I can teach completely from my tablet…except for iclicker. This one app limitation means I have to still lug a laptop. Very disappointing. ### 1/5 — Utterly useless *2021-12-15* Can't start or stop a session with this app, nor can I view or edit attendence. I can't even change settings for my classes. Not sure what the purpose of this app is, because it seemingly can't do anything useful. ### 1/5 — Useless for attendance *2021-09-23* Only for controlling polls. Cannot start a session for attendance or track live attendance. ### 1/5 — Split view does not work *2021-09-17* Please fix the app so that it can be used in split view. Otherwise it is useless. ### 1/5 — What *2019-08-29* This app makes no sense and contains no help whatsoever ### 1/5 — Useless *2018-09-06* You can’t start a polling session from this app; requires the desktop app. Makes this quite pointless. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — No Create Account? *2026-08-25* Actually no way to use this app ### 1/5 — Institutional account not recognized *2026-08-12* I cannot login using the app as it says my (institutional) account does not exist! I see people have been complaining about this for at least 2 years - so there is no excuse for this lack of functionality! ### 1/5 — Won’t log in *2025-09-16* My university has a subscription to iClicker. On the web, the login portal allows me to choose my university and log in using my university credentials. There's no such thing on the app. It requires the user/pswd, and I enter them it says wrong. ### 1/5 — The one you're looking for is iClicker Student. This one does not work *2024-09-18* Title ### 1/5 — Update this!! *2024-02-09* For universities that have integrated their security systems to authenticate within iclicker, there is NO WAY to log into this app. There is a tap-down box you can use to scroll for your school on the website. There is no such option in the app. This would seem to be an important fix for faculty operating under institutional licenses, worth a lot of your annual revenue? Please update app to address this sign-on issue…. ### 1/5 — Authentication issue *2023-04-04* Instructors who need to use authentication to log on cannot use this app. Please fix!!! ### 1/5 — Doesn’t even work to control a session *2023-03-29* As others have commented, this app cannot be used to run an iClicker survey on its own. Even worse it crashes frequently on my iPad during classes even when I’m just trying to control a session that’s running on my laptop. I’ve given up. IClicker needs to come up with something better than this. ### 1/5 — Totally useless *2022-09-21* To use this app you must first start a polling session using the desktop app, which makes this mobile app completely redundant and useless. Astonishingly bad design. ### 1/5 — Useless *2022-08-14* I Don’t understand the purpose of this app. You can’t do anything useful from it. You must use desktop to take attendance. ### 1/5 — Can’t Start a Session from the App *2022-02-09* Agree with everyone else. The app is pretty useless since you can’t actually start a session from it. You have to use a PC. ## Most praised reviews (4 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — This is helpful *2021-08-31* Now I can afk in roblox and get rich boi ### 5/5 — Easy *2019-08-20* Easily controls presentation and polling! This is for the instructor only. ### 3/5 — Cannot run a session from the app *2021-10-05* If you’re teaching from a tablet (which I think many of us do now, for a number of reasons), you cannot use the tablet to launch iclicker sessions, instead have to launch on a computer. Adding that functionality would be a big improvement. ### 2/5 — Not fully functional *2021-08-20* Yes you can use this to stop and start clicker questions. But it cannot start a clicker session for your class (for that you still need the desktop client). Also it does not appear to be able to connect to a clicker base station. So if you are teaching in person on an iPad, it is not that useful and you still need to have your laptop there too. But I guess that you could at least walk around the room and can start/stop questions from your mobile device. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
