Cost
Can’t do anything without getting premium
bad app
if i could i would give this app a zero. not only do you need to pay for most of the stuff but you need to make all the assignments and percentages yourself instead of signing in. i highly recommend bessy instead
You have to pay.
I was so extremely excited to use this app to keep track of my GPA and calculate test scores. I was only able to put 3 classes before it made me pay. So disappointing.
paywall
this app is supposed to help struggling students meet there goals. this isn’t any special app, its not magic. we shouldn’t have to pay a subscription to stay organized. if it was a cheap one time payment i would pay but a subscription for a student to stay organized in a basic app is crazy. they care more about the money than your grades.
LOST ALL MY GRADES
This app worked great in the beginning. I'm in my third semester and as I'm trying to put my grades in, they all delete after I close the app!! I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling and I checked for updates on my phone and on the app, nothing helped ! I tried emailing support for help and no one got back to me. And now all my grades are gone!! Do not trust this app.
Costs money
I don’t like this app. I was only allowed to create 3 classes, If i wanted to do more i would need to pay a monthly cost. All i want to do is check my grades and see what they would be without having to pay.
Chug
Does not let me down load it bc of my type of internet
Not at all accurate
Firstly none of the calculated grades are accurate which defeats the purpose of even using this app. Secondly I can’t seem to enter extra credit, even if I set the item under the extra credit tab it will not let me put 5/0 for example. Its very frustrating. Even without calculating in the extra credit I’m getting in my classes the calculated grade is not accurate according to my school website. I’ve tried using the point system vs the weight % system and they are both off by 5-10%.
basically paid only
only get to add three courses unless you have premium
Forces you to pay
After adding 3 classes you are forced to pay for the app
Can’t add classes or semesters
Suddenly I can’t add classes without switching & paying for premium. Every single thing I’ve tried, anything I click on, suddenly needs premium. At this point just make people pay for the app if it’s not going to be usable without premium…
I use this myself and used to recommend it to the 75+ students I tutor each semester. Deleting and will no longer recommend.

Has some issues
You can only put 4 classes unless you pay for more which is really stupid. Otherwise it’s ok. Some of it doesn’t make sense at first but after a bit I figured it out.
Uh
Keeps deleting my classes and grades. Not about to add them for the third time. SMH
It needs a lot of work
I have been tracking my grades for almost a decade now and switched to this app when my favorite one became unavailable. This one is passable for rough estimates, but here are some concerns:
1. Calculations for multiple assignments seem to be wrong so you must put in each individually to get an accurate number.
2. Interface is flimsy and numbers look awkward based on their size. The overall style of the app looks cheap and lacks the creativity and engagement that others have.
3. Biggest complaint - the price for the premium features of this app is absolutely insane. I’d find a different app before wasting your money on this. Many other apps on the market do the same thing for not nearly as much money.

This app is difficult to navigate
I downloaded this app because of the great reviews on it. It doesn’t allow me to add my current grades in order to determine where I’m at in my class, so I purchased the premium. Still no headway, plus I still don’t have full access.
I reached out to the developer with the hope that he can provide a video tutorial or something. If not, I expect a refund.

Terrible
I bought the premium but as soon as I did that, the app started crashing after every single task. It was very annoying and it took 9 dollars.
Not enough options
I used this to find what grads I need to get and there was no way to do that
yet another subscription
Seems like a good app, but having more than one term or more than 3 classes requires a subscription
Disappointed
I found this app on Facebook, thought it would be great for nursing school, but no matter what I do, my grade from the app and my grade from my grade book are not the same.
Premium
I have to pay premium to use the group function on my iPad but not my iPhone? Makes no sense. Will be making sure that I do not update on my phone if that’s the case. No reason to ruin a good thing by forcing users to pay to use a function that has been available for free.
