Their update took longer than they expected and now the newest version does not allow you to have access to your tests or activities that you already had created in their 1.0 version. I sent the following to their website: beta.socrative.com <br /><br /><br />On Fri, Oct 18, 2013 at 2:44 PM, Brooke> wrote:<br />This update was silly. You shut down the entire site for 5 days and the only way to access the improvements is through a completely NEW website? And what I have in the 1.0 version is not and will not show up in the 2.0 version and vice versa. However, I received emails stating that I would be able to access the new updated app WITH my saved files/tests.<br /><br />My students like the app; but I will not be using the beta version as I do not trust it. Not to mention I would have to re-create many tests in order to even use the new "improved" version- which I have no time for. I am one less customer, I will be on the hunt for a website that will work with my students needs.<br />Brooke<br /><br />Their response:<br />On Oct 18, 2013, at 2:06 PM, "Beta Socrative" wrote:<br /><br />Best of luck to you in your search and sorry for your frustrations. We're a team of three people offering a free product and working as hard as possible. By the way, 2.0 is pretty awesome<br /><br /><br />My response:<br />Three people working on a major software update doesn't found like a good plan. How is it awesome if I can't access the tests I've already created? <br />While you think 2.0 is awesome, I know awesome- I'm certified and drizzled in awesomeness, and 2.0 is not awesome. <br /><br />So for those of you who are feeling that the customer support is non existent- there are only 3 people apparently working on it. I do not have time to wait for it to work and be compatible with what I have already created. I am going to check out infuse learning or other apps like socrative.

I was thinking about suggesting to teachers, but I was most curious about customer support as I work the IT help desk... and we all know my job would be easier if client support was BA.

Although I had been planning to in-service my staff in Socrative for the past two months, I finally switched to InfuseLearning and am delighted that I did.

Customer support has been non-existent. I know they are doing some updates, but this has brought my class to a standstill. I'm switching to a new program now.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00954950671519313070noreply@blogger.com
