Socrative Teacher App Reviews

This is fantastic. Totally easy, very exciting. Lots of possibilities. And they arent sneaking texting.

Great idea. I share it with all my educator friends.

Not sure what happened but the app opens and wont load. I deleted it and reinstalled and it still just stalls. When it was functioning, it was a very useful app. You could even add pictures to questions. Great website and printable versions of the quizzes as well.

I have used Socrative for years. The new interface is nice, but I can no longer download students quizzes. Support is difficult to reach, and help section does not address this issue. Please fix!

Frustrating that I have to enter long in info every time. Thins makes it not so valuable to me, as I can get everything I need just from going straight to Safari.

App does not work properly anymore. Takes forever to load. Activities dont start when pressing "start." Cant even use it!!

The ability to do online quizzes and show live results simply genius

How can you import answers for the short answer, so it will grade it for you? Otherwise great!

Because the app was free, I was a bit skeptical of how good it could actually be. It is wonderful! I am not tech-savvy, but this app is very user friendly. My students LOVE it, and have no trouble using it. They are 8 and 9 year olds. We have used this in literally every subject, and they cheer each time I say "Today we are going to practice/review with Socratic." High student engagement every time. Thanks for a great app that makes my job easier and more fun!

Thank you for this excellent app for the educators.

I used this app in my classroom for a review session. We did a "Teacher Paced Quiz" and it was great to be able to focus on managing the class and reviewing the material knowing that Socrative was collecting (and grading) their answers for me.

I love this app. I love the exit ticket. It allows students to respond honestly without fear of how their peers will view them for not understanding. I wish there was a back button for students to review their quizzes. Otherwise I like it.

In SocialStudies, I typically give worksheets with main ideas. Students have struggled with how to write answers to these prompts. I now use The Short Answer function and include the answer in the explanation section. Students receive immediate feedback and are allowed to log back in to resubmit a correct answer. I have seen major improvements in their work over 2 months AND I DONT HAVE TO GRADE IT. The only flaw is that, on average, 2 - 3 student answers dont come through. I dont know if the issue is with Socrative or our server. Regardless, I wish it had a print feature for absences and tech issues.

This is the app I was waiting for as a science teacher. I didnt have money to buy a Clicker system, the time to master the learning curve, nor the desire to be responsible for inventory every class. This app solves all that because students BYOD, it exports it as an Excel spreadsheet, its free, and its so simple I learned it one evening over dinner in a restaurant with free wifi.

This app is great! Students can access with a mobile device or laptop. Increases student participation.

I use and love Socrative in my classroom. I just ask that you add a built in recorder to do audio recording...this way primary grades can use this to create spelling tests and it be graded automatically. It would be a bbbiiiiggg hit with many teachers! Thanks! : )

I think this could be improved if student names could be alphabetized. I would also like to easily see the final score by collapsing/hiding the individual answers.

This is great but would it be possible in the future to have the teacher be able to use their Mac/iTunes for the teacher clicker app. It would be quicker when making polls and quizzes no the spot.

I have tried this app with my classes time and time again. Students are kicked off mind quiz, the app shuts down. Simply put its not worth the aggravation. Stick with paper and pencil or wait for a more reliable app.

This app has great potential but cant get it to even open up on my smartphones
