Major Improvements Needed
Scam- I was told by the website tied to the app that I needed to purchase the premium plan to utilize the syllabus scanning feature. It was advertised as a 30-day free trial, however, the next morning after purchasing the $3/month plan, with the intent on utilizing the 30-day free trial, I look at my bank account, and the $3 has been withdrawn from my account. I have SCOURED the website tied to app and am unable to cancel my subscription. I am very displeased with the app interface, including the website that’s tied to the app. I am also a full-time college student, living paycheck-to-paycheck, so the fact that it immediately withdrew the money makes me furious, considering I need every cent to survive.

It’s better than nothing
It’s helpful seeing all my due dates listed out and but some things are a little annoying. Like how you have to go onto a computer to upload your syllabus or put it all in by hand and ive faced the a problem with one of my classes where it won’t let me upload a syllabus.
Payment
This would’ve have been a good app if I didn’t have to pay for premium subscription just to upload my syllabus document. I have a free trial but I don’t know what for. It’s great app but $30 a month as a college student is a no for me.
no longer works?
this used to be my favorite app to keep track of assignments but within the last month, it has completely stopped working for me. it won’t even open. I’ve tried to contact support but have not gotten any answer. I think the app has been abandoned which is a real shame, I liked it a lot.
Classes issues
I used it last year and it’s been amazing! Helped remind me of my assessments! However this year i cam back to use it only to see that it didn’t let me add classes, reloads the classes that i add and start all over again and gives me an error massage of “faild to drop class” even tho I wasn’t joined in yet.
They last updated it a year ago so I hope the developers can help fix this issue asap

Ehhh
I wish I could give an honest review but I haven’t been able to experience the app because I wasn’t able to drag and drop my syllabus on the desktop site. I wish the app was fully mobile it would be better
Lifesaver for college
I've been using skoller for about 3 semesters now, and it's been a complete lifesaver for keeping me organized and constantly updating my grade in each class. The recent update also helped simplify the layout and added a few helpful features. This is honesty the most useful app on my phone!!
A few minor areas for improvement that would be greatly appreciated:
-Give the ability to make assignments within a single weight category based on a point system rather than all carrying an equal percentage. For example, my homeworks are based on total points, so if one assignment is a 40/50 and the other is a 5/10, my actual grade for both assignments is a 45/60, or 75%. However, skoller grades these assignments as holding equal weight, so it counts as the average of 80% and 50%, which is 65%. This ends up somewhat misleading my grades for certain categories.
-The reminder notifications, while humourous, would be more useful if they announced which classes the upcoming assignments were in.
-Add a time option in for when a assignment is due, not just the date.
-Add some more color options for classes!
Besides the first suggestion, I'm really nitpicking at little areas of improvement for this app. It's come a long way since I first downloaded it and I would be much worse off without it!

Great idea for an app but needs improvement
The app is great and is a life saver idea for college students, but it stills needs a few updates. The app looks a few years old in terms of the User Interface and how everything looks, a fresh coat of paint and some UI updates should fix it. I tried putting one of my syllabi in the system and it said i need to do it instead, even though I got the app for the sole purpose that I did not want to do that. Also for the syllabi that do get competed and put only have the major assignments dated and not the readings which is a MAJOR part of basically every class and a part that needs to be implemented into this app. Overall I love the idea for the app and hope these comments help!

Fantastic. It seems that accuracy on the syllabus extraction process is huge. We continue to work on scalable solutions to nail this! Thank you for your feedback
Very Useful
I’ve used this app for a whole semester now. I really like that all you have to do is submit your syllabus, and your assignments will be loaded into the app for you. I also really like that you can speculate your grade, which is really helpful near finals.
The only thing I miss with the updates is that I don’t see how much of the class grade is completed.

Thanks so much for suggesting this! We look to add class completion back into Insights. This feature will allow students to view their semester and workload in a number of helpful ways. Please feel free to contact us at support@skoller.co with further suggestions!
Had high hopes
It was great and I’m glad something like this exists BUT they got all the due dates wrong for one of my courses after I uploaded the syllabus so I had to manually go in and change them all. It would be nice to actually be able to rely on the app to be accurate. And I don’t even understand where the confusion came in for whoever was filling in the dates, the syllabus was VERY straightforward.

