Hi Guys. I think you have a remarkable app here! My husband and I (both teachers) are thoroughly impressed!
I have a suggestion about quick entry. I love the attendance extra quick entry feature and use it every day to keep track of whether or not my students have brought their instruments to music class.

However, I see other possibilities for this tool. I'm wondering if it is possible to design your own icons for this? Our elementary school uses a 1-2-3-4 rubric system but I love the visual of icons. I'd like to be able to design the icons for a rubric I am already using (e.g. blue star is 4, green check is 3, yellow frowny face is 2, red x is 1) then they would appear next to each name as it does in the attendance extra quick entry. Maybe it could be called "custom extra quick check" or something. Then, as my kids check in with me (its usually rapid fire and random order) or do a performance, I can just tap the extra quick entry icon that's already up next to their name. Of course, then you would have to have the flexibility to change the icons in the grade system calculator as well. But it would be so efficient. As it is, I just use the extra quick attendance but I need more than a :yes-no" variety for some things.
Does this make any sense?
Just a thought.

Thanks again for a wonderful app! There are so many good parts, this is only a dream for my own ease.

Hi shaprowell,
Yep, it absolutely makes sense. It has been suggested already and we're working on it for our upcoming update (expected on early Jan). Having custom icons poses some serious complexities though and we'll try instead to add a huge list of additional icons to choose from , please feel free to suggest yours!
There will be a custom configuration for the extra quick attendance options, but I really like the idea of a custom made 'extra quick' editor, lets see if we are still on time to add this one for this update.

Regards and thanks for contacting us
