In terms of simplicity, Edline was so much better. As a middle school student, when I was first introduced to edline, it instantaneously fell into place. I used the third party Edline Helper app as my primary grade checker on my phone and iPad. Now, myMcps, isn't so easy to get used to. First off, when I want to check my grades, am instantly reminded of my gross yearbook picture I took that looked horrible. As a typical female, aesthetics are very important to me. But my Vaseline face is just so darn distracting. But the app in general is okay, but edline helper was straight to the point. But on so many other aspects, this app was much better than Edline's. first off, I love how in one app, I can get access to a wide variety of things, from the weekly school newsletter, to the lunch schedule. Also, I can access google classroom, which is always great for those select classes that the teacher loves the Google ecosystem. For others, it may seem distracting, but I am quite fond of it. Moving a little away from the app, I have to say, the URL for mymcps for grade checking is kind of hard to memorize. I now have to keep it as a bookmark. For edline, the URL was pretty easy to type.
