### 1/5 — Can’t log in

*2019-10-09, version 1.5.2*

I can’t log in !!!! Please update it for the new IOS !!

### 1/5 — Glitchy

*2019-10-07*

Keeps logging me out and now I can’t log back in! Continues to load until pigs fly. I haven’t sent my assets and now I’m worried that they’re gone.

### 1/5 — Unreliable

*2019-10-05, version 1.5.2*

Poor user interface and very glitchy. Doesn’t always save your work. Log in page has a bug so can’t log in now. Have a deadline to upload work through this app for uni!! Not impressed.

### 1/5 — Grrrrrr....

*2017-03-20*

Oh pebble pad, how I loathe thee. The computer version is clunky and painful, and this app is worse. Shuts down randomly, 'saves not saves', logs itself off then requires logging over and over at every step... You guys must have a fantastic marketing team to have sold this crud to just about every uni in Australia. So I guess you're doing something well. How about putting the same energy into creating an intuitive, user friendly program?

### 1/5 — Worst portfolio software ever!!

*2016-12-12, version 1.1.8*

I am forced to do this because of the University course I'm on. It is the worst designed and on reliable software I have ever used. My main gripe of many is that you can click save 100,000 times but you can never guarantee that he has actually saved. It really is just luck of the draw. 

Avoid using this software at all costs.

### 1/5 — A piece of garbage

*2016-03-27, version 1.1.4*

Doesnt even sync with pebblepad on your computer what a waste of time

### 1/5 — Bugs

*2016-03-08*

Keeps logging out. Needs fixing ASAP

### 1/5 — Useless

*2016-03-05*

Doesn't remain logged in and will log out half way through projects, also won't let you log in and then return to the start up page, completely useless, better off sticking to the laptop.

### 1/5 — CSP

*2015-02-09, version 1.0*

As a member of the Chartered Society of Physiotherapists (CSP) I have access to (and use) PebblePad.. Why can't I log on through the CSP?

### 1/5 — Horrible apps

*2026-02-13, version 1.9.4*

The is the worst apps I have used for uni. So glitchy to use and complicated.

### 1/5 — The worst thing to happen to learning

*2025-07-11, version 1.9.4*

The software itself it so hard to use, you haven’t just got to learn PebblePocket but PebblePad as well and neither of them are easy to navigate or use. Working with a student from different uni who’s uni reject pebble because it’s too complicated and stuck to paper. What this means is they can give their paper pad to their mentor and the mentor can fill it in, at their leisure. You can’t do that with Pebble meaning effectively I have an extra 2000 word essay to do each year. My mentor also has no idea where I’m up to or what’s going on.

### 1/5 — Junk

*2025-02-22, version 1.9.4*

The App is junk and will delete your assets and forget what uni you are at within an hour.

### 1/5 — Rubbish

*2024-10-02, version 1.9.2*

Why use it

### 1/5 — Safe area

*2021-10-28, version 1.7.4*

Writing this as it’s been years and the team still hasn’t fixed the iPhone navigation bar overlapping UI elements.

It takes literally 10 seconds to implement a safe area in accordance with Apple design guidelines.

### 1/5 — Can no longer log in

*2021-06-01, version 1.7.4*

Cannot log into pebble pocket any longer. Really not helpful as I’m entering the 3rd year of my degree and all of my CPD so far is on pebblepad. As part of the course we had to use it. Absolutely awful, not in the slightest bit user friendly. Very convoluted for what should be a simple & straightforward app.

### 1/5 — Horrific

*2020-09-25, version 1.7.0*

Had to use this for the past 4/5 years and resented every second of it. Glitchy, unusable, can’t copy and paste into boxes, randomly deletes work etc. I think my dead grandma could optimise a better app

### 1/5 — Worst app doesn’t even come close

*2020-05-24, version 1.6.0*

Pebble pad is one of the most useless apps and a huge waste of money. It’s basically Word and Powerpoint done wrong. It shouldn’t even exist. So to make it easy just get Microsoft and use that, don't waste your time and resources on this.

### 1/5 — Terrible app.

*2019-12-02, version 1.5.3*

The app crashes whilst using and doesn’t automatically save so all work gets lost. You also can’t copy and paste into pebble pocket so you can’t even safeguard your work on another app like notes and and copy paste the content into the boxes.

### 1/5 — Lazy

*2019-11-08, version 1.5.3*

Lazily designed app, poor responsiveness, glitches out and corrupts saved assets. Disappointing given it’s used by medical schools.

### 5/5 — Good

*2026-07-26*

Does what is needed in regards to placement. Timesheets are easy to fill in.

### 5/5 — Very epic

*2022-01-12, version 1.7.4*

SUIIIIIIIIIIII

### 5/5 — Awesome

*2020-09-10, version 1.7.0*

Seamless way to capture learning evidence on the go!

### 5/5 — Pebble Pocket seamlessly simply!

*2016-10-28, version 1.1.8*

I have been testing this portfolio/learning platform for a number of months now and I have say it wins where all other similar offerings fail.

Pebble Pocket allows simply artefact acquisition from video or photo as evidence. 

It's ability to record and upload posts, in a number of different styles of reflection and experience based activities and competencies is so easy it makes capturing your CPD and experiences so easy!

You can choose to save to device or upload depending on your connection and once uploaded you get a confirmation email!

The ease of use and simplicity of this app makes it a 5* for me.  It has improved my recording and showcasing of my experiences.

### 2/5 — Clunky

*2023-08-11*

Please fix some basic things like constantly logging out and forgetting settings preferences. Also, uploading images one by one is very slow.

### 2/5 — app

*2023-02-08*

convenient but unable to move cursor and correct spelling errors easily, unable to add single or multiple photos after writing a post, would be great if those could be added 

difficult to login with Alumni accounts

### 2/5 — :(

*2019-10-31, version 1.5.3*

Very glitchy- closes down and doesn’t save what I’ve been doing so far. Also takes a while to register finger taps.

### 2/5 — Why is there limited orientation?

*2015-03-12, version 1.0*

I just downloaded pebblepocket for my iPad, only to find that the app only works on portrait orientation not landscape! Really frustrating.
