What Users Love About the App
“I have been using for a while now and I am very impressed. First it looks great, it is a very clean and polished interface. Second, the more I use it the more functionalities I find. I have used the other Gradebooks and I don’t think any has as many features. The multi weights options for the grades and the “Classroom Augmented Reality” are pretty unique and once you get use to it, you can’t live without it!”
“I have been using iGrade for a few days now and I really like it. It looks very professional and works just as it looks. The data entry is very easy and there are some nice functionalities like the students import or the assignment of the same student to multiple classes that makes it easy. I am a big fan of the augmented reality view with the attendance list, very quick to use.”
“This is a powerful grading app. My wife who is also a school teacher recommended me to use this app and I am glad I gave it a try. If you are not too much of a techie it will be easy for you as well since it has a very intuitive interface. I mostly use it in my ipad to visualize the student data and keep track of attendance. I highly recommend it.”
“Very user friendly. Easy to use but still packed with functionalities. I am collecting all my data with it and then exporting the data for reporting and analysis. Love it! I am collecting all my data on iGrade and then exporting the data at the end of the month to Google Doc, I was able to load all this data directly into our School Grading System.”
“Finally a good grade book on iPad! I have been using the iPhone version for a long time and I am so happy the iPad version is out, the interface is totally new and it is so much easier to manipulate the long lists and navigate through the menus… Great Job!”
What Users Dislike About the App
“Don’t bother. Not very user friendly. Very confusing when you first start out and the help section really does nothing to help you. You really have just do lots of trial and error to get the hang of things. App will close out for no reason sometimes when you are in the middle of something.”
“Difficult to use! I purchased the app because it was the best-looking gradebook app I could find. That is the only plus that I could find for this app. The app is difficult to use, and is organized by assignments rather than by classes and students. That doesn’t make any sense.”
“You can’t sync to the iPhone app any more, they ditched the student import feature, so you have to manually type everything I with you iPad (which is horribly slow). They said they would have an upgrade coming out to address these issues. Unfortunately they didn’t deliver before school, and I am currently looking for a gradebook replacement.”
“Began using (unfortunately) and constantly crashing after any entry from day one. Now it has crashed so many times the app will not open without instantly crashing on every open. Very unstable”
“This app is terrible. I bought it and nothing worked. I thought maybe I was restricted because I did not have the full version so I purchased the monthly subscription only to cancel that soon after. Nothing on it worked. Things get deleted once you leave the screen or close the app. TEACHERS BEWARE!! Major stressor!!”
