Take attendance
In the top right menu (three dots), tap Teacher: check-in station, pick the class and tap Turn on QR camera check-in. Fit the My QR code from the student app inside the square. Present or late is marked at once and the name shows in Just checked in.

If something does not work

The install is blocked

Open phone Settings, Apps (or Security), Install unknown apps, and allow the app that opened the file (Chrome or Files). A work or school phone may be locked by its admin.

The camera does not start

When asked, tap While using the app. If you said no before, open phone Settings, Apps, AppDogu Attendance, Permissions, and allow Camera. Close other apps that use the camera.

No fingerprint option

Phones without a registered fingerprint, or older than Android 9, can sign in with a password only. Register a fingerprint in phone Settings first, then open the app menu, Settings, Turn on fingerprint sign-in.

I keep getting signed out

For safety, fingerprint sign-in turns off when you add a new fingerprint to the phone. It also turns off when you change your password or turn the device off in My account, Account, App devices. Log in once with your password and turn it on again.

My QR code does not show (not accepted)

Tap My lessons, find the class your teacher added and tap Accept. You need to accept before you can check in. If your teacher turned off student QR, scan the station QR instead.

It says I have no classes

Tell your teacher the email you joined AppDogu with. Your class shows up after they add that email. Also check that you confirmed your email.

Permissions the app uses

Camera: Used only while scanning a QR code. Photos and video are not saved or sent.
Fingerprint (biometrics): Your fingerprint is checked only on the phone. It never goes to AppDogu. It only unlocks the sign-in key kept in the phone's secure storage.
Internet: Opens the AppDogu site and sends check-ins.

The app is not on Google Play yet. Only the file from this page is the official AppDogu app.
