You have to log on to your school's online system tocheck your grades, but you find the system is kind of inconvenient．What do you do?

When Daniel Brooks was a senior at Pioneer High Schoolin the US, he came up with a Silicon Valley-style solution; he developed aniPhone app（application, 应用程序）IC Connector．

When he tried out his school's new Web-based studentinformation system earlier this year, he immediately noticed some shortcomings．He could no longer view his current grades for all hisclasses at once．Checking several classes required severalclicks-which for a teenager is so much work．To savehimself all this trouble, Brooks developed the app and sold it on the Apple appstore．Now it has 2,300 users who have downloadedit across the US．

"It ended up on every iPhone and iPad andportable device that any student and teacher had on campus," said ScottPeterson, the campus tech support worker at Pioneer High．

Brooks said he didn't create the app to get rich - itis free．"A student is not going to want to pay99 cents," Brooks said．"They just want tosee their grades more easily．"

However, in the months that followed, Brooksexperienced highs and lows．His app is now sosuccessful that users want more, in particular, his teachers have startedpushing him to develop a version for them．However, thecompany Infinite Campus, which developed the information system, has been lesspositive．

The company said in an e-mail that he was confusingusers and violating the company's copyright by using Infinite Campus' name andlogo in the app’s name．Brooks' father, Michael Brooks, has offeredto change the name, but says he needs time to get Apple's approval．Daniel also e-mailed and called Infinite Campus．They got no response．

Daniel Brooks starts at a California university thisautumn．Despite Infinite Campus' attitude, hecontinues to try to improve the app and hopes to put out an Android versionsoon．
