Akada is excited to release our first studio-facing mobile app, Akada Express. Akada Express will save your dance studio both time and money. No attendance sheets or purchasing expensive tablets — your teachers will be able to download the app right to their phones and enter attendance in the classroom.
Akada Express will initially be limited to taking attendance, but we will continue to add more features as we learn what functions studios need.
