  • Updated review

    Update: it’s working now like before! Awesome. My students really liked it!

    I haven’t used this app in awhile but was going to have my ESL students answer questions to engage them in answering without computers. I made sure I had all updates on app and phone and it won’t open. Just crashes from start. Can’t use.

  • Bug fixes

    Bug fixes are still needed. During scanning (camera) mode the app will often exit the mode early before I can scan in all the card. There should be a way to recover from this (reactivate the question).
  • Too much hassle

    Could be a good app, but having to go on a website and enrolling people and making question sets is a bit of a pain.
    Would be better if you could do everything in the app
  • Great idea, terrible execution

    I have a love hate relationship with Plickers. It’s an excellent idea and it scans flawlessly. You can arrange questions in folders BUT when you want to make a quiz you have to choose from ALL questions lumped together at once! You can’t do it in advance. It is a nightmare. Sure, now they’ve added a paywall so you can actually group your questions into sets. I literally just gave my students a quiz on the wrong chapter because this app is so awful in execution. Thanks “we will always be free” Plickers. I’d pay upfront for this—I even paid for laminated cards, but I’m not paying monthly for an app that does one thing. Don’t waste your time. There are better solutions.

  • Not working. Support requests are useless

    Having not been able to use this for months, the support team asked me if I had ‘switched it off and on again’. Everything on my account has been deleted, I have deleted and redownloaded the app on multiple devices and it’s all just blank. This was a really good app until it all disappeared. I’ll look for another one and showcase that to my school

  • I loved using this in my classroom until everything changed!

    I LOVED plickers! This was such an easy to use formal and informal assessment until everything changed. I was just reading the most recent reviews, and it seems many people feel the same way. Plickers made everything so much easier on the teacher. It was quick and easy. Now, I am struggling to make it work. I am glad I used it last year, during my observation, because it worked well and added points to my observation scores. The next time, only a few days after my observation, I tried to use it, and y’all had changed everything. I haven’t been able to use it with my students since then. I HOPE THAT YOU WILL LISTEN TO ALL THE TEACHERS THAT LOVED PLICKERS! Please take it back to what it was, so all of the struggling teachers out there(myself included) can use it with ease.

  • Update broke so many parts. Disappointed.

    I was excited to try Plickers in my courses after seeing at a workshop, and initially they worked really well. The students enjoyed seeing the results appear immediately, and the results were easy to incorporate into grades.

    The new update, however, broke what was working so well. The new question format has tiny answers that are difficult to read even right near the screen, the images are cut off when displaying from an iPad (which has no landscape mode), and students can no longer see their card register as scanned (so I miss some of them).

    To top this off, today the questions were displaying with the correct answer obviously selected (the letter was highlighted). No longer fun or useful - I will sadly put away my printed cards and shelve plans to invest in laminated versions.

  • A very good app that just got worse.

    The old version of this app did an excellent job. You could take class quizzes with ease and the class data was easy to access. The new version stops you reviewing the class. You have to look at each question individually. Much less efficient. Shame the old version was very good.
  • It’s an amazing app..when it works

    I have seen plickers in action, and it’s incredible when it works. However, when I tried to use it myself, after signing into the app, it crashed any time I tried to open it. I tried restarting my device, getting the newest software update, re-downloading the app, using a different network, using a different device, but nothing worked. When I contacted customer service, they were only suggesting things I have already tried and wrote in my email. I wish they would have been more helpful, but as of now, I will no longer be using the app. It’s a waste of storage on my devices. If they fix this issue I would consider downloading it again.
