Ratings and reviews

capturing script uploads is a nightmare! If the only place you're able to do your exam is a complex and you can't control people's voices outside, it puts you at a huge disadvantage. Perhaps voice authentication or distance of voices should be considered. it's ridiculous. Helpdesk not forthcoming in explaining this situation.

I have been using this app in three exams. In the last exam all of a sudden, after logging in to the app to scan the exam QR to start writing, I found myself in the "calibration" mode. I tried to go through the steps but on the last step for loading documents, after the app recognised the document just nothing happened. I also tried the round circle at the bottom (camera button) but nothing. I couldn't get out of the calibration. I continued writing without the invitation. Support was useless.

This app is horrible!!! I wrote 2 exams whereby I couldn't scan my script at the end of my exam. The app won't scan it just loads the whole time even though my camera is clear. I took the prompts during the exam but couldn't upload my script and the support is terrible. Not sure if this problem persists with Xiaomi Redmi phone only but they should at least look into being able to upload the script after experiencing the issue or once the timer has run out. They can't even do that.
