If you would like to test out the app, but do not have a Beacon Portal account, you can use the username "taccount@beaconschool.org" and the password "P@ssword".
Note: The last release will probably be the last major release for a while as I'm going to start to focus my time on completely reprogramming the app so it's more versatile, optimized, feature-packed and usable.
You can use the Beacon Portal app to:
- Keep track of all your homework that's "due today", homework that's "due tomorrow". You can even add homework that wasn't posted to the portal!
- See what homework is due a certain day of the week
- Keep track of the homework you've finished by swiping away assignments
- Create, edit and view your schedule (create and edit your schedule by pressing the pencil)
- Add notes to specific bands on your schedule (by long pressing a band in "Schedule")
- Customize the color scheme to your liking (by going to " Options" and picking the desired colors)
- View today's and yesterday's New York Times, as well as one-click access to TeacherEase and Engrade
- Access your Beacon email
- Send emails through your Beacon account
- Receive emails sent to your Beacon Account
- View your Beacon Account emails
- Get Beacon email notifications
- Other features of the email part of the app: search, IMAP push email, multi-folder sync, flagging, filing, signatures, bcc-self, PGP, mail on SD & anything else any other email client can do!
If you have any questions, comments, or find bugs (chances are there will be some) please email: lincolnbernard7@gmail.com, or rate the app and comment on it.
Also, if anybody thinks they can come up with better icons/banners, please email me.
