Class Retriever
Read full descriptionHide full description
Tired of wondering what's been assigned in Google Classroom, when it's due, and whether it's been submitted? Class Retriever clearly shows what has been assigned in Google Classrooms so parents never have to ask again "Do you have homework? When is it due?" - Assignments appear as "submitted" or "unsubmitted." - Assignments can be sorted by course or due date. - Assignments that are unsubmitted and past due are highlighted red. - Refresh the screen to see up-to-date reporting on demand. While initially designed for parents, this is also a great tool for students who want to see what's been assigned and when it's due to prioritize their workloads at a glance. PLEASE NOTE: 1. Schools usually have to approve Class Retriever's connection to Google Classroom for the connection to work. Early adopters of Class Retriever should be prepared to ask their schools to allow Class Retriever to work with the school's Google Classroom instance. Class Retriever provides guidelines on how to make this request during on-boarding. There is no cost to schools to enable Class Retriever or allow its use. 2. Class Retriever requires the student's permission to connect Class Retriever to their Classroom account. 3. Class Retriever is FERPA and COPPA compliant. 4. Class Retriever is for users and students who are 13 years or older. Class Retriever was created by a mom to help her family and the families she knew.

Memorize your talk, word for word. Speakbound helps speakers, presenters, and students learn any speech, presentation, or poem by heart — then rehearse it out loud until it's automatic. HOW IT WORKS 1. Paste your speech. 2. Hide the words — first letters, random words, whole lines, or fill-in-the-blank. 3. Recite it out loud. Speakbound listens and scores you word by word, showing exactly which words you dropped. 4. Rehearse against your real time slot with the built-in timer. BUILT FOR PEOPLE WHO HAVE TO GET UP AND SPEAK · Conference talks, sales pitches, and board presentations · Class presentations, debate cases, and mock trial openings · Poems and recitation competitions · Wedding toasts and best man speeches · Club speeches — go noteless WHY SPEAKBOUND · Word-by-word scoring. Not "how did you sound" — did you say the right words. · Works on a plane, backstage, anywhere with no signal — your library, the hiding modes and the timer never need one. · Nothing is recorded, and no audio ever reaches us. Speakbound asks your phone to transcribe offline, and tells you on screen the rare times it can't. · No ads. Not on the free plan, not ever. · Spaced repetition so it stays learned, not crammed. FREE TO START 5 texts and the whole learning method: all five hiding modes — first letter, random words, whole lines, fill in the blanks and progressive — plus read-back, the rehearsal timer, spaced repetition, and 10 scored recitations to try the thing that makes this worth paying for. No ads, no time limit. SPEAKBOUND PRO Unlimited scored recitations and unlimited texts. Everything else — every hiding mode, the rehearsal timer, spaced repetition, and backing up your library — is free on any plan. $4.99/month · $19.99/year (7-day free trial) · $39.99 once, forever. Subscriptions renew automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the period ends. Manage or cancel in your App Store account settings.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Class Retriever at none against Speakbound's 3. Speakbound's advantage is update cadence (every 3 days vs every 6 months). On price, ads, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
