Clever Reviews

One of the subject ST math under this app 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.

This 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.

We have been using this app 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 this app servers are totally inadequate and do not handle the volume. They disconnect the kids devices constantly including all apps tied to this app. The only resolution is to totally close out of all apps and restart the device. I have three kids using this app 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 this app whether they want to admit it or not.

Clever is USELESS. First of all, there is absolutely no way to login to Clever to sign in without a badge. When you click the link to sign in (which is terribly designed, and is hidden under the home bar), it redirects you to their website where it asks you your school information, followed by your this app login information. So far so good. 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 Clever , it just takes you to the website and wastes your time. And this does not happen just one time, no. This happens EVERY SINGLE TIME. There is literally no point in downloading Clever, 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.

When 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!

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, Clever doesn’t even save your password nor does it do anything but scan your badge! If you wanna have this app 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.

It’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

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, Clever 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. Clever takes you to a screen that says “scan this app 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 Clever, 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😋🙏😽

Wish 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 Clever to access this app... that’s why Clever 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!!!

I 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! Clever 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 >:(

I’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.

this app needs some serious help with UI. Clever 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 this app. 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!!!!!!

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!

From my perspective this app 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.

I downloaded this app on my phone just to check my enrolled classes for the fall, and I am speaking for high school - i can’t speak for other levels, but for me it works. I usually use my Mac or Dell computers so I’m not really sure yet what people mean by crashing. Maybe your device needs an update or restart process. Or maybe it’s just old and you need to upgrade.

I’m not a fan of the this app app taking you to the website though… you can seriously just go to the website instead. Clever is just.. basically an app, that takes you to the browser. ;-;

But it’s still alright I guess.

But for the people who is saying they can’t log in, and you need a badge — it depends on your school if you need a badge or not. For my district, I know one of my siblings had to use a badge at one point, but the next year he just logs in with google. So it really depends what grade the student is in. And the crashing isn’t clevers fault.. it’s the apps WITHIN this app.

So again it depends, idk what’s with these screwed reviews. I’ve been using this app platform for some years and everything is great for me.

Thank you for taking your time to read this, Stream Magic by TXT ^^

At my school, we are supposed to do about
3-4 hours of I-ready math/reading this app has good math games. Suddenly, I have read other peoples reviews about ST math so since I have read about that I have decided not to do it anymore some apps this app has maybe not teach kids around my age but I think it’s only some of them I mostly recommend I-ready math/reading. It helps the brain continue working and not weaking.

Please don’t read the other comments people have made, it’s only to get out of school work, make sure they don’t put it to 1 star! And I would just like to say this app is amazing! I’ve used it my entire time at school and I just hope it keeps on going for however long it can!
-thank you, sincerely, A student

Clever is very cool for when you are on the go or NEED something done (an assignment) ASAP. For example, I had a social studies TDA due on a Tuesday, and we had a day off for in-service day. So, I didn’t have the TDA done, and I hopped on my phone and got it done. For whatever reason, I stated 3 reasons, and the teacher said that I stated one. At least I got the assignment done. That wouldn’t of affected my grade much since I have a 105 in social studies.

My 8 year old daughter and 10 year old daughter use Clever for their school! It is amazing! The reviews I’ve read are fairly wrong, it never crashes and you CAN log in without a badge so these reviews are very bad for a new user and they might think it’s a horrible app when it is amazing!! 💕 I recommend Clever so much! It is so easy to use and it never crashes! I love it! Any parent that is new to this app and is these reviews are wrong Clever is amazing and almost never crashes!! I love it. 💕

I use this at school like, all the time. It is a good app and I don’t understand why people are having trouble with the login. Seriously. Don’t have your badge? You could just put your email and password or get help from a teacher!!! Clever works perfectly fine, and the school I go to loves your app. And honestly, I’m sad people are being a bit too impatient with Clever.

What a waste of time. Doesn't scan the badge for log in. Sends you into browser for log in and set up fails every single time even with all usernames and passwords provided by school verified.
The log in should be through Clever and not a browser. Even if it did work I don't allow my 6 year old on the Internet.

I needed Clever 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 Clever downloaded before I left. When I got to the hotel and join the hotel’s WiFi, this app 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 this app, students depend on you! Get your act together and fix the log in!!!!!

Absolutely impractical and useless. this app is a great school resource, but without a “badge”, there’s no point in downloading. I have no idea what a this app badge is and how to get one- I don’t think my teacher does either. Access it from Safari or don’t access it at all. I’m in middle school. I am REQUIRED to access MATHia from home. Lots of students have the necessary apps for school, but don’t have access to an actual web browser. this app is great, Clever is trash.

Sincerely,
A Mildly Upset 6th Grader

It worked the first time I tried using it and my daughter really enjoyed it. Now it won’t load and gives me error messages. This would be a great app if it worked. Using it on an iPad 7th gen. Also it seems that Clever immediately directs you to safari after scanning your badge. So Clever doesn’t actually contain any actual functionality other than scanning your badge

Been working with my daughter’s teacher for three days trying to use Clever and finally got the right login and password to get in to see Dreambox. BUT whenever I try to login in Clever it requires a badge and always kicks me to a web browser to use Dreambox there. What is the point of having Clever anyway? Stay away until this is worked out by the devs.

It needs to access camera, it only takes you to the real internet, and it doesn’t even let me press the button! But the website on a computer or laptop it’s great! DON’T get Clever if you have a phone or tablet! But at first, it was great for phones and tablets.I have a tablet.😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🙃😋

I am sure Clever would be fine but when we scan the badge it takes us to the browser. When we try to start program from the browser, it tells us to use Clever . The problem is when we launch Clever from that point it makes us start all over. There is also no way to manually log in, which is dumb. Please fix!

When I go in Clever it brings me to wear your going to take a picture for your scan badge but it doesn’t have a button wear you click to take the photo.

I think it’s good but sometimes it takes a while my classroom and I love Clever but I think it needs

Clever is AMAZING, because I forgot my math book at school and got to print out the worksheet, and my teacher said it was fine with her as long as I don’t forget my homework again..

First of all it is easy to login because there is this app badges, Second because it can bring you to apps much faster,I rate this 5-5

Did you guys delete lexia off of this app and put epic instead like you could have just left lexia on there and add epic like I love lexia in all but I don’t want to go on ther and type in lexia core 5 BLA BLA BLA I just want it to be on this app so I won’t have to do that like why just why

When you go on certain other apps you need it to use them it is the bridge for safari to let you go on it so SHUT UP PEOPLE WHO SAY IT USLESS AND THINK

I DO NOT LIKE IT BECUOSE WANCE I TRIED TO LOGIN WITH MY PASSWORD IT WOULD SAY I PUT THE WHRONG CODE BUT I DIDENT AND ITS PRETTY ANYING
