*"Designed by an educator" does not mean the developer is an educator, but the person who initially requested the App and specified what it should include was an educator. Subsequently, many online educators who use the App have requested (and received) feature updates.

Version History Updated Store Listing 5.41 3d ago After the recent fixes for crashes, one of which involved changing a string, that string was not properly translated to supported languages. This attempts to address that. 5.40 Oct 5 After the previous update fixed a crash from a user who only had 1 column (which potentially could grow very tall), I doubled the screen space reserved for scrollable areas when doing seating chart layouts (repositioning seats). This only affects the change layout (reposition seats) screen, as all other seating charts scrollable area are based on the actual seat positions. The old setting for this was 3x the screen height and width, now it's 6x the screen height and width. This is somewhat arbitrary, feel free to reach out if this is not large enough. 5.39 Oct 3 Thanks to users who enabled analytics, I found reports of two crash sources and corrected them:
1) When Rows and/or Columns counts for seating is set to 0, adding new students could have resulted in a crash, it's possibe this crash would prevent reopening of the app if the selected class was the same, or would have resulted in a crash every time this class was selected.
2) Deleting a Student could have resulted in a crash
Separately, similar to an earlier fix for View Seating Chart, sometimes the back button wasn't showing on the manage seating chart menu and that was corrected. 5.38 Oct 3 -I just discovered and fixed where the View Seaeting Chart (only) option did not always include a functional back button - this seemed to start with IOS 27 but was a pre-existing bug. 5.37 Oct 2 -Potential Crash Fix 5.36 Sep 18 -The "Take student photos using seating chart" button was missing a background image (like the rest of menu buttons had), this has been corrected. 5.35 Sep 4 -Removal of some debugging code that may have slowed down the app
-Minor changes to menu layout 5.34 Aug 31 -Arrange Classes/Behaviors (similar screens with similar purposes) modified to 'jump less' after the first item is rearranged via drag and drop. 5.33 Aug 31 -When adding/editing a class, the 'add students' button (or editing a student, or managing seating chart) will now also save any class details (name, etc) before adding students
-Scroll position saved when arranging Classes or Behaviors. 5.32 Aug 28 -Maximum number of lines on behavior menu for showing each behavior option has been increased from 3 to 6.
-"Remove" ("-") behavior menu options now have an "x2" "x3" etc indcating the net number of times that day the behavior has been added
-On screeen multi-day behavior summary expanded to 2 Lines per entry and also now will center each entry horizontally within each cell
-Date Selectivity corrections (bug fixes) for muilti-day behavior summaries
-Correction of display area available to class selection display 5.31 Aug 21 -Fix for camera issue (taking student photos).
-Change delete student behavior so it doesn't go back to main menu after each student deleted (this was historically done for older versions of the menu structure, and was no longer necessary, it may have led to the illusion that the app was resetting each time). 5.30 Aug 17 -Language Translation Issues Corrected: Two new options were recently added to the seating chart menus, but language translations for languages other than English had not been added, and this corrects that.
-The prior message for the reset seating chart screen, advising that rows and columns are what you start with, but you could reposition seats on the seating chart menu, was put back. 5.26 Mar 17 -Important fix: App Store "privacy policy" links were updated, many were pointed to outdated or non-existent links ( depending on languages).
-The teacher who initially designed the app (not the developer) pointed out that teachers like easy access to update the seating chart, and reviews in the app store from some counties agree. So, I added to the top right menu of all seating charts (sometimes called a 'hamburger menu') two options: (1) Reassign Seats, (2) Update Seating Layout. They take you to the appropriate chart for editing from any existing seating chart.
-The distribution certificate was updated (it was expiring soon).
-A general French translation was added 5.25 Mar 10 This Update is just a store listing update (with a Screenshot addition). I do store listing updates independently of App updates; however, the App Store interface for developers requires us to submit an update when refreshing the store listing.
===Prior Update Included==
BUG FIX: Pinch-to-Zoom was not working only on the Customize Layout Seating Chart (it worked everywhere else). Pinch-to-zoom is now working on the Custom Layout Seating Chart screen.
-Also, now preserving the seat size for future (not quite ready) cross-platform (i.e., tablet vs. phone) backup data file compatibility. Right now, iPad and iPhone use different seat sizes, but remember that the original seat size will help things line up better when this code is fully ready. 5.24 Mar 5 BUG FIX: Pinch-to-Zoom was not working only on the Customize Layout Seating Chart (it worked everywhere else). Pinch-to-zoom is now working on the Custom Layout Seating Chart screen.

