Apple’s Numbers Software is similar to Excel in that it is not dedicated grading software, but can be used for that purpose. It has minimal functionality, but comes at a low price since it is included in iWorks. It also allows for visually appealing charts and graphs that are easy to create and understand.

Good Features:

• Minimalistic design allows for easier learning curve

• Allows for the import and export of Excel Files and other file types
• Inexpensive, packaged with iWork

Bad Features:

• Not dedicated grading software
• Static column design with no hierarchical structure
• Charts and graphs have minimal interactivity

Missing Features:

• Fully interactive charts and graphs
• Expandable columns
• Student access to grades
• Grade Estimation
