Schedule The app uses optical character recognition (OCR) to read the 3-letter codes on your notebook's schedule, importing it into your smartphone. Planner The app reads the 3-letter codes on your notebook's planner, importing all new tasks into your smartphone. It also sends you timely notifications to study for exams, do your homework and much more. Share function The app allows you to share notes, schedule and tasks through messaging apps and email. Customisation If the 3-letter codes provided don't work for you, that's fine, you can change them. You can edit colours as well. WHAT IF YOU DON'T HAVE A NOTEBOOK? No problem, you can also use the app on its own by entering data and cropping manually. This way the whole class can stay in the loop.
