I love this app. I keep track of everything about my students in it. The only thing I wish they'd change, is when I edit my student information, the app creates a new invoice for the student. Then I have to go in and delete that extra invoice. I want to be able to edit my student info any time without the app generating an invoice.

D70%
by D####:

It's a shame that the developer abandoned an app with so much potential. It has a lot of great features, but forget about any kind of support for glitches (Input permanently reverts to zero upon currency change).

R70%
by R####:

Its ok. I would rate this app 5 star if I could customise the invoices with my company logo etc. Please make changes and I will gladly give it a 5 star rating.

I love your app! Works perfectly and definitely worth the $2! I wiped my phone clean and don't know how to reinstall to get my info without my own backup. Is there any way?

R70%
by R####:

Helpful in keeping track of pupils and payments. I work in schools so would really like option to set dates for terms and send invoices termly

I70%
by I####:

Tracking students, collecting data, and making good business decisions is what this app allows you to do. Would love to see it developed further.

So far I'm enjoying this app, although I've had to use it creatively as some of my come on unusual schedules. Any plans to update the reports to give totals per period or make them exportable to Excel? They seem a little to basic too be useful. Thanks for a great app!

I really like this app, but there have been times when writing notes for students that I accidentally lose them by touching outside the note area. Teaching cello I'm always picking up and putting down the tablet and juggling the cello, sometimes my thumb wanders. I also wish there was a way to either scroll or navigate within notes. For the money side it could really help if the data could be exported as a spreadsheet for tax time. This is still the best app for private studio teachers! Thank you for creating and maintaining it!

Z70%
by Z####:

Nice! An option to import students from a CSV would be great and much less tedious than inputting one at a time.

S70%
by S####:

Found this app after days of trying out different bookkeeping apps for my music studio. Most were too complicated or just had too much built into them I would never need to run my small business. They only issue I've had is I can't find a way to edit the history. As I was putting payment history in from the beginning of the year I made a mistake in the date and couldn't find a way to change it.

D70%
by D####:

I love this app! Just what I needed for my piano studio. I'd love a section for general notes for each student, instead of just per lesson.... Great app though :)

S70%
by S####:

I would like to be able to specify the location of the data base to cloud so I can use either my tablet or my phone to access and edit info without having to do a backup and restore with each use.

X70%
by X####:

Thank you for the updates. This will make life a whole lot easier! I have a few suggestions for improvements: using the camera to scan checks for payment input and allow check images for receipts would be awesome. Creating independant payment charts for each student would be nice as well, integrated into a calendar to see when the student is paid up to. These would make the app exceptional.

G70%
by G####:

Should be able to import student info from GOOGLE contacts. Also should be able to backup to a cloud service like google drive to facilitate syncing between devices like phones and tablets. This would make it far easier to set up and maintain organization in a working studio. Better integration and backup will earn this app 5 stars.

Y70%
by Y####:

I use this app for all my students and it has made tracking payments so much easier. I love the payment graphs as well as the option to reactivate students that took a break or changed their mind about quitting. The only thing I wish this app had was a calendar feature where I could see each day and who is coming to lessons and where I could show if a student has already cancelled the lesson for vacations or something. That would make this app perfect in my eyes. Overall good app.

K70%
by K####:

It would earn 5 stars if I could add more than one day of lessons per student instead of having to add a complete profile of the same student for different days. Some of my students comes 2 or 3 days a week.

K70%
by K####:

Love the app, and if a couple things could be altered in future updates, then 5 star it would be for sure! 1. Be able to change where backup folder is, so that perhaps we could save it to dropbox, or ubuntu one, Google drive, etc. For synching between phone and tablet. 2. Add teachers and colour code them. 3. Add makeup lesson features of some sort.

J70%
by J####:

What an amazing and well thought out app. I can keep track of all pupils by pieces learning and learnt as well as financial position. Can also email invoices, receipts and notes for lessons.

K70%
by K####:

If you are a music teacher, tutor or coach, check this app out. It has replaced all my spreadsheets and does exactly what I need. It would be even better if they add: * Currency changing. * Export and import to .csv or similar file, as entry of a whole student database is tedious. * Option to reuse entered pieces already entered for other students or a database of pieces entered. * Link with device contacts. * Calendar/Timeline view of future lessons. * Option to add groups. I hope the developer will consider. Thank you for this great App, I would pay more than double the price.

This is a fantastic app, but since the update it crashes immediately on launch. Help!

K70%
by K####:

This app would be perfect but I agree with everyone else needs to be a calendar and a way you can see your students time line per day. Also if the money would not be on a per lesson deal it needs to be a way to bill monthly most lessons billed on a monthly base. Thanks but I love the app and hope they fix these problems that everyone wants

Just installed and added a bunch of students. So far so good! It does seem to be a good way to file your lesson attendance and payments. I would love to see this get developed further. 1. It would be ace if you could see your lessons in a calendar format so you can look at the week or month. 2. When adding lessons it would be great if you could add multiple lessons at a time. 3. Financial forecasting. Telling me potential income for forthcoming periods.4. It crashes when rotated on nexus 7.

Just started using this for my peripatetic teaching. Great for keeping track of it all.

Love it. Just wish there was a report to see money owed and it could also link to your calendar.
