User reviews

Please add a feature

I am a music teacher which means I have many, many classes. I like that I can make many “stick buckets” but need to be able to move a student’s stick from one class to another as they are moved around. When I choose to edit a student’s stick I would love to see a class name button to scroll through and easily change. Right now I would only be able to delete and recreate a student from one class to another which means I would lose all their data.

Used to be good

I’ve been using this in my classroom for 3 years. Just recently, it’s stopped working properly. When I try to restart my class, the app crashes. Huge bummer!

Here’s a suggestion-

I’ve enjoyed using this in my classroom. I wish that I could mark a student “absent” and have them stop popping up for that day.

Cannot Link to Dropbox

The connection to Dropbox cannot be created because the Stick Pick app is frozen for further review and Dropbox will not accept additional users. This makes the app useless for me as Dropbox is the only way to import a class list.

Stick pick

This app helps me pick just way easier without causing drama in my classroom. My kids love it and so do I. I love that you can reset the stick and mark the stick. Without stick pick I don't know what I would do.
