Like the fact that you can save the slideshows you want to keep for reference. Really helpful facility overall. ### 4/5 — Made life easier *2020-11-01, version 1.15.7* It was very difficult to collect data on any topic ! Had to search many articles but this app has made life easier as you can get all the information just in one presentations 👍 ### 3/5 — Please Fix This!!! *2020-08-31, version 1.15.7* Every time I try to open one of the presentations it automatically gets me out of the app 😓 This is a serious problem because I need the app for school purposes 😵 Please fix this! ### 3/5 — M&A Bug? *2020-08-23, version 1.15.7* Since the announcement of the Merger and Acquisition SlideShare routinely crashes. Additionally we’re required to read and understand the new policies at each log in or religion after each crash which is likely part of the crash problem. Search is not optimum. How many BS pdf or slides do we need promoting a commercial sale of say a book? It isn’t dozens. ### 3/5 — Good concept *2020-08-21, version 1.15.7* I do quite like this app and how you can get information on so many different things, but every time I go to click on one of the subjects I want to read it kicks me out of the app. I don’t know if it’s just me or what, but it’s very frustrating. I’ve tried multiple times to get into the subject that I want, but it just won’t let me. Sometimes it will, but most of the time it just throws me out. ### 2/5 — Can’t get login, difficult to get in *2019-06-21, version 1.15.5* So I downloaded this app expecting a simple sign up since I’ve never used this app before and turns out I needed to install another app just to work this app (LinkedIn) which is not very convenient and on that note it still didn’t work it just kept saying “hmm something went wrong, try again?” Like some gave over screen in an arcade please fix this or tell me how to login. **Developer response:** Thanks for taking the time to review the LinkedIn SlideShare app. Sorry to hear you're having troubles. Please try to uninstall and reinstall the app. We've found that it works for most people. If you're still having issues after a clean install, email us at https://lnkd.in/iOS so we can look into this. -JC ### 2/5 — Couldn’t even get in the app *2019-06-13, version 1.15.5* I got it- logged in and then went off the app. When I had gotten back on earlier after finding a poetry book I wanted to read- I was logged out. I tried logged in over and over again. After a bit I realized it must’ve been because my account didn’t go through or something. So I tried creating my account but there was no where I could, I was locked in a screen where I could only login- but I had no account to log in too. So I deleted it and downloaded it again but I was locked in the same screen again. I’m a little devastated because it seems like a really nice and creative app- twas the three star instead of one - but of course I’ll never see the app. Anyway you could help would be amazing! **Developer response:** Thanks for your review! To create a SlideShare account for yourself, either connect with your existing LinkedIn account or create a LinkedIn account, if you don't already have one. Here's how: https://www.linkedin.com/help/slideshare/answer/53670 . If you have any questions, please email us here: https://lnkd.in/iOS . Thank you. -JC ### 3/5 — Why even the “Saved” slides are so pixelated? *2019-04-06, version 1.15.5* Nice app for people to view shared slides online, however, I had the problem with the quality of slides, even I had them downloaded or saved, when viewing the slides, the contents are still not so clear and so pixelated. ### 3/5 — Good but few glitches *2018-12-29, version 1.15.5* It’s a pretty neat app with presentations from a wide range of topics. Search results are usually related but with broad sidelines and even 2 matching words appear in search. However I mostly end up finding useful stuff. I rated it 3 because of the glitches of the app itself that are really annoying. For one, my saved slides keep on disappearing even while I’m viewing them. I simply go back and they’re no more there. When you turn to search for them again, it’s a matter of chance whether you gonna come across the same again or not. Pure luck I guess. ### 1/5 — Just Google it... *2018-09-12, version 1.15.5* Nope. Just a time waster. I chose my Favorite categories, but I am only offered 6 or 7 selections in each category - can’t find any way to see any others, without just searching. The FAQ doesn’t open, so is useless. Learning how to use this “educational” app is a time-intensive hunt and peck process, for which I don’t have time. Either offer instructions to use this or don’t bother. Just Google instead. It’s much, much quicker. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Can’t login, and their website doesn’t work on ipad suddenly *2022-01-31, version 1.16* I signed up on the website through Scribd. No option to login through Scribd on the app. Website doesn’t allow me to view or download the file that my college professor uploaded. I can see the first page only. Can’t enlarge, can’t go to next slide. Thought the app would fix the issue. BUT NOT IF I CAN’T GET IN! 