### 1/5 — Frustrated

*2026-02-05, version 4.5.5*

I used to use this two years ago. Trying to use it again but the app won’t open. Keeps closing when I click open. There is no update showing up. Is this a defunct app now?  I liked using it.

### 5/5 — Literally life saving!!

*2025-12-20, version 4.5.5*

When I say I might have quit my job without this app, I mean it!! I teacher 6 classes everyday (200 kids in total) so grading all their work takes forever! Plickers cuts my grading time by 2/3 and gives me instant data on what kids know and don’t know. It’s a must have for any stressed out teacher!!!

### 5/5 — Amazing Customer Service!

*2025-02-12, version 4.5.5*

Been using Plickers for a while now and love it within my classroom. However I’m writing this review to give a special shoutout to the support team, who go above and beyond.
Great app, useful product and great, helpful support team. All you could ask for! 
Thank you to support agent Joe!

### 2/5 — Message kept popping up

*2023-05-01, version 4.5.5*

Use to enjoy using this APP with students last year. Tried bringing it back to classroom this year however can’t sign in through APP. A message asking me to continue kept popping up and disappearing as if glitched.
I tried uninstalling and installing, did not solve the problem.

### 5/5 — Updated review

*2022-12-07, version 4.5.5*

Update: it’s working now like before! Awesome. My students really liked it!

I haven’t used this app in awhile but was going to have my ESL students answer questions to engage them in answering without computers. I made sure I had all updates on app and phone and it won’t open. Just crashes from start. Can’t use.

### 4/5 — Bug fixes

*2022-10-12, version 4.5.5*

Bug fixes are still needed. During scanning (camera) mode the app will often exit the mode early before I can scan in all the card. There should be a way to recover from this (reactivate the question).

### 3/5 — The Android App Works Better Thank iOS

*2022-08-20, version 4.5.5*

When I used this for the first time in class, there were a lot of delays between my app and what was showing up on the projector from my coteacher’s computer. When I moved to the next question on my phone, it didn’t move on the projector for students. My coteacher uses an Android and her phone had a much faster connection to send commands to project percentage correct and other data to students.

### 2/5 — Keeps crashing!!!!!

*2021-12-13, version 4.5.5*

I love to use this for my exit tickets in the classroom, however it crashes every other day. I have to consistently delete and download onto my phone in order for it to work.

### 4/5 — I’d love to be able to zoom in!

*2021-05-06, version 4.3.2*

I love the app but there are times when students are a bit far away. Please update where you can pinch and zoom to get closer! Thanks Plickers

### 1/5 — Do itt

*2020-12-29, version 4.3.1*

Bring back the old Plickers
