SAM Customer Insights

1. Like, in absenteeism report, the students should be sorted by class; summary of class report should show the names of the students who are present/absent not the number itself; and lastly, the reports can be printed directly to excel file.

2. I wish that multiple people can scan attendance and sync across apps but I know this app is meant for small groups.

3. Do consider LAN or local installation for locations that lack proper internet connectionIt would be better if you could provide checkbox for classes in students profile.

4. It's a great app if you don't need an in and out scanning ability.This is one useful app when it comes to knowing the top 5 early birds.

5. Literally the best attendance app I've come across that is free and is the only one that is able to scan our student ID barcodes.

6. Thanks! PS: Also add Google Drive backup support.Thank you so much for this wonderful App and thanks for making it free for all to use.

7. I have deployed it in our small school for students and staff dinning checkin.

8. For now, just 3.what a useful and very easy app for managing attendance for my employees and student.

9. Please update the app to improve scrolling and the entry of names of pupils should be added with symbols like a dash and also please disable auto capitalization.

10. It would also be nice if there was a little notification that let's you know everyone is accounted for instead of going into the attendance report.

11. It can be better if I can lock the scan mode with a password to prevent others from navigating other options.
