Socrative Teacher App Reviews

I LOVE this app and agree that a voice recording option would be great! We use it for quick and easy responses, games, and practice tests. I tried to use this app to give a test, it is very simple and the kids loved it except you couldnt go back to any questions and they also would like to see their score at the end of the test. I know it beautifully shows up on the teacher iPad but the kids would like to see their own if the app is grading it anyway. I would love if you could add these items!! My school site would go crazy for an app like that.

Thank you for a great app so far! It has been really handy in helping me get immediate feedback from my students or give them simple quizzes. All of my students have iPads and its been really smooth with a few connectivity issues here and there but not too many that I cant get it to work. I do think there are a couple things Socrative can change to help make the process of evaluating our students even easier for each teacher (by the way I’m a high school Spanish teacher). I think the reports need to be flip flopped (student names horizontally and their answers vertically. It would make grading MUCH easier for me since I usually put at least 10 questions per quiz and they fit better top to bottom. I also think that I shouldnt have to click on manage quizzes before I can start creating a quiz. I think that button should be on the home page. Also, I think the quizzes should be able to be grouped into categories or folders or something. I teach 4 different classes and if I do 1 quiz per week (I would like to do more but I get overwhelmed) thats a TON of quizzes and they are just listed in alphabetical order... which is helpful but still overwhelming. I agree with some of the other posts that it would be AMAZING to add in a record button. I’m also wondering if it would be possible for my students to do a Socrative “quiz” as homework from home? Is it possible to give my students a permanent link so that they can take a quiz even when I’m not logged on at the same time as them? If I teach a concept in class and want to see if they got it on their homework that night, it would be helpful to be able to let them do the quiz on their own time.

Would have 5 stars if you can make it so multiple classes can be used at once. Teachers who teach two grade levels need to have different questions for different classes especially for evening open room discussions. Please add!!!!

Love the smooth interface! Socrative just keeps on rocking the educational world!

Great app to drive classroom engagement

I really like the new UI and the added functionalities in the latest update. But gosh the app is now phenomenally slow! Very frustrating.

I admit I am a novice, but I must have touched a link to the Common Core while attempting to set up a new quiz. Now I cannot get back to the main Socrative screen. I wish the app were more user friendly for teachers who are not use to using them. I have heard great things about Socrative and I really wanted to give it a try.

For the second time, Socrative has released a terrible update. The first time they released a 2nd gen app it was so bad that it was almost immediately removed from the App Store. Once again, Socrative has released a pointlessly updated app. This app is clunky and has a tendency to crash, you must re-sign in every time you open the app and there is no convenient way to get to saved quizzes without scrolling through every quiz in alphabetical order. I have created 100+ quizzes using the first gen app and am completely and utterly frustrated by the lack of utility of this latest offering.

Plus no auto-login option? Those seconds matter in a live classroom. Unfortunate because this looked promising.

If they just listen to their user/costumers theyd have a fantastic app. They have updated and fixed some issues in version 2 but it misses TWO essential features: A) the option to erase previous reports. B) the possibility to import/export the questions sets from excel.

I am a middle school teacher who used this app all the time in my 1:1 classroom. Since the update, we have been unable to successfully use this- not even once. Im so disappointed and hope Socrative will find a fix soon! Although the new appearance is nice, it must actually work! I realize sometimes the error is with the user, however I can assure you this problem is global. At my school all of the teachers have stopped using it for the same reasons. Problems: Crashes when opening in teacher and student mode; some students can enter the room and some cannot; entered a quiz then hit save only for it to crash with nothing saved.

It will make me login every time I open it. After 6 classes a day, it gets frustrating. If my ipad locks, student responses disappear.

Every time I try to add an image to a quiz the app crashes. Help please!!!!!

When I try to add an image, it quits. This worked before on my iPad. Now they say to do it on a computer and use Chrome. Huh?? That is a fix?

Every time I try to add a photo it crashes. Fix please!

Your app crashes ALL the time since the IOS update!,,,, doesnt save quizzes created, crashes in the middle of work! Please FIX IT!

The app always crashes when I attempt to add an image to a quiz.

This would be a great app if it would read the questions to students that needed the extra assistance.

The app crashes every time I try to add a photo to a quiz. Useless until this has been fixed.

Ive been using this app for about a month now and overall it is extremely useful for bell-ringers, quick assessments, and quizzes. The fact that students can get immediate feedback as to whether they answered correctly or not is wonderful. In addition, the teacher gets live feedback that allows them to see who is answering each question correctly/incorrectly. The app is fairly easy to use once you figure it out (a tutorial would be nice for new users) but lacks in a few areas. The following improvements could be made: 1) Reports will not save to Google Drive consistently from the app. (The option has been unavailable for a while now). Emailed reports work well but add unnecessary steps. 2) Availability of subscripts and superscripts need to be added to the text options for student responses (student app) and "correct answers" option (teacher app). These options are available when creating questions but are absent when inputting correct answer choices on both the teacher side and student side. This severely limits science and math teachers. 3) Option to change the "Exit Ticket" questions.
