I use it in my class. Like all technology there are quirks and it takes practice to be able to scan quickly during class. I can basically grade all the iRATs while the students are working on the tRAT and have instant feedback on which questions the students struggled with the most to immediately address in a mini-lecture. You can download all the grades and itemization of what wrong answers were chosen from their website. I would recommend it to anyone looking for a cheap (free app on my iPhone), easy (I usually have my phone with me) way to do scan-trons and not only get immediate feedback during class but also full analysis of what answers were chosen.
On another note, my students were impressed I had "an app for that" to grade their MCQs.

Subject: Quick Key phone app for grading Scantron-type RAPs in class
Greetings,
My first post to this ListServe so I apologize if this has already been discussed.
I am interested to know if anyone has successfully used the free "Quick Key" phone app for grading Scantron-type readiness assessment tests in class rather than clicker devices or dragging a Scantron device into the classroom.
Checkout this brief demo to get an idea of the grading speed:
