Being forced to subscribe

I loved this app and have used it for four years. Opened it to take attendance in my first class today to be told that I was not able to unless I subscribed. Very disappointing and now I have to search for a new app because $6.99 a month as a teacher for an attendance app is completely unreasonable.

The app starts with some demo students to make it easy to experiment with initially. You can remove those students when making your own classes. There are many video tutorials as the app has many features that may take some time to learn and I welcome any emails if you need support.

One problem

I haven’t bought it yet. I ran into problems with my favorite program: teacher kit and I’m looking for something that can do the same. My biggest hurdle is I serve 24 classes in elementary schools and that might grow in the coming years. This means I would needs to pay for two of your programs. Might is already tight, but still this type of program helps me a lot.

The app supports up to 6 semesters/terms with 20 classes each. So you could spread you 24 classes over 2 separate terms. Please email support@inpocketsolutions.com for more detailed assistance.

Suggestion

Hi Just a suggestion but can you please make a way to add more attendance codes? I really need them. Thank you!

Two devices not working

How do I connect my phone and my iPad to the same gradebook

With this current version the data is stored locally on a device. So there is not automatic synching between devices. However I am currently working on a completely new version that will use a cloud database and allow multiple devices to access the same data automatically. With this current version you can sync data manually to the cloud on one device and then sync from the cloud to another device. This is done manually on the Backup/Restore screen.

Most excellent

I picked up TAP a few months ago as a solution to solve my district’s unrealistic and unreasonable demands to be in constant contact with parents and guardians about their student’s performance. Unfortunately, I’m an English teacher in high school, which means my students - pandemic related - are functionally 7.5th graders. If I spend 1 minute per student on the two assignments per week I’m supposed to produce and give feedback on, then I literally have negative time to spend. The math simply doesn’t work, so - like so many teachers - I’ve been dipping into my weekends since forever. BUT NO MORE!

TAP is a one stop shop for all of it. Take attendance in seconds with the click of a button, develop seating charts through a simple and intuitive drag and drop interface, leave substitute attendance sheets and charts with a click and print tool, and - the tool that makes this monthly subscription REALLY worth its salt - the grade tracking and auto-message feature. You can designate a variety of grade categories and common performance indicators and their percentages (so EXCELLENT = 100%, ABOVE AVERAGE = 80%, and so on) across a variety of assignments, and then, WITH THE CLICK OF A BUTTON, email the whole - including any individual or class notes you took on the student - email it to parents on whatever interval you want. This has been a LIFE SAVER for me. I now enjoy my weekends with my wife and kids instead of sending a bunch of stupid emails that parents don’t read anyway. The graphic at the head of each report clearly depicts student performance at a glance, and THAT’S what parents respond to.

To really squeeze the most out of this app - especially if you’re teaching English in middle or high school - consider subscribing also to Rubric Scorer 2. The import feature from that app ports grades and rubric descriptions into the assignments folder when you trigger the “Export to TAP” option from RS2. This cuts down on the hours and hours per week I used to spend painstakingly penciling the same comments over and over and over again on student work.

Now, flip the script. Give students a visual breakdown of their quality performance, add a series of custom comments for rapid response, and collect the scores in TAP - by the way, RS2 also lets you send PDFs of the completed rubrics to parents and students, so you don’t have to worry about the transfer process. Ultimately, it all gets stored in your email server, so there’s no serious gap in the paper trail. After an initial setup in both apps, the time these two have saved me is in the dozens of hours since February ‘22.

I’ve experimented with loads of these apps. The best, closest competitor is iDoceo - and that’s because they have an in-house submission tool, so you can get out from under whatever your district’s LMS is, if it’s burdensome and stupid (like Canvas!). But ultimately that app is just TOO COMPLEX. It can do just about anything that you’d ever want it to do as a teacher, but the setup process is too convoluted to be effective. TAP + RS2 is FAST, EASY, and SUPPORTS THE DEEP WORK OF TEACHING by cutting - literally in half - the amount of clerical nonsense teachers are expected to do by streamlining those processes.

Thanks so much for such a detailed review. Please reach out by email or the feedback from if you have any specific feedback or suggestions you would like to send directly.

Almost perfect :)

I've really enjoyed using this app so far, but I have a few suggestions to make it even better. For one, I think there should be a togglable dark mode setting. Also, maybe for attendance colors and grade color-coding we should be allowed to pick any point on one of those color wheel thingies, not just one of 10 or 15 options.

