What will be in new releases

I have not found an easy way to know what new functionality will be coming up. I accept there are emails every week. Most Ts will not have time to track all of these.

What I would find useful is a list of functionality being considered in past,present and future. This could also include those that have been rejected and those that will appear. Some kind of version control that would say what has been changed and when would be good.

So for example I would like to be able to block delete up to 50 SS and also delete archived classes. In summer there are so many short term SS that they appear in multiple classes with multiple Ts. Over a few weeks the SS could have to login in to at least 10 different Classes if enough Ts begin to use EF Class. Anyhow this is a good example where I am not sure if this is being considered or rejected.

Just an update I see that on the itunes website it does provide some version info. As a Teacher I would not normally come here to download the app, as I do not have any rights to install, nor would the school want me or other teachers to do so. So just move this info onto the app itself as part of Help/Info

"What's New in Version 2.5.0**
With this release of EF Class for iPad we're introducing an all-new way for students and teachers to create accounts. Here's some of what's changed:
- You can now create your teacher account from our iPad app and don't need to go through our website; - Students can create their accounts without a class code and enter it later;"

Hi Paul,

Thank you for your feedback.

We try to communicate whenever new features are added. Any major changes and new features will be announced here under the News category, so if you click on the News icon on the homepage, you will be able to track these changes. On top of that, we're always we're always making tiny improvements and fixes to the overall experience.

Finally, we are also considering making these FAQs and other useful info available within the app itself as you mention.
