Clever for Negative User Reviews
✓ This is a terrible ideaEver since I was in school I had to do this every single day I did I ready and that’s all I do is just a waste of space if your parent reading this tortures your kids mental health this app is not good for them ever since I did this I was tortured since I was five we should not be exposing this to young children is a torturing device disguised as education this is a terrible app do NOT consider using this. This is the worst “education” app out there so please do not use this. They’re exposing this to five and six-year-olds and younger This torture disguised as an education app is terrible idea. It’s a good concept, but not executed correctly a kid in my school committed suicide because of this, but not just this but it made it worse Do not use this the schools that use this terrible at there job. their job is to educate not torture a five year old mental health.Version: 4.5
✓ It’s just zearn, and it’s just plain CRAPI am REALLY hoping that some people who work at Zearn look at this review, because I want them to know that Zearn is just crap! First of all it will NOT let me log in on my iPad (EVEN THOUGH IT WORKS ON A COMPUTER!!!!) and I need to go to the SRVUSD portal to go in. Second of all, it teaches the most STUPIDEST things ever! Like, for example, when I was a fourth grader, it literally taught us HOW TO FREAKING COUNT! Literally, what kind of fourth grader is THAT stupid?! THIRD of all, once you get ONE problem wrong, well, GUESS WHAT! If you are on the tower of power, then EVERYTHING just starts over! THIS APP IS JUST PLAIN BAD! PLUS! I would ALSO rate this a zero star because it is just so stupid and I wish someone sues Zearn >:(.Version: 4.4
✓ Useless softwareOne of the subject ST math under clever is absolutely dumbest math for the children, it is not helping children. It is making children more dumb. I don’t know who created this software to torture children’s mind. This ST math just making Children more frustrated and eventually want to give up. The math work can be done in 15 mins but the Gigi animation made it an hour long torture to complete. Why don’t you guys do a survey from the students, let the kids tell you guys how frustrated from doing the unnecessary steps. All the concepts my children already knew and do it quite well but Gigi animation is making it more difficult and complex to think. Especially the two digits to two digits modification. It supposed to be 5 to 10 seconds job, ST math made it like 2 mins on one single question. It is just making children confused in stead of clear. All the animations are wasting time. If I have negative stars can give, I definitely will offer that..Version: 4.4
✓ PLEASE READ THISI’m doing online school and I haven’t learned one thing from this stupid app. So to anyone doing online and is in my district why should we bother doing online I would rather be at school than doing online school from home. It’s the worst thing I have ever done in my life. It’s ruining my sophomore year of high school. I don’t get to see my friends or get to meet any of my teachers. I don’t get why they just made it all in school instead of choosing weather or not u get to go to school or not. I would want to be in school right now seeing my friends and talking to them but NO I can’t..Version: 4.4
✓ This is stupidWhen I do this on my phone it just goes to a lesson and starts it when I didn’t even tap the screen, also doing it on a mobile is awful there’s not even room to read the words. And I have a HUGE problem with TTM because it’s mostly word problems that I can’t even figure out, it’s not teaching me anything. When you do the first part of the lesson on TTM and you don’t past, you them have to spend a WHOLE hour to finish and past the whole lesson! Like where do you think we have time to do that in life! These pet need to know we have things to do in life instead of just sitting there for HOURS!.Version: 3

✓ CIMPLETELY uselessIt just scans your badge and brings you to safari... when you can just sign up in safari with your account. I thought all of the stuff on the website would be on this app, and I also thought you would get notifications when someone, like a teacher, posts something. That would be way better in my opinion. Don’t bother downloading this useless app. ALSO its basically just a bookmark place, why not just save it as a bookmark instead??.Version: 4.4
✓ Worst learning appI hate to do I ready they take way to long and don’t even help with anything. They don’t give a calculator, writing space, or even help. It take at least 30 minutes to do a lesson and not counting the quiz. If your on the quiz and know the answer but because of the number pad being so small you press a different number and get it wrong. But if you have very few questions on the quiz one wrong answer can make you fail. Than you have to do another 30 minutes doing the EXACT same lesson you just did. So I ready fix your app..Version: 4.4