Thanks Katie. I love to hear how users find the app working for them.

Idea is there

This was super well thought out for a high school teacher. However, in elementary or homeschooling it would be ideal to be able to edit the class list names.

You can edit the class names on the manage classes and students screen. Tap the 3 dot icon to the right of the class name on the top right. Email me at support@inpocketsolutions.com for any further help.

Solves SO Many Problems!!

It’s like the developers of this app covertly observed my classroom for the last 10 years and created a tool to solve all my problems. Want to assign a grade to a group then have that grade populate out to each individual student (and have the grades copy over to Google Classroom)? Done! Want to be able to customize attendance for hybrid learning? Done! Need a place to record comments for random stuff that happens with students on a given day? Done! Need to have two different seating charts? Done! It’s all in here. $2 a month? Take. My. Money.

Thanks so much for your kind review. I wish I could all the credit but it is really the many teachers that use my app and send feedback which has resulted in many of the useful features. Being a teacher definitely helped me design an app based on a teacher's experience instead of an outsider trying to figure out what teachers need. Enjoy!

Another user notified me of this bug and I just released an update that has fixed the issue recently. Please check the App Store for the update and see if it solves the issue for you. Please consider contacting me though the app feedback option or email directly at support@inpocketsolutions.com I’m always happy to look into any issue and fix it ASAP.

Works great. But after I upgraded it’s crashing

This was a wonderful app. It’s been very useful for keeping track of scores and assignments on my iPad-especially as a combo teacher during the ‘remote Learning’ age. I love the display, and the ability to tailor each assignment and class. However, after I upgraded to the premium account, (paying $2 a month) it began glitching. I specifically wanted the Google Classroom sync function so that I could transfer grades between the two. It worked great for two days. Since then it crashes and quits when I try to import or export scores with google classroom. I’ve reloaded, restarted, and upgraded my iPad software. This is the reason I chose to upgrade and pay the monthly fee. So I’m hoping the developers will fix this bug soon as the app is otherwise very very helpful.

Singularly spectacular

I have never written a review on the AppStore, but this one deserves all the praise I can muster. It is an indispensable app and accomplishes what only others claim to do; I know. I’ve tried them all. I am a college professor with over 25 years of experience and this is the best assessment tool I have ever owned. When Easy Grade Pro was bought out years ago, I gave up hope of finding anything so powerful as TeacherAide Pro. Its attendance features, ability to import photos, the seamless integrating with the developers other apps—plus the developer has nearly weekly updates. I pay the subscription from my own money—it’s that good. If the developer quits, I’m retiring!

Thanks for your comments. I remember Easy Grade Pro well, and when smart phones came out I was really disappointed that EGP did not release anything. Eventually I decided to learn how to make a basic app, and now 10 years later Teacher Aide Pro continues to evolve. I'll try not to quit anytime soon. :)

Best Teacher App

This is the best teacher app that I use daily in my class. Love that I can print or email reports to parents to keep them informed of student progress. And whenever I have had a problem, customer support has always responded quickly.

Thanks so much for your feedback. I always appreciate users contacting me for help or to report any issues.

Best yet!

TAP is the third grading app I’ve used and it definitely works much more smoothly for me. I’ve had very limited issues (VERY LIMITED) and the developer always gets back to me very quickly, and with a concise explanation or answer. I’ll continue to use TAP and continue to recommend it.

OK, whatever!

Awesome app!

I’ve been looking for years for an attendance/grade book app. I couldn’t be happier with this one.

Love it

I really like this app I just wish there was another app for the students to view their grade on their devices

Thanks for your feedback. The app data is stored on the user device (not in a server that others can access), so a student app is not possible. I'm a solo developer and focus mainly on the teacher apps. Doing a full Student Information System is unfortunately beyond my means.

Why not add the Arabic language to the application like that in Andoride

This is something I'd like to do, but supporting other languages takes a lot of time initially and with updates. I'm been really busy working on updates to my other apps as well, but hopefully towards the end of the year I will try to add more languages. Thanks.

Great App for Teachers!!

This app is very helpful and innovative! Though the best thing about this app is how helpful and personable the developer is. Not only did he reply to my multiple emails right away, but he was able to fix any problems on his end as well as help to explain how to solve the issues I was having. Any problems he encountered on his end after I emailed him an issue I was having, he made the necessary corrections on the next app update. Thank you Glen! Keep up the good work! Definitely worth the subscription!
