What Users Love About the App

“The cost is very good. Sycamore has allowed us to not break our budget. The app for attendance works really well. The gradebook is fine. It’s comparable to most other gradebooks I have used, and so it works well for us.”

“There is flexibility with how teacher set up their grade books with categories, points, and weights. Excellent customer service and affordability.”

“Sycamore is pretty intuitive to use, with little training needed to get things done. We house student and staff data, create report cards, send emails to classes, and even allow families to connect with each other.”

“Flexibility and response to issues that have presented themselves. The reps are flexible and are willing to work through the problem to resolution. The product is solid and designed in an intuitive way.”

“Sycamore is very interactive! It is easy to use and incorporate in everyday life! From communication with parents, to checking grades, and counting discipline notices, sycamore is great!”

What Users Dislike About the App

“One of my biggest concerns is limitations with transcript and report card format. We need more flexibility in particular with transcripts (not enough space, need to list more classes than box provides, need an easier way to move 8th grade classes up to 9th).”

“Overall, it is simply not as user friendly as many programs that educators interact with. The font is small, and it’s not always intuitive. The steps are not always intuitive. It is the only program I know that continues to use pop-up boxes.”

“Some functions seem a little ‘clunky’ or cumbersome (hard to sync with gmail, for example). wish there were tutorial videos for parents.”

“I wish texting was a usable feature. The built in one is ridiculous. Even the reps I spoke with said to purchase School Messenger to text.”

“Sycamore is very robust. Meaning, they have so many features. Because of that, there is a large learning curve that must take place for users to understand Sycamore.”
