### 1/5 — i hate this app

*2021-01-28, version 3.38*

i think it’s ridiculous that i have to pay $12 to show my attendance for class when there are scanners in the room of my class. most of the time i can’t even get the app open to get extra credit points so i’m missing out on points all because of this stupid app. it shouldn’t be allowed to make us use this app.

### 2/5 — I don’t even understand the purpose of the app at this point

*2020-09-23*

The app crashes everytime you press certain documents, teachers can’t access links half of the time because they are literally enable to click it, and on top of that the assignments don’t even show up. You’d think with all these glitches you’ll be able at least use the website version but NO You have to use the app. I’m failing Spanish because everytime I even press the document it crashes. Fix your app so I can fix my life.

**Developer response:** Hi LeMar! We care about your experience and it would help us if you specified the issues you experienced with the app.

### 1/5 — I hate this app

*2020-09-01, version 3.35*

It’s not user friendly and our school made us get this it continues to notify you even if you already seen it and most of our assignments we can never click on them

### 1/5 — Waste of money

*2020-08-25, version 3.35*

My school made me buy this for a class when literally any other free software would work fine, there is no reason to ever purchase this service.

### 1/5 — Worthless

*2020-07-09, version 3.35*

This app is extremely annoying and in your face. It’s complicated to navigate and even harder to cancel your subscription.

### 1/5 — Only bought because my professor required it... terrible app

*2020-03-05*

This app worked about 50% of the time. Automatic renewal design makes no sense and seems like a way to scam money from students. Support was not helpful or willing to offer a refund after automatically charging my account even though I never used it after one semester. Would rate 0 stars if I could.

**Developer response:** Thank you for your feedback, and we apologize for the inconvenience. However, we send out several reminders to all users with instructions to unsubscribe. We have refunded all past users and we will gladly help you too.

### 1/5 — Trash!!!!

*2020-02-04*

This educational software is absolutely horrible. Definitely not worth $7 for a subscription. I wouldn’t even spend a penny on it but my professor makes us use it to get class points. I have had technical difficulties ever since I started using the app. If I am logged in on my computer I have to reset my password before I can log in on the app and it’s a 50/50 chance of logging in then. Just absolute trash!

### 1/5 — Piss poor

*2019-09-05, version 3.20*

My professor made me pay $7 for an app that doesn’t work. It crashes when he takes attendance or makes a poll.

### 3/5 — Charged without notice

*2019-08-04*

I would like to know how to cancel my subscription to this app and delete my account since it is not use to me now....

### 1/5 — The worst.

*2018-11-11, version 3.10*

Always something wrong with Campus Knot.

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Not getting notifications

*2024-09-16, version 4.36*

I do not get notifications when polls and assignments open or close so I miss a lot of points because my professor does not announce when he opens them

### 1/5 — SCAM.

*2023-12-25, version 4.22*

Wants to make money off college kids.

### 1/5 — Stop asking me for a review

*2023-09-07, version 4.18*

🤪

### 1/5 — This app stinks

*2022-11-17, version 4.06*

Campusknot is the most useless app in the history of apps. I had to get this l for my microeconomics class and it’s a waste of $20.

### 1/5 — Unsubscribing

*2022-09-17*

It is intentionally difficult to unsubscribe from this service. There are no pages in the app on how to do it and no way to do it in the app. You can’t even unsubscribe from a phone on the web browser. You have to do it on a desktop. I found this after realizing I had been charged for this for not just four semesters unnecessarily, but two winter terms as well. The app is bad and they seem intent on keeping people subscribed to make money instead of making a useful education app.

**Developer response:** Thank you for taking the time to send🛫 feedback our way! I apologize for the recent experience you had with the new interface. Our team continuously looks for ways to improve; your feedback is important to us. Please email us at support@campusknot.com with your .edu email address and the semesters you used our services to take care of your refund. 

We recently launched a new software version that no longer supports subscriptions. We hope to hear from you soon.

### 1/5 — Wish I never had to get this app

*2022-01-26*

I went back to delete the app and profile just a day ago, and was charged for an additional semester. I never approved of any purchase and had accessed the app on my phone.

