App Profile: Q interactive Assess

Rating: 3/5

I used the old Q-interactive assess app and this new one. Up until the most recent updates were released, I found that the app worked smoothly. It’s a great time saver when the app works. However, within the past couple of months (April-May) there are times where there have been connection issues and the student iPad suddenly goes to a blank screen including during timed tests. The examiner iPad at times will notify me that the iPads are connected and disconnected frequently, like every few seconds. Unfortunately, I have had to write, “The student’s scores may not be the best representation of the child’s ability because of technical issues,” or something to that effect in my reports. I hope that the IT team at Pearson can come up with a solution to these issues soon. I know that these issues started occurring when apple made changes that affected compatibility.

App freezes periodically, interrupting flow and threatening standardization. Please address this asap.

The app worked fine until the last update. I’ve had it freeze twice moving from the first WIAT subtest to the second, requiring a complete closure of the app. This has happened other times as well, not always after the same subtests. I had to exit a fluency subtest that let me display the test items to the student but grayed out the items so I couldn’t record the answers. I had to add the subtest to the end, which worked. Very frustrating when you’re testing kids with attention disorders.
