What Users Love About the App

“I like how quickly I can input a test and then create the scantron sheets. I use the generic sheets and just have my students bubble In their student numbers. The computer webcam easily recognizes the cards. Feel my student data is secure too. The analytical reports are good.”

“The entire concept is extremely useful. It’s compatibility with phones and laptop cameras is helpful, but I personally will scan all documents quickly in a batch at the copier, send the PDF file to myself, and then drag and drop it into the Scans section of the software. This is by far the fastest and most efficient way I’ve found to grade any assignment.”

“I love how convenient this is and how quick it will grade for me. This is a must have for any teacher. Saves me a lot of time and gives students individual feedback. I will never grade tests by hand again.”

“I love how quick and easy it is to grade my assessments! Students also get instant feedback so you can review needed concepts!”

“Any teacher will tell you that the amount of time we spend grading is obscene. In addition to this, the new demands for data use in lesson planning adds even more weight to the shoulders of your average educator. GradeCam offers a simple solution that lives right in your pocket. Import your gradebook, print out a customizable answer sheet, and scan it into your phone.”

What Users Dislike About the App

“The interface of this software could use some definite work. Alot of buttons do something other that what you’d think they would be intended for and the entire UI could use a makeover for greater ease-of-use. Printing multiple grade sheets on one page can be a pain as well, with a lot of blank space amounting to wasted paper.”

‘Sometimes the camera has issues seeing the card, I just rescan again. On occasion I have a student use the wrong color pen and I redo the cards for them.”

“Sometimes there is a lag or error when taking the picture of the test, but most times it gets it on the first try.”

“The scanner is extremely sensitive. Sometimes it can take me up to 20 seconds for it to scan one assessment.”

“Sometimes my software freezes and I have to re-start.”
