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.

No price listed? How do you know what is standard! Or Pro?
I used it in the past and it worked great. Then the school had issues with me going tech
Now we are all going tecky even those that criticized me. But my only complaint is that how or where does it say the price?

Missing google account login on app
I love Socrative. I use it every week in all of my courses. But I can’t use the mobile app because I login using my google account. Please, please integrate it into the app or provide a work around.
Can’t
I just barely signed into the app and all ready I am not pleased with how it functions—> there is no “back button” available so once you’ve clicked on an option you’re stuck on that page unless you go to the pull-down menu and choose to navigate elsewhere. Quite inconvenient and hinders the ease of use (which makes it not-so-user-friendly).

Great product, but...
I love Socrative overall! I don’t use it daily, but it is my go to for reviews for my classes. My complaint with the teacher app, is that I have signed into Socrative using my google account, but I don’t have that option on the app. I can use the web-based version on my desktop or laptop, but the iPad would be more convenient for circulating around the room. Please fix!

Great app gone bad because of glitch
As a Spanish teacher, I have come to love Socrative. I have upgraded to the Pro version but now I can't use continue to create my assessments using photos because every time I try to upload a photo the program crashes. PLEASE fix this glitch.
Photo attachment glitch
My students rely on visuals. Please fix!!
Ok
The photos don't work but otherwise it's great. Don't use this with kids who can't read.
Pro version
I have tried to upgrade the app from the "go pro" button and it does not work. I love how the app works, going to be using for our homeschool.
Good but limited
I would like to ask you to change the file name for the downloaded reports. The date format is confusing to non-Americans. It would be easier to file as year-month-day (2017-02-15) as this automatically keeps them in date order and is universally understood. Thank you.
Stopped Working
App does not work properly anymore. Takes forever to load. Activities don't start when pressing "start." Can't even use it!! 😡
Glorified web portal
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.
Needs Improvement
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!
Amazing
Its an amazing app
No longer loads
Not sure what happened but the app opens and won't 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.
Troubles
It's a good app for teachers but it doesn't seem to be loading (same with the student one), or it's taking a very long time to load.
