Hello Bloggers!
Today we will be having a look at some reviews the public has made on FreshGrade. We will be looking at 2 different sources: App store and Common Sense Education. These are softwares that have reviews of many different apps, websites, programmes, etc.
The App Store: https://apps.apple.com/ca/app/freshgrade-for-teachers/id945490163
Rating: 3.1/5 stars
Overall, the reviews are VERY good. Everybody is saying they love the software and that it is an awesome form of communication between parents, students, and teachers. The main negative feedback we are seeing is that there has recently been an update and since that update, the software is slow and tends to crash. Surprisingly, back in 2015 there was no marking available on the FreshGrade. This has changed since then!
Common Sense Education:

Rating: 3/5 stars
There were a total of 8 reviews on this site. 7 of the reviews gave 5/5, whereas 1 review gave 1 out of 5. We decided to have a look at this, as we were very curious as to why this person would give such a low rating. This person believes that FreshGrade is a tool to force parents at home to do the teaching; which is simply not the case. If teachers use FreshGrade properly, then the parents are on this software to communicate with the teacher and monitor their students progress, NOT to teach their child.
Overall, the reviews to FreshGrade are VERY good. The negative reviews are related to aspects of the software that have been fixed, or are unavoidable at times such as random lags and crashes.
Thanks for tuning in and see you next week!
