Annoying bug

everytime you tab out the app, or if it you experience even the most minor connective issues, it logs you out of your session and resets your entire process. talk about being annoying.

App crashes unexpectedly mid-lesson

This app is so frustrating. It worked fairly well for a while and now it just crashes unexpectedly when my kids are in the middle of a lesson. So then they have to start over. The app won’t stop crashing now, even though it’s up to date, so we can’t use it anymore. We’re also really frustrated at the abundance of YouTube ads that are coming during lessons with YT videos. We didn’t used to have ads pop up. Now the kids have to watch 30-50 seconds of ads (not always age-appropriate) before they can watch a 5 minute embedded YT video.

It’s great besides a few things

I love Nearpod even though it is great for math it’s sometimes laggy and when I play games on Nearpod it kicks me off.

Do not buy or use

not suitable for children this word has very innapropriate images and words. Also ear rape

Renaissance Seems to Have Ruined It

Functionality and reliability of the app have really gone downhill since Renaissance took over. New layout is terrible.
