## Most critical reviews (7 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Crashes

*2019-07-03, version 2.1*

The app crashes once I enter details for calculation.

### 4/5 — Like it, please add timer for words per minute

*2010-04-18*

This app almost does everything that the very expensive Fountas and Pinnell calculator by Heineman does. The one piece of information it doesn't have is a fluency calculation as words per minute.  To do this it would require a timer with start and end reading times. If the developer does decide to add a wpm feature, please fix a problem with Heineman's special purpose calculator. On their calculator the teacher must enter the error count quickly. Otherwise, it times out and shuts off.  It sometimes times out before I've had a chance to count all the errors in a long, complicated running record. Of course, those are the students for whom I need the best data.  Add a words per minute fluency calculation and this app would be absolutely perfect.

### 5/5 — Please update to new IOS

*2017-10-08*

This app is my life saver!!! I use this daily and cannot work without it. The amount of time it saves is incredible. Please update!

### 5/5 — Run Chicken Run

*2013-11-28*

I downloaded this App three years ago and use it every day. An excellent tool to score my Running Records for Literacy Assessment. A must have for any Primary Literacy teacher! Bravo!

### 5/5 — Running records

*2013-05-17, version 0*

Great app very easy to use and worth every cent!

### 5/5 — Running records

*2011-05-19, version 0*

This is fantastic! So accurate and so quick. No more using the calculator and referring to a table, once you type in the number of words, errors and self corrections it is calculated in a flash. I use it all the time as a year 2 teacher Melbourne, Australia

### 5/5 — Rubbings Recs

*2010-12-22*

Fantastic app. Work perfectly. Every teacher doing running records should have this app. It make life much easier.
