The developer was quick to respond back to me with quick fixes for the issues I was having Thanks                     Support Chris Derry

I was forced to switch to the new version when the original app stopped working after an update and boy do I miss the old version It was just much more user friendly and intuitive If possible please get the buttons on the bottom of the screen back I will most likely continue to use this app as it is still the best I could find but I miss the simplicity of the original app             Miss the original app evalarad

As a choral director with classes of up to 50 60 kids this app has been an absolute life saver My kids each have a code on their folder and they scan in as they enter the room                     I have gained so much class time Singatdcds

This is a really good app I used it to take attendance for the past three years I teach at a community college and normally have around five on ground classes 25 to 30 students in each class I recommended the app to a colleague and he now uses it and thinks it s awesome too                 Last date of attendance Running:)

Review 3 This app has definitely helped me grow my business But with that had come another need to share the attendance among multiple coaches I d still recommend this app above all the rest but it would seem fairly simple to add a one button sync to a Dropbox file that could also be shared Right now the workaround is ridiculously inefficient Also for anyone who uses this data to dump to google sheets to process it all I ve found that it s simpler to save the emailed CSV directly to my online server and then link it to auto update on Sheets with the importdata URL formula Now I can do it all from my phone Review 2 after update After creating a spreadsheet that filtered everything correctly this app works perfect The UI improvement of the header color was a great and needed touch Once you get to know the app it s good Still wish I could ve just customized the spreadsheet output rather than use a series of formulas and several sheets Review 1 I wish the look and functionality were like the Red Hawk Attendance app This one is a bit confusing and a tad tedious Love the customization and calculations I d like it even more so if you could customize the exported spreadsheet a bit My specific want would be to have just the names and the total scores showing After months worth of classes that s a lot of data to sort on the horizontal axis of my google doc Overall great app                 Great app decent UI Jonsan32

For several years we have been using Attendance to keep track of 150 kids on an annual ski trip among 15 chaperones The data we use is pretty simple and the formatting is rudimentary i e not flashy but then information is critical and at finger tips of every chaperone On the six hour bus ride to VT we have each kid come to the front and we verify all information and take their picture to add to the file Having the picture on hand also good for safety name recognition etc                     Ski Trip Made Easy c16rb

I was looking for a simple way to capture attendance AND analyze the captured data I used the previous app Attendance which would let me dump data to DropBox in a form I could be dropped into a database table without too much difficulty Attendance2 added many nice new features It really is a great app for most people but the reporting is not friendly to databases It takes a lot of effort to convert reports to simple normalized form which would support data analysis So I went back to the old app until I acquired an iPhone 6s which broke Attendance Finally I decided I did not need many bells and whistles and tried using Google sheets and Excel file on DropBox on my phone and then pulling the data down to Excel with ODBC queries Both methods work great and I get data in neat tables for analysis So for most of you I would recommend Attendance2 but if you want to gather data tables for your own analysis keep looking             Best I could find but Mrneutr0n

I have used this app to take attendance for my select choirs for the past year Works smoothly to do everything it s supposed to do and support is great I emailed the app developer and had a solution to my problem my error incredibly fast Highly recommended                     Great App isyj96

Seriously the best 5 I ve ever spent Deserves WAY more attention I don t know of any other app that allows attendance to be taken with personal QR codes I just give each high school student a print out they take a pic of it and scan it each time they come in You can even personalize late times class times and if you want to email them or their parent on account of an absence This app has saved me so much time whoever developed this is an angel                     This app is beyond amazing Presidentnaremnats

I have been using this app for a number of years recording attendance for college classes It is clear that it is designed by someone has to take attendance I import the student list from the Contacts app which in turn imports all the student information from a spreadsheet I can get from the University website Then among many other functions I can easily export attendance figures back to the same spreadsheet It s perfect for me                     Solid well considered attendance app -CHE-

This app is great It is versatile for many different needs and could be used in a single classroom or for after school events activities The spreadsheet options are great I d love to have a few more options but it does provide quite a few Dave the developer is very nice and is responsive to troubleshooting He helped me figure out a problem I was having in a very timely manner I appreciate him and his app                     Love it CNixonC

I ve used this app to track attendance for years now I love the photo option to help me learn students names This app is free and ad free many thanks to the developer                     Use it every semester Sheri-Lynn

