Grade Corner

I’m writing the review here because it won’t actually allow me to type a review for some reason but whatever. There’s two main problem with in in my opinion that keeps it from getting 5 stars. 1. You need to sign in every time you login in. It’s honestly annoying. We already did it for the first time we signed in. Why can’t you guys same it or something? Please tell me the reason and I might consider to change the star rate. Anyway, the 2. Problem to me is that annoying pigeon! Jk, Jk. That’s not the main problem, but that pigeon is annoying. The main problem is that it takes to long to load. Ok, I might seem like I’m impatient but I’m not. Sometimes as we wait to see our grades or what class we have it takes so long that it kicks us out and we have to sign in again. It’s annoying. Anyway, thanks for reading this or whoever you are. These are just my personal observations and opinions. Thanks again.

Parents and students are normally stuck with a system called Aspen. It looks like it was built in 1998. They must not have a UX team. Anything would be better than the interface they make us wade through right now, on phone apps and desktops. Horrible. This app though? Bright, cheery, responsive, easy to rotate between kids. Easy to check every day. Login is even faster than the school system’s site and it’s the same authentication procedure! Every parent I know that finds this app is so happy to not have to use Aspen for anything but absence reporting. All the extra admin stuff isn’t available but it makes the core functions easy to find. It’s great! Two things that need improvement in this app: the schedule tab never shows a schedule even though my high schooler and elementary schoolers have them, and attendance only displays entries by days but not the running total for the quarter, semester or year. I need that as much as grades some times of year. Please add those fields/values. When you do, you could monetize this app.

The app is very efficient and accessible, as well you don’t have to constantly sign in to check your grades. This is really useful especially when I just want to check them once and then not again until the next day, and I like the feature where it gives you your schedule for the day the previous days and whichever day you would like. Also, the feature to see your attendance is really useful so when I get an absence I can just email a teacher.
