Ads are minimal and easy to ignore (have not tried the premium version.) The only glitch I have found is that the microphone and camera must be turned on AFTER the session is established. Neither can be set to be “always on.” **Developer response:** Thanks for your feedback. We have updated Participant to include an option under Settings > Advanced where you can have your camera and mic turned on by default. ### 4/5 — Weed *2026-01-03, version 4.4* I would have let that guy share his story… ### 5/5 — Easy no fuss *2025-12-10* The meetings are fun. I worry not about who assumes my content is different. The fact it is it’s easy. It’s smooth it’s private. It’s no worrying no head scratching no wondering what will go wrong it is just smooth participant to smooth and if it works as it does forever. I’ll be grateful. Thank you nothing like ### 5/5 — Megh *2025-12-09* Ranade ### 2/5 — Newest Version is Worst *2025-11-23* 4.3.8 is a joke. I have a Mac Mini M4 and there are two (one is very crucial) things that do not work: You cannot change the appearance of the app icon to a different color no matter what and when you go into a Room, your camera is SIDEWAYS! WTH?!?! I’m using a Logitech Webcam C925e and unless I want people to see me right side up, I have to turn my webcam on its side. WHAT THE ….?!?!?! Please explain this one. **Developer response:** Sorry that the camera is not working for you. We do not build Participant specifically for the Mac, we only make it available as a convenience for those that need it. We recommend running it on iOS or iPadOS. The issue is probably related to the way the Zoom SDK handles your custom camera, because we have not seen this issue with built-in cameras on MacBooks. Sorry again. Please get in touch by email if you need assistance with a refund: info@thinktapwork.com ### 3/5 — Wedding *2025-08-16, version 4.2.6* I expected much better. The sound was awful, the camera very bad. Saw the back of a girls head for the entire wedding. Just awful. I will never do a zoom again. ### 5/5 — 👍🏽 *2025-08-06, version 4.2.4* Excelente aplicación ### 5/5 — 3rd Party Zoom App it 1st rate! *2025-07-21* It’s easy & convenient. Everything you need to connect with your friends, group chats, family, business meetings etc. Works like a charm! ### 3/5 — Uncle *2025-06-23, version 4.2.1* Not too sure, but you do theppppppp ### 5/5 — Meeting Controls *2025-06-21* I love this app. Works well never any problems. The only option I see that it doesn't have and I wish it had was the option to remove the meeting Controls off the screen or at least move them around but being able to remove them off the screen would be best. Does it already have that option and I just don't know about it? Feedback would be great! **Developer response:** Thank you for the suggestion. That is not currently an option but something we are considering. ### 5/5 — Muy buena aplicación para los niños y los grandes *2025-06-09, version 4.2.1* Buena aplicación para todos ### 4/5 — Great *2025-05-19, version 4.1.9* I have not had any problems with the app. I’ve been using it for 6 months and I haven’t had any problems with it. ### 4/5 — Good *2025-05-13, version 4.1.7* I think it’s good I do mettings with my teacher and it’s a good way to cuomunicate ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Freezes *2026-02-03* The app freezes on single view windows. Poor resolution. Looks like dial up. ### 1/5 — Does not work *2025-11-12, version 4.3.6* App let me in the waiting room then would not let me in the meeting ### 1/5 — Very bad *2025-08-13, version 4.2.5* Why cannot turn on data saver without paying?-this is a very bad function. And on top of that to change our background you need to pay as well. If this is meant to be an app for meetings there simply can’t be like this. Money scam. (I didn’t buy ‘premium’ because it was a scam). ### 1/5 — Scam *2025-07-28* Scam **Developer response:** We’re sorry to see your review and would like to understand your experience better.

The instructions work for the free version but not for the paid for - participant 3rd party app. Sorely, disappointed. ### 1/5 — Pants *2025-03-04* No idea how you sign up for this. It’s gives a sign in option, but not sign up **Developer response:** You can create a Zoom account on their website: zoom.us ### 1/5 — Cancel the trial on day 3 *2025-02-06, version 4.0.8* Unsubscribe ### 1/5 — Automatically charges *2025-01-30, version 4.0.7* This is a vacuum for your money.
