### 3/5 — Meh!

*2022-10-24, version 3.0.2*

I used to love Symbaloo but in the phone is another thing. #1 Running slower than a computer or laptop, #2 Every time I open the app, ask me to review the privacy  which is annoying. No matter how many times you adjust the privacy; the message popped up. #3 The different app you are created, take long time to open. So, almost I’m about to erase the app because it drive me nuts and is very annoying.

### 4/5 — Able to access website bookmarks easily!

*2022-08-01, version 3.0.2*

I love the organized bookmarks! Also love the ease to access without filling my phone with so many apps it gets filled. One issue i have is a glich Instagram has. And it’s not there when I open the actual app. A person dancing with my profile page and I can’t see my written stuff

### 2/5 — I want to like it

*2021-03-16, version 3.0.2*

I was thrilled when I first saw this however it mobile capability is lacking. I can’t select any links on the left hand side. It often has a long pause before opening something and it is difficult to edit from a mobile device. I do like it from my computer but I needed a mobile friendly option to share with all my students.

### 3/5 — Lost links

*2020-03-06, version 3.0*

Updated the app and it deleted all of my old tiles

### 5/5 — I just got the s symboo  and I love it

*2020-02-27, version 2.5*

The new

### 1/5 — 2019 review - don’t bother!

*2019-12-02, version 2.5*

Open app and get a blank blue screen!  No update in 2 years—abandonware!

### 3/5 — Needs minor tweaks

*2019-11-10, version 2.5*

I love Symbaloo, but the app is not easy to use for two reasons:  first, it does not support the addition of text in the button- do you can name the button in case the icon or logo is unclear.  Second, it doesn’t allow you to arrange the buttons.  This means you can’t group them or put them in an order that helps you remember what they are.  On some of my web mixes, I have no idea what the buttons are unless I just do trial and error.  Please update your app for easier mobile use!

### 2/5 — Love the concept but can’t figure it out!

*2019-09-26*

Someone shared their page so I excitedly got it for my iPad and then nothing. A pretty picture but no prompts. Nothing to even tell me I need to do this on a computer first. I’m disappointed and would like some tech support please.

### 1/5 — Nothing  shows

*2019-09-20, version 2.5*

Nothing is showing up on the app. Just a picture of mountains. I can’t click on anything . It’s useless to download it.

### 4/5 — I love your web site... but

*2019-09-20*

I’m a long time user of your website but...
When i open my app on my ipad, there is nothing but the wall paper! No tiles, no link, absolutely nothing at all... help please!
