Description
Used by over 3 million teachers and students worldwide, Showbie is the easiest and most effective digital learning app to personalise assignments and feedback on iPad.
DNA of Learning: Your Foundation for Student Success
Showbie supports the improvement of everyday teaching and learning by elevating four essential strands of effective classroom practice - direct instruction, independent practice, personalised feedback and real-time assessment - all in one platform.
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. Provide rich feedback using digital ink, text and voice annotations right on images and PDFs, and then add your students’ best work to personalized digital portfolios that can be securely shared with parents.
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

Ratings and Reviews
Great App, But Room for Improvement
I’ve been using Showbie for a while now, and it’s a fantastic tool for managing assignments, providing feedback, and staying organized in the classroom. The annotation tools and ability to give audio feedback make it easy to connect with students in a meaningful way. Plus, the app’s intuitive design makes it accessible for teachers and students alike.
That said, there are a few areas where Showbie could improve. The app could benefit from more robust collaboration features, like real-time group editing or better tools for group projects. Also, an offline mode for accessing and annotating assignments would be a game-changer, especially for students with limited internet access.
Overall, Showbie is a great platform that streamlines classroom workflows, but with a few tweaks, it could go from great to unbeatable! Highly recommended for educators.
Good overall
It is user friendly for students and teachers alike. It also allows students to write directly into documents, video, and record. Students usually are able to submit work with little to no glitches. Over all, it is a great product.
It could be better if :
-it allowed teachers to assign groups and group assignments.
-it allowed teachers to know what edits a student has made to late work so that partial credit may be earned.
-it allowed teachers to create an assignment for multiple classes at once and to schedule those according to the scheduled time of each class.
Faulty
Hey, I absolutely love your app! But the text box feature is majorly glitchy. It keeps kicking me out and I have to log back in.
