BOSS™ App

Great idea but really lacks important features such as vibration or color change at intervals and ability to email results (my phone reads it as an empty file...)

Can anyone explain how to get the reports through email. The email arrives bit the attachment is empty

It's handy and easy to use, but I have a lot of trouble with emailing the results to myself. It's pretty frustrating.

Very helpful app and simple to use!

If it consistently allowed me to email the results when I connected to the internet, I would be happier with this app.

In nearly half a year since vital feedback was provided to the developers, no steps were taken to improve this very expensive application. I strongly recommend for researchers to use other means to collect BOSS data.

I fully agree with the previous review. I'll add that there are several areas in which the paper version is still superior to this app: there needs to be an option to edit the demographic and data fields. We make mistakes but this gives us no way to correct them. There needs to be a notes section to enter any unusual elements during the observation. Lastly, there should be a slow transition between one interval and the next to allow for reaction time when a student goes off-task at second 14/15.

The observation alerts you at the momentary interval with a beep. This forces me to use headphones. I wish I could opt for vibrate. In addition, it doesn't allow you to change "setting" midway through observation. So, if tge class changes from large group to individual seat work, theres no way to note that. For $30 I wish that it was more advanced.
