### 3/5 — Review

*2019-08-24, version 4.7*

I think the app could be better if you could make your slides private without paying. I don’t like how my haiku decks slides showed up on my profile when you look up my name.

### 2/5 — Terrible financial model!

*2018-12-22, version 4.7*

Decent idea of quick and easy presentation drafter (make no mistakes, expect little from this app). It is plagued with a non user friendly, almost predatory pricing scheme. Who thought subscription model, with this type of steep pricing no less, was a good idea for a basic pres deck creator?!

### 4/5 — Great

*2018-11-14, version 4.7*

Great app for capturing student thinking.

### 1/5 — Iphone se issues

*2017-11-15, version 4.6*

I'm having some bad scaling issues on my iPhone se, i wish you can fix it soon

### 1/5 — Can't really be trusted

*2017-09-27, version 4.5*

Did an entire deck for class in the morning. It's POOF...gone. App is so nice, don't mind paying for something that is functional and looks good but this, no. It's not functional. I lost all of my work and now I have to do it all again. It's going to take FOREVER...back already is killing me from sitting up n doing this.....tired...its getting late and the app, lost my deck..really...nice...

### 1/5 — Ridiculously slow

*2017-04-14, version 4.3.2*

Even with super fast fibre optic broadband, it took over 90 or so seconds to load up to 4 of the 9 images the initial 'deck' presents you with. Less than 90 seconds later the app was deleted.

### 5/5 — So easy

*2017-03-10, version 4.2*

This app makes making a slide show so easy. I can create a quick vocabulary lesson for my students over recess, with really fun pictures!

### 4/5 — Bring Back the free image search feature

*2017-02-24, version 4.2*

Bring back

### 1/5 — So slow

*2017-02-18, version 4.2*

So slow, frustrating, gave up trying to use it

### 2/5 — Please return the image search feature.

*2017-02-09, version 4.2*

I used to use this app all the time, but now the feature is broken, or they took away the free image search feature and you have to pay for it now, monthly, please bring back the free image search.

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — This app doesn’t care about your privacy.

*2021-04-01, version 4.7*

I had this app for a school project years ago and it breached my security and now every time anyone googles my name they see pictures of me from when I was 11. It is totally unprofessional and ridiculous for this app to not even consider or get back to me on the countless times I’ve contacted them to take the images down. The email used for the account doesn’t even exist anymore and I have no way of entering it in. Please help me I will change the review I just don’t want this to be in my life anymore. I hate this app they’ve ruined many opportunities for me by breaching my privacy. It will never go away. Don't trust them with your information!!! Will save you your life.

### 1/5 — Impossible to figure out

*2020-06-20, version 4.7*

Skip it

### 1/5 — Absolute garbage

*2020-03-16, version 4.7*

Tried and cancelled within 24 hours Haiku Pro for $19.99. Noticed that one paragraph disappeared on my newly created deck. Then another page dropped. Next day I got a welcome email with some tips from co-founder “Adam.” I replied and got a “Adam is no longer with the company” reply. It said contact support@haikdeck.-com. I did and that email bounced back. I noticed that the idiots can’t write an email address. THEN CANCELLED MY SUBSCRIPTION AND GOT ITUNES REFUND.

### 1/5 — Couldn’t try it due to poor UX

*2020-02-21, version 4.7*

I downloaded this app to try it out. I couldn’t get past the first screen because they require you to register first. Of course I immediately exited the app to write about my experience. I guess we will never know if this app is any good.

### 1/5 — Other than the images it’s very limited

*2019-10-09, version 4.7*

Yet another underhanded app that ticks away unnoticed taking your money for what is essentially a glorified stock image service. Thanks for using your weasel tactics to fleece me out of quite a lot of cash ($30AUD a month!!!). I will be more careful using the ‘14 days free’ option in future

### 1/5 — Disappointing and got charged despite cancelling

*2019-07-18, version 4.7*

Quite buggy and when you transfer presentations to PowerPoint they don’t look as good as they do in Haiku, e.g. no animations are transferred and the fonts are different.

Account management also useless. I cancelled my account but was still charged for the subscription.

### 1/5 — Don’t waste your time

*2019-07-10, version 4.7*

You can’t change the font size, you can’t add footnotes, and you can’t submit to Schoology unless you pay $19.99 monthly for Pro. Worst app I’ve ever used. I’m begging you, DON’T GET THE APP

### 1/5 — needing pro to share, not cool

*2019-02-24, version 4.7*

used to be a great app. but the pro feature for pay makes it useless otherwise.

### 1/5 — Worst app EVER!

*2018-10-24, version 4.6*

So that app made me pay for my subscription even though I cancelled it!! Don’t waste a coin on this, it will never give it back to you!!

### 1/5 — The worse on I have tried

*2018-08-29, version 4.6*

How is it possible that an presentation app unable to change the size of a photo or a text, and full of bugs.......
I won’t use it except my teacher keep pushing me doing it.

It is so good

### 5/5 — This app saved my life

*2018-03-17, version 4.6*

Great for last minute presentations! Helped me get the job done and look like a total pro the night before my conference. Worth the subscription price just for the high quality photos alone. I also love that I can download in pptx format for viewing and editing in Keynote and PowerPoint.

### 5/5 — Haiku deck

*2018-01-15, version 4.6*

Good for presentations but nothing ever comes for free. As soon as it costs money it spoils everything. I will still try to be creative but within my limited use of the application because of financial constraints.

### 5/5 — Brilliant

*2017-07-18, version 4.3.5*

This tool makes anyone look brilliant in presentations.

### 5/5 — Haiku
