### 3/5 — No Landscape Mode!

*2023-06-15, version 2.14.0*

This app needs an option for Landscape mode, especially on tablet devices.

### 1/5 — Literally the worst app on the planet

*2022-07-09, version 2.10.1*

I have to use this for work and it always has a problem. Whether is be, laggy, crashing in the middle of lessons, not counting lessons at all, freezing my entire phone or like how this month it suddenly quit loading any content at all. It wont pull the lessons for the month of July. It wont pull any of my account information, and it just sits there loading until it tells me it can’t connect to the server. I would delete this off my phone in a heart beat if i didn’t have to use it for work. So frustrating.

### 1/5 — Horrible app

*2022-07-06, version 2.10.1*

Don’t believe the 5 star reviews. They are all fake. The app never works and never updates to new relevant information. It’s the same 5 trainings reworded and recycled every month.
I have to delete and reinstall the app every month. Can only get it to work about 30% of the time and when it does It freezes midtrainings and doesn’t count them. I haven’t learned a single thing from their generic surface level trainings.

### 1/5 — Pointless

*2022-06-09, version 2.9.2*

Dumb

### 1/5 — App does not work

*2022-06-07, version 2.9.2*

This app is mandatory for my job and tracked by upper management. Which is extremely frustrating considering the app only works about 20% of the time. The rest is just endless loading screens and it will stay stuck on the loading screen even if you close the app and reopen. Ridiculous.

### 1/5 — Horrible app that only toxic companies use

*2022-06-06, version 2.9.2*

The app is terrible and glitchy. On top of that, it has zero benefit whatsoever when it comes to teaching anyone anything. This app is just a way for toxic management to control their employees and force them to do a certain amount of sessions by a certain date other wise you and store managers will get written up, commissions will be cut and employees can be cycled through regularly. Any company who uses this app this way deserves to be bankrupted.

### 1/5 — Does it ever work right?

*2022-04-13, version 2.9.2*

Drops calls, never loads correctly. Frustrating the least to say.

### 1/5 — Crashes

*2022-04-12, version 2.9.2*

I thought Skale was bad, it got worst. Constant crashing, no connection even at 100mb+ speeds. App updated, constant restarts, and reinstalls

### 1/5 — Delete this app

*2022-04-08, version 2.9.2*

Just stop trying. Stop trying to make apps. Give up. This is the most horrible excuse for an app I’ve ever used.  Works 3% of the time and when it doesn’t prevent you from using it entirely it freezes, disconnects, and just doesn’t work. 
Prime should be ashamed for making this a requirement to use this garbage.

### 1/5 — Never works

*2022-04-08, version 2.9.2*

My company makes us do these but the app never works and somehow that’s my fault because I’m not getting my sessions done

### 1/5 — Horrible

*2022-04-06, version 2.9.2*

What can I say, it lags, it crashes, it freezes. That’s IF you can get into a training, you’re more likely to get paired with a black screen before you find a real person. Of course if you try shutting down the app and retrying except… YOU CAN’T it just puts you right into the same queue without the option to leave. Oh don’t worry though, because if you decide to give up and just shut the app down completely then be prepared to get 50 notifications telling you that you missed your partner. The app is just plain out bad, I don’t think it should be fixed rather any employers who use it should just drop the app. ~Corbin from Prime

### 1/5 — FOR THE LOVE OF GOD DO NOT

*2022-04-06, version 2.9.2*

This app is so bad, I would like to give it a zero but I can’t. So I give it a 1. 
IF YOU HAVE ANY RESPECT FOR YOURSELF, YOUR COMANY, OR YOUR EMPLOYEES: DO NOT USE THIS APP. 
You will hate your life, your employees will hate you more than you hate yourself for using this trash, and anything you were hoping to get accomplished with this app WILL NEVER GET DONE. 
DO YOURSELF A FAVOR. 
DO.
NOT.
USE.
THIS. 
APP. 
Thank me later.

### 1/5 — Butt

*2022-04-04, version 2.9.2*

### 1/5 — Garbage

*2023-01-05, version 2.12.9*

Incase any company is looking to use Upduo as a training device for their company, don’t. Every month there’s connectivity issues. This app is a  Hot steaming Pile of e-junk.

### 1/5 — DOESNT WORK

*2022-08-18, version 2.10.1*

LOVE BEING FORCED TO USE SOMETHING THAY DOESNT WORK 
THIS IS AWESOME 
WE DEFINITELY GET PAID ENOUFH FOR THIS

### 1/5 — Horrible

*2022-08-14, version 2.10.1*

Worst app and experience. Countless bugs and an awkward experience when finally matched. Used for training but I never learn anything. I keep getting the same “lessons” so it gets repetitive.

### 1/5 — Incompetent App

*2022-08-12, version 2.10.1*

Been using this app for over a year and it constantly has errors that interfere with our ability to complete the trainings required by our employer. Any company wanting to use this for the employees should stay away!

### 1/5 — Absolutely horrible.

*2022-07-18, version 2.10.1*

Cons: 

Poor A/V Quality
Random Connection Drops
Queues Take Forever
Lessons Regularly Don’t Count
Confusing Rating Scale
Repetitive Lessons

Pros:

My corporation may finally be ditching this awful program.

### 1/5 — Why was this app invented 😑

*2022-07-12, version 2.10.1*

10/10 do not recommend

### 1/5 — Horrible

*2022-07-11, version 2.10.1*

Barely works, no better than when it was called Skalez. Doesn’t work on iPad with the Magic Keyboard as the developers are too stupid to incorporate auto rotate so I’m forced to use my iPhone when i can barely see what’s happening (thats the purpose of the 12.9 iPad Pro). Fix your app and maybe you’ll get better reviews! Learn to develop an app first…

### 5/5 — Love this!

*2024-05-15, version 2.14.14*

I didn’t have the option to turn off my camera and I was not camera-ready, but otherwise this app is incredible. I love how the conversations were directed by the notecards and the timer kept us focused on the topic at hand.

### 5/5 — Game changer!

*2024-03-14, version 2.14.12*

In a world that often feels disconnected and insurmountable, Upduo brings people together in a way that fosters deep thinking, meaningful collaboration, and authentic human connections. Seriously, once you experience Upduo you can begin to see new ways to authentically bring people together and gain insights into how to support your colleagues and those that you serve.

### 5/5 — Human, Effective, and Fun

*2024-02-27, version 2.14.12*

If you like to learn but don’t like to “sit and get” or “be talked at”, Upduo is the best there is.

### 5/5 — Great app!

*2024-01-06, version 2.14.10*

This app is amazing, people are so friendly on here also.

### 5/5 — Great

*2023-02-08, version 2.13.4*

Great

### 5/5 — Garbage

*2022-08-01, version 2.10.1*

Always have connectivity issues

### 5/5 — N/A

*2022-04-06, version 2.9.2*

It’s so repetitive. It takes 10 minutes just to get a match

### 5/5 — Teaching is my favorite way to learn

*2022-03-24, version 2.9.2*

What I love about Upduo is that I can really help my partners learn something while learning myself. 

The way matches are chosen and conversations are designed makes each session time very well spent.

### 5/5 — Issues are fixed and the app finally works!

*2022-03-15, version 2.9.2*

The new app solved lots of problems. It’s really fun when things are working!

### 5/5 — Constant updates

*2021-09-16, version 2.4.8*

App is getting constant updates