🙃You’d think that a Scribd company site/app would allow you to sign in with Scribd, especially since it’s a sign-in/sign-up option on the website. I even tried entering my actual email and password but it just says “oops, check your email/password” 😤 **Developer response:** Hi there, we're with the SlideShare team at Scribd. We can definitely assist with this! Please submit a ticket through this link and an agent will be in touch very soon, thanks! http://scr.bi/slideshare-social ### 1/5 — It doesn’t work *2020-12-02, version 1.15.7* I logged in and everything but when I click slide it just crashes. So I analyzed why it crashes. So it crashes due to the message displayed on top. If user clicks ok and message disappears the slides will crash. If user doesn’t clicks ok it will not crash. ### 1/5 — Would be great... if it worked!!! *2020-11-08, version 1.15.7* Like many others have said, every time I try to open a slide I get kicked out of the app. I’ve wasted entirely too much time now trying over and over again because there seems to be a lot of great content for whatever I search, but I don’t have time or patience for this!!! Fix it and I will give 5 stars! ### 1/5 — Won’t load docs *2020-09-18, version 1.15.7* I’ve been trying for the last hour and a half to just simply load a slide share from LinkedIn and every time I click a different link it crashes the app. ### 1/5 — Going from bad to worse. *2020-08-30, version 1.15.7* App is now unstable. Crashes every time I view a presentation. Now that linked in has washed its hands off Slideshare, it’s time to leave. I can’t see anything but chaos as scribd takes it over and tries to monetise their acquisition. ### 1/5 — Can't really tell - Can't even log in *2019-11-21, version 1.15.6* I downloaded the app (iOS 13.2, iPad Pro 10.5), selected login with linkedin acct, and entered my linkedin email/password. The reply was some check the email/password msg. Rinse, repeat, rinse, repeat - same results! I then tried logging in with my Facebook account - no joy there either. I even tried logging in via both methods using a web browser; got errors there as well - what the hey! BTW, my account info WAS entered correctly. I read a review from someone else who had difficulty logging in. The response was a link at a SlideShare help page. I visited the page and it was something about acceptable behavior for teens! **Developer response:** Thanks for taking the time to leave a review and sorry to hear you're unable to log in. Here's some info that might help: https://www.linkedin.com/help/slideshare/answer/46770 . If you're still unable to log in, please email us here https://lnkd.in/iOS . Thanks! -JC ### 1/5 — Horrible Website *2019-04-09, version 1.15.5* This is an extremely difficult application to use and is entirely too difficult for what is is. It makes it impossible to create an account and is constantly pushing for you to download the app version. It is very inconvenient. ### 1/5 — Can’t enter app *2018-12-26, version 1.15.5* I used SlideShare for 2 glorious nights many months ago. Tried to get back on recently, and up to now, have wasted at least 4 hours, changing passwords again and again, only to immediately afterward receive a message of “Oops. You clearly don’t remember your email address or password.” Fact is I just changed my password, not 2 minutes ago! I have deleted the app 3x out of frustration. Had to give a review since the help area was no help at all. For content that I feel is so good, the access and help areas are completely lacking for me. **Developer response:** Thanks for leaving your review of the LinkedIn Slideshare app. We're sorry to hear you're not able to log in. Please email us at https://lnkd.in/Slideshare and our team will look into it. Thanks! ### 1/5 — Couldn’t even create an account. *2018-11-05, version 1.15.5* Garbage. Wouldn’t even allow me to create an account. Asked for a different phone number. How many phone numbers do normal people have? What’s wrong with a perfectly good phone number. LinkedIn needs to fix this. ### 1/5 — Issue with Facebook *2018-09-27, version 1.15.5* I can’t use this app due to issue with implementation of Facebook and I don’t want to use my linked in account and it also won’t let me make a new log in because there is no option to. So I’m left with an app I can’t use and really want to use. PLEASE FIX ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Sweet app *2021-04-19, version 1.15.7* I would recommend this to anyone,friends,family. Has a lot more information than regular Google,or Bing, Yahoo! ### 5/5 — Perfect application *2021-03-25, version 1.15.7* I can call it one of the best application designed for a brief study of a specific subject. ### 5/5 — slide share very educative for clinician *2021-03-24, version 1.15.7* I found it very useful as journals are not available here ### 5/5 — Great way to share my work *2021-02-13, version 1.15.7* Easy access to share my work ### 5/5 — My positive Experience with SlideShare *2020-12-23, version 1.15.7* I am very happy to sign up for the SlideShare App. I find it very helpful and rich in materials and informations that comprise a valuable library for any researcher. It is easy to search and download materials. However it gives the credit to the people who did the work and chose to share it with other and I see SlideShare is one of the most perfect platforms to do so. ### 5/5 — Scientific commeno *2020-05-21, version 1.15.6* Being a professor of medicine and head if dept of medicine in university of diyala college of medicine-Iraq , I believe the slideshare is very essential for every medical student and teacher ### 5/5 — Great App! *2020-04-04, version 1.15.6* I love the knowledge that can be gained from this app so easily in the area of education. Keep up the good work guys! ### 5/5 — Slide Share So- Good app *2020-02-11, version 1.15.6* I have been using it for two years. All I want to learn about is to be easily found in this app. And It gives short to the point. ### 5/5 — Helpful App *2019-08-12, version 1.15.5* This App is wonderful for ideas on how to best present information on a number of difficult topics to teach. I want my students to have concise, valuable information presented in a way that best explains complicated material clearly. I appreciate the ideas gained from this App! ### 5/5 — Very Useful, Very Impressive, Super Robust *2018-01-16, version 1.15.1* Hungry to view slides via LinkedIn from a professional / kindred spirit, so glad to discover that, despite my my super slow data plan and aging smartphone, this app kicked up and shone, fast, clean, brightly, easily :) Kudos to the SlideShare team and supporting ecosystem souls ⚡️ Am tempted to try this on my next visit to Southeast Asia, on even meeker devices.
