### 2/5 — Moderation is paywalled

*2025-04-09*

Clearly they don’t care about the safety of their potential customers if they aren’t allowing basic moderation for Q&A without forking money over for the privilege of not being called slurs at events.

**Developer response:** Hello, thank you for your feedback. The Slido free Basic plan offers some moderation features for Q&A, such as the ability to archive or delete questions at any time during your session. We’ve also integrated a profanity filter to help event organizers maintain a positive environment. If you’d like to approve every question before it goes live, this feature is available on our paid plans. However, this level of protection isn’t typically necessary for most events. If you’d like to explore the advanced moderation features included in our paid plans, you can take advantage of our 30-day money-back guarantee to see if it meets your needs.

### 2/5 — Not useful, unless you actually need another app on your phone

*2024-02-21*

Great interface, but it is basically the same as just going to the website in your browser.I simply added this website as a link on my honescreen.

**Developer response:** Hello, thank you for your feedback. You are correct, but since many users search for Slido in the App Store, we wanted to ensure they can easily find and access the app whenever they need it.

### 3/5 — Needs better admin support

*2019-05-11, version 3.1.2*

I love this tool, it’s changed the way I teach my class. However, the limited administrator support makes it hard for me to pace around room and effectively manage what’s happening. 

As it stands it’s just a web wrapper for the admin, which means I can easily close the window and lose access to what I need if I tap “Done”.

### 2/5 — No point in having the app for admins

*2019-04-11, version 3.1.2*

If your a participant maybe this app is for you. 

If your an admin don’t bother. The app simply pushes you to the web browser as there is no native support for the features for an admin in the app and it doesn’t even hide the fact it’s just loading a web page. 

Please develop a native app rather than loading a web page!

### 2/5 — Questions

*2018-05-22*

Any questions that have been asked, on the app or website, disappear. It’s annoying when you are reviewing the questions and they disappear.

**Developer response:** Thanks for your review. We're sorry about your experience. All sent questions are managed by the administrator inside Slido. Sometimes they use different features to facilitate the discussion and keep it relevant and insightful for the participants. Usually questions disappear when they are archived once speaker answered them. Some other times the event organizer could recognize that specific question was a duplicity or was already answered before so it was archived too. If you have any ideas or suggestions, we'd love to read them at support@slido.com. We're happy to help!

### 2/5 — Extremely buggy

*2018-04-26, version 3.0.2*

App is such a great idea and has great promise but constantly freezes and has to be restarted. Frustrating!!

### 2/5 — Keeps crashing/freezing

*2018-04-25*

The app keeps crashing/freezing when entering questions. Also sometimes my questions got stuck in waiting for review

**Developer response:** Thank you for your feedback. Thanks for reporting the freezing of the app. The app went through several updates over the year so all should work fine now. If you ever come across similar experience try to use our web app at www.slido.com as a backup. Regarding the “waiting for review” label on the question that means that the question is being moderated and needs to be approved by the event organizer to go live.

### 2/5 — No administrator login

*2017-06-10*

Everything runs smoothly but I gave it two stats because it's not done yet. You can't login with an administrator account.

**Developer response:** Thank you for your feedback. We added the admin login to the app in 2018 so once you open it up you can log in to your Slido account and manage your event.

### 1/5 — It’s just a polling app

*2024-03-12*

Nothing revolutionary. Customer service is nice but not willing to work with you on the extreme prices. Not worth it, there are cheaper apps out there that perform the same type of functionality.

**Developer response:** Thank you for your honest feedback. We’re not quite sure what you mean by “extreme prices.” We strive to make Slido better every day, and when you purchase our product, you receive all upcoming updates and improvements. There are so many of them 🤩 Feel free to check out our community at https://community.slido.com/

### 1/5 — Very aggravating. Gets stuck on top question.

*2023-03-01*

I think it limits the participants. Gotta be something better than this piece of crap.

**Developer response:** Thank you for your honest feedback. Could you please provide more details about what went wrong and what could be improved? Feel free to reach out directly at support@slido.com. Thank you very much.

### 1/5 — Awful

*2021-07-13, version 6.3.0*

Completely unusable. “Server is taking too long to respond”

### 1/5 — Not opening

*2021-07-11, version 6.3.0*

Any suggestions when the app is just stuck on home page?

### 1/5 — Can’t give it a zero

*2020-04-23*

Passcodes accepted sporadically

**Developer response:** Thanks for your review. We are sorry for your experience but would you be able to clarify what exactly is the issue? Feel free to edit your response or send your feedback to experience@slido.com. We are not sure we really understand what went wrong. Thank you.

