### 1/5 — Glitches

*2022-01-13, version 2.15.0*

Colabra works but it’s difficult to turn videos in to other platforms. I’m not the biggest fan and I wish my

### 1/5 — Terrible

*2021-10-28, version 2.15.0*

Mr Dixon made me download it 😥

### 1/5 — Terrible uploading

*2021-01-05, version 2.14.0*

Downloaded at the suggestion of customer service, because apparently the web app doesn’t support uploading .mov files. Tried to upload through mobile, app crashed over and over. Fastest uninstall ever.

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work

*2020-12-10, version 2.11.1*

Sometimes, it just doesn’t work. It spent all day failing to upload a single clip, and wouldn’t work, no matter how many times I tried it.

### 4/5 — New User

*2020-10-20, version 2.11.1*

The customer service team is responsive and helpful, which is always great. 

My only suggestion would be that there could be a way to bookmark certain times as you film on an smartphone. It would also work if you were able to see the time listed in your video recording as you scrub through it afterwards on a phone, because I write specific times down as I play and don’t have time to immediately rewatch the whole 20 minutes to pick out the important spots. I don’t have another device to use for filming and I need to bookmark a certain number of spots each time I practice, thank you!

### 1/5 — Finicky

*2020-08-18, version 2.10.0*

Uploading anything through the app is really finicky

### 3/5 — It’s ok

*2019-12-10, version 1.14*

It’s ok because I get to see lessons but it doesn’t update very good and it isn’t working right it has lessons from previous years but none from this year. Please fix this.

### 5/5 — Outstanding!

*2016-10-27, version 1.14*

This app is amazing! Allows you to set up Lessons, Practices, Assessments and more with audio and video files and share with groups of people or just keep private! Amazing!

### 5/5 — Amazing  moreheadstate

*2016-04-12, version 1.9.8*

I have used it in my studio and it has transformed my studio.  Collabra is the way of the future. I will be incorporating it into all my classes next semester. 

The support team readily responds to your requests (sometimes even as late as 2am) and they take criticisms and enhance the program on a regular basis.

### 5/5 — Super helpful!

Teachers may now work together with team teaching: create and assign lessons, assessments, and compositions in the same course.

Teachers may now create and assign assessments with embedded attachments. With embedded attachments, students are presented a PDF document the teacher uploads before starting their assessment attempts, and can only view that document while creating the attempts. A common use case for this might be presenting sheet music to students.