Skoller good but some updates desired
Skoller so far seems like a great tool to organize myself and my studies. The only issue I have so far is not being able to add alternative meeting times and TAs. I don’t want to add an entirely new class to set up meeting times with my discussion section. Also my online class has a Skype-like discussion once a week but I’m unable to schedule that either

Thanks so much for the feedback! We will add this to our pipeline of updates and see how we can better fit this need! Have a great semester 😃📚
Great App but Frustrating
The app itself is amazing and is great for organization and figuring out grades BUT only works well if you put in assignments and exams yourself. When relying on the skoller team to upload assignments they miss SO MUCH and don’t even put dates into the assignments and exams they don’t miss. I was very disappointed about that. Otherwise great for organizing and highly recommend!

Skoller Review
I really love this app so far! I have been using it for about three weeks now and it has helped me so much in reminding me of assignment as well as tracking my grades. This is SO incredibly helpful as a college senior. I would highly recommend skoller to ANY student with a syllabus. Whether you’re in middle, high school, college or beyond, this app is for you! I will continue to use it regularly!

Great with minor improvements
The overall app is great. A couple bugs plugging in my scheduling and syllabi but other than that I’ve had no problems. Please provide an iPad compatible app in the future. Looking at the iPhone version on the bigger screen just doesn’t feel as clean. Otherwise keep doing what you’re doing!
Response from developer
Thanks so much for the feedback! We love to hear how we can make your experience better! Hopefully an iPad version with come one day soon! Thanks again for using Skoller! (:
GRADE SPECULATING QUEEN
Okay guys this app is amazing. I am generally pretty organized with my assignments but Skoller took me to the next level! Now I never forget assignments, all of them are organized with cute colors and I can speculate my grades for when I don’t want to study all night 😬 also the forecast took really keeps me stress free bc I can see exactly how many assignments I have due each week! Download this app now if you’re a student!!!

A savior from college to the real world
This app organizes, simplifies your life in college. Then helps you get a job in the real world. Ignorant not to download this app.
I think this app is on the right track
I have been using this app for about a week, and so far I’ve noticed one thing that would be much more helpful - at my school, some professors don’t put all of the homework on the syllabus and assign as we go along in the course. I feel like there’s something that could make it easier for students in this situation, rather than assuming that all the assignments are posted on the syllabus at the beginning of the course. I can add assignments, but it changed the weight of the assignments and I haven’t even added all of the assignments for the semester yet since I don’t know what they are or when they’re due. That’s just my suggestion! So far I think that they definitely have the right idea! I will continue to use Skoller!

Thanks so much for reaching out and giving suggestions! You can submit a change request by clicking on the info button inside the class you need to change, click on edit in class info and change anything you need to about the course! We can then go in and edit your weights to fix your needs! We're so glad you're using Skoller!
Can’t Even Sign Up
Are you telling me that someone stole all three of my email accounts and signed them up without my knowledge? I have never downloaded or used this app before, but I a friend recommended it to me so I thought I’d try it. I was super excited because I wanted to be more organized for my full school schedule. I tried signing up and it told me that my email or phone number was already a part of an account. For I tried to log in with my phone number but it said I wasn’t signed up. I assumed my email was the problem, though I’m not sure why because IVE NEVER SIGNED UP BEFORE. So I tried another email. That one didn’t work either. So I tried ANOTHER email, and that didn’t work either. At this point I was so dissatisfied that I just uninstalled. I’m not sure if I’m the only one experiencing this but it’s a huge let down that I can’t even try the app. Please fix this!

A must have for college!!
My biggest struggle in school since 9th grade has been getting my due dates organized! This honestly has helped me so much and reminded me on multiple occasions of assignments that slipped by me! Another great feature is how it shows the weight of each assignment so I can figure out what’s a priority!

Doesn’t work
Idk why but I get to the sign up/in page and the “Get started” message pops up. You can’t dismiss it, and as soon as I press it, it says “Something went wrong” and doesn’t work. I’ve deleted and reinstalled the app twice but it still doesn’t work. Seems like I good idea for an app so I hope this gets fixed eventually.
