1/5This is a terrible idea
Ever 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

1/5The mechanics are so frustrating
I 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.

5/5Very good website
I titled this “Very good website” for a reason. The app simply directs you to the website. Occasionally, it will ask for your school, as some have complained- that happens the first time, and every once in a while it may happen again. I read through about a dozen complaints, and most of them have to do with the apps within Clever, which Clever did not design. Those apps are chosen by the teachers and the district. Also, teachers can add web pages as well. They can reorganize it, put their own web pages on it, connect it to an LMS, etc.

1/5Clever not ready for Covid...servers inadequate
We 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.

4/5What’s with the bad reviews?
I downloaded clever 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 clever app taking you to the website though… you can seriously just go to the website instead. The app 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 clever. So again it depends, idk what’s with these screwed reviews. I’ve been using clever platform for some years and everything is great for me. Thank you for taking your time to read this, Stream Magic by TXT ^^
