Alright this app is ok if u wanna look at ur grades and only look at ur grades and what I mean by that is with the old app “grades” you could do more with ur grades you could interact with them putting in grades that may help you and see what u could do for a better grade without asking ur teacher to keep plugging in grades as soon as u hand them the paper top of this u could plug in a test to see how high or how low u did and to see what that’s gonna do to ur over all grade this is what I do to my test and hw cuz if i plugged in so and so many points that my hw is worth and put it as zero bcs I don’t wanna do it just to see what it’d do to my grade and if I see it drop I’m gonna do it bcs I wanna keep my A and yes the Aries app shows u the attendance and grades so grades isn’t the only thing it does but that’s what I’m looking at the main point of the app so over all I think this app is just for parents and not students because it only shows u grades and doesn’t allows u to plug stuff in to see what u could do to better ur grade -Carlos A.

This series app is actually quite overall decent, it allows you to see your grades in an organized manner and you can even add in a “what if” assignment by tapping a pencil in the top right that allows you to see how much a certain assignment will affect your grade. This app has all the features I would like except a few I would like added, such as a simple way to communicate with a teacher, and a better attendance page. There are a few downsides, hence the star removed. Like, sometimes when I open the app to check my grades the classes don’t show but it still shows I’m logged in, and in order to fix this I have to log out and relog back in. Not a major issue but it’s a minor annoyance. Another issue is the attendance page. I wish it would give me more information about how many days enrolled, and showing every day of the school year in detail about my attendance. Overall like I said this app is still great and makes it simple to check my grades when I need to.

I used to have the grades app but I had my phone stolen and when I got a new one, I noticed that the grades app was no longer on the App Store. I remember getting a notification from grades awhile ago saying something about how they’re shutting down and that there will be a similar app by aeries that we can use instead, so I got the aeries app. Unfortunately the aeries app is pretty awful in comparison to grades. It’s really complicated in comparison yet has less helpful features. If I wanted to see my attendance, grades from previous semesters, etc., I would go to the aeries website! I just want to easily see what grades I have without having to navigate through this confusing app. Also, probably one of the best things about grades is that it had the calculator feature which let you calculate your grades by creating mock assignments, dropping assignments, etc. Now I can’t do that and I can’t find any other app that will! Aeries, please listen to me, if you’re gonna get rid of grades (I’m assuming it’s your fault they shut down) at least try to offer the same features as them!!!

The previous Grades app was much more useful and helpful, as students could calculate the grades they needed on either tests or homework in order to pass a class. Additionally the application was much more navigable and pleasing to look at, color coding each individual subject to separate your classes into a more visually appealing user interface. This application color codes based on the grade you have which is not only stressful but it’s also unclean. Each class has no distinguishable feature so the entire application looks like something off of a computer form the early 2000s., making it harsh to look at. I would say the app is useful for looking at grades but it can’t even fulfill its primary function properly, as I am given an error message almost every time I open the app and am forced to log back in. Overall, the purpose of this app is to make viewing your grades on your phone easier, and it fails to accomplish this seemingly simple task.

To all the users of this app who claim there is no mock grade feature that can calculate a changed grade like the grades app did. You are wrong. You simply go into the class you want to calculate, press the pencil icon at the top of the screen, and tap on an assignment you would like to edit or tap on the “what if assignment” feature that pops up above the assignments and enter the information you wish to calculate and it will automatically calculate the “what if” change. But I also have a request for Aeries. Is it possible to add a feature that will alert a user when a grade has been updated? Instead of constantly checking and waiting for an update it would be far more convenient for a guaranteed notification when a grade is updated.
