The new Hero app is designed to make tracking behaviors, complying disciplinary actions, and reviewing student information an efficient experience on any mobile device. With drastic improvements to mobile barcode reading, redesigned workflows to make tracking multiple students easier, smarter ways to search for students, and new compliance modes, these new apps are designed to fit in seamlessly with how you work at school. We're also excited about what these apps represent: a new mobile platform for Hero that we can aggressively expand upon. The world is mobile first, and we believe your school productivity apps should be the same. In the future, we will be adding classroom interfaces, integrating the student and guardian portals, and adding all kinds of amazing functionality to these apps.