✓ Literally who made this app?? (stan ATZ & T1419)It’s literally so USELESS. You need a badge, and I hate to make one through my computer, so it was a waste of time. Secondly, the app itself is horrible. There is no point in getting it. I got it because I had difficulties using it on my computer, so I tried with my phone. The app takes you to a screen that says “scan clever badge”. THATS LITERALLY IT. When you scan the badge, it takes you to A WEB BROWSER. A WEB BROWSER!!! There’s literally no point in this app, and right now I’m mad that I spent a good 7-10 minutes trying to figure it out, all for it to be waste. I HATE IT HERE👺👺👺👺👺🏃♀️🏃♀️🏃♀️🏃♀️. Anyways, please stan T1419 and Ateez ofc❤️ xoxo, jackie from I wanna KMS😋🙏😽.Version: 4.4
✓ TERRIBLE FOR STUDENTSI needed this app to finish online homework my teacher assigned me to do, but get this- I was on a road trip and the assignment was due by midnight. The only form of technology I had was my phone. I had the app downloaded before I left. When I got to the hotel and join the hotel’s WiFi, Clever wasn’t working. It wouldn’t let me sign in without an appbadge thing... I ended up getting a F on the assignment. I even had to email my teacher saying I couldn’t do it. Team Clever, students depend on you! Get your act together and fix the log in!!!!!.Version: 4.3
✓ Worst app everI downloaded this app which was a mistake and I long in and everything is working smoothly until I go to iready and it won’t work and I am doing online school work and it won’t let me get into it. It says I have to change something in the setting and I do after I do it still won’t work tells me to change something else and I do after that the clever app won’t let me into it so something happens that is why this is the worst app ever don’t download this app it is a waste of time and it not just Iready I have had problems with..Version: 4.4
✓ Don’t downloadReasons an app on it called iready explains for hours how to do work but half the time it isn’t even explaining the work they are just talking to them about useless stuff. Plus the questions aren’t even life like because you would never use the questions in real life. Also have I learned anything from clever? No. It’s that useless. Also this might sound stupid but I was looking for iready to write a bad review for them but I found my second least favorite app instead. Honestly I just downloaded this on my phone to give it a bad review because I have it on my computer.. :l.Version: 4.4
✓ Worst an educational game everThe voice that it has is so aggravating and annoying and says somethings wrong with it actually right it’s like the worst thing possible to have I wish we still at ST math turn off the school the app that we used to use now I really wish we had to have it still but we don’t so that’s awful I’d rather use a math notebook and journal rather than the thing I like rather than DreamBox so like yeah it’s the worst app ever if you could please bring back ST math. this is what I think of DreamBox 🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮.Version: 4.4
✓ No just noFirst, I won’t let me log in without a badge( which I don’t even know where to find). So I press log in with user and password. It takes me to safari and the I put my school information but it ask if it is my district, and I press the button with the square. And it doesn’t do anything. So I’d rather not be lazy and get me PC than download this. And if ur having trouble maybe u could find the badge in the student portal on another device..Version: 4.4
✓ DumI can’t find my school at all I rote all the ways that you can call my school and still nothing.Version: 4.4
✓ Waste of time and space.At first I had thought this would be a great addition to my device. Especially for school, and multiple other things. But, how wrong I was. First of all, when you download it, it takes you too a badge scanning page... which is amazing and all until after you scan it, it just takes you too a website that asks you to do the exact same thing! Not only do u have to do it once, but twice! Furthermore, the app doesn’t even save your password nor does it do anything but scan your badge! If you wanna have clever on your phone for school I suggest just going to the website. This situation is truly disappointing and I’m tired of it. DO. NOT. DOWNLOAD. THIS. APP..Version: 4.4
✓ Why?Bro I downloaded this for school and I had no idea what it would be like because at my school we use clever on chromebooks but as soon as it imidietly sends you to safari I didn’t like the app because safari for me never works so technically I have to use my moms MacBook whenever using clever not saying the app is bad just saying that the safari thing is really annoying (I am not used to writing on my iPad so I don’t use punctuations).Version: 4.5
✓ HardIt’s hard to find things and so many people have issues and I have to search long in hard for all apps and when a teacher hasn’t assigned a app it’s really frustrating because that process alone takes forever you should of worked more with it before throwing in to covid times it could be so much better without issue this program as only worked 5 times throughout the whole year this and the favorites feature could’ve fix this but are to close so you end up having to search any way this and the way it never allows you to move around the apps to fit your needs this would be help full so change your app.Version: 4.4
