I have to agree with some of the reviews that are mentioned here. The app loads slowly quite often and the page sometimes glitches and you are not able to see the entire page. If you go back and to try to adjust the page it does not stick. If you select an answer and the page is still not cooperating your answer will be incorrect. My daughter selected an answer for a test of 5 questions and it was marked wrong because some how the answer she chose was not saved. Instead of an 80% for 1 wrong she was marked at 60% because one of her correct responses wasn't saved. Give me a break with this. Who has time to just make this up? I know I don't. How many more negative reviews do you need before this educational app is restructured? Also, I advised my daughter moving forward to screenshot all her answers before submitting her work so she gets the credit for work that is incorrectly marked.

Horrible
December 10, 2023

The website barely loads all of the schools that are using it are bad in everything. The school i am at are all egotistical, disgusting and catastrophic. The website is rushed slow and wonky. All of the schools that pay for it are overpriced as the schools pay an abundance of cash for a service that is horrible

Savvas Realize is the clunkiest and most useless website ever. Content is not easy to find or use. The one useful thing is the lesson videos but there is not even a way to share just those with struggling students. You have to share the entire interactive student edition and then give it a due date. The platform is a major pain to use. You can't even see the title of the book you are selecting in realize reader. When you do get a page open the bars on the screen take up half the screen and you can't even see what you are looking at. Most useless tool ever that is meant to enhance learning.

I have never in my life seen a more poorly designed website. The typing region in the "notebook" saves itself after a moment of not typing. Whenever it saves: the cursor returns to the very beginning, forcing you to click back at where you were typing before if you were to stop typing for a moment. It also completely clears the undo history every time it saves, rendering the undo mechanic completely useless. The fact that this core feature has a tremendously frustrating and blatantly obvious bug that hasn't been fixed perfectly describes the neglect and incompetence that Savvas gives this website.

July 14, 2020

Guys this is so bad stay away. It is supposed to teach you math but actually it just gives you some random problem to do when you don't even know what the heck you are supposed to be doing. DO NOT USE

Made by retired teachers that want to make easy money. This programme is not realistic in time frame and inaccessible to English Additional Language Speakers. The teacher handbook is accessible online but you can't view it unless it's on their webiste, which takes forever to navigate and then forever to load. There is no option to download the handbook as a pdf. There's just too much information and all useless and unscaffolded. I want to know where, where in this world does this actually work? Even I can't see it working in a British speaking school with above high intelligence where following this programme could be in any way helpful or even possible. Schools are losing money by buying thi quizk fix which fixes nothing at all. Do not invest in this awful programme unless you're looking to invest poorly.

If you forgot a comma, your done. And the explanations if you get a question wrong are not in depth and hardly do anything to help. The lessons aren't bad but aren't anything to brag about. For kids, this website is hellhouse.

Terrible site
December 15, 2021

As a student who has to use this for all my classes I can confirm the this website is a glitchy mess. It makes you close all of the tabs you have open every time you try and use it and there is no easy way to find the page you are looking for. Navigating the website is a nightmare and the activities are sub par at best. If I could write a lower review I would but sadly 1 star is the lowest I could go

HORRIBLE. JUST HORRIBLE.
October 13, 2021

Why is your product so bad? Why did you just dump it on consumers and waste our money, time, and energy? This is a horrible site. Do NOT use this, not to mention the creepy figures and inappropriate. Content. If you have this as well and work school has made you get this, I'm sorry, educators. Kahoot, Khan Academy, XtraMath, Google Classroom, and Canvas are better. Use those instead of wasting your time. I wish I could give this 0 stars, SMH.

Bad
February 4, 2020

I use it for math and it always changes my answer it is so frustrating. I hate this website. I feel like teachers should not use this ecspespecily for a grade. I would not even give it a star that's how bad it is. Teachers should definitely stick to paper tests and never have their students go through how terrible this website is. It can really add stress to your day and make you hate your teacher.

Daily Headaches!
October 12, 2021

As a teacher, I understand my school spent a ton of money on this program, however I am one month into school, and have yet to use it. It confuses the kids, and me as well. Savvas online is impossible to navigate. Want to search for something... get 500 results to sort through. The reviews on this site are accurate, and I wish I was using ANY other program. ANY other program!

So even though I ordered a book online with a credit card, and it was a digital book, the order is still a manual process on their end. My book got "held" up and someone dropped the ball and didn't click a button or something. My son let me know he never got the email and he needed the book for school, so I called the Customer Service. They said it will now ship in "some" time. I'm like what does "Some" time mean? It's a digital book, shouldn't it be immediate? All they could tell me was "some" time. Poor English and not really understanding the questions. Smh
So in a waiting pattern for the digital book to arrive in "some time"?

Rounding
November 27, 2023

In Algebra 1, you have to round to a whole number. This is not educative. I now have to redo the whole problem just because you have to round to a whole number because my computer screen was too small to read the miniscule text of "round to the nearest whole number." You also are not permitted to have improper fractions, even though in two years you will be in Algebra 2. If we did not use this program in class, I wouldn't have had to redo the whole problem, which took me around a half an hour. If you are like my class and don't like to struggle, this is not the program for you. Actually this is not the program for anyone. If you are not having a good time, which you won't, have fun reading this reviews, it will give you new motivation.

When i was doing my history lesson on this website, it loaded the wrong page and caused me to get a bad score. This not only happened once.It happened multiple times. This caused me to turn in my lessons without knowing that i skipped something because it loaded wrong. VERY DISSATISFIED :(

Savvas Realize is a horrible website. Often, it will get problems incorrect which is highly annoying while trying to learn. Savvas Realize is also the reason my friends glasses broke, as he literally looked at the website and they shattered. Savvas Realize has also glitched and changed people's answers. Savvas Realize is also ridiculously expensive. Savvas Realize also gave various people extra credit, but we are glad about this.

No improvements have been made since absorbing the Pearson iBook years ago, which was amazing. Converting it to an eTextbook was a horrible idea, which removing all the hyperlinks and functionality. Every function with Savvas is cumbersome and time-consuming. There is NOTHING user-friendly about this for instructors nor for the students.

I simplified my answer and rather than grade it correctly because it was it said my answer was wrong. It was a correct simplification because I put it into a simplification calculator and it gave me the answer. Despite this Savvas said my answer was wrong, repeatedly. Fix your broken website before you get contracts with schools to teach the kids math.

OOF
September 11, 2020

It is awful and I hate and just don't use it please. I am trying to save you from a world of pain and frustration and maybe a few broken screens. I want to smack it really hard but I can't because I like my laptop. I would suggest Khan Academy it gives you nice videos to explain what the lesson is about and it is very helpful and stuff. I'd give Digits/pearson/savvas relalize 0.******* stars if I could. This site makes me want to barf.