Don t do it I wish I wouldn t have     No Blonde2167

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                     Get this app now Ms. H LSMS

I don t 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                     Simply amazing Jasem.q

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                     Great app Zzzelt

Works well after a small learning curve I use it for all my college course attendance lists                     Cscott Cwrench99

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                     from the developer of Attendance2 dave256

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 It s easy to pull up each student s 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                     All I could need in an attendance app 04Dawg

Bought this app for our ministry to track our attendance and I can t get this app to open on any of our iPads     Doesn t even open on my iPad Summit life

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                 Awesome and affordable way for any attendance Andy Garcia

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                     Love the New Version Ouijet

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 won t change I am using an iPhone 5C The old buttons for this worked favorably to the current version s     Touch Responsiveness spcphd

4 2 update The bar graph is amazing At a glance I can see not only that a student was late once but a readout of how bad attendance has been I think even Edward Tufte would approve This is better at what it does than a Numbers spreadsheet or any other dedicated attendance app 1 It is astoundingly easy to take roll 2 It s also easy to email students individually and to single out students who have missed class 3 I count off a certain number of points for tardiness or absence and the app allows me to set those values and find easy totals 4 I can randomly select students and assign them to groups quickly Essentially it does what it says on the tin and it does it far better than the next best option that s worth at least four stars right However I have a few caveats 1 Some options seem mutually exclusive like the Link with Dropbox and Unlink with Dropbox Don t you need to display only one of those Even so the app is complex because it has to be complex as a cluttered desk is said to be the hallmark of an active mind I suppose an app cluttered with features is by definition feature rich Certainly it is much closer to doing anything you d want it to than another app 2 The attendance status is not aligned with the names It s not a biggie just odd 3 Displays and reports of student attendance data are a little awkward and zoomed out but there s a button right there and pinch to zoom works 4 No perfect sync between iPhone and iPad Hopefully iOS 8 s iCloud improvements will make sync better Even so odds are that you re going to use this more on one device than another Stick with that                 Good Allen Shull

This app has made things much easier for me when tracking all my classes The software is flexible enough for me make any adjustments needed for my particular system keeping track I have also received prompt and concise responses from Mr Reed that have been extremely helpful                     Flexible and accomodating Howard M science 101

As a teacher I use this app every day It cuts hours of work into minutes it gives parents students valuable data about how they are performing allows you to email or text every student parent an individual report of their progress in seconds and the developer will respond quickly every time you email him Can t get better than this                     Would be lost without this app ALVY21

Example of an app that did not improve with the new version The original was easy to use This thing is almost unusable I can t even give it one star Sorry I am going to the original     Attendance2 Vaclav Sotola

I think Attendance2 runs the smoothest out of any available attendance app on the AppStore I used the first version for 3 years and have been using this one for 1 month and enjoy it                     Solid and stable PS3gamrr

This is a terrific app I teach at a community college and my students love this way of taking attendance I am able to export my student s info from D2L to dropbox and right into the app I can generate qr codes and then each student gets one Most of them store them on their smartphones Then they just beep in every day Awesome                     This is the one I ve been waiting for jtacinelli

I use this app every day in my HS classes Though it takes a little set up and exploration you will find it has just about everything you could ask for in an attendance app I especially love attendance2 for keeping track of my students on out of town trips Give it a shot you won t be disappointed                     Great app Cayce Miners

I am safety leader in my building I am using the Attendance2 to improve evacuation accounting for 300 people This is required under US OHSA 29 CFR 1910 38 Emergency Action Plans sub clause c 4 An emergency action plan must include at a minimum c 4 Procedures to account for all employees after evacuation My goal is to get names of the missing in the hands of leadership for notifications in minutes To date companies have written procedures but I think it take a long time I am one of two volunteer safety leaders for my building We are planning on using the Attendance2 to improve evacuation accounting for 300 people This is required under US OHSA 29 CFR 1910 38 Emergency Action Plans sub clause c 4 An emergency action plan must include at a minimum c 4 Procedures to account for all employees after evacuation Our goal is to get names of the missing in the hands of our Crisis team s for notifications etc To date companies have written procedures but I think it take hours with manual process for them to figure out who s impacted in a crisis This app that got my attention to meet this need                     Use for evacuation KLove1937

You can literally do more with notepad this app is worthless what a waste of 5 00 should have given it to a homeless person instead     Wow HORRIBLE FirerescueBRFD

