### 1/5 — Grade Pro 👎👎👎

*2024-10-15*

For all of you frustrated that The Source is now forcing you to use the Grade Pro app, there is actually a way to continue using this app without Grade Pro. Just go into airplane mode and tap on the app, you should be able to turn airplane mode off too after opening the app. After a while the Grade Pro screen will pop up again but just go into airplane mode again. If your grades aren’t updating because you are in airplane mode, just open the app without airplane mode & then close it & open it with airplane mode turned on again.

### 1/5 — Please bring the source back

*2024-10-13*

This was such a wonderful and great app to use I love it and it was so easy to use it was less stressful for me to use and it just felt nice it was way better then GradePro. GradePro is such a horrible app to use I don’t get it how you would switch such a wonderful app for such a horrible app to use I don’t understand how to use GradePro is so much harder for me to use then the source and GradePro is so complicated to use for no reason and it’s not as hopeful as the source

### 1/5 — Nothingburger

*2024-10-12*

Beyond the usual complaints about GradePro, which I do agree with, I'd like to make clear that there is no further use for this app. As of the latest update, it no longer lets you access any of the old functionality, and earlier updates seem to have been fundamentally broken. The app now serves no function whatsoever except to tell you to install something else, which is, at least, good advice.

### 1/5 — Please bring back the source

*2024-10-10*

I am beyond disappointed that SPS has gotten rid of the source app and decided to go to gradepro. Not only is gradepro horrendously ugly, it looks like a scam app with temu and all, and everything is stuck behind a paywall so I can’t even do the same things that I could on the source app. Please let students use this app again, I think the new one is widely hated and I’m uninstalling it because oh my god it is not worth it.

### 1/5 — I expected better from you.

*2024-10-10*

This app. Was GREAT. I lived by it. I used it 24/7. It became a crucial necessity. It’s clean flawless look made me feel less stressed than on the website. It was easy access, efficient, and best of all. Wasn’t trying to steal money from students. And look. I get it. You need money to run an app. But come on. COME. ON. I don’t know what you thought you were doing when you switched to GRADES pro. That app. Is from my nightmares. A monsters under my bed? No. Grade pro is. It is so dated and horrendous looking. It is just trying to get you to spend money to access “SPECIAL FEATURES” when really these so called special features are features any basic grade app should have. You shouldn’t have to PAY to see your weighted GPA. This app. Will not be used. It will not be used by me. Or by anyone I even KNOW. This was a bad idea on the apps part. Don’t do this to the students. I expected better from an app that I loved. Will be deleting forever. If it goes back to normal, I will be MORE than happy to give it a 5 star review. But with this update. That will never happen. Bad choice.

### 5/5 — Extremely Fanum Tax

*2024-09-26*

The skibidi on the Kai Cenat meter on this app is so rizz. You can duke dennis your grades with the fanum tax. It has alpha male colors that make James Charles edge. It has young sheldon that makes Gay Wario jelque to Ice Spice. This is so sigma l wish Freakbob were here to accept my mouse pay ☹️ It's like, Just put the fries in the
bag lil bro. Tap on this app, and you will get free robux and LGBT (Luigi's Giant Bulging Tushy) 4 life ✅

### 5/5 — So useful

*2024-08-09*

I love not having to go to the website or anything, and the GPA calculator and grade calculator are really nice! I did run into an issue where I couldn’t refresh my grades for a couple months, but it’s resolved. Thank you!

### 5/5 — Good app

*2024-07-07*

Been pretty solid through my experience with the app. Very few bugs and a multitude of beneficial features including one of my favs, the GPA calculator. Would 💯recommend!

### 5/5 — Use this app

*2024-06-21*

As a student I love this app it tells me everything I need to know about my grade the only very little issue is that sometimes it won't get up to date with my real grades and my parents get mad even though my old grade isn't my grade anymore 😅anyways it's a great app otherwise and I recommend you download it

### 5/5 — Extremely Helpful

*2024-06-21*

Ever since they removed the pay wall for some features, this app has been amazing. You can now add as many classes as you have and there are many awesome tools I use everyday. The grade calculator and notifications for updated grades are super helpful! I can easily check what grade I need to get on an assignment to keep the grade I want. I definely recommend this app.
