I give this app three stars . I think it's a new version. I miss having the feature to see how much documentation you're entering, the objectives, how many you already have, and the other features the older version had. I do love how easy and quickly it uploads the documentation for us educators. I am certain it is work in progress , and I do recommend downloading the app. It is very helpful for educators.Thank you

I'm giving this a one star because it's the lowest rating I can put. If I had a choice I'd give it zero stars. Anytime I log in on the app it just gives me the loading circle. I have been trying to log in on this app for over a month. I have tried everything I can think of to make it work, such as uninstalling the app, restarting it, etc. Nothing works! It's so frustrating!

1 star because I can't put it lower. All school year this app has not worked properly for a majority of it. It crashes, kicks you out, won't load at all, won't upload assessments. The latest for me is that it just gives me the spinning wheel. Or it "acts normal" until I go to do anything then the screen just constantly flashes. I've had assessments "uploading" since mid December. I can't use it, and I NEED to use it for my class
