Ratings and reviews

I am not sure how anyone learned drill without this app. It's that useful. It is so much better than having 40 pages of drill stapled together that you will lose immediately. It is also awesome to visualize drill moves and makes it much easier to learn drill for staff and students. We are in a new era of learning in this activity.

It's definitely a great app, but it has its flaws. My freshman year, I had to learn my dots on paper because the app said that there weren't enough spots. The same thing happened to someone in my section my sophomore year. I don't know if that's because my directors didn't account for everyone or if the app was just being glitchy. I really hope that gets fixed.

I am a freshman and it is my first year marching, this app is great. It makes it just so intuitive to set drill. I 100% recommend. ALTHOUGH, sometimes it can be laggy, but only when running the show in real time, and 90% of the time I'm looking at the individual pages. (I also just have a slow phone lol so this may not effect you.)