**Developer response:** Hello! We appreciate your feedback 📮. I apologize for the recent experience you had with the new interface. We recently launched a new software version that no longer supports subscriptions. Please email us at support@campusknot.com with your .edu email address to take care of your refund.  -The CampusKnot Team

### 1/5 — most confusing and inconvenient app

*2021-07-27*

Have been trying to cancel my subscription for a long time and it could not be a more difficult experience, I do not recommend.

**Developer response:** Hi @amere11! We are sorry to hear you have been experiencing issues with our new interface. Our new interface/ mobile application does not support subscriptions. Please email us at support@campusknot.com with your .edu email address to take care of your refund. -The CampusKnot Team

### 1/5 — Crash

*2021-07-07*

I have a singular assignment that I need to work on and I was hoping to use the app. However, given that it crashes literally every time I open the comments, I would say it won’t work. Very poor functioning app.

### 1/5 — Waste of Money

*2021-02-18*

I have absolutely no idea why there is a mobile version of this app. I’m paying for nothing .. every time I click on the app within ten seconds I’m kicked out of it. I’ve even tried logging in on a friends phone and the same thing. I contacted the help service which only told me to delete and download again which I’d already tried several times but I have it another shot. It still didn’t help and the help service stop responding. I’ve messaged three times since and still no response. What’s the purpose of an app especially one you pay for if it doesn’t even work and the help service ignores you.

**Developer response:** Hi there! I apologize for the inconvenience. Would you mind emailing us at support@campusknot.com so we can solve this issue for you? 

We definitely want to make sure you are getting your money’s 💰 worth.  We noticed some users had experienced some log in issues with the version 3.37. We have solved this problem inside version 3.38. However, please let us know, if you're still experiencing this. We hope to hear from you soon.

### 1/5 — A serious waste of money

*2021-01-31*

This app is not worth the monthly subscription fee. It isn’t user friendly and half of the time the basic functions don’t work. Its also really annoying that it logs you out all of the time yet it doesn’t let you log in on the app. If it wasn’t part of my grade I wouldn’t use it.

**Developer response:** Hi Abby! Thank you for bringing this issue to our attention. We want to make sure you are getting the most out of the app. Would you mind sending us an email at support@campusknot.com. We have a couple of questions in terms of the app version you are using. 

We hope to hear from you soon and would love your feedback,

### 5/5 — Best option

*2022-11-28*

I think Campusknot was honestly the best option for class interaction. It has a great UI that allows for setting time limits and word count limits. It works great when used in tandem with canvas.

**Developer response:** Hi there! Thank you for sharing, the bugs you are referring to should be fixed in our version 3.11, we encourage you to update the Campusknot app. Let us know if there's anything else we can do to help at support@campusknot.com

### 5/5 — Macro class

*2022-11-28, version 4.06*

CampusKnot is easy to use and convenient.
 I have enjoyed being able to see everyone’s answers throughout the semester.

### 5/5 — Awesome application.

*2022-11-23, version 4.06*

It’s really good application for connect with class and make things easier.

### 5/5 — Chem 101

*2022-05-25*

Honestly Campus knot made this class more engaging! I've taken the same instructor for two semesters in a row and this has been by far the most fun one. I think the competition based polls to earn rewards was my favorite part of class.

### 5/5 — Mgt

*2020-12-20*

Used it for my business class. As an engineering major, this app made this class a lot more enjoyable. I have used other apps in class before and overall campus knot did was it was supposed to do. Very affordable and straightforward.

### 5/5 — Great App!

*2020-09-05*

Really enjoyed the apps simplicity and how easy it was to operate. A few technical issues, but company’s tech team were all super helpful & friendly! Definitely would recommend after being useful for my psychology class and will be using again!

### 5/5 — Pretty decent

*2020-04-29*

It made taking attendance and communicating with my teacher a lot easier!!

**Developer response:** Thank you for the feedback! We are happy to hear you were able to contact your instructor easier with Campusknot🎉

### 5/5 — Quite helpfull

*2018-12-05, version 3.10*

I get anxious, before asking questions in class and this is by far the first app I have used where I can ask questions during class time anonymously without feeling nervous or anxious.

### 5/5 — Impressed by the service

*2018-12-05, version 3.10*

The glitches were annoying but getting in the phone with the campusknot customer service representative was probably the most helpful thing.

### 5/5 — Does what it’s supposed to do!

*2018-12-05*

I like how easy it is to use. Helps with class discussion and makes taking attendance so much easier! Definitely helps with students working on projects.
