2 simple early years

[ozzy10]

I have been using the free app for three months and love it. Use it for all my observations. The drop down development matters selection is fab. No more page turning!!

[maryp0ppins]

OMG just down loaded this after seeing this post............. How simple it will now be :) god I love this site xx

[skatie]

Hyperventilating with excitement eeek! Have downloaded it just waiting to test it out. Thanks!

[tinkerbelle]

[mama2three]

iv just googled it and it say £99 for the year is that right ??

if you click on that box it says £24 odd for cms - but thats on the website. Arent findinga a free app.

[Kerry84]

no its free if you download it on your iphone, ipad, google, windows 8 or android probably has it too, just type in search '2 simple early years' xx

[alex1604]

I searched it on my iPhone and it came up - it's free but not sure what to do without a phone that takes apps x

[tinkerbelle]

apparently its free for 30 days then its either £99 or £299 for the licence

[tinkerbelle]

just seen it ill try it later on my blackberry playbook thanks

[mama2three]

doesnt come up when i search apps on my nokia windows phone ..will try the playbook later.

[maryp0ppins]

I've downloaded it used it a few times trying to g to grips with it, now it's saying my logs are full and to go onto some website.... Does his usually happen?!?

[jadavi]

Sadly it doesnt work on blackberry playbook....
I use it in my iPhone.
You can have five free reports, email them to yourself then delete. I have used the free one for months now.
Actually I am considering paying the £33 or whatever it is as I feel guilty as it is so good.

[jadavi]

You have to keep clearing the logs. Do it through the dates

[jadavi]

The help line guy is really good and answers immediately.

[maryp0ppins]

AAAAH I see, thanks ladies :)

[Starfish007]

Ive been using this app for about 4 months now, I send it daily to parents and print out any relevant obs for LJ, its fab. Does anyone know what extras you get if you pay the monthly fee?

[Emmalou77]

This app is fab, im not happy when in the back of my mind there is a log of work building up. This way i can do it as i go along and know ive only got printing to do. Yeah! Thank you, cant wait to use it :-)

[Emmalou77]

Hi Starfish, have you had to pay anything for using this app all that time? x

[jadavi]

Nothing to pay as long as you don't exceed five reports

[lizdew123]

Going to download now. Bank holiday & I'm doing paperwork again!!

[Emmalou77]

what is the monthly fee if we exceed 5 reports?

[jadavi]

It's about £40 a year. You can delete reports after you e emailed them to yourself. I still haven't bought the full version / don't really need to. .

The single brilliant feature about this is the drop down menu of dev matters to link with your evidence. Acc to my RAG lady, Ofsted require to see ages with eyfs links now and this is done for you.

[Emmalou77]

i have already done a dummy report and emailed it to myself to see how it looks. what a waste. i guess i could enter observations for a year before emailing a report! thanks for the info its a really good price :-)

[jadavi]

What do you mean what a waste? You mean it didn't work? Was no good?
You can endlessly keep 5 reports going.
As long as you don't exceed 5 you can use it.
I do one and email it then delete it and start from scratch for the next one , I don't store any. I have them all on my email - probably 50 by now.

[CLL]

This app looks great. My concern with not buying it is that everyone is logged on with the same eyfs user name and password and you can not change it. Does this then mean the developers have control over your account? I will go onto their website and check it out.

[Emmalou77]

Im thinking you can only do five and then email them then after that any more you pay for but from what your saying, if i understand you right, you can have five running at any one time without charges.

[jadavi]

Yes you can do as many as you like as long as you delete them after and don't have more than 5 on the go at one time,

[Emmalou77]

thats grear news thank you :-)

[jadavi]

If you pay the yearly fee you can see it all on line and look at and keep the reports etc. As I stick them all in my lJs I dont need to do that.

[2kidsunder5]

I've been using it for a while now and have paid the annual fee, think it was £30. I constantly use it and you can change the fields to suit yourself. I think it is well worth the money.

[Daisy1956]

After see threads on here about this, I looked on line but couldn't find the app. So thank-you I now know where to get it, I am looking forward to downloading it and 'having a go'. Thanks again.

[Emmalou77]

I am so frustrated with the two simple early years app. Can anyone help please? i have taken five photos of experiences and emailed them to my pc, once ive printed them i delete them off the app so i can hoprfully start again with five new photos but its telling me i have reached my limit. What am i doing wrong?

[jadavi]

Go to the date section and have start date months ago then all the old ones will appear that haven't been deleted but were not showing.

[loocyloo]

Having had major problems with it on my old phone I have just installed it on my new one ... I've tried it out & feels useful! Might not use it lots but good to have there.

This app doesn't work with my phone but a cm friend who has struggled for years to find an easy way to observe and record loves it and recommends it.

[Emmalou77]

Yes I think this app is fab too, such a time saver :-)

[Petshrinklj]

I've tried searching on App Store and can't seem to find it. :confused:

[Emmalou77]

forget app store just Google it and its there :-)

[Petshrinklj]

Thank you for tip found it I think is it foundation stage record keeping?
Thanks

[Emmalou77]

no its 2 simple early years you need to search for.

[Petshrinklj]

I searched for that and this came up. On the App Store it had an icon that said 2 simple early years. But title was foundation stage record keeping lol. I always make simple things tricky lol. Will have another look. Thanks for help

[Emmalou77]

yes you have found the one. I have just googled the one your referring to. :-)

[kp0781]

Hi I have just downloaded this today and had a little play! Looks good! I emailed a report I made up and it showed all learners. If you switch to choose learner will it send a report off just ins child? I don't like the idea of having more than kind child in a report. Also would you print it to keep in their journal or keep electronically? If electronic would you email it to parents? Just trying to get an idea of how best to use. I like the idea of the quickness of it and I think it would be easy to keep on top of. I like easy!!

[Emmalou77]

I have my pics under my class rather than learners and do print off to put in learning journey but its all new to me too at the moment. Best thing to do is just do what you feel is best for you and parents, you will probably change it the more you learn. Good luck :-)

[Petshrinklj]

yes you have found the one. I have just googled the one your referring to. :-)

Great thank you for your help :)
