Amazing! Absolutely amazing!
I am a student who has been working on seesaw for the past half year. It is an excellent way for us to post our work as well as receiving it. I have had no problems at all, apart from trying to funguses out how to print the work, but I eventually found out. I would definitely 5 stars recommend this to teachers, students, and everyone in the world!Show less#positivegirl
Seesaw in lockdowns
In lockdown instead of kids playing games and stuff the teacher puts stuff out on Seesaw for kids to do other creative stuff and still learn while in lockdown so that they don’t forget everything they’ve learntdyifsertyyuhhvdafklnncs
Great!
It’s great but it’s better on a computer though but that’s really fine though people say that there is no WAY to crop but there IS a WAY how to crop you just click on a photo and on it then you move it to the side and when it has the green plus you let go of it then try to find the photo then you just click anywhere and make it how you want it to crop and when there is a blue square (it can be any shape) then on your keyboard you click control v then go to seesaw then to your assignment then when your there you just click control c then it’s there! There is SO many ways to do things on seesaw and I have no idea why they just don’t wanna figure out how! So this is definitely a five star app.Show lessatumn kitten
Better Apple Pencil/Stylus support badly needed
App is slowly getting better and better. We started out rough with lots of lost school work. Trying to finish school work within the app with our second grader was an exercise in patience. That seems to be largely fixed but it seems like the app bogs down depending on how many drawing objects there are on a page and objects in general.
We finally bought an Apple Pencil to make it easier to do work in the app but there are still problems:
1) Palm is constantly triggering the tools on the bottom and right side of the app. Palm also triggers markings. This was the case even without the pencil.
2) Writing sometimes is not fluid, skips, or doesn’t register or is DELAYED. Almost seems like the app is freezing or bogged down. (We have the latest iPad and pencil).
We know it is not an issue with the pencil and IS an issue with the app because when we use the stylus with other writing apps it is like a whole other world in terms of usability and performance.
PLEASE work on making this a better experience and changing the interface design to be more user friendly!Show lessS&J
Infuriating app and totally useless
Having used Seesaw since the start of lockdown, I am still frustrated by the fact that nothing is intuitive. I try to use pinch to zoom and draw lines on the content. Once you zoom in, in stead of being able to just use multitouch you have to use the little navigation box at the top. In order to write something, I always need to create a text box and make it fit and it is absolutely useless on a phone as you cannot see a thing and once zoomed in, the only way you can navigate is using the tiny box at the top. You cannot change orientation in order to make things more legible. Teachers complain that scanned documents and picture cannot be read. There seems to be no interest to improve the app as there has not been a single change or update for the last 9 months. Finally, why does it not save drafts? My son has a few times lost all of his work, just because he accidentally clicked on the back key. You don’t even get a message to say “do you really want to delete what you have worked on for an hour?” But it is just gone. I seriously hate this app.Show lessNmekenkamp
Amazing!😀
I really like this app. My whole school have been using it since lockdown and I’ve found it amazing. We use it for homework, school work and fun. I really recommend it for those who need an online communication system or to see how pupils are getting on with work. You can also use it like other apps cause you can take pictures, videos or recordings. Seesaw is like the whole AppStore put in one! Make sure you download it and have some fun.Show lessHermione🐈Jean🐈Granger
Exactly as it says
I love the app because I have Missed 3 weeks of school but I’m up to date on the work because of seesaw I love how the teacher can approve or not approve your work so say if you swore on it by accident the teacher could not approve it (not saying I did that ) and say if you did excellent work your teacher could approve and comment on it and you could comment as wellShow less🦄🦄😭😭

Best Educational App Bar None
I am an experienced teacher, and I’ve been using Seesaw for years. It’s always been wonderful. It is the most helpful technological tool I’ve ever used by FAR! It’s always been fantastic, but they are always making improvements, and they respect teacher input. Since the pandemic, they have been incredible-dealing with an influx of new users and going above and beyond to meet ever increasing needs. I never want to stop using Seesaw. It’s excellent for virtual teaching and face to face teaching. It’s got outstanding tools and features for teachers, AND it’s user friendly for teachers and students. I use it with Kindergarten students, and they get the hang of it so quickly. They love it. It’s engaging and fun, but it truly enhances and improves their learning. The people at Seesaw truly want to do the best that they can for teachers and students. It is by far the best technology I’ve ever used in the classroom.Show lessNot Picasso
Option request
Dear developers, as a teacher engaging in distance-learning I am regularly teaching parents and students how to use your app. It would be a wonderful feature if I could toggle between the student view and the parent view in order to seamlessly demonstrate where to go in the app and how to use the app. My families struggle to learn the basic features of the program but in order for them to support their students and communicate effectively with a variety of school professionals there are more advanced app use skills that I need to teach them. Same with the students. They need frequent re-teaching on how to use the features to complete assignments. They are learning environments are very busy homes with many distractions I need to be able to show them exactly what they are going to see. Some students with disabilities need further re-teaching. I would so appreciate your consideration of this request.Show lessInspiredjenn
