Aeries Mobile Portal Reviews

by Muhbs Jbdun

To be quiet honest, Aeries isn’t the best to use, unless it’s the only app you can use to check your district uses for grades; unfortunately I fall into this category. Aeries is either always down or always having issues. One current issue I have is not allowing to check my grades. As soon as I log into Aeries it only has one option, “password has expired change now”. When I try to do that it always says my current password is incorrect, when I just logged in using that password. Another thing I hate about Aeries is it doesn’t show your current GPA. If having any difficulties just delete and redownloading Aeries , as I currently am doing. Obviously issues will come back sooner or later after redownloading, but frankly this is the only option I have for school right now :/.

Grade predictor is unreliable. After you put in the assignment, you can’t use the slider (the value shows up as #.0, not #/#, and inputting a new value causes an error). Would be really, really nice if you could add mock assignments without naming them, but that’s not an option. And unlike the old (unofficial) Grades app, Aeries is very much not user friendly.
Up until last week, the best thing I could say for Aeries was that at least it showed me my current grades. Unfortunately, it doesn’t even do that anymore. It’s logged me out to the “Let’s find your student data” page, and when I click the “Get Started” button, it just shows me the search page for a split second before it wigs out and takes me back to the start. I can’t check my grades or calculate how well I need to do on my finals (but let’s be real- it wasn’t convenient to predict my finals even before Aeries crashed.)

Aeries feels extremely unusable because of the sheer amount of bugs and issues Aeries has. I just want to look at grades and I can’t even do that most the time because of the amount of errors I’ve gotten for opening Aeries . I have to either sign out then sign back or I have to delete Aeries and reinstall it. This is extremely excruciating and needs fixing. An app this important to students and parents alike shouldn’t be this painfully unstable.
A feature I really liked about Aeries was the ability to edit grades to see what you can do to improve them. I used to use this feature all the time, as it’s the only redeeming feature of Aeries . However that was on my iPhone 5, now I have an iPhone X and the feature is completely unusable because of the button placement. The button is underneath the battery symbol, which is how you access the iPhones control center. Because of that, the edit grades button is completely untouchable so it be greatly appreciated by many if you move the button lower so we can access it.

Please look into these and PLEASE P L E A S E fix your app. Thank you

Okay this app, nobody likes change, but you made this change pretty bad. Grades had an extremely simple design and was perfect for an on the go understanding of what your grade was.
I don’t like how my grades are categorized, and I don’t like how I have all of this information I can access, as another reviewer mentioned, I would check the website if I wanted to know what my attendance was. It’s difficult to immediately see your grade. It’s also difficult to edit; the actual programming/entering of your grade is difficult. My suggestion is to get rid of the unnecessary information and make all of the assignments under one tab, not divided into separate ones. It would be nice if the grade percentages were bigger, too.
It would have been nice for you guys to take a look at the Grades app before it was shut down to get an idea of what students like. Simple interface with direct information.

So I went on the grades app and saw what the developer said about Aries made their own app. So I go and download it and look to see how good it is. Sadly I am very disappointed in Aeries and Aries themselves. Grades was great is was simple and showed you everything you needed in a easy layout. While Aeries makes things so hard. It has so many glitches and too many problems to even explain. Aries gets on their high horse and just ruins the hard work of the developer that made Grades for their website that compared is garbage. If I could give less than a 1 star I would. Aries really needs to think about what they are doing bc the outcome of their choices are greatly disappoint. The least they can do is keep Grades on Aeries Store until they figure out the problems with their app instead removing Grades and giving us a app that is so much worse and hard to use.

Aeries is literally useless. It is more convenient to navigate to the webpage than try and navigate this piece of garbage. On top of the UI being garbage, Aeries won’t even get past the “lets get started” button, bc every time I try, it tried to open up the “select school” page but then redirects back to “let’s get started.” I was only able to use the actual app long enough to realize how garbage it was, and then it became defunct anyways!! And yes I’ve tried reinstalling and/or restarting my phone, but it’s no use. Also, why was the grades app shut down for this??? You weren’t losing money because of it, but you are, in fact, losing it with Aeries: you aren’t getting any royalty from it, you don’t run adds, there’s no in-app purchases to be thought of, and your spending time and man power to try and improve an app that was poorly conceived in the first place. WE WANT GRADES BACK!!! GET THAT IN YOUR MIND-SKULLS!!!!

by DjroudA

Honestly if you’re gonna kick the grades app off the store AT LEAST make something that’s actually better IF NOT the same. You’ve taken something beautiful and beat it into the pavement. You took a simple but useful tool and made a pile of garbage that has unnecessary information (why does this need to display my personal information such as where I live and my phone #??). I beg that you take a step back, look at what the beauty that was the grades app, and use that as a template to recreate Aeries. I don’t need to see my demographics, I don’t need to see my attendance. All I need this to do, is to provide an easy way to access my grades without having to whip out a laptop or go to this app website every time. Fix the UI to something a lot simpler and more pleasing to my eyes, get ride of the extra steps you’ve added to adjusting and adding mock grades and preferably get rid of the unnecessary information you provide. Thank you.

