Does MicroCoach grade or score my teaching?

Yes — that's the point. AI feedback assigns Developing, Competent, or Proficient per rubric criterion, with specific evidence from your rehearsal. This mirrors the framework used in ACLP/WSQ micro-teaching assessments.

Where is my data stored?

Everything — plans, recordings, transcripts, and reflections — is stored on your iPhone only. The one exception is AI feedback: when you request it and consent, your transcript text is sent to Google's Gemini API for processing. Your audio and video never leave your device.

Why isn't AI feedback working?

AI feedback needs a rehearsal recording with audible speech and an internet connection, and you must grant consent the first time you use it. Transcription runs on-device; only the transcript text is then sent to Google for feedback. If no speech is detected in the recording, feedback can't be generated.

How do I back up my data?

Go to Settings › Backup & Restore. Export a backup file and save it to Files, iCloud Drive, or share it to another app.

How do I share a session plan with a colleague?

Open the plan, tap the toolbar menu, and choose "Share plan file…". Your colleague can open the file in their copy of MicroCoach.

What does "Peer feedback" do?

It presents a simplified screen your classmate can use to leave timestamped observations on your rehearsal. When they tap "Done — hand back", the screen locks behind Face ID or your passcode (if app lock is enabled).

How do I delete my data?

MicroCoach has no account. All data is local. Delete the app to remove everything, or delete individual rehearsals and plans from within the app.
