How do I add the Clever iOS app?
Students and teachers can log into Clever on iPads via the Clever Instant Login app. The app is available for free via the iTunes App Store.
The Clever iOS app requires iOS 9.0 or later and is compatible with iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch. If you are using a device that is running iOS 11 or later, you must update to the newest version of the Clever app.
How do users log into the iOS app?
Students, teachers, and school administrators can log into the Clever Instant Login app using any authentication method (such as Google, Clever Passwords or LDAPS) that has already been configured by their district.
Students with badges can simply scan their Clever Badge and they will be automatically logged into their Clever Portal!
What happens when a user selects a learning application?
After users sign into the Clever Instant Login app they will see their Clever portal. Once they select an application, they'll be automatically authenticated into that learning application's website in a new browser window.
Some applications, such as DreamBox, will automatically redirect users from the new browser window to their standalone iPad app once the user is authenticated. This functionality is managed by the applications themselves and requires an integration to be built with the Clever Instant Login app. We're currently working with each of our partners to get this set up.
How do users switch between applications?
When a user is finished using an application, they can simply press 'Done' at the top left to be taken back to their Clever Portal.
From there a user can select a different application, or they can Log Out by clicking on their name on the top right. For students that share iPads, it is important that they log out before the next student begins their learning session.
What apps are supported?
Some applications don't provide mobile support, which means that you may not be able to access them via your phone or tablet. A full list of supported applications can be found here. If you are interested in using an application that is not listed, please let us know using this form!
How do I deploy the Clever iOS app across all devices in my district?
To deploy the Clever iOS app across all the devices in your district please follow Apple’s instructions for mobile device management.

This is a great app. It works good, but 1 small bug found. We are a 3 to 1 school district on our ios devices. When 1 student logs out of the Clever app and another student wants to log into their account the previous student that logged out will automatically be logged in. After looking into it, I noticed the Clever app is using Safari for the login process and the students info is cached in Safari. So to properly logout of the Clever app, the students also need to go into the settings and clear the cache and history for Safari at this time. Please fix this on a update or let me know if there is another solution.
I also noticed it is using Safari. Is there a way you can make it use Chrome as the default? Make a selection in the settings of the app?
Also where can we find updates about Apps that are currently not supported on Mobile?
Still experiencing the same issue when switching students. Is there a solution?
Hi James,
Contact your Clever support rep and have them change the setting on their end “Force Google Log Off”
Once they did that, it solved the problem at my district.
Hi James and Dean,
Dean - you are correct! "Force Google Log Off" will log students out of their Google accounts when they log out of Clever. You can now enable this on your end by navigating to Portal > Login Settings and clicking on "Edit Settings" for your Google Login setup. Once there you can just check the box to enable the setting!
Best,
Kristina
