-Immediate Feedback is Awesome Highly recommend for use in nearly any setting from a classroom, to Sunday
school, to a training or meeting. The data is put into a user friendly format. It's a great app!!
Fan Barrys Review:
-Great for connected classrooms This is a great app for involving students through the comfortable medium of their
smartphones. In a country like Korea where smartphones are more common than not, it can help engage some
students otherwise afraid to participate in an English lecture.

If you were to alter one or more of the characteristics of the APP, how would you modify the APP?
-I would change the background color to a color that is a lot lighter. I feel that the black background makes the APP
not as visually appealing as it could be. It is fine how it is, but it can be a little more exciting for the students to view.
I would create a color changing component that the instructor can personalize if wanted.
Is the APP free or is there a fee for using it?
-This APP is currently free.
How popular is the APP?
-This APP currently has a four star rating so by the looks of it, it is very popular.

essential reminders they will need.

Review #2
What stands out about the design of the APP?
-The APP is very simple and organized. The design reminds me almost of a sheet of paper as far as the colors and
design.
What stands out about the content of the APP?
-The mute feature, which allows the APP to be on mute during your classes.
How innovative is the APP?
-The app is not as innovative as it could be for the day and age that we have advanced in technology. Adding more
features that allow the user to personalize their planner and features that allow the instructors to connect with the
student would be very beneficial.

Trevor Austins Review:
-Its needs something... I love this app! It is so organized and easy to use. I can put all of my classes into one place
and have homework assignments added to each specific class as needed. I just can't use after two days because I have
8 different classes. 1 to 4 on A day, and 5 to 8 on B day. So this app should have A B class schedules. So far it
doesn't, but if it happens I'll start using this app for reals!

If you were to alter one or more of the characteristics of the APP, how would you modify the APP?
-I would allow the students to be able to personalize the APP and make it more their own. As it is, many students do
not use planners so it would be beneficial to make them more appealing to the user. I would also add a teacher
component as well. For example, adding assignments to blackboard that will show up on their reminders.
Is the APP free or is there a fee for using it?
-The APP is currently free.
How popular is the APP?
-This APP is pretty popular, for it currently has a four star rating.

but it alows parents to really be a part of their child's academic careers.

My APP Review
Are there any apps that are similar to your app? If so, how is your app different?

administrators to connect with the parents as well and it also allows the school to inform the parent regarding any
events or special information.

-The target audience would be for parents.
Would you charge for your app or would it be free to users?