The App helps me keep track of attendance for my college courses It is not always intuitive to figure out or understand the Help info but the Developer is responsive and helpful in supporting the App As a result I see now that the App does everything I need it to do for the way I want to track attendance                 Good App and Support ThePracticalProf

The author has provided us access to a truly useful and powerful app I typically use it on my iPad because I have all my class notes and the text book on that device I am using the Status1 and Status2 features fully and they are very useful There is a note taking capability for keeping track of what happened in class as well as individual and dated notes for each student There is a small learning curve for the app which is time well invested A previous reviewer was carping about the look I think the look is just fine It s a utilitarian and stable app created for us by a computer sciences professor who makes but small change selling it All I care about is that it WORKS And it works very well                     Outstanding app Dawgknot

I have been using this for a while now it is very easy to use and customize I have found it to be very reliable with no problems Great app                     Great app 5960za

As a visual person teaching studio courses where attendance is key I don t know what I d do without this app I love the photos the ability to instantly communicate and of course the reports After using Attendance 1 for two years I m thrilled to have the refinements and ease of use of Attendance 2 It s worth every penny                     Don t teach without it Liz I

The creator of this app does not understand simplicity and good design     Way to complicated Desposi

When I first wrote a review of this app it was missing a key feature being able to add students from the contacts However since that time the developer added this feature and it is really made this attendance app I think the best one I downloaded a couple of different apps and this one is robust and had got every different setting that you possibly need to be able to l take attendance of any group you ever wanted to a classroom of students a sports team a church whatever you re doing and the developer if you ever have a question you can contact him he has already contacted me back already three times If he can help he will I don t know this guy personally but he has been a help Thanks for a great app                     This is a great app with great service I highly recommend it Samara Coach

I have been using Attendance for years and have told a lot of colleagues about it It made my record keeping much easier and the photo option helped me learn my students names very quickly each semester When I realized the new iOS would not support my old version I bought Attendance2 and although the interface is a little different I already appreciate the new features Now I can record how much a student has participated in a particular class I can easily see the red students who have been missing classes and I can indicate if a student left early As I was migrating the information from the first weeks of class into this new app I was having trouble with the reports I emailed Dave and this is no lie he got back to me within five minutes with the solution since the semester had already started I needed to change the date range the reports were covering Since he is a professor teaching a full load I would not expect that amazing response time every day but it happened today This app will make your life easier taking attendance will be unobtrusive and your students will think you are on the cutting edge of technology                     You Can Tell a Teacher Made This App StrickerStreet

This app is great and easy to use Please keep support for iOS5                     Great app Hermes3g

I am a chief medical resident and am tasked with taking attendance of other doctors at conferences I refuse to sit there and check off boxes I found this app and it is the perfect replacement I imported the residents info into the app from my contacts list created badges with QR tags using the apps QR creating feature I now watch as residents scan in for attendance It feels so high tech looks complex but isn t really and everyone participates I m very happy with the app and recommend it for anyone who is willing to invest a little time into learning the app I must say even without scanning the qr badges its quite a good program The author is very helpful and constantly tweaks the app Strong recommendation                     Amazing app and author cmulla1

I did not like having to purchase the app at full price I have use the old version for several years Getting use to the new version takes some time However the changes to the app are a big improvement Attendance2 is faster and is easier to navigate Setting the class times is a great time saver If you are new to taking attendance I highly recommend this app And if you like Attendance you ll love this version                     Very good PTA DC

Just a great app The QRCode function is unbelievable I use it to check in homework Speeds the process up If you have an idea just send the author an email and he gets back to you right away about whether the idea is something he could include in an update                     Best attendance app ever Tkb92

Fabulous app Was looking for flexible tool for my church and came across this resource It is intuitive powerful and flexible Dave although busy surprised me with a speedy answer to an email question                     Assistant Pastor DRothra

I am a college instructor and tried this last fall when I had 4 classes and Mon Wed Fri meetings Before the first class meeting I imported names from Moodle and then used an IPad to take a picture of each student the first day I made up a demo class with pictures of students Bart Simpson Harry Potter etc and showed the class how I would be using the app I strongly believe that my attendance was way up because the students knew I would be watching I ordered the students by where they usually sit and taking attendance took no time at all A great app supported by a responsive developer this couldn t be better Thank you Dave                     A HUGE help ActgProf
