### 4/5 — Application complète mais non intuitive

*2026-08-31, version 9.0.4*

L’application est extraordinaire. Cependant, il est difficile de se l’approprier et de comprendre les fonctions. L’interface n’est pas intuitif.

### 4/5 — Good

*2026-04-10, version 9.0.4*

App is pretty good. Customer service is EXCELLENT!

### 2/5 — NOT FOR PRIMARY TEACHERS

*2026-01-30, version 9.0.4*

This is a wonderful wonderful resource - for high school or uni teachers! If I was a high school/university teacher with many different classes and students, this would be opportune. I was hoping for something more like a ‘Planbook’ app, but this is not that!

### 2/5 — Disappointing

*2026-01-01, version 9.0.4*

I was so looking forward to using an intuitive tool but found the opposite unfortunately. Setting up the two-week cycle was difficult and I wasn’t able to see my week with all planned lessons on a page. Nice and colourful and well laid out though.

### 5/5 — Thank you for the wonderful program

*2025-10-20, version 9.0.4*

I hope the program is in Arabic

### 5/5 — Seriously all in one!

*2025-10-06, version 9.0.4*

This is the hub for everything in my classroom.

### 2/5 — It WAS a great app... Not sure what happened

*2025-09-24, version 9.0.4*

I am super dissapointed. This app work great for me for the first few weeks of school. I then swicthed job's which lead to me needing to erase all data on my Idoceo and now it hasn't been the same... I am not able to sync with my other devices, it continously glitches and shows old data... I miss when it was good.

### 5/5 — Suppléance

*2025-09-10, version 9.0.4*

Parfait pour bien organiser mes remplacements et ma planification

### 5/5 — Go to app for Teachers!

*2025-09-05, version 9.0.4*

As a teacher, There are only a handful of apps I constantly have used over the years. iDoceo is one of them! Grading and seating charts are a constant in my life. And since iDoceo I no longer struggle.

### 5/5 — تطبيق أكثر من رائع

*2025-08-30, version 9.0.4*

أستخدمه من أكثر من ٨ سنوات لا أستطيع الاستغناء عنه

### 2/5 — Music Teacher, pre-K through 8

*2025-08-30, version 9.0.4*

I love the app and have used it for over 10 years now.  I had a serious problem when I got a new iPad and a new iDoceo app, and couldn’t connect my calendars or set up a new iDoceo calendar for last school year, 2024-2025.  I had purchased the iPad with personal funds in order to make my school life easier, but it sat in-used all year because the customer service at iDoceo was horrible!  I kept meaning my phone number because a simple call would have allowed us to trouble shoot, but instead, I would wait days between emails for the one single woman in CS to return my requests for help, and I sent her so many screenshots (which barely send with our school WiFi) that never amounted to any help at all.  I was so disappointed and disgusted after being a loyal user of this app for over a decade.  I spent the whole year NOT using my iPad the way I had for so long, that the classroom management piece really suffered.  Eventually, I called Apple and begged them to help me with the app set up, even though it is not their business.  Apple tech support was unfamiliar with the app, but felt my sadness and frustration of losing an entire school year of great record keeping that the CS rep at Apple actually helped me figure out the problem.  Now I am using the app again on the new iPad, now two years old.  There is simply NO excuse, iDoceo, for having such terrible CS after so many wonderful years of this amazing app.  The problem could have been fixed quickly with a great person at the helm, and with immediate follow through and a phone call.  There was no reason why it needed to go unresolved for over a year.  That was a very unfortunate year.

### 2/5 — confusion

*2025-08-15, version 9.0.4*

finding directions for how to use the app are terrible. Directions given are brief and don't explain it in any clear way.

### 5/5 — Je l’utilise depuis 10 ans

*2025-06-26*

Je l’utilise depuis 10 ans et c’est très facile de mettre en place les évaluations par compétences. Les corrections sont rapides.

