Any one else having this problem? Help appreciated. ### 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. ### 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! ### 4/5 — Very Useful App *2015-04-27* I have used this app for a couple of years. It is a fantastic way to calculate reading fluency in words per minute and percent. It gives another option besides having a student read for 1 minute and stop. With this app I can allow the student to read the entire passage and then calculate words per minute regardless of whether it took them 30 seconds or 5 minutes to complete the passage. I do think the recent update should include an option for the older, more simplified version. I can see why the coding would be useful but it means there is an extra step in flagging errors and this slows things down quite a bit, especially when calculating fluency for word probes. If the error coding were optional, this app would be 5 stars. ### 4/5 — This is a phenominal app! *2014-06-07* You can flag errors, self corrections, and get an audio recording. You input the number of words at the end and it does all the math...plus, you can go back and re-listen to the readings (seeing where you flagged errors.) ### 2/5 — App Image shows save option. *2014-05-05, version 2.1* Thought I'd be able to save results , but I have to purchase another app. Misleading . ### 5/5 — Happy I Purchased! *2013-12-10* Would purchase again, and recommend for any Special Ed Teacher. Use all the time for Fountas & Pinnell and weekly running records. Does all the work for you then let's you email recording and results. ### 3/5 — Running Record Caclouter *2013-11-04, version 2.1* Great the new update is really good ### 5/5 — Great Resource *2013-05-24, version 1.2.1* This has been so helpful during my guided reading lessons! ### 4/5 — Suggestion! *2013-03-10* Have found this app to be very helpful. Wish it would calculate WPM according how many errors student made, rather than just how may words the student read in general. ### 4/5 — Running record *2012-12-23* Just downloaded this app and love the ability to share but would be nicer if there was a way to store records by names so you could see growth on one screen for one student. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 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. ### 1/5 — Running record *2014-10-31, version 2.5* Don't waste money on this if you are a true reading specialist. Not informative info for instruction. ### 1/5 — Useless *2014-08-20, version 2.4* Waste of $$!!!! ### 1/5 — Give the old screen back! *2013-09-17, version 2.0* Nobody wants changed features when it comes to running records recording! I want the app I purchased. Mid-week of completing assessments...and you change the screen. The new screen is terrible. I will give a higher rating when you give back the app I purchased! I hate the latest update. It is very unclear! ### 1/5 — Update not good *2013-09-14, version 2.0* No longer can you quickly calculate accuracy rate & self-correction ratio due to having to start the recording function. Don't often need to record. Fix this or provide the old version again. ### 1/5 — Help - no longer works!! *2013-09-13, version 2.0* It has worked in the past, but not now. Bad "fix" ### 1/5 — Word count *2013-09-13, version 2.0* Word count and accuracy not showing. Old version was great. ### 1/5 — Don't fall for this app *2013-08-17, version 1.2.1* This app is useless. You have to manually input the number of words, corrections, and self corrections manually. Don't pay 3.99 for this app! Everything is manual except calculating WPM. Of course you have to first tell it how many words you read first. ### 1/5 — Glitchy! *2012-10-20, version 1.2* Nothing like in the middle of testing a kid when your timer/recorder goes glitchy and won't pause and the time starts jumping around. Please fix! This app is unreliable otherwise. ### 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. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 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! ### 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. ### 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. ### 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 ### 5/5 — Use it all the time *2016-08-21* Defiantly worth the money. ### 5/5 — This is great!! *2016-08-16* I have used this app for several years! It is great! Especially if you don't like trying to figure out the formula for Running Records! ### 5/5 — Perfect! *2014-10-24, version 2.5* Excellent tool for calculating running records. Highly recommended! ### 5/5 — Love it! *2014-10-18* I love this app. It allows me to record students weekly reading and email the sound bite to parents or myself! The only downside is that some parents can't access the audio file on their technology. Regardless, my students LOVED listening to themselves!! ### 5/5 — Just a stopwatch *2014-09-15* So disappointed! I thought this would count the words in the recording, for $4.99! Nothing more than a glorified stopwatch --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