✓ Absolutely TerribleThis app is terrible. I am trying to do online work and the only option it gives is scanning a badge or logging in, which I clicked login and it took me to the website. This really frustrated me because the whole point of downloading the app was to not have to go the the website every time. Also what if you don’t have badges to scan? This is terrible and please fix this to where it won’t take me to the website. Make this work in the app..Version: 4.4
✓ AwfulI couldn’t get this to work on our Samsung tablet, so thinking Apple works with schools more I went out and bought an IPad for my daughter. It worked!! For a few months. Now I’m back to the same problem I had with the Samsung. It won’t let me log in. Takes me to a “check system requirements” page. My daughter can’t work on her schoolwork from home because the developers can’t make an app that thousands if not millions of school kids use. Way to kill my daughters excitement to learn. She was so excited to get on this at home and work on it..Version: 4.4
✓ The mechanics are so frustratingI have a child with ADHD and the mechanics in this game are beyond horrible. They don’t even register and a kid has to spend 5 minutes dragging letters that don’t even register to the touch screen to where they’re supposed to go. This is an ADHD nightmare and my child loses focus after the third attempt. I get told by my child all the time that this is “so boring.” I really wish the education system would get away from this app because it’s an every day frustration to meet the class requirements. Imagine having to start a whole segment of learning over because the app doesn’t register a touch and then acts like a different word or letter was touched instead. No wonder my child can’t stay focused. No reward and having to repeat work because of the failings of the mechanics. Terrible teaching practices. I would give negative stars if I could that’s how frustrated I am..Version: 4.5
✓ Not a bad app, just a waste of spaceI've been using Clever throughout the entirety of my high school years, and it's actually quite helpful. It keeps things nice and organized, and it makes it easier to access any websites or apps that teachers use. However, the app itself is a complete waste of space if your school doesn't use Clever badges. You'd be better off just using Clever in Google or Safari through your phone. Thanks for taking the time to read this :).Version: 4.4
✓ Clever not ready for Covid...servers inadequateWe have been using clever a couple months now. The first couple weeks went along smoothly until the rest of the country started school and increased the virtual load. The Clever servers are totally inadequate and do not handle the volume. They disconnect the kids devices constantly including all apps tied to clever. The only resolution is to totally close out of all apps and restart the device. I have three kids using clever and this is happening to all three kids. It is a nightmare and makes our school day twice as long with the constant rebooting. If I was an administrator, I would definitely choose a different platform for virtual learning. As a frustrated parent, I promise you that when this is happening to almost all the kids in our school, then it is not my problem or my kids problem. It is Clever whether they want to admit it or not..Version: 4.4
✓ What’s the point?I would give ZERO stars if I could. You would think with thousands of school systems all over the country using Clever for distance learning, that the makers of this app would figure out a way to let students log in with their passwords instead of a badge that none of them have. Maybe they make more money making you sign in thru a browser? I could have envisioned schools using Clever after kids eventually get back to in-person learning, but hopefully by then there’ll be something better..Version: 4.4
✓ UselessThis isn’t a single sign on app. You scan your student badge to log in and it takes you to a tiny browser with a bunch of other links. Clicking any of them requires an additional login to the specific app/site so it’s not doing SSO. If you happen to switch to another app it forces you to scan the student badge again to access the still-useless tiny browser with the still-need-to-login set of links. This doesn’t appear to do anything that a regular webpage with a list of links doesn’t do. I really hope no schools are wasting their money on this garbage..Version: 4.4
✓ Great appFrom my perspective clever is a great app for learning, but it’s got some programs on it that don’t help much. Like I Ready, it’ll teach you but the tutorials are way to long and don’t even support phones. It also won’t even let you run it from the browser and the fact that some students don’t have a computer to use I ready nor and I Pad will just waste a parents time either trying to get an iPad or the student won’t be able to do their online homework at home. This review comes from a student too..Version: 4.3
