Review summary

Users report multiple issues with the COT Classroom Observation app including frequent crashes, persistent update prompts, and loss of offline data, especially in areas with poor internet connectivity. The app lacks proper handling of photo uploads due to file size limits, and forcing updates disrupts submissions. Permission and compatibility problems on newer Android versions prevent smooth operation. These problems significantly affect usability, causing frustration and incomplete classroom observations.

Pros

Cons

App frequently crashes or stops working during observation submission.
Offline saved data often gets lost or is not submitted, especially after app updates or when internet connectivity is restored.
App persistently prompts for updates and after updating, the update prompt reappears, making the app unusable.
Photo upload size limit (2MB) causes issues as photos cannot be uploaded, and there is no automatic photo size reduction feature.
Permission and compatibility issues appear on newer Android versions (e.g., Android 13), hindering app functionality.

2023-10-01	Da*****	You cannot move past the start screen without giving full permission to every thing and it thinks you haven't given full permission even when you have. So you basically can't use the app.

2023-09-27	Sh*****	No support for android 13. It should ask for files and media permission but it doesn't ask for that permission and we can't also allow this permission manually from Settings in Android 13 so app becomes stuck without files permissions.

2020-10-12	za*****	It's being off and on during submission of observation... Needs more improvement and for 11 point of observation there is not option for Not Applicable. Developer should also keep in mind that sometime pending observation get wasted when new update appears. So kindly remove this error too. Our activities not submitted due to this error.

2020-10-08	Ra*****	Offline saved activities are lost when new update is there. Time and again updates create a lot of problems and saved data is lost saved offline from schools of remote rural areas where internet coverage is not available. Moreover now recently after updating for new version, unable to submit recent activities as it show notification of network issue.

2020-02-24	A *****	Very very bad as I have to install it number of times to complete one month observation, when there is a low connectivity, it gets hang and show network error and have to reinstall again which results loss of completed observation and again visit the classroom to complete the target. It should work more effectively and if having some unsent items, should be save to submit
