Showbie 4+

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.

I am an A-Level student, doing my assigned homework and going over it to green pen it, I’m already feeling so much stress, and anger and the impulsive need to just grab a knife and violently stab myself in order to relieve some of my anger, and then Showbie crashes. Showbie crashed after an hour and a half of my work has been done, I see the light, ready to hand it in… but NO, Showbie crashes AND DELETES MY WORK. Not only does this mean I’ve wasted an hour and a half doing work that I couldn’t even correct because it crashed before I had the chance to mark it, but it also wasted an extra half and hour because I’m nothing but a mere human, fuelled with hatred, anger and denial towards the fact that my work has deleted, so I continuously reload Showbie, on multiple devices and different platforms, but to no avail, it’s gone. I think writing this bad review will clear my head and allow me to continue with my revision, only to get told off on Wednesday for not completing the homework. You might suggest redoing it, but what’s the point. I have two weeks until my exam, why would I bother rewriting what I know. I’m so angry, and I’m so angry that there’s multiple reviews about this issue, and that the Colin Bramm and Roy Pombeiro probably know that students like me are suffering, and they aren’t fixing it. This is a threat, this is my anger and sadness into an email because murder is wrong.

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.
