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. ### 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 ### 2/5 — Great idea, terrible execution *2019-09-23, version 4.2* I have a love hate relationship with Plickers. It’s an excellent idea and it scans flawlessly. You can arrange questions in folders BUT when you want to make a quiz you have to choose from ALL questions lumped together at once! You can’t do it in advance. It is a nightmare. Sure, now they’ve added a paywall so you can actually group your questions into sets. I literally just gave my students a quiz on the wrong chapter because this app is so awful in execution. Thanks “we will always be free” Plickers. I’d pay upfront for this—I even paid for laminated cards, but I’m not paying monthly for an app that does one thing. Don’t waste your time. There are better solutions. ### 2/5 — Update broke so many parts. Disappointed. *2019-04-12, version 4.1* I was excited to try Plickers in my courses after seeing at a workshop, and initially they worked really well. The students enjoyed seeing the results appear immediately, and the results were easy to incorporate into grades. The new update, however, broke what was working so well. The new question format has tiny answers that are difficult to read even right near the screen, the images are cut off when displaying from an iPad (which has no landscape mode), and students can no longer see their card register as scanned (so I miss some of them). To top this off, today the questions were displaying with the correct answer obviously selected (the letter was highlighted). No longer fun or useful - I will sadly put away my printed cards and shelve plans to invest in laminated versions. ### 4/5 — A very good app that just got worse. *2019-03-03, version 4.0* The old version of this app did an excellent job. You could take class quizzes with ease and the class data was easy to access. The new version stops you reviewing the class. You have to look at each question individually. Much less efficient. Shame the old version was very good. ### 1/5 — Can't log in *2019-02-26, version 4.0* My email address has a hyphen and it keeps giving me an error telling me to enter a valid email address ### 1/5 — App crashing on iPhone *2019-02-18, version 4.0* Recently I’ve started having issues with the app crashing. I love using plickers, but it doesn’t always work. Sometimes it will crash repeatedly until I delete the app and re-download it. Now I can’t get it to work even when doing that. Please help! ### 1/5 — How do you create at quiz or add students *2019-02-13, version 4.0* At the bottom I click classes and it say demo class and at the bottom of that page it says students and I go on that and it is a blank screen if anyone knows how to make the quiz and add students please let me know (on iPhone) ### 1/5 — Great - Before *2019-02-03, version 4.0* This is an awesome tool! However since the update I cannot use my phone to scan cards. I click on the app and the app immediately shuts off. :(. ### 1/5 — Loved the old version/ hate the new one *2019-01-11, version 4.0* Wish I could figure out how to use the old version. This version is less effective for the way I use it. ### 1/5 — Horrific New Version *2019-01-06, version 4.0* New version is so bad it is hard to grasp. So hard to navigate the new layout and can only create 5 questions before it asks you to upgrade to Pro for $9 per month !!!!! Sure you could make a question one at a time but it opens a new tab every time. This used to be a reliable way to get great formative assessment so sad to see what it has become. ### 2/5 — App won’t let me add classes or questions *2019-01-05, version 4.0* There are no options to add classes, print cards, add questions, etc. ### 2/5 — Disappointing after the update *2018-12-14, version 4.0* A lot more confusing after the update, hard to navigate. It’s unfortunate it had to be updated. ### 1/5 — Terrible update *2018-12-07, version 4.0* I need to be able to see what my students are getting wrong. I need to know which answer choice they’re selecting so that I know who says what. I need to be able to make questions on the fly. For example if I want to see how students feel about something or I ask a question that I didn’t plan for I need to be able to create it. Honestly this is such a hugger problem and inconvenience that it’s hardly even worth using them because I can’t get real time data. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 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. ### 1/5 — Do itt *2020-12-29, version 4.3.1* Bring back the old Plickers ### 1/5 — Missing something *2019-10-30, version 4.2.1* I must be missing something. I downloaded it- have seen others do it but have no idea how to get started and there are zero tutorials. Not user friendly for newbies ### 1/5 — Too much hassle *2019-09-25, version 4.2* Could be a good app, but having to go on a website and enrolling people and making question sets is a bit of a pain. Would be better if you could do everything in the app ### 1/5 — Not working. Support requests are useless *2019-09-19, version 4.2* Having not been able to use this for months, the support team asked me if I had ‘switched it off and on again’. Everything on my account has been deleted, I have deleted and redownloaded the app on multiple devices and it’s all just blank. This was a really good app until it all disappeared. I’ll look for another one and showcase that to my school ### 1/5 — I loved using this in my classroom until everything changed! *2019-08-31, version 4.2* I LOVED plickers! This was such an easy to use formal and informal assessment until everything changed. I was just reading the most recent reviews, and it seems many people feel the same way. Plickers made everything so much easier on the teacher. It was quick and easy. Now, I am struggling to make it work. I am glad I used it last year, during my observation, because it worked well and added points to my observation scores. The next time, only a few days after my observation, I tried to use it, and y’all had changed everything. I haven’t been able to use it with my students since then. I HOPE THAT YOU WILL LISTEN TO ALL THE TEACHERS THAT LOVED PLICKERS! Please take it back to what it was, so all of the struggling teachers out there(myself included) can use it with ease. ### 1/5 — Can no longer use *2019-05-04, version 4.1.1* I loved Plickers and used it for 2 years with my 5th graders, they loved it also. This year they say they upgraded the app, or changed the format. Whatever they have done, I can no longer use it and I am so disappointed. I have tried, I did not give up easily, but I just cannot get it to perform like it use to. It was so user friendly, now it is a nightmare. ### 1/5 — Was Amazing... Now Useless *2019-03-24, version 4.1* Plickers WAS my favorite app as a teacher. This update takes away its most useful feature... creating questions on the mobile app. Plickers is a complete waste now. ### 1/5 — It’s an amazing app..when it works *2019-03-03, version 4.0* I have seen plickers in action, and it’s incredible when it works. However, when I tried to use it myself, after signing into the app, it crashed any time I tried to open it. I tried restarting my device, getting the newest software update, re-downloading the app, using a different network, using a different device, but nothing worked. When I contacted customer service, they were only suggesting things I have already tried and wrote in my email. I wish they would have been more helpful, but as of now, I will no longer be using the app. It’s a waste of storage on my devices. If they fix this issue I would consider downloading it again. ### 1/5 — Used to love. Now don’t. *2019-02-28, version 4.0* I loved this app for easy formative assessment. Now that it’s a new format my app crashes every time I try to use it!!! When I click to open a class it just all shuts down... womp womp ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 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! ### 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. ### 5/5 — T.MQ *2018-10-09, version 4.0* تطبيق رائع جداً ويهدم المعلم كثير.. المشكلة فيه هو عدم استخراجه للدرجات فيرهق المعلم في استخراج الدرجة النهائية لكل طالب ### 5/5 — Plickers *2018-10-01, version 4.0* I enjoy playing this game and I’m in high school I usually play before chess games an swim meets sometimes I fit it in after I fly my kite ### 5/5 — New update is great *2018-09-20, version 4.0* Great app. ### 5/5 — Students love it! *2018-09-06, version 3.2.4* Fantastic way to assess students quickly. They love it and keep asking to use Plickers more. ### 5/5 — AMAZING!!! *2018-09-04, version 3.2.4* Easy to use and SO useful! ### 5/5 — Adding folders to a class *2018-08-20, version 3.2.4* The app is great. I use it every year. I wish there was a way you can add a folder of questions to a particular class, instead of clicking on each question. ### 5/5 — Great for classroom *2018-08-10, version 3.2.4* Use for a daily ACT problem with my high school juniors. Easy, quick, and effective. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