Right now, iPad and iPhone use different seat sizes, but remember that the original seat size will help things line up better when this code is fully ready. 5.23 Mar 3 When 5.21 was in App Review (by Apple), two 1/2-star reviews from Germany (and one from China, which graciously was 5-star anyway) came in saying they couldn't find the new 'Manage Seating Chart' location. This update puts it back in the old place, PLUS leaves it in the new place - there is now more than one way to get there. My humble apologies to the Apple Review employees for submitting two App Review requests so soon after each other, but this fix should address two low app store user reviews. 5.22 Mar 2 -Major Printing Seating Chart Bug fix: Printing seating charts was slow and was almost never working the first time. This has been fixed: First time printing works, and now it takes under 2 seconds to bring up the print preview in testing (it previously took 5-10 seconds and was not always working). The "Please Wait" message was removed.
-A reminder that Seating Chart Management has moved to the Edit Class menu; there is a larger button with a background image to make it stand out in this version. It only displays if there is at least one student.
-On the Edit Class screen, now the "Student List" header above the student list is a slightly larger font to make it stand out from the list itself. 5.20 Mar 1 -Bug fix for recently introduced "Pick Random Student" potential crash. Before this update, with the latest release, marking all students absent and then selecting "Pick Random Student" would cause the app to crash. This fixes that and adds a clear pop-up message indicating that the reason it is not showing a random student is that they are all absent. 5.19 Feb 28 -Bug fixes for Random Student Picker regarding Photo inclusion - (1) Round photos setting was not being honored for Random Student Pick Displays, and (2) now that it is cropping images for photos (as was requested) to fit better, Random Student Picker's formerly default "Large Photo" setting no longer made sense, so it was removed, now the menu at the top right just has either to include photos or not show photos. 5.18 Feb 27 -Important bug fixes surrounding: (1) Printing Seating Charts, and (2) Using a Seating Chart to select which students to take Photos of.
-For the main menu: Moved the functionality of "Add Students", "Edit Students", and "Manage Seating Charts", as well as the original "Edit Class Name/Details", all under the new "Edit Class" option. Also, the "Add Class" option now will add a class up-front, select that class, and bring you directly to the Edit Class screen. 5.17 Feb 26 -Combined the existing menu options "Add Students" and "Edit Class Name/Description" into one simpler option: "Edit Class". From Edit Class, you can edit the class name/details, see the list of students, and you can also add students or import a roster from .csv/.txt.
-When adding students, a bug caused them to be seated as they were entered one at a time, and the pop-up message was confusing. Now, it waits until you are done adding that batch of students. When returning to the main menu it will display a message that now reads: "The following student(s) were assigned previously empty seats Towards the Front of the Class, You can move them or reassign standard alphabetical seats on the Seating Chart menu:", followed by new student names - the message is there to make it clear what the next steps are. Also, when it assigns a new batch of students to empty seats automatically, it will now go through that list alphabetically - this may not result in (1) standard [fill in from the left, vs. from the front] alphabetical seats, also (2) it will only assign 'that batch of new students' alphabetically and to the first available previously empty seats. This was how it was intended to work, but when it was implemented due to a bug, it was not.
-New Onboarding Guide: Just getting started? We've added a 4-step "Getting Started" guide (available in 10+ languages) to help you set up your first class in seconds.

-Bug Fixes: Minor optimizations for faster class management.
-Also: A menu option was renamed for clarity (and translated) on the seating chart menu; the new name is "Assign Seats Alphabetically or Adjust Dimensions or Reset Seating Chart." 5.16 Feb 25 Keeping the app up to date ensures you get the latest performance improvements, bug fixes, and any new or updated features. 5.15 Feb 14 -Group options (Print, Copy, etc.) moved to top-right menu 5.14 Feb 11 -Updated app screenshots