### 3/5 — iDoceo Improvements

*2025-06-15, version 9.0.4*

There is so much potential in this App but you have to have the ability to figure things out yourself.  So many people ask me to help them and are amazed at what the App can do but there is no dedicated video tutorial series provided either through the App or on the Website.  I have trained many many teachers and the best way they learn tech is to be shown or video tutorials.

### 5/5 — Beste

*2025-06-05*

Ich bin echt begeistert! Ein Kauf - für mehrere Geräte, dazu noch mit Familienfreigabe! Kein Abo, aber inkl. Updates! Perfekt. Und es ist alles dabei. Die Funktionen sind sehr gut, in die Bedienung muss man sich etwas einfinden, aber es gibt Vorlagen und die Anwendung ist (fast) intuitiv. Man kann die Noten gewichten, alles ausdrucken, mit mehreren Geräten (bei gleicher ID) synchronisieren. Ich bin sehr zufrieden. Bei Teachertool fühlte ich mich gegängelt und eingeschränkt, das habe ich hier nicht. Die Daten werden auf dem Gerät gespeichert, nur für die Synchronisation wird ein Webdrive gebraucht. Top App!

### 4/5 — Awesome for Robust Attendance and Notes

*2025-06-03, version 9.0.4*

We use this primarily for taking attendance and tracking notes, reports, and other student details at our three different locations. The ability to sync across different devices is wonderful!

One of the things I would love to see supported is the ability to freeze a folder category. Similarly, it would be very helpful to filter by students present on the latest attendance date (not just those present today); I do understand that I could filter by column, but that doesn’t filter out absences.

App is great!

### 5/5 — Does just about everything

*2025-05-15, version 9.0.4*

I have been teaching for twenty years and using electronic gradebooks for most of that time.  If you just want simple and straight forward gradekeeping and attendance, it does all of that easily and intuitively.  If you have more complex needs (rubrics, complex calculations, icon based calculations, behavior tracking) it can do that with some tweaking, and then it runs just as smooth.

When I have had trouble, the developer has always been very prompt and helpful with his replies.  He updates and improves pretty frequently and has even included some of my suggestions in his updates! How is that for responsiveness!

### 1/5 — contains malware

*2026-08-21, version 9.0.4*

fraudulent scam developer

### 1/5 — Absolutely terrible

*2026-08-11, version 9.0.4*

Overpriced garbage and the developers are rude.

### 1/5 — do not

*2026-06-25, version 9.0.4*

worst bad terrible sht

### 1/5 — Janky AF

*2025-03-27, version 9.0.4*

Developer is smug and won’t fix the bugs. This app will waste your time and cause you more anxiety. Don’t give your money to these amateurs.

### 1/5 — Garbage

*2025-03-16, version 9.0.4*

Have used for three years, its just gets worse year after year.  Always Glitchy, Very iCloud dependent!  If you don’t use iCloud or have minimal space in your cloud you WILL have issues with the APP.

### 1/5 — Buggy app and no support

*2025-02-20, version 9.0.4*

This app has been fantastic for a long time. However, some bugs have crept in, especially around auto conversion. Reached out for support, and a month later after giving requested information I’ve still not heard from anyone. Awful customer service.

### 1/5 — Very Dissatified

*2024-11-05, version 9.0.4*

I purchased the app, because the reviews were great. I was shocked at the price, but assumed it would be worth it to save the hassle of juggling and lugging papers, schedules, notes and other things to all my classes. I teach at 16 class in 3 locations so this was going to be amazing.  Sad to say the Sync never worked, missing information and it always seems to shut down on its won. This was the one time that I paid for an app in since the “old day” of under a buck apps. I have to say that I will switch back to my paper books, back pack and lugging around books… Im very disappointed. Not worth the money at all.

### 1/5 — High hopes turn to disappointment

*2024-09-20, version 9.0.4*

I had high hopes for this app, but I’m so frustrated that it won’t import my xls. files for my class lists. I don’t have the time to enter almost 700 student’s information into this app.  It would be great if I could though. I have written to support and got advice that didn’t work at all. I feel like I have wasted my hard earned money.

