## Reviews

### "Great management software to stay on top of student info, attendance, and communication\!" — 5.0/5

> **Jerry** | *23 April 2015*
> 
> We have been using Open Black Belt for well over a year and a half now and it is nice to see the growth and constant updates to it.  Without it, it would be difficult to run a school and be as efficient as it allows us to be. Three of the most useful features for us is access to emergency contact info (should we ever need it), Student Check In (this helps us stay on top of attendance and promotion requirements), and being able to send out mass emails (so that we can keep everyone on the same page). We know there is other software out there, we have been reached out to and have gone through demonstrations with them. We just don't see a need to change what we currently have working for us.

### "More than capable of running a Dojo" — 4.0/5

> **David** | *28 March 2017* | Recommendation rating: 7.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Straight forward rationale behind it with good features and performance.
> 
> **Cons**: Poor user interface or rather it should be less techy.
> 
> I cam across this applicatiobn by chance and although it is not exactly easy to use since the user interface is a bit too techy it is more than capable of running a dojoo.&#13;&#10;Overall I think in its current version it is worth its score and with a bit more effort it could easily move to 4/5. Thank you for taking your time to build this app.

### "Customer support is lacking" — 1.0/5

> **Melinda** | *28 March 2017*
> 
> I have tried this software before but features were limited. I attempted to give it another shot. I contacted support twice trying to gain access but no response.

-----

### "Solid and Simple" — 4.0/5

> **Jackie** | *28 March 2017* | Health, Wellness & Fitness | Recommendation rating: 7.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Simple and not over-filled with too many bells and whistles.
> 
> **Cons**: At the time there was no integration with MailChimp.
> 
> If you want a simple, solid martial arts management software, Open Black Belt fits the bill.  Not overloaded with too many features you won't use.

-----

### "Super fast response and great product" — 5.0/5

> **Karra** | *27 June 2017*
> 
> **Pros**: The ability to list rank.  It was great to be able to log attendance so you can see their attendance as a promotion factor.
> 
> **Cons**: Inability to maintain belt progression.  I - received blue belt 6/1, 1st stripe was received on 7/1 etc
