Frequently asked questions
Cost, accounts, offline use, grading, reports and privacy — the things people ask before they commit a lesson to a new tool.
Yes. Every feature is free to use today, with no per-seat pricing and no in-app purchases. There is also no advertising anywhere in the app or on the website.
Small typos and close spellings are accepted, and numbers match in any form, so a spelling slip does not cost marks. If you would rather read every written answer yourself, switch the quiz to manual marking and nothing is graded automatically. See how the rules work.
Nothing is lost. Answers are saved on the participant's device the moment they are given, so a dropped connection never costs progress. Everything syncs back up automatically once the device is online again.
Mostly, yes. Creating a quiz works offline, and so does answering one you have already joined — answers are saved on the device and sync when the network returns. Two things do need a connection: signing in, and joining a quiz by code or QR, because the code has to be looked up. The practical advice is to get everyone joined while the network is working; after that it can drop without costing anything.
There is nothing to pay. Participants join with a 6-character quiz code or a QR code, then sign in with their existing Google account — there is no Quizoma password to create and no separate signup form.
Yes. Quizoma Studio lets you build, share and grade quizzes in any browser — free, signed in with Google. Quizzes you make there also appear in the Android app, and the other way round.
Yes, for practice tests and revision. Students can join a teacher's quiz with a code, or make their own quizzes with Show Score and Retake on to see the right answers after every attempt and go again. It is free with no ads. It does not have flashcards or AI-written questions. More on the quiz app for students page.
Any of them. Taking a quiz runs in a normal web browser, so an iPhone, iPad, Android phone, Chromebook, Windows laptop or Mac all work. Participants go to quizoma.com/take and enter the quiz code — there is nothing to install.
Each question carries a matching rule that you choose: exact match, case-sensitive exact, smart typo-tolerant match, keyword coverage, or numeric equivalence. A question can use several rules at once and is accepted if any of them is satisfied. Typo tolerance is the rule a new question starts with, and an answer that satisfies none of the rules is marked wrong.
Yes, with the numeric equivalence rule. Numbers are compared as numbers rather than as text, so 7, seven and 7.0 all count as the same answer, as do written forms like "one thousand five hundred" and 1500.
Six: single choice (multiple choice), multiple correct with partial credit, true/false, written short answer, fill in the blanks with multiple blanks, and polls. All six can be mixed inside one quiz. See the full list.
Yes. Scores, a per-question breakdown, every answer as it was typed, and any comments you added while marking are generated automatically as a PDF report for every quiz, ready to save, print or share.
Yes, and they are worth knowing before you start building. By default an account can own 10 quizzes, each quiz can hold 20 questions, and an account can be joined to 50 quizzes. A choice question can have 30 options, and a fill-in-the-blanks question up to 20 blanks with 10 accepted answers each. These are defaults the Quizoma team can adjust without an app update, and none of them are a paywall — everything is free to use today.
Not in the app. Polls are not scored, and with anonymous voting switched on participants see totals rather than names, so people answer more honestly. Treat that as “not shown” rather than a privacy guarantee — a vote record still carries an account identifier, so a poll is not the right place for anything sensitive. Use a written or multiple-choice question if you need to know who said what.
No. Scores are not weighted by speed, so a careful answer is worth exactly as much as a fast one.
Yes, from a .txt or .csv file, or from text pasted straight in, up to about 2 MB. A spreadsheet works once you save it as CSV — .xlsx, Word and PDF files are not read. Import covers single choice, multiple correct and true/false questions; written, fill-in-the-blanks and poll questions are added in the editor. You get a preview to review and fix everything before it is saved.
Quizoma stores what it needs to run a quiz and produce your report, and it does not sell personal data. The full detail of what is stored and for how long is in the privacy policy.
Account deletion instructions, and what happens to your data afterwards, are on the account deletion page.
