What Users Love About the App
“I can’t do my work effectively or efficiently without iDoceo! I have been use this app for years now and it drastically changed my music classes and the ways I can document progress. The fact that I can set up 30+ classes, place them on a custom schedule automatically in the calendar and document individual student progress is worth pure gold to me!”
“FANTASTIC APP! This is the iPad app I have been waiting for! I am a middle school band director and this is the first gradebook app I have found that meets ALL my needs.”
“I’m a college professor and this app meets my needs and then some. I use the “diary” aspect to jot down concepts and key ideas I want to explore in each class and the grade book and attendance for quick daily writings and attendance. I love how I can integrate images and handouts by placing them in either the pin board or summary, which allows me to smoothly go from one screen to another as I lecture or facilitate workshops and group work.”
“iDoceo is amazing! I searched for so many different teacher planner apps….none of them can even hold a candle to this one. I read all the reviews, visited the website, but kept wondering (being the fragile teacher that I am), should I really spend the money? Then, one of the reviews I read said “just buy it!” So, I broke down and bought it.”
“Beautiful app!! As an elementary music teacher at a school with 1000 students, I can keep track of everyone with a couple taps on the iPad. My partner teacher and I started using it last spring because we were desperate for something that would allow 44 students per class, multiple graded and non-graded columns and all kinds of other options. We can grade, keep track of turns in games or instruments and keep seating charts for different activities.”
What Users Dislike About the App
“This is a robust app with many features, but a very steep learning curve. After spending an entire day with the manual and tutorials, I couldn’t even get the app to compute weighted grades for a class with only six college students.”
“it is not intuitive to use. Seating chart is not easily organized and I do not appreciate being spammed to rate something I paid for. If I am spammed for a rating then it will not be flattering.”
“Not intuitive at all. Editing is a mystery. I have wasted a lot of time wading through the Manual and still don’t have many questions answered.”
“Not sure how it works. I don’t find this app user friendly. I know it could be a great app, so far I have not been able to use it.”
“This app says it synchronizes between iPad and Mac computer but it doesn’t I created my classes on my Mac but can’t see them on my iPad. I plan to return it and get my money back on the basis of its not doing what it claims.”
