per minute, self-correct ratio, and accuracy percentage.  You can update the number of errors and self-corrections by pressing the "Err" and "SC" buttons and entering the new numbers.

### 4/5 — Help!

*2022-03-29*

All of a sudden I am not able to email myself the recording. Any one else having this problem?  Help appreciated.

### 5/5 — Suggestions

*2020-07-28*

Is there a way you can add the ability to attach a photo scan of the cover of the book and the page the student is reading? That would be super helpful!

### 3/5 — Running Record

*2020-02-07*

I enjoy the record and calculation that’s done for you but I would like to be able to email this record to myself. There is no email button or option for this on this app.  Could you please tell me how to email my record?  This was the reason in purchasing this app. TY.

### 1/5 — Broken for VPP installs

*2019-05-24*

This app does not work when installed via VPP. Only works when installed via App Store. We are a school. We install EVERYTHING via VPP! There is no indication in the description of the app that it is not supported for VPP. Tried to contact developer numerous times but received no response.

### 5/5 — Very impressed

*2019-04-24, version 3.3*

This has made running records very efficient...an excellent app that is easy to use and very effective.

### 2/5 — Not what I expected

*2018-10-09*

I thought this app would tell me what level the child was on in reading. Not just count the errors and accuracy. Not what I thought, wasted my money.

### 5/5 — Time saver

*2017-08-11*

I take running records much more quickly and efficiently with this app. Can get to many more kiddos a day.

### 4/5 — Just a suggestion

*2016-12-12*

Love this app, use it all the time. Just wish that there was either an undo button for when you accidentally hit the reset button or there was a history button so you can go back and look at what was just done. Thanks!

### 5/5 — Could be better

*2016-10-25*

Easy to use but can't receive the e-mailed info. after several attempts. It would be better if the info. could also be saved within the app. and accessed online in case the e-mails don't go through.

### 5/5 — Great, handy app

*2016-09-17*

Works great and very little effort on your behalf
