Find out how easy it is to assign, collect and review student work from thousands of compatible iPad apps, or have your students complete assignments with Showbie’s built in tools.

WHAT EDUCATORS ARE SAYING
“Showbie is my number one can't live without app! It makes the iPad workflow process a breeze! I especially love how it works seamlessly with so many other apps.”
— Kristen Paino, Lead Technology Integrator at Avenues: The World School

“I don't need to convince my colleagues that they need to use this app — it sells itself. I like that it gives me the flexibility in how I choose to grade my student's work, especially with the voice notes feature. There is no single third party app that I would rather champion.”
— Suzanne Lustenhouwer, Teacher and iPad Coordinator, Apple Distinguished Educator

“I love that Showbie is so versatile that the youngest of students can use it independently, yet it is appropriate for older grades as well. The ease of use makes it a great workflow solution for classes with iPads.”
— Kristi Meeuwse, Kindergarten Teacher, Apple Distinguished Educator

Multiple accounts

As a parent with 2 children on Showbie, who share a device, its annoying to have to keep logging in and out each child when doing homework. There should be an option to log in multiple accounts and then be able to switch between them. I know there is a parent account but you cant upload files etc.

Why this app is my 13th reason

I would give this app a 0 but that’s not possible, so I give it a 1. I've had an absolutely terrible experience with Showbie. The app is buggy and constantly crashes, which has caused me to lose work and waste countless hours of my time. I also find it incredibly frustrating that the app doesn't save my work properly, meaning that I've had to redo assignments multiple times. But what's even worse than the app's technical issues is the behavior of my classmates on the app. Some of them use Showbie to flirt and make inappropriate comments, which has made it an uncomfortable and unsafe environment for me to learn in. It’s scary. I've reported this behavior to the app's support team, but it doesn't seem like they've done anything to address the problem, idiots. Overall, I would not recommend Showbie to anyone. It's a poorly designed app that doesn't function properly and allows for inappropriate behavior. Save yourself the frustration and look for another app to use for your educational needs because this one is a waste of time and effort.

Extremely disappointed

I have been using this app for 4 years now but it never fails to always crash on me… as soon as I use it to revise for important exams it crashes every five seconds: screen will freeze, it will stop letting me write, not let me press done, not save my annotations. It’s pathetic and causes me a massive migraine as it’s literally the only revision source our teachers give for our exams. This has happened on numerous occasions and I know for a fact it is the apps fault and not the device as I have tried on multiple devices, I’ve tried deleting the app and logging in and out but nothing is doing the trick! Honestly such a pain, please save yourself a migraine and don’t download the app (especially if your a school and going to use it for all your students because I already feel sorry for them if you do end up using it)