I use Aeries for grades on my Chromebook, but for the past 2 years it has never ONCE worked on my phone. I have restarted my phone, deleted and reinstalled, I got a new phone, I did everything possible but every time I press “get started” it brings me to the “choose your school” page then does a full one eighty and brings me back to the get started page. It honestly feels like that scene from the movie robots where Rodney wants to enter the gate to robot land or whatever and the gate conductor will open the door, then at the last second he’ll slam the door in his face. Not the best analogy but you get the point. I have been having this problem for two years now, and I’m really tired of just pressing this button hundreds of times. FIX THIS PLEASE. If I could give Aeries would get 0 stars, I would. Students and parents, don’t even bother trying to get this satan spawn app to work.

The previous Grades app was much more useful and helpful, as students could calculate the grades they needed on either tests or homework in order to pass a class. Additionally the application was much more navigable and pleasing to look at, color coding each individual subject to separate your classes into a more visually appealing user interface. This application color codes based on the grade you have which is not only stressful but it’s also unclean. Each class has no distinguishable feature so the entire application looks like something off of a computer form the early 2000s., making it harsh to look at. I would say Aeries is useful for looking at grades but it can’t even fulfill its primary function properly, as I am given an error message almost every time I open Aeries and am forced to log back in. Overall, the purpose of Aeries is to make viewing your grades on your phone easier, and it fails to accomplish this seemingly simple task.

by 05mimi

this app has been good for me but suddenly I am unable to log back in no more. It takes me to a thing called “Your password has expired” and its telling me to change it. For one, I don’t have a password since I have been using google and my school account for this. Secondly, I am unable to get out of that screen unless I delete Aeries and reinstall it where I am able to go back into my account and check my grades. After that it just repeat it self with the “Expired password”. There is also a cancel button but I can’t even use it so whats the point?
Another thing is that when I even try to fix the “expired password” , it shows a text that says “Your session has expired please try again.” Please help me by telling how to fix this or fix Aeries because I really appreciate Aeries but I don’t if I cant use it. For more information about my device is that im on a iPhone 10 so that might the problem like some other reply said.

by TheMoncheGoEhh

It’s a divine miracle from Jesus himself when Aeries opens properly the first time. If you try and open Aeries with Face ID, Aeries will crash multiple times. Same thing if you type the password. Oh, and don’t even think about attempting to open Aeries if you aren’t on a STRONG wifi signal. Otherwise you’d better have some time on your hands, because Aeries will close, close, crash, load up and then crash, and simply refuse to work if you attempt using it on data. Never before has an app so brilliantly not done one of the most simple functions an app can do.. which is actually OPENING the application! This issue has persisted since the school year began, too! Never before has checking grades been so time consuming and stressful. Hopefully Aeries gets removed from Aeries Store and school districts resort to another app, as this is a disgustingly designed, difficult to use, and for lack of a better word, stinky app.

I used to have the grades app but I had my phone stolen and when I got a new one, I noticed that the grades app was no longer on Aeries Store. I remember getting a notification from grades awhile ago saying something about how they’re shutting down and that there will be a similar app by this app that we can use instead, so I got the this app app. Unfortunately the this app app is pretty awful in comparison to grades. It’s really complicated in comparison yet has less helpful features. If I wanted to see my attendance, grades from previous semesters, etc., I would go to the this app website! I just want to easily see what grades I have without having to navigate through this confusing app. Also, probably one of the best things about grades is that it had the calculator feature which let you calculate your grades by creating mock assignments, dropping assignments, etc. Now I can’t do that and I can’t find any other app that will! this app, please listen to me, if you’re gonna get rid of grades (I’m assuming it’s your fault they shut down) at least try to offer the same features as them!!!

