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

Easy and fast

Very easy to use for both the student and the teacher. Highly recommend if you are looking to use less paper in the classroom and have everything your students need in one place.

glitchy, slow, and lacking a ton of basic features of a document app
Extremely glitchy

This app was made with the intention of making as much money from schools with the minimum effort. There are numerous bugs that never got fixed for even after a few years. This app lacks very basic features that every basic document editor has. It’s so poorly made that it can’t handle 5-10% of a page being filled up with annotations without lagging horribly. With constant crashes you can be sure that your work never gets saved. Even if you somehow manage to get through all that, more than a third of the time your work just simply does not save. It either flips pages, deletes random blocks of text and annotations, or just gives up and deletes all your work!
