When Daniel Brooks was a senior at Pioneer High School in the US, he came up with a Silicon Valley-style solution; he developed an iPhone app（application, 应用程序）I C Connector． When he tried out his schools new Web-based student information system earlier this year, he immediately noticed some shortcomings．He could no longer view his current grades for all his classes at once．Checking several classes required several clicks-which for a teenager is so much work．To save himself all this trouble, Brooks developed the app and sold it on the Apple app store．Now it has 2,300 users who have downloaded it across the US． It ended up on every iPhone and iPad and portable device that any student and teacher had on campus, said Scott Peterson, the campus tech support worker at Pioneer High． Brooks said he didnt create the app to get rich - it is free．A student is not going to want to pay 99 cents, Brooks said．They just want to see their grades more easily． However, in the months that followed, Brooks experienced highs and lows．His app is now so successful that users want more, in particular, his teachers have started pushing him to develop a version for them．However, the company Infinite Campus, which developed the information system, has been less positive． The company said in an e-mail that he was confusing users and violating the companys copyright by using Infinite Campus name and logo in the app’s name．Brooks father, Michael Brooks, has offered to change the name, but says he needs time to get Apples approval．Daniel also e-mailed and called Infinite Campus．They got no response． Daniel Brooks starts at a California university this autumn．Despite Infinite Campus attitude, he continues to try to improve the app and hopes to put out an Android version soo
