The software requires no downloads and works seamlessly across virtually any device—iPads, iPhones, Android tablets, Samsung devices, and desktop computers—making it truly portable. The interface was designed to be intuitive and requires no technical expertise, with quick setup and onboarding so schools can get started immediately.
