## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Please fix this app

*2022-10-24, version 1.4*

Can you please update this app. I’m a prek teacher and it would be so much better and easier to use the app to submit my students work. Thank you.

### 1/5 — Does not work

*2022-09-11, version 1.4*

Please fix the app so that teachers can document and add worksamples. I can’t even sign in. Such a great idea for easy documenting, but poorly executed.

### 1/5 — Sad that DECAL can’t do better

*2022-09-06, version 1.4*

Aren’t we celebrating like 25 years of GA Pre-K this year?? There is no excuse for why DECAL hasn’t updated or improved upon this app.

### 1/5 — Doesn’t Work At All

*2022-02-25, version 1.4*

This app could be a blessing for teachers, but right now it is a curse!!!   
Used to be able to login, but now I am no longer able to do so and I am entering the correct username and password. When I try to login I type in my username and nothing goes into the field. The cursor moves but nothing is being written.

There were times last year that I could use it and when I would enter observations and I would use quotations they would get completely messed up when I would look on the website directly.

You cannot change the date when entering an observation, this should be changed so you can.

### 1/5 — Needs more options

*2018-09-24, version 1.3*

This app is seriously lacking in what it is capable of doing. I cannot edit the date or link performance indicators. I was hoping this would be a fast and simple way of documenting. If I have to go to the desktop to edit dates and link indicators, I will just do the entire entry there.

### 1/5 — Terrible

*2018-05-07, version 1.3*

Can’t even log in

### 1/5 — Good idea but terrible

*2018-03-23, version 1.3*

This app is NOTHING like the laptop version.  It doesn't show you your class list.  Therefore you cannot tag any of your students.  I have been asking for an Android version for years.  I am so glad I didn't purchase an iPad for this purpose to make keeping data easier.  THIS A BIG FAILURE AND DISAPPOINTMENT!

### 1/5 — Not satisfied

*2017-10-18, version 1.3*

This app needs a major upgrade and is not user friendly. Also, there should be an android version of the app.

### 1/5 — App doesn't work

*2016-07-13, version 1.3*

This app does NOT work. It doesn't let me even sign in. But I can go on the actual website and sign in just fine. Others I work with can't sign in with the app either. Needs fixed!

### 1/5 — Great concept but it needs a lot of work

*2015-10-17, version 1.1.0*

I'd love to have an option on the login where it saves my username. It would be even better if I could use Lastpass to log in from this app. 

One of the biggest drawbacks is that when I try to enter data, the only date available for me to use is the current date. It won't let me select a previous date. 

I know this one would take so much more work, but it'd be nice to be able to add the indicators. 

Another thing I noticed is that you cannot edit anything you've already submitted. I guess this app was made just for uploading.

### 3/5 — Why can we submit indicators too

*2015-09-11, version 1.0.0*

So far awesome app! Just wondering why selection of indicators is not present?

### 3/5 — Needs some work...

*2015-09-11, version 1.0.0*

When I first downloaded this app, I was excited at the possibilities for entering work samples with more ease. While it is easy to upload a photo or video, there are some bugs that need to be fixed. 
1. When you are selecting students, the DONE button is too close to the class number, which means people are selecting the class number instead of DONE. 
2. While it is great to upload photos, it would be even better if the Developmental Checklist was accessible so get we could code the assessment. Seems kind of pointless to have to go back into the website to select the assessment code after you use the app to upload the photo. 
3. What about access to all (or at least some) of the reports that can be generated from the website? 
4. The text area needs the opportunity to select errors without having to erase all your text to get to the error. It would also be nice to be able to use the copy/paste feature as well. 

Great start but can't wait to see the improvements!

### 3/5 — Great idea and tool...needs more work.

*2015-09-10, version 1.0.0*

This app seems like it will be extremely easy to maneuver, however it has some very important functions to improve. It will not let me select text that I have previously wrote for corrections. I had to delete everything all the way back to the mistake and start over from there. Also it will let you select students but will not accept done and apply the observations to those selected students. Maybe I'm doing something wrong but I've been trying for a better part of the day to get it to do these things. But selection of photos is easy and hassle free. I know it will be my best friend when the bugs get fixed!!!😜
