Attendance2 App Reviews

Great app, but there is an issue with the newest version whereby the attendance buttons for each student are not responsive; one must tap slightly above the actual green or red color and on the actual word to change the attendance status. at times, I will push several times and the status wont change. I am using an iPhone 5C. The old buttons for this worked favorably to the current versions.

I last reviewed v. 3.9 with five starts. The new version gets five as well. The new feature of being able to view a graph of the students attendance right on the class attendance screen is great. So if a student has been present half the time, their graph would be half red, half green. Great to see trends at a glance. As always, customer support continues to be great. Everytime I’ve emailed the developer, I’ve received a response within 24 hours.

This app is going to make checking in over one hundred students weekly super easy. The QR code generator automation works really well with the auto-generated unique IDs. I had no issues getting it set up. I just wish I could automatically update the student database in the app from the file in dropbox or even better, be able to do that from google drive.

Bought this app for our ministry to track our attendance and I cant get this app to open on any of our iPads.

Update: The update from Mid-June 2015 used a version of Text Expander that caused it to crash on devices not running iOS 8. I emailed the developer and he responded within hours. The problem is fixed. Imagine that! Communication and patience are more effective than anonymous griping in app store reviews. Hmm. I have been using this app for 3.5 years, and it continues to get better all the time. My favorite features are that I can add student photos and create random student groups (helps with on-the-fly random seating on test days). It instantly shows me total number of students present and total enrolled. Its easy to pull up each students individual records. I can keep notes about student contact, too, and email a copy of attendance records to each student directly from the app. Nearly everything is customizable and automated. I can back up with Dropbox, too. Best support in the App Store!

To Summit life: please update to the latest version. Version 4.5.1 had a bug that would crash on launch on iOS 7. Version 4.5.2 fixes this.

Works well after a small learning curve. I use it for all my college course attendance lists.

The visual aesthetics are not much to write home about, but after that this app does everything and way more than I need it to do. What’s more, the developer is super responsive. I emailed a simple question and he responded within an hour or two. Fantastic.

I dont usually review apps. But this application is amazing and a time saver. It is so helpful with regular size classes, but large size classes (100+) students is where it really shines.

Just tried this out with my 100-voice middle school choir and it was awesome! THANK YOU for an app that makes attendance easy and fun. I highly recommend to any teachers of large music ensembles.

Dont do it! I wish I wouldnt have!
