worst app ever
worst app ever
randomly signs you out, and it's a pain to sign you in which costs you points in class. Just a generally broken app.
This service is very odd. It seems it must be paid for, and it already is worse than free alternatives. It constantly struggles to keep a connection during my classes to the point I have to restart the application every minute.
Service is plain not good, program uses a location system to check attendance, straight doesn't work a non-insignificant amount of the time and I had to download the app and thats annoying.
Get ready to see the words "reconnecting" and "failed to send"... and sometimes nothing at all
why do they need an app to find the location of the device? are they too stupid to realize that BSSID scanning is a thing, and it can give you a location within a few meters of the classroom? Instead, now I have to install an app in an unsandboxed environment (my personal phone) and then turn on location/Bluetooth. this is not necessary. I think it's all about boosting their app numbers. I'm gonna uninstall between each use just to screw with them.
I'm paying enough for college, but of course this app wants to gouge me of even more money that I don't have. Thanks to this terrible, BROKEN app, I have to pay just to be counted present in a class I'm already paying to attend. Here's an idea, maybe add a way to watch ads for a free CHECK IN, or make the school eat the charge of using this app instead. I hope the worst for everyone involved in wasting my money.

Please tell me why I not only have to download this app for attendance but it makes me pay for it as if I don't already pay a ton for tuition? $16 just for access to the mandatory slides is crazy work

A drop after an update usually means the update broke something.
