iGrade (Gradebook for Teacher, Student and Parent)

response required

Loved it till it dropped most of my daughters attendance this year. I wrote twice to get help with no answer.

Help needed: I have been looking for a Grade Book app to use with my Adult ESL students. When I looked through this what iGrade does, I found what I needed. I paid the amount for the app. $4.99 but was confused when I discovered that I would have to also pay: Unlimited Data $.99 and iGrade Premium Subscription $1.99 I tried to pay for the Premium Subscription, but was told I couldn’t do that. I tapped on the “Subscribe for $.99 month,” I get: “Error App Store Unavailable OK” I set up my account on my iPhone, but don’t know how to synch on my iPad. Do I pay a separate $4.99 to download it there? Thank you for such a wonderful grade book. If anyone can answer any of these questions, I would really appreciate it. I want to use the full functionality of iGrade.

LAUSD is a huge District. It PROHIBITS us from putting student portraits and other personal (contact) information on the web. There is a good reason for this: some students and parents are in the Federal Witness Protection Program after testifying against various individuals and/or gangs. We don't want anyone to locate a student or relatives because Google or other entity "unfortunately" got hacked. This app , as wonderful as it is, can be sync'd or backed up or updated or transferred ONLY VIA GOOGLE DOCS. I have begged the developers, over many years and updates, to give us the option to sync etc. over USB or closed ad-hoc network using iTunes or a browser. At one point they emailed me to the effect that this was coming. But it wasn't true. I cannot use the most touted features of the app and am reduced to having what any free spreadsheet or database could do. No humanizing portraits of my little angels, no "Augmented Reality", no mass emails etc., just numbers and text. Any teacher who uses it, as is, cannot backup to google docs or else is risking loss of job, credential, and may well be subject to civil prosecution. I lost all of my data last year because a corrupted file forced me to wipe my iPad3 and start again. With over 100 students, this was not feasible . Much cheaper programs allow secure backup and sync. Why can't this one ? Maybe if more of you requested this, it would finally happen. I'm crossing my fingers.

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! It is really nice too to have the tutorials available from the App so you don't need to get out and comeback. Even if there are a few things to improve, I give it a 5 Stars as it is the best Gradebook out there and we need more of these…
