iTeacher App

Very clunky always on the wrong settings. In general not at all functional at times.

Taking a register (the main reason for using the app) does not work: the buttons are greyed out and unresponsive.

For some unknown reason, also unknown to the IT Département, iSAMS does not give me full access to the teacher app on my iPad, despite me having access on my phone. There seems to be no reason for it, and it makes timetabling music lessons a nightmare. As far as I’m concerned, it’s useless on my iPad.

Colleagues and I have found that constantly get data access errors. Nothing works - can’t see dashboard and one of the quick views or timetable wizards load. Don’t bother - just use your computer.

Using my mobile I was unable to save group registration. No save message appeared!?

I use an iPhone 12 mini and cannot see the toolbar at the bottom of the page. There are tabs that need to use there. Please can you fix that?

But is fine on second opening. Does not give enough detail int he timetable app. Cannot do alerts like on a browser.

This app seems to have missed a trick - there is no way to use it to write reports, one of the most time -consuming exercises that can be done at home.

When it works, this app is great, but every time I try and pull up a pupil timetable or list at the moment I just get a blank screen. This is really not helpful. It used to be significantly better (hence 2 stars not one) and if it works again in the future I’d be happy to update my review. But at the moment it’s next to useless for accessing info on any Apple device and really impinging on me being able to do my job properly!

Both the App and the Dashboard need to have quick merit/concern features on the register. You can leave the register open during your lesson and right click on a pupil to give a merit quickly, rather than the 3+ windows to do one simple task.
