Forced to use it by my University bc they have a partnership with VT. It's awful
worst app ever. I would give it 0 stars.
The fact that the last 5 star review I could find was from 13 years ago!!! Shows how outdated this app really is. It doesn't even load anymore.
I had to use this for Chinese class and it won’t show the pictures this is the worst app ever
This is absolutely be the most unintuitive app I’ve ever used. There are straight up just buttons you’re unable to click when trying to submit assignments. The web version is only marginally better. I uploaded a video for an assignment, and on multiple occasions, the video content never loaded. I pray universities and government entities stop using this because they use it as a tool through canvas, when canvas literally has the ability to upload videos to it. Atrocious app

Colleges and universities choose the worst applications
Navigating this platform is extremely challenging, with frequent glitches and timeout issues. I had to attempt uploading a single video ten times! My professor mandates its use for our ASL class, and in my experience, it's undoubtedly one of the worst platforms available. I would rate it a 0/10 and strongly advise against using it.

For the Love of everything good on this Earth please fix the bugs I cannot have 70% of my assignments time being wasted on faulty clicks.
Doesn’t work on Apple
I’m literally trying to do this for a class and I don’t know why my professor recommended this because it’s not working
PLEASE update this app. It’s extremely frustrating that I have no other option but to download the app but when in the app it does not allow me to even access my assignment. DO BETTER.
This app is so frustrating!! My professor required us to upload a video recording every week and each time it would “encounter fatal error and need to close” or some other glitch after I had recorded an 8+ minute video. Didn’t help that my professor didn’t understand the technology or how to view submissions any other way, but a severe disappointment of an app especially to be paired with a successful and clear app like Canvas. Please clean it up!

University decided to use this for our capstone project and it couldn’t have been any slower any clink or any clunker any non-responsive pages. Every single hassle that you could ever possibly think of came from this app because it feels like the creators just created it and then abandoned it immediately because the servers don’t respond after like any sort of reasonable time if you’re trying to access the app at a time where the servers are just super slow there you’re gonna be waiting hundred hours. There’s nothing that frustrates me more than when university decides to dump a bunch of money on a stupid app that doesn’t make any sense when we could obviously a much more reliable app that cost I don’t know $.99. It’s unfathomable for me to believe that this app is still being used for things. I was the developers would consider why the app actually has one star and probably work towards creating a more responsible, accessible, user-friendly, and easy to use app to submit an assignment with the voice thread attached to it. It should not be this hard. Come on get it together. We’re in the 21st-century. We should be able to make an app that is super easy and can literally be accessed at any time. thank you have a good day.

Not sustainable, crashes and logs you out google accounts. Sometimes server errors!
This application is terrible. I have installed and uninstalled this app multiple times on my relatively new phone and still cannot seem to access my course material. This needs to be addressed. Also, I can’t seem to access this through my browser either which is strange as well. I don’t know if there is an issue with using this on the iPhone but it does not seem to work.

I’ll have the app on and it crashes every few minutes. It’s so annoying to do schoolwork on
It’s literally just safari
I have created 3 different voice threads just for all of them to not save, it has wasted so much of my time and I still haven’t even finish my assignment.
This app simply does not work. On the off chance it actually lets you log in, assignments don’t load correctly, videos don’t load correctly, and heaven help you if you actually want to post any comments or content. It should be a crime for professors to make using this godawful platform mandatory.
This product is great in theory but it is terrible for actual students. I've just spent the last half hour uninstalling and reinstalling this app, just to get it to let me see the VoiceThread I need, never mind contribute anything to it. The website works just fine on a PC but VoiceThread must hate Apple because neither the website or app works on my iPhone or MacBook. This is an extremely inaccessible tool for professors to be asking students to use. If you're a professor thinking about using this, I beg you to reconsider for the sake of your student's sanity. You WILL be receiving subpar work, not because that's what your students want to give you, but solely because the app is barely functioning!