by JessicaRuelas04

I have had this issue for several months now in which I haven’t even been able to log in to Aeries because when I will try to, the only thing that pops up is an error message saying that I need to contact my school administrator but that makes no sense to me because the online version works perfectly well. I have other friends from school who haven’t had the same issue with it so I am not sure why I cannot log in. I even was able to get into it on my old iPhone 6 and see my grades perfectly but for some reason I haven’t been able to do the same with my new phone ( iPhone 8). I have had this issue for longer than 6 months now and although I can still log on online, it’s more of a hassle and I can’t see the red Fs that I have visually so they don’t matter that much to me anymore lolz ( I’m usually a straight A student but the online learning is definitely not helping). Anyways if y’all could help me fix that, that would be amazing. Thank y’all for listening to my little rant :)

by See-mia-aisle

Aeries needs to add the capability of calculating a grade that may show as a zero because they have not taken the test or turned in the project. So it can allow both student and parent a benchmark to shoot for. I do like that there is more data available about the missing assignments such as due date and date assigned. Don’t like that I have to sort through all the semester or trimester grades to get the current grades. I would also prefer the bolder colors as seen in grades for this app to delineate the current semester grades. Finally the ability to add in future grades and see if that effected your grade positively or negatively was available in grades for this app and should be added to this one as a tool to for both parents and students.

by RHSICHSSKCKRJVYNRJDU

I’ve been reading reviews and a lot of people are talking about Aeries grades. I used to have that app and it was very helpful. I also used this app last year when grades shut down. This this app app was really great and you could edit your assignment grades and make what if assignments to see how scores will affect your grade. This year I downloaded this app again, but now the editing part doesn’t work. Since I have an iPhone 11, the screen is more stretched out, so the edit button is right on top of the battery icon in the top right, meaning I can’t use it. Aeries still shows me my grades for all my classes, but the thing I really liked about this app and Grades was the editing part. If I wanted to know how good I had to do on my math test to keep my A, I would have been able to check that. Not anymore.

by Evananderson517

Despite the reviews it’s actually an okay app. PLEASE fix the following issues:
- I am now signing in with Google (per my school’s discretion I think) but the experience is so horrible. FaceID authentication will get in the way, I’ll get a bunch of pop up banners to allow sign in, loading the Google sign in page takes forever. And then, even if I’m able to overcome all that before I run out of patience, Aeries just doesn’t work. Period. Just gives me an error message. So I have to quit Aeries and redo the entire process another time or two times just to see my grades. This needs to be fixed immediately.
- Adding what if/mock assignments or adjusting an assignment’s score is still beyond buggy and often spits out infinity as a result. This has been going on for years and it’s impossible to know whether the mock score I’m seeing is reliable, even if I see one.

by 707error707

I don’t know what people are talking about: there IS a calculator in Aeries . After picking a class, you click the pencil on the top right corner. There, you can add new assignments and edit the ones that are already in.

One thing I don’t like is how the assignments are in different categories if the teacher put them that way. I want to see all my assignments at once, not have to click through categories to see only some of them.

Another thing I absolutely hate is how easy your information can be accessed. It should at least require the password again to view your private information, such as phone numbers, emails, etc.

by Viper 202 @ $80

To all the users of Aeries who claim there is no mock grade feature that can calculate a changed grade like the grades app did. You are wrong. You simply go into the class you want to calculate, press the pencil icon at the top of the screen, and tap on an assignment you would like to edit or tap on the “what if assignment” feature that pops up above the assignments and enter the information you wish to calculate and it will automatically calculate the “what if” change. But I also have a request for this app. Is it possible to add a feature that will alert a user when a grade has been updated? Instead of constantly checking and waiting for an update it would be far more convenient for a guaranteed notification when a grade is updated.

by Maggie K. Or MK

Aeries is a very helpful app but there are little bugs. I read through the reviews and a lot say you can’t sign in but you have to pick the right district. There are little bugs like when you look at your grade/assignment it can give you like your math ones when your looking at history (if you are not Elementary) or Aeries will shut down so you have to re-download it. It can also make grade worse then they are. They made a C (not a C+) almost red. Good parts are like you can see comments from teachers or see what is missing. You can also get all the information like student ID and phone numbers for like emergencies. Overall there are things they can fix but you get good Service through Aeries and it is very helpful for parents and kids I mean you even see your old report card so I say don’t read a lot of the bad/critical reviews because some in my opinion are kids who don’t want parents to get Aeries and just signing in problems which the could have been bad Service or they chose the wrong district which is not Aeries ’s fault so it is a good app and I think it is good to get just be ready for little glitches through Aeries .