### 1/5 — Not intuitive, newbies may struggle

*2024-09-08, version 9.0.4*

I am really struggling to get up to speed quickly. Wish there was a “set up for dummies” walk-through process

### 1/5 — Not user friendly

*2023-03-15, version 8.5.0*

This is just a spreadsheet made MUCH more complicated to use and the features do not work as they should. Students with 90s are being letter graded as an F. waste of $$$!

### 5/5 — Wie für mich gemacht

*2026-07-05*

Jahrelang habe ich mit einer erstellten Excel-Tabelle gearbeitet und gute Erfahrungen damit gemacht. Nachdem ich verschiedene Apps getestet hatte, fiel mir iDoceo in die Hände. Schnell stellte ich fest, dass meine selbst erstellte Tabelle durch iDoceo abgebildet und sogar erweitert werden konnte. Mittlerweile arbeite ich ausschließlich mit dieser App und dokumentiere Leistungsstände der Schülerinnen und Schüler, dokumentiere Plakate, Referate und praktische Ergebnisse im Fach Technik. Im Fach Deutsch pflege ich Bewertungsbögen der KAs ein und im Fach Biologie dokumentiere ich Experimente. Durch die Synchronisation von Handy, iPad und MacBook habe ich immer alle Ergebnisse zur Hand und kann jederzeit den Schülerinnen und Schülern sowie den Eltern aktuelle Leistungsstände mitteilen. Diese App ist genau das, was ich brauchte!

### 5/5 — Great Planner

*2026-06-13, version 9.0.4*

I have used this planner for many years and have never regretted having it.  IDoceo is a great planner very customizable and flexible. I would recommend this to anyone looking for a way to stay organized in planning and record keeping.

### 5/5 — Outstanding for Music teachers

*2026-05-28, version 9.0.4*

I really could be a sales person for this application b/c after 35 years of teaching elementary music (700 students a week) it has given me the ability to truly document my student progress and get to know them (ie: notes and pictures). I have seating charts as well as seating plans for center work.  LOVE THIS APP

### 5/5 — Muito Bom

*2026-05-20*

Sou professor. Comprei os aplicativos . Sou agradecido pela criação. Só preocupado por não ter surgido no último ano alguma atualização.

### 5/5 — Parfait pour les enseignants

*2026-04-15, version 9.0.4*

Cette application est tout simplement génial

### 5/5 — Easy Setup

*2026-03-05, version 9.0.4*

If you are computer literate, the setup of grade books isn’t too difficult and is quick and easy. Within half a day, I had set up several classes of information and set up pending assignments. The ease of see all the grades in an organized way has put the burden of grading away!

### 5/5 — Game changer

*2026-02-20, version 9.0.4*

Awesome app to switch to digital planning and marking!

### 5/5 — Next level up

*2026-01-15, version 9.0.4*

Took a day to get my head around the platform, BUT WORTHWHILE.  No pain no gain! NEXT LEVEL UP teacher data support to make informed decisions, assessments, classroom management. I REALLY REALLY loved the effective data transfer from one platform to another such as importing rubrics, class lists and many more. Loved the emoji links, and other classroom collaborative learning tools integrated Apps. It will require your time to enter your classroom data (however just need to import your files I.e word rubric, cvs class lists etc). Short term pain for long term gain.

### 5/5 — Indispensable

*2026-01-13*

Cela fait des années que j'utilise Idoceo pour la gestion de mes cours d'EPS : appel, cahier de textes, évaluations. Cela prend un peu de temps de pousser les possibilités pour utiliser efficacement l'application mais ça vaut vraiment le coup !

J'aimerais simplement plus d'options de mise en forme du texte dans l'agenda, comme les quelques couleur de texte qui ne sont pas accessibles sur mobile.

### 5/5 — Excelente!!!!!

*2026-01-06, version 9.0.4*

Me encanta todo lo del app. Colores , todo lo que deja hacer bien completo. Un dinero bien invertido. Lo recomiento 200%
