  • not user friendly

    This app is so difficult to get anything done on. It is laggy. It is slow. It makes uploading anything very difficult. The art edit feature is delayed when used with the voice recording too. It is the least user friendly app I have ever used. The website is ok, but my computer does not have a microphone on it so therefore I am unable to record anything on it and i am forced to use the app. If i could use another app i would, but I am being forced to use this app for a class. It makes work that should take 30 minutes take an HOUR and 30 minutes. I would never ever recommend another teacher force students to use this. It is a waste of time trying to figure out how it works. It is the biggest waste of storage I have ever had on a device. Deleting ASAP.

  • Worst app ever

    This app works erratically and freezes at different stages, meaning it cannot be used. Restart of device is needed after the freeze. I tried to use it with my class. Most of the class were unsuccessful and complained about it. Maybe a couple were lucky and were successful after multiple restarts. Also you need to login to the app every time you use it which is cumbersome and fails some times. Their support seems to be aware of the problems. Yet I see they released a new update that just gives Tamil support. How about releasing one that makes the app work! Good ppogram on the computer but app unusable.

  • Terrible App, Outdated

    I have to use this app sometimes for my class. This app is terrible from the beginning. When you login, it says” Open in app”... like what? It’s like a website...just in app format. It’s terribly slow to upload the photos( and I have 4G LTE speeds), and many other issues have plagued my use of this app. It’s just outdated and unintuitive overall. There is no direct way to share between accounts, and you cannot change permissions on mobile. I have to switch to my laptop to be able to edit off another account...and I still cannot find that setting. We need a true app-format, a more intuitive interface, more mobile freedoms, and more connectivity options. Also have it optimized-it makes my device (iPad Pro) feel underpowered. We need an update!!!

  • Works for my online class

    The reviews made me skeptical, but after downloading and using it, I learned it worked for my needs. I have a class that uses this and wanted to use my iPad. It worked better then my Lenovo laptop for making the video discussions off our website. For my Economics class, this worked for the cost which was free but functional.

    Thank you!

  • Good service - horribly difficult-to-use app!

    Using VoiceThread for school. The "+" icon in the middle is so difficult to close (and it is incredibly obtrusive - doesn't make you want to consume the content, regardless of how good it is, at all!) and when you want to listen to audio, there is a particular graphic that is so obtrusive, you can't even see the content while listening as they intended it to be used!

    Really want to access this stuff on my phone but it looks like my computer will have to do. What a shame.

    My suggestion is simply to make it easier to use and easier to focus on the content that we care about. Thanks.

  • Awful, awful App

    This app is terrible. First it tells me I can't watch the video of my teacher because I'm not on Wi-Fi. Fine. I exit the app and join the schools Wi-Fi network. Error message still shows. I have to hard reset my phone, join the Wi-Fi network, and then launch the vt app. Then it works. It doesn't detect real time changes to the network selection. This is a repeatable bug. Whatever state you first launch vt in, that is the only time it ever checks the network. If you aren't on Wi-Fi when that happens, you aren't ever getting video even when you join a Wi-Fi network.

    Also, every single video I try to watch starts three seconds from the end of the clip and won't let me start it from the beginning. I have not yet been able to successfully watch any of the videos my teacher posted.

    This app is junk.

  • Updated Review!

    OK, I had given the app 1 star because I couldn't figure out how to read a long text comment. I finally figured out that by slowly sliding the progress bar along the comment's section, you could see sections of the whole text comment. Voicethread thinks of text comments not as immediate whole comments, but as a timed speech - with a time section in the thread corresponding to how big the comment is. It only shows you part of the comment at a time. By sliding the thread's progress bar along the comment period, you can see the whole comment in snippets. Kind of an odd thing, but it works fine. So, fully functional. 4 stars, not five because I didn't figure it out right away.

  • Neat idea, unstable app

    The app's tutorial videos froze. The Wile E Coyote tutorial video did not show the video playing once the presenters appeared on screen. Addiitonally when I tried to make my own VoiceThread it crashed the app. It's a neat idea but it has a very poor execution. Please fix the bugs
