Disappointing Policy Change for Paid Members
I have been a long time user of Boom Cards and, until recently, considered it one of the most cost-effective and practical tools for creating and sharing digital materials as an SLP. One of the biggest advantages was the ability to share self-published decks with colleagues, regardless of their account type. This made collaboration easy and allowed teams to efficiently support students without adding extra financial burden. Unfortunately, the recent policy change requires BOTH users to have paid accounts in order to share self-published decks has been extremely disappointing. This change in policy has not been updated on their membership plans either, making their basic (free) account misleading to new members. As someone who already pays for a premium membership to create unlimited decks, I find it frustrating that I can no longer freely share the materials I’ve created with colleagues unless they also pay. This significantly reduces the value of the membership and creates unnecessary barriers to collaboration. What was once a standout, cost-effective resource now feels much more restrictive and aligned with other platforms that prioritize paywalls over accessibility for education. At this point, I can no longer recommend Boom Cards to colleagues. I will be exploring and encouraging the use of alternative tools that better support collaboration without added costs.

Terrible now
I plan to delete this app. It does not work properly on the iPad.
Great resource
I have been using boom cards for several years with my esl students. It is a fantastic resource and just what I needed. Making decks is a lot of work but worth it. I am able to make digital activities that are geared exactly to the material I am teaching my students, even usually my own recorded voice. Once made I can assign these decks to digital classrooms and add or remove students as needed. I highly recommend this resource.

Great for homeschool
As a homeschooling mom of three energetic kids ages 13, 12 and 9, finding the right educational resources that save time and efficiently track progress is crucial. Boom Learning has become an indispensable part of our daily routine. This platform has truly been a game changer for us offering a variety of interactive and engaging digital activities that not only keep my kids interested but also cater to different learning needs. I am able to collect real-time data on each child’s progress, monitor their achievements and areas where they might need more focus. I can do all of this without having to manually check their work. I also use this for portfolios and yearly reviews. This allows me to concentrate on other important aspects of homeschooling and family life.
