Forced to use. ### 1/5 — Pay *2026-01-14, version 7.6* Needs subscription as if im not paying my organs for university already pls bfr ### 1/5 — Bad App Does NOT WORK *2026-01-13, version 7.6* Your app’s location function is broken… this app made me fail my class. Waste of money that doesn’t even work properly. ### 2/5 — unnecessarily expensive *2026-01-09, version 7.6* it works, does the job it’s supposed to, but too expensive for an app that just collects answers. there is no option for a 3-month subscription, the minimum length is 6 months, and again is overly expensive. ### 1/5 — Absolutely horrendous *2025-11-10, version 7.6* If you get a new phone the data does not transfer to the new one, it stays in the old phone meaning that you are now absent for all previous classes you were present in. ### 1/5 — Horrible *2025-10-09, version 7.5* It keeps miscalculating my attendance and points! It’s so annoying! ### 1/5 — Unfunctional glitchy app *2025-09-25, version 7.5* Also doesn’t submit your answer if you don’t click enter which I think is dumb. Overall lost so many points from this dumb app bugging ### 1/5 — Kahoot rip off but make it insanely overpriced *2025-09-24, version 7.5* Trash. University is already very expensive why am I paying just to have the software and then for a subscription??? ### 1/5 — Laggy and terrible to use. *2025-09-24, version 7.5* It is straight up a bad app. If college professors does not use this app, no one on earth will use it. Maybe there is a sponsorship going on idk. The only purpose of this app is for taking attendance. Nothing productive actually happens in this app. ### 1/5 — Literal Scam *2025-09-12, version 7.5* I paid for a 6-month subscription, and it ‘forgot’. This apparently isn’t a single incident, either; multiple classmates shared my problem. Also, free multiple-choice and essay-answer software exists, so this is useless even if it worked. ### 1/5 — Greedy and Dumb *2025-09-10, version 7.5* I can’t believe I have to pay a subscription for something that is objectively so freaking simple- I genuinely think that this company is so greedy to make the lifetime purchase so expensive for an app that is literally kahoot but for adults ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work *2025-09-08, version 7.5* We have to use this app for attendance, but the after logging in the app is a blank white screen and doesn’t do anything. ### 1/5 — Never Use *2025-09-08, version 7.5* So I’m currently attending a college that is extremely money hungry. When you have to pay for your own college along with extra etextbooks and APPS LIKE THIS??? Gang… why we taking attendance on this app?? It’ll say I’m absent, but I’m fr in the app/class. Teachers please do not use this app. 😠😠😠😠😠😠😠😠 ### 1/5 — Bad app *2025-08-29, version 7.5* Awful app ### 1/5 — This costs money? *2025-08-28, version 7.5* An amazon’s $10 remote does more than this app. If you want money, ask the universities instead of poor students. ### 1/5 — Terrible *2025-06-04, version 7.3* Very buggy. ### 1/5 — Annoying *2025-02-24, version 7.2* very infuriating and inefficient app ### 1/5 — WHY CHARGE for a subscription???? *2025-02-21, version 7.2* As a college student this app is NECESSARY for classes as professors choose to use them for quizzes. WHY have a needless free trial and then make students pay ?? it’s quite literally infuriating and another financial burden no student should endure. This app used to not have subscriptions. Extremely disappointed and furious. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — spyware *2026-08-31, version 8.2.1* spyware ### 1/5 — This app sucks *2026-08-28, version 8.2.1* I hate this app. I get questions wrong ### 1/5 — I can’t skip *2026-08-26, version 8.2.1* I hate iclicker ### 1/5 — Trash and expensive software *2026-08-24, version 8.2.1* Need to buy the remote then a subscription for a pos device ### 1/5 — Horrible App *2026-04-01, version 7.7.1* Super glitchy, doesn’t give me attendance, bought a physical remote and didn’t get my five years free subscription. Complete scam, professors please do not make students pay for this. ### 1/5 — Terrible *2026-03-23, version 7.7.1* The whole concept of this is a scam and rips students off for the most basic software that should be free. Also sometimes the app doesn’t load during class so I get marked absent. Terrible concept for a company that literally makes a ton of money by somehow swindling schools to get all their students to buy this. ### 1/5 — Squeezing every dime *2026-02-11, version 7.6* Another terrible service designed to take money from college students when free alternatives exist. You’d be better off using kahoot. ### 1/5 — I hate iClicker *2026-01-29, version 7.6* This app sucks. Delete pls. ### 1/5 — An Enemy of the People *2026-01-21, version 7.6* In theory, iclicker could be a great academic tool. In practice, it’s deeply unreliable. When your grade depends on every correct answer and the app won’t load the question or repeatedly loses connection costing you multiple marks every class, a visceral hatred begins to fester. There must be a more reliable way for universities to assess students, rather than relying on an app that doesn’t always reflect a student’s understanding and instead penalizes them for internet or technical issues that are out of their control. ### 1/5 — I hate you *2026-01-14, version 7.6* I hate iClicker ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Phys *2026-09-01, version 8.2.1* I like this app ### 5/5 — Great alternative to dumb physical clicker *2025-04-09, version 7.3* Love using this and it’s so much better than the $55 remote that some classes require ### 5/5 — I LOVE ICLICKING *2025-01-14, version 7.1* Every time I come to class I look forward to iClicker questions. The app is so easy to use and great way to engage in the content. ### 5/5 — Favorite app *2024-02-21, version 6.6.3* Only game on my phone. Thrilling to use in class ☺️ ### 5/5 — D *2022-09-27, version 6.4.1* SO GREAT ### 5/5 — Its sick *2022-09-19, version 6.4.1* Nice and nice layout ### 5/5 — Logan wrong💀💀😭 *2022-09-09, version 6.4* Logan got them all wrong! Not me!!!💀 ### 5/5 — It’s amazing *2021-09-10, version 6.2.2* Honestly a life changing physics tool, I cannot explain how much joy this brought ### 5/5 — Great to look back at questions and feel like I’m part of the class, even when we are all online. *2020-11-12* I really like this over the physical remote in that it I can take time to think about the question knowing I have a copy of it to refer back to later. ### 5/5 — Eng *2020-01-24, version 5.7.1* This is great. Forces me to go to class! --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
