Takes your money then ruins your grade
Title basically sums it up. I have stable internet connection and make sure to put my answer before time is up. However, this horrible app glitches and kicks me out of my own class. This has happened twice, and twice I have lost points. Terrible app and I’m extremely thankful school is starting in person again so I don’t have to use this crap. Would give 0 stars if possible.Show lessSuper Tired Student
Many problems that interrupt class time
This app is a great concept, but at times it glitches and makes our professor stop class for students to catch up. I hope they can fix these issues soon, as students have to purchase this app that should work perfectly fine.tamekimpala

Thank you for your feedback. We are indeed working to address these issues and made a number of improvements to address the issue you mentioned last week. If you continue to experience problems, we would greatly appreciate if you sent any specific scenarios causing unwanted behavior to support@iclicker.com.Rip off
I’m in a 16 week semester course and payed the $15 subscription but they screw you over in the sense that it doesn’t even cover the full semester. So with less than a month left in the course I have to re-purchase the subscription in order to answer the last 20 days of in class questions. They need to reevaluate their subscription lengths.Show lessMj129758864786
Professors please stop using this
This app works maybe 25% of the time. The first 3-4 weeks of class the geo system would not connect and my class was not able to use this app at all. After that issue was finally solved it would still not load most days. It was not worth the money to have an app that doesn’t work, please don’t use this in your classroom.Show lessKSmith9
Another way to make money off of students
Yet another way to profit off of students. It’s awesome, the free trial expires in two weeks and then instead of telling you right away if let’s you log into class and then says “looks like class has started but you’ll need to pay to access it” so you’re in the middle of lecture needing to answer a question and the app is forcing you to pay.
It’s ridiculous that you have to buy a physical iclicker and then also buy a reef subscriptionShow lessCollegeUser00

Thank you for your feedback. There is a banner at the top of the app that should appear 7 days prior to the end of your free trial that includes information about purchasing a subscription. To clarify your second point: if you are participating in polling using a physical iClicker remote, you don't need to purchase a subscription to Reef to view your results in Reef. However, if you are participating via Reef, you do need a subscription.Great to look back at questions and feel like I’m part of the class, even when we are all online.
I really like this over the physical remote in that it I can take time to think about the question knowing I have a copy of it to refer back to later.Former iClicker User
Theft
This app is made purely to steal money from those who can’t not use it. It has no competitors so they can set the price to whatever they want, 2-3$ for a semester would be reasonable. Anything more than $5 isn’t. If the app did more it would be reasonable, but an app used purely to take attendance and answer the occasional multiple choice question isn’t. This app is purely theft and should not be used.Show lessBob128637
Ridiculously laggy
For an app that has such a high subscription fee, the user interface is infuriating. Joining a class takes forever and the app crashes all the time. In order for it to launch properly you have to make sure that no other apps are open, which is not practical at all if I'm trying to do something else at the same time, and if I want it to stay open, I have to make sure that I have the app constantly open. If I swipe away for just a few seconds, the app crashes again. This is absurd considering that the actual function of the app is so basic. Every design element feels like a minimal amount of effort was put into it. If I didn't have to use this for a class, I definitely would not be using this app.Show lessiwantsalmon

I'm sorry to read that you've experienced problems with the app. We haven't had prior reports of this particular behavior, so please contact us at support@iclicker.com so we can help you resolve this issue.Should be free
This app is used in colleges just to get money off of students who already pay too much. It’s a very simple app that just lets you answer multiple choice questions which can be done in many alternative and free ways. Instead this app charges you over $15 just to have a useless subscription.MaxR1250
Just awful
Too expensive, just milking college students for money, and that’s probably the smallest problem. The app tracks your location so the professor or teacher can see where you are when the app is on, like big brother in 1984. Then the app doesn’t work if a class room doesn’t have cellular reception, so you get zero points for that day. Pice of garbage.Show lessWidvoabld
