### 4/5 — Good for Multimedia

*2023-09-20, version 5.0.6*

I like that this app is also compatible with laptops. I can assign my students a passage to read and also link videos to it. I also like that more than one link can be added to a single photo.

### 2/5 — I’m so annoyed

*2021-10-02, version 5.0.3*

I’m a middle schooler using this, and it was great until y’all completely redesigned the app. Nothing saves correctly, and way too complicated now to know where everything is. Whoever said “let’s redesign the whole app” really didn’t think through how there are people actually using the app before the update

### 2/5 — Wow. I’m very disappointed.

*2021-01-26, version 4.1.5*

At first, I thought this would be more convenient than the website, and it sort of is, except they didn’t put the other effects in. So please work on that, Thinglink.

### 3/5 — Cannot change language

*2020-10-09, version 4.1.5*

The app adjusts the language based on your location. I don’t necessarily speak the language where I live. Give us options to decide.

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work

*2020-02-21, version 4.1.3*

I am pretty proficient in image editing and these apps in general. This has zero functionality. Maybe it needs to be updated?

*2020-05-04, version 4.1.4*

This was incredibly difficult to use and honestly I would rather put a blow dart though my skull. Just opening the app fills me with rage but I have to because it’s for school. Please delete this so future students will not have to suffer.

### 5/5 — Shiny new updated app October 2021

*2021-10-01, version 5.0.3*

I love ThingLink but I’ve always created my ThingLinks on the web as I found the old app version a bit clunky. But, the shiny, new version is amazing. It’s gives you the full ThingLink experience, super easy to use, full functionality and all round winner!!!! 👏👏👏👏👍

### 5/5 — Great!

*2020-11-19, version 4.1.5*

I thought this app was great for linking a worksheet for my students and then using pictures to help them if they didn’t understand what the word was. For example I did a common noun workbook page and it had a lot of different common nouns on the page- I linked a picture of flowers to the word flowers. Since my students are on all different reading levels I think this can be beneficial when completing homework and not having support at home.

### 5/5 — I wonder

*2020-11-04, version 4.1.5*

At home I do this but I keep forgetting my teachers invite code! LOL

### 5/5 — This app saved my life!

*2020-07-30, version 4.1.4*

This app saved my life. I had depression and suicidal thoughts but this app cured both and gave me a new life. I am so thankful for the creators that saved my life.

### 5/5 — Fantastical

*2020-03-08, version 4.1.3*

This app is absolutely a masterpiece and is probably the reason my parents got back together, this app has changed my life transforming into a man and may end world hunger and the coronavirus. I love it 5/5!

### 5/5 — Read

*2017-12-03, version 3.7.1*

### 5/5 — Ehhhhh

*2017-05-08, version 3.6*

I like it

### 5/5 — Great tool!

*2017-03-13, version 3.6*

It's all in how you use it. I'm able to tag videos and images with ease.

### 5/5 — Idk

*2017-02-06, version 3.6*