by Wall Paper Plus

Aeries is pretty good as far as grades go but I was on it and a top part turned red in the corner? I didn’t think much of it until I press one of my classes and the what if edit mode is way way in the corner. I have an iPhone 11 and with that middle part, I wasn’t able to press the button. It was right on where you see the batteries! Also I would usually get kicked out of Aeries just to come back having it restart. It takes too long sometimes. Now I simply can not get that what if edit mode. Maybe put it somewhere else or fix it? I love the “What-if edit mode” btw

by Luvandluv4ever

I'm someone who checks their grades every so often, and it's quite frustrating that the one app I genuinely need fails to properly work. The this app website is 100% more effective than Aeries itself, but I'm in need of something where I don't need to worry about signing in/connection issues. The mobile app worked well with me, but there had been a number of times where I've been kicked out of Aeries because my "session has expired". Other times, it takes me a solid three to four times of putting in my login information because, apparently, Aeries can't read it. Sometimes, when I FINALLY log in, I immediately get kicked off because my session can't be read. From personal viewpoints, my experience with Aeries makes it difficult for me to want to use Aeries . It definitely varies for every person, but for me, it wasn't the best grading system.

by Benan_Barcelo

i’m very sad to say i’m extremely disappointed with Aeries and the way it functions. one of the main malfunctions with Aeries is the touch id feature. when i try to sign in, either password or touch id, it redirects me to a black page that says please use touch id to sign in. i try it again, and it redirects me to the same black page. yes i’ve tried turning my phone on and off again, you name it i tried it, but it still didn’t work. i am a student and grades was so much more reliable and easier than this. i honestly don’t even use Aeries anymore and would rather just go google and sign on to the website then use this piece of garbage. BRING BACK GRADES AND DELETE THIS!!! hope this review helped showed how stupid Aeries is. if anyone read this i encourage you do not waste your time by downloading Aeries.

by Lukeypukey123568

If I could rate this 0 stars I would. Usually I don’t right reviews about apps but Aeries is so terribly put together that I had to say something. I never used Aeries until grades was shut down due to “copyright” issues, while this is a shame it would’ve been fine had the this app app actually worked. For starters it is formatted terribly and very hard to work your way around. Two most of the time it doesn’t even show my grades it just says there’s nothing to show. And lastly when you log out and try to log back in it gives you some bs about how there was an error. This is not about using the wrong password or email this is about they’re service being terrible. My ending note is not to get Aeries and then go on strike to get the grades app back up.

by Terakashi

The this app app offers a wide range of options extending outside of just grades, it includes report cards, demographics, and key information about the student using it. From personal experience, as it comes directly from the source company, the this app app is more accurate in its calculation of grades (Other third-party apps are usually incorrect by a +/-0.1% margin). However, multiple aspects of Aeries are riddled with bugs and glitches that could easily be improved upon. The report cards are unable to be downloaded or previewed, and calculating future grades often results in a NaN product (The Grades app was superior in this aspect). Although it's not perfect, it could definitely be worse. And giving Aeries 1.9 stars on average is unfair to its developers (Albeit its lazy programming in some areas).

by Math_2016

A lot of people in the reviews are saying that this app doesn't have a feature that lets you create "fake" assignments, letting you see what would happen to your grade if you get a certain score on an assignment. However, clicking the subject you want to experiment with and then clicking the pencil icon at the top right corner lets you do this. However, this app could let you know more about your grades and subjects. I would like to know how many credits each subject is worth. Though this varies by school, it could still be possible to add as a feature. I would also like for Aeries to calculate my overall current GPA. I also find that, when downloading my report cards, it doesn't appear in the folder app like this app says it would.

by GenSpace

This series app is actually quite overall decent, it allows you to see your grades in an organized manner and you can even add in a “what if” assignment by tapping a pencil in the top right that allows you to see how much a certain assignment will affect your grade. Aeries has all the features I would like except a few I would like added, such as a simple way to communicate with a teacher, and a better attendance page. There are a few downsides, hence the star removed. Like, sometimes when I open Aeries to check my grades the classes don’t show but it still shows I’m logged in, and in order to fix this I have to log out and relog back in. Not a major issue but it’s a minor annoyance. Another issue is the attendance page. I wish it would give me more information about how many days enrolled, and showing every day of the school year in detail about my attendance. Overall like I said Aeries is still great and makes it simple to check my grades when I need to.