✓ Worst app, pointless appAPP is POINTLESS! First, there is absolutely no way to login to the app to sign in without a badge. When you click the link to sign in (which is terribly designed), it redirects you to their website where it asks you your school information, followed by your clever login information. However, after signing in, it takes you right to the main page, where you can see your classes and resources. It NEVER logs you into the app. And this does not happen just one time, no. This happens EVERY SINGLE TIME. There is literally no point in downloading this app, it is just a huge waste of your time, and instead, go spend your time trying to make a web app shortcut if you really want this garbage on your home screen. Seems like many others have had same problems and app developers don’t seem to care and don’t seem to want to fix..Version: 4.4
✓ This App is Absolutely UselessJust like every other reviewer I installed this app I my child’s iPad so that he could logging and complete his assignments regardless if he has his school computer. I get the app installed only to find out that you cannot login directly from the app. All the app does is send you to a web browser. Obviously Clever doesn’t care about these reviews because other users reported this issue over 1 year ago. That’s plenty on development time to correct this issue..Version: 4.4
✓ This is by far the worst app that I ever installedClever needs some serious help with UI. The app just a portal to the a website. It can’t perform some basic functions such as go back to the last page. The school teacher puts online classes through google drive. It can’t connect to google drive app to upload and download or save files through clever. With its existing issue of go back to the previous page, just stupid way to waste time. Will talk to school board and see how much they paid for such a malfunctioning app and stop using it. Absolutely no recommended for anyone to use it!!!!!!.Version: 4.4
✓ BadI had high hopes for the Clever app, but I'm beyond disappointed with my experience. The app is riddled with bugs and glitches that make it almost impossible to use. The interface is confusing and counterintuitive, making basic tasks feel like a chore. Customer support was no help either – they seemed unaware of the issues and were unable to provide any solutions. Save yourself the frustration and avoid this app at all costs. One star is honestly too generous for the headache this app has caused me..Version: 4.4
✓ Useless without a badgeWish they would change the log in so you can enter your info instead of having to use a badge. If the school didn’t give them out and the student doesn’t have it then you have to use the browser. Would make it Useful if you could just used your login info on the app to access Clever... that’s why the app was downloaded so we didn’t have to use the browser and our student could access everything from the tablet instead of having to schedule our time when the desktop/laptop is available. Great idea, not thought all the way though... change the login options PLEASE!!!.Version: 4.4
✓ WHAT IS THIS CLEVER!?!?I don’t know what to say about this but... THE HECK IS THIS this is just want is this I just can’t my mom and I tried using it and it didn’t work (to get in google classroom) I- this is just .......................................................................... I- the heck is this I don’t even know my password! I see a lot of these views my mom got the app we tried tried tried.... I just.... can’t fix this NOW it’s just horrible I can’t even saying nothing about this.... clever if you fix this maybe people will a little like it that’s all I got to say for you.Version: 4.4
✓ It’s good but..I wish it didn’t make you do the same lesson if you failed, I want to do the same problems with a different story. Or different problems same subject. I’ve seen people write down the answers while doing their last lesson, so they can fill it in for the repeated lesson as it gets boring. I also wish the explaining for a problem you miss is a little bit shorter, it’s harder to take in a lot of information then it is to a short explaination. Thank you!.Version: 4.4
✓ I disagreeI don’t have a problem with it . I love it. It’s so much fun and the word alert is my favorite thing I always look up to it and the whole entire reason .one of my favorite reasons .I do it is because the word alert .but I hate the bug thing it’s just like disgusting I hate bugs I do not like bugs at all😐. But besides that I think it’s really fun and I love it so much I would definitely recommend it for other schools like a manual should do it that. And I would definitely recommend it it is like I love it and especially imagine math .you could decorate your character and it’s so much fun and you get to change the colors. also have your own little pet and it’s so cute🦮..Version: 4.4
✓ WAStE OF TIME!!!DO NOT DOWNLOAD THIS APP. First I’m a 4th grader and yes I’m writing this don’t be surprised and plus when you do an I ready lesson it takes about 45-60 minutes just for 1 lesson yes 1 lesson and hear me out you don’t even learn anything you don’t explain it, it’s just all multiple choice and the dionastic it doesn’t help they make us answer just 3 questions for ready 5 or 6 pages and a voice message like how does the reader tell that he’s mad when he says the word violent like how are we suppose to know that like seriously pls do not download it it is just a waste of time..Version: 4.4
