Meh!

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.

Able to access website bookmarks easily!

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

I want to like it

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.

The new

2019 review - don’t bother!

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

Needs minor tweaks

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!

Love the concept but can’t figure it out!

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.

Nothing shows

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

I love your web site... but

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!

Great website, rubbish app

Doesn’t work.

No Show

Nothing shows up when I open the app. I can’t click on anything.

Suddenly not working

Have used and loved Symbaloo for years and now its decided not to work on my iPad Pro!

iPad

I love it on my laptop, but can’t get it to work on iPad.

Couldn’t Load it on My iPad Pro

Despite what the reviews said, I really wanted this app - even though it hadn’t been updated in 2 years. Since it was free, I gave it a go, and sure enough, the app crashed twice upon my attempts to load it. My guess is that it hasn’t been upgraded to iOS 12 - never mind the soon-to-be released new iPadOS version. Too bad - if it worked well the developer could have made some money on this app.

Crashes after opening

I like symbaloo on my computer, however, this app crashes every time I open it on my iPad Pro. Disappointed that I have to uninstall.

Used to love it!

This app keeps crashing. Help!

Great app

I have enjoyed this for years. Great

Inadequate, Not Ready for Prime Time

I'm immediately disappointed by this app, despite it being free. Out of the box it set up three "Web Mixes", or pages, chock-full with sites I'm not interested in. The edit option allowed me to delete two of the pages, but not the third. I was forced to delete the sites one by one. I was not given an option to rename the Web Mix, nor could I create a new one. It did allow me to add a new "Tile", meaning a website. I added Duolingo, but the integrated browser did not support any audio from the site, and it would not open any links from that site (the discussion links).

I assume that the desktop version allows better editing options, but that is not what I wanted.

I've deleted this disappointing app.

I agree that it needs work.

The app idea and concepts is excellent. I could really get into using this more than Safari or Chrome if it were more customizable, the images and word sizes could be enlarged or made smaller to users needs, and in general it just needs more features. You're in the right track though! Don't give up on this! It could very well be a magnificent app with some work. Also, integrated more with iOS 11, this could be powerful and attract lots of users. Redesign it well enough and I'd gladly pay for it if it were worth it.
