## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Orwellian Tool

*2025-07-31*

Beware this Bluetooth app: a sinister cash-grab exploiting control-freak instincts in academia. Forcing attendance via tracking in higher education-prime ground for independence-it violates personal liberty and hampers growth. Devs peddle this oppressive gadget as innovation, but it's just monetized micromanagement, breeding resentment over enlightenment. Ditch it entirely-progress demands freedom, not digital leashes.

### 1/5 — Bugs

### 1/5 — Add dark mode

### 1/5 — Bad Service

*2022-09-29*

Attendance feature does not work reliably and is poorly designed

### 1/5 — Great app if you like garbage things

*2022-02-10*

Of course used by my two bit university. If you’re a professor and you use this, you’re a lazy, fat, piece of ****

### 1/5 — Can’t get a real response

*2020-01-08*

I have been waiting for approval for an instructor account since August. Every time I check back in, I get a message that says it is still being confirmed. In the meantime, I get plenty of acadly emails. Too bad I can’t use any of the technology discussed. Seems like a great app - if I could actually use it.

### 1/5 — Acadly Force Closes after entering from notification

### 5/5 — Polls & Chats

*2019-09-15*

The feature my peers and our class like most on Acadly is polls, as we move class  dates based on everyone’s availability. Additionally, chats help direct interactions, specific to the relevant topics. 

As more features have been added, I’m still to utilize other functionalities. 
Overall fits our class requirements.

### 5/5 — Like the seamless UI and functionality

*2019-09-01*

Like the seamless UI and functionality. The App continues to upgrade periodically, with even more features.

### 5/5 — Exceeded expectations

*2019-08-30*

A colleague recommended this solution. So far it’s an excellent way to amplify my impact in the classroom without focusing on the busy work. Good updates on a regular basis.

### 5/5 — Great product

*2019-08-29*

Easy to use and makes learning fun!! I encourage every one to try it

### 5/5 — Simple and easy to use

*2018-09-05*

The platform is really simple and easy to navigate on all panes. Had a bit of an issue at first with the attendance registration through bluetooth using iOS but somehow corrected itself automatically.

### 5/5 — More professional platform to connect with current age students

*2018-09-03*

Acadly provides an excellent platform to manage classes, make announcements, share syllabus, video lectures, pdf files etc. 
it also allows a me to manage attendance of large of students very quickly, take opinion polls, and quizzes on regular basis. The students can also monitor their own progress on regular basis. I find it as a better alternative to WhatsApp or other such platforms to connect with tech savvy students.
