Nice App

Great

Great app for recording and scripting

Amazing! The only app I've found where I can both script notes and record simultaneously during my teacher observations. Has completely changed how I do my classroom observations.

Great instructional coaching app

I've been searching for an app like this for awhile. I'm done with taking notes while watching observations. This app allows me to record what I see and script from my laptop. The notes sync up at the appropriate location in the video after I upload the video. Makes our post-observation conferences more efficient and useful. Focusing on evidence is huge. My teachers are no longer defensive when we have our conversations about their instruction.

Unreliable

I cannot stand this app. It is extremely slow to upload videos. At first I would upload videos using my MacBook and it took 4hrs to upload a 45min lesson on to Sibme. I contacted support, they advised me to use google chrome which I was using. I wouldn't use the app on my phone because it would drain my battery, but I had no other choice. When I recorded videos on my phone, Sibme would randomly stop recording. If you are an instructor reading this, please do not have your students submit their assignments through this app as it is unreliable. My classmates have also been struggling with the same issues I've been dealing with.

Was great a couple of months ago but crashes now

This app worked great for a few months but now it’s horrible! It continues to crash every time I attempt to open it in order to film. Horrible timing Sibme! And yes I checked for updates... supposedly fixed bugs a couple of days ago.

Too many issues

App was often slow and now won’t even open. I can’t seem to find any solutions to it either...

Excellent tool for reflection and coaching

Mental game over

I have been using Sibme in secondary public schools for three years and am extremely satisfied with its functionality and the support we receive from the developer. Uploading lengthy video clips can take time - not a platform issue - but we chunk our videos in 15-20 mins for speedier upload times and also to more narrowly reflect on portions of a lesson. I love the tagging options and the setting options that allow us to customize our experience. I highly recommend Sibme!
