These are the main features of iDoceo 2.0 but there is a more recent version of iDoceo available already!
Here is a quick reference of new features and its related instructions.
This update includes many new features and improvements but what you already know about the app will still work, the only slight difference you'll notice is on the seating plan, where you'll now need to tap&hold (for a really small period) before being able to move a student.