### 1/5 — Hybrid

*2019-08-29*

What is the point of wrapping the website in an app webview and not provide additional functionality.  It loads really slow and is just like a slow version of the web site.

**Developer response:** Thank you for your feedback. It is true that native apps have additional functionalities most of the time in comparison to web apps. For Slido, the majority of users use our web app as a main channel where we invest most of our time so for now, the native apps are exactly the same in terms of functionality. Is there some functionality you were missing that would make your experience in the app even better? Feel free to edit your response or send your feedback to experience@slido.com. Thank you.

### 1/5 — Still No iPhone X screen size support?

*2019-03-01*

Seriously? iPhone X has been around for almost 3 years now and you're still not scaling to it's screen?

### 1/5 — Freezes after reopening

*2018-04-25*

I am able to see the last screen, but it is not interactive (no scrolling, buttons don’t work).

**Developer response:** Thank you for your feedback. Not sure exactly where could be a problem. Slido app went through several updates over the year so all buttons and scrolling should work well. If you ever come across similar experience try to use our web app at www.slido.com as a backup.

### 1/5 — Often used Prejudicially

*2018-03-27*

I’ve been using this app for a year across numerous events in Austin, TX. The diversity of inquiry and answered questions had taken a nosedive. The venues that have used these are very likely to filter out all but the most bland low hanging fruit. The public ratings are often ignored, only easy questions answered, often no time or assistance allocated for newbies, no network accommodations for weak signal, this app intrinsically excludes non tech attendees, and has been specifically designed to isolate the pollsters from any feedback. I would suggest returning to a wireless microphone, it is more Democratic and diverse.

**Developer response:** Thank you for sharing your experience with us, we value your input. We are sorry to hear it wasn’t always what you expected. While we aim to provide the platform for every participant to have a voice, we also offer the administrator the faculty and freedom to address the matters at their own discretion. If you have any other thoughts, let us know at support@slido.com.

### 2/5 — Pricing

*2025-12-06*

It would be great if the cheapest plan didn’t require you to pay $60

## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated)

### 5/5 — Recommend

*2023-06-02, version 6.3.3*

Great tool!

### 5/5 — Helps us greatly

*2019-11-12, version 5.2.0*

An amazing crowd participation app, we use it for internal work meetings and get great honest answers from our employees.

### 5/5 — Best audience interaction app ever!

*2019-09-05*

Nice and seamless

### 5/5 — Make your meeting more engaging

*2019-02-08, version 3.0.7*

A great way to engage people in the room or even remote participants. You can give everyone a chance to share their opinion or questions in a super easy and efficient way.

### 4/5 — Security flaw

*2018-11-06, version 3.0.6*

Amazingly you can join any discussion group without being connected to local WiFi.  I could have joined a similarly named conference to the one I was actually at.

### 3/5 — No Admin Control

*2022-08-09, version 6.3.1*

Works well as a user but it would be much better if you could use the app as an admin to moderate Q&A. Unless I’m missing something?

### 3/5 — Should allow downvotes

*2022-01-13*

The app is decent, but you should be able to downvote stupid questions.

**Developer response:** Hello, thank you for your feedback. As an event or meeting host, you can choose whether to enable or disable downvotes for Q&A questions. In your case, it appears that downvotes were disabled, but this feature is available if needed. I hope this helps clarify things.

### 3/5 — Very basic

*2020-07-01*

Why can’t I login as admin with the registered account directly on the app!
Everytime it redirects me to the webpage and even once you close this web page the app becomes useless.
Why you din’t add the admin login feature in the app itself ?!!

**Developer response:** Hello, Bebo. Thank you for your feedback and sorry for the struggle. We used to have admin opening inside the iOS app but it was loading very slow since that is technically a separate app. I just asked my team to revisit that as we did some changes to our app in last quarter that could help this one. Feel free to send a reply to experience@slido.com. Thanks.

### 3/5 — Not a good app

*2020-06-25, version 6.1.0*

Would be far better as a native app not a web app.

### 3/5 — No landscape on iPad.

*2020-04-15, version 5.3.0*

[Review/Update] I noted this app lacks iPad support. Developers advise using Safari on iPad and going webapp of Slido. Well, sorry but that’s a bit clunky. I took my iPad AND phone to a conference which chose to use using Slido, and was quite disappointed hence three stars. Please update to iPad compatibility thanks.
