I do not recommend this product until Edline begins to support it. I wish they would sell it back to the original owners. This was a great product, but Edline is all but killing it. I saw below that a user learned from their support that there is a new version that ads support for Lion, but that is all it does. It used to be when Orbis owned this that they constantly made updates. Edline doesn't even appear to update this site regularly. When a user had to make a comment to let us know that a major Mac OS relase like Lion is supported... well that says something. These are the reasons i would not recommend this product... when Orbis had it I wold have given it a 5 which is something I rarely do.

Positive rankings aside - this is a dead duck. Edline is only interested in selling the web-based solution to schools and districts - single user sales are doomed. They dropped any support. I doubt there will be future upgrades. A real pity. Meanwhile - this is STILL the best stand-alone app for teachers - but it seems the whole concept is disappearing. Sad when goot apps get bought out by companies that don't care....

There's not much interest from the developer in advancing new features or continuing development. Customer service was responsive, but not at all interested in hearing suggestions for improvement (like automatically deducting points for poor attendance, or calculating attendance as part of the overall weighted grades). The fact that there's not even an Intel binary tells me a lot. This looks great, but without any interest from their end, I've got no confidence in it.

Easy grade Pro is the best. My co workers and I have used it for progress reports for parents and administrators. Attendance was easy to take. It kept track of homework, classwork. Everything you need to do with out all the brain work or averaging the grade for the final report cards. It works for parents because it proves to the parents what the student has done or not done (no more excuses or missing homework). You can even email the progress reports to the parents whenever they need to see it! It was great! It was even fun for the students because they always wanted to know who was the top student in the class and why.
Every teacher and school should have this program. It relieves the heads of gradebooks and written progress reports or having to explain to parents why a students passed or didn't passed. It's obivious.

As teachers are required to track and record ever more data on students from Pre-K on up, this is some rather useful software. It helps instructors document and keep tabs on attendance, assignments, homework, besides the ever-increasing standardized tests being touted as so essential by useless educational administrators/bureaucrats. Analyzing data compiled by hardworking teachers of over tested students gives those overpaid goldbricks something to do whilst not squeezing blackheads on their backsides.
