AttenQR
AttenQR is an attendance system for teachers, professors, and students that uses QR codes for course enrollment and daily check-ins.
What AttenQR is
AttenQR is an attendance system for teachers, professors, and students that uses QR codes for course enrollment and daily check-ins. Students scan a daily attendance code, and teachers see check-ins appear in real time. A separate permanent enrollment code lets students join a course, and teachers can share courses with other teacher accounts to manage students and attendance together. Attendance records can be exported to CSV. The service is available on Android, iOS, and the web, and supports English, Spanish, Korean, Chinese, and Japanese. Its free plan is free. A one-time payment of 9.99 USD removes ads permanently; that premium status is tied to the user account and cannot be transferred. The app displays Google AdMob ads, and the maker says attendance may not be recorded if a student closes the post-scan ad before it finishes. Course and attendance data is stored in US Firebase Cloud Firestore with encryption in transit and at rest and access controls. Data is automatically deleted 30 days after a course ends, so teachers can export records beforehand. Attendance QR tokens rotate daily.

The full review of AttenQR
AttenQR is a classroom attendance app built around QR-code check-ins and course enrollment. It is a strong fit for teachers who want to coordinate attendance with colleagues and export records, provided they can work around ads and the short retention window.
Overview
Students scan a daily QR code to check in, with attendance appearing for teachers in real time. A separate permanent code lets students enroll in a course, and teachers can share course management with other teacher accounts. That focused classroom workflow is useful for co-taught courses, but it is not a substitute for broader school administration software.
Key features
- QR attendance: Daily scans give students a direct check-in method, and teachers can see the results as they arrive. Capture is mixed, however: the maker warns that attendance may not be recorded if a student closes the post-scan ad before it finishes. Classes that need a dependable, uninterrupted check-in should weigh that risk carefully.
- Enrollment and shared courses: A permanent enrollment QR code gives students a simple way to join a course. Sharing courses lets multiple teacher accounts manage students and attendance together, a practical advantage for co-taught classes.
- CSV exports and retention: Teachers can export attendance records to CSV, which is important because course and attendance data is automatically deleted 30 days after a course ends. Teachers who need a lasting archive must export it before that deadline.
- Security and language support: Data is stored in US Firebase Cloud Firestore with encryption in transit and at rest and access controls; attendance QR tokens rotate daily. The app supports English, Spanish, Korean, Chinese, and Japanese. These safeguards and language options broaden its classroom fit, though they do not remove the need to manage exports and deletion dates.
- Ads and support: AttenQR uses Google AdMob, and the post-scan ad can interfere with recording attendance. The maker lists [email protected] and asks users to allow 3–5 business days for a response.
Pricing
AttenQR is freemium. The Free plan costs nothing and lets users create an account for free. There is no free trial, so the free plan is the way to try the service; its trade-off is ad-supported check-ins and the associated risk that attendance may not record if a student closes an ad too soon.
Remove Ads Forever costs $9.99, paid once, billed as a one-time payment. It removes all ads permanently, addressing the clearest check-in concern, but premium status is tied to the user account and is non-transferable. The plan does not change the 30-day data deletion window, so CSV exports remain necessary for records teachers need to keep.
Platforms
AttenQR is available on Android, iOS, and the web. That combination accommodates mobile scanning as well as browser access, but does not include desktop operating systems as separate listed platforms.
Who it's for
AttenQR suits teachers, professors, and students using QR attendance in classes, especially courses with multiple teachers who need shared student and attendance management. It is less suitable for organizations that require uninterrupted check-ins, long-term in-app records, or a broader administrative system.
Pros and cons
- Pro: Daily check-ins appear in real time, giving teachers a prompt view of attendance.
- Pro: Permanent enrollment codes and shared courses support student onboarding and co-teaching in the same workflow.
- Pro: CSV export gives teachers a way to retain records beyond the automatic deletion window.
- Con: A student closing the post-scan ad before it finishes may prevent attendance from being recorded.
- Con: Course and attendance data disappears 30 days after a course ends, making timely exports essential.
- Con: Support asks users to allow 3–5 business days for a response, which may be slow for urgent classroom issues.
Alternatives
Student Attendance Software is the category directory for comparing attendance tools. Consider QRaten if cross-platform coverage matters: it supports Android, iOS, Linux, macOS, web, and Windows, and has a free plan and free trial. UnivTrack is a free option for academic scheduling, with unlimited academic terms and up to five morning and five afternoon course slots per weekday. Bulsee offers a free starting plan with no price or usage limits stated. iAttended is another choice with a free App Store plan and Android, iOS, and web support. QRoll may suit users who can work within its limited, approved-user-only access. Rollcallz is positioned for organizations with 500+ users and uses custom enterprise pricing. AttendUni is a web-only option whose free tier covers one classroom and up to 30 students, with full QR verification and a real-time dashboard. SchoolPass Visitor Management is another paid option for Android, iOS, and web.
Verdict
Choose AttenQR if your class benefits from QR enrollment, real-time attendance, and shared management between teachers, and you are willing to export records before deletion. Its low-cost ad removal addresses a meaningful weakness, but classes that cannot tolerate scan interruptions or need longer in-app retention should look elsewhere.
