Can’t Log In
I can log into Socrative as a teacher via the Web but when I try to use the app it says my email or password is wrong. Even better is when I have the account open on my browser and the app still doesn’t recognize it. The student version is fine, used that many times. But the teacher app is useless.
Works great, missing important feature
Super useful for me to see how individual students are doing on an assignment while circulating, but it is missing functionality with Apple Pencil.
Great App, mostly
I love the app and being able to start quizzes without having to go to my computer.
I do wish that it would remember my username and password though like pretty much every other app on my phone. I havte having to re-type them anytime i use this app.
It’s a little thing, but it’s a big thing.

Can’t login with Google
I love Socrative, I really do, it saved my sanity during the lockdown. But there’s no option to login using my offficial school Google account in the app. Please, please fix that!
Equation editor
The only reason I'm even trying this thing out is because the other teachers that know I am into LaTeX told me that Socrative finally added LaTeX support. It is limited at best (for now). The equation editor has no obvious shortcut to summon, and there is no plain-text mode to add delimiters such as $_$ or \(_\), so you need to manually click on the equation editor to switch to math mode. I strongly suggest adding a plain-text mode where delimiters are visible. I couldn't get the typical `array` environment to work, and I couldn't find documentation to know what to change my syntax to.
All of the above may only really annoy the nerdiest of STEM teachers, but the real kicker is.... ***the equation editor does not support a Bluetooth keyboard.***
What is the point is adding "backslash support" when I can't use my keyboard AND the onscreen keyboard doesn't have a backslash in sight.
The website is a little better, but still the editor is far from efficient for those of us with pre-existing latex code. For now, others with desire for real latex are better off using overleaf and taking screenshots of the rendered pdf. You'll be happy you can keep your code for when something usable comes along.
