Botched. MacMillan has an atrocious reputation for releasing software that is blatantly broken. This app tells me I'm not in class when I've been sitting in class for 10 minutes. Every time a question changes, it endlessly buffers and the app needs to be restarted. If you enter an answer, sometimes it endlessly buffers and needs to be restarted. Every time I get into the class page, the "Join" button often doesn't appear for a minute or more. I'm a beta tester at my grades' expense.

This is yet another nearly useless overpriced college expense just to mark yourself for attendance and participate in class. This app is incredibly slow; half the time it doesn't even load the random problems profs decide to put out - just shows a loading icon then records as "no response", which negatively affects your grades directly. Somehow this app feels more archaic than just screaming out "here" or the answer.
Probably one of the worst apps I've ever had to use for college, continuous issue of my answers not registering, and it saying I chose a different answer than I actually did. Another problem ive had, as well as many of my classmates, is the issue of it saying I answered something on my end, but my teacher sees nothing. I have almost have been dropped from classes who use this app for attendance because it barely functions. If you want to make people dread your class, this is the app.
Nearly every time I've used this app, I have connectivity issues, and it costs me points as I spend time trying to force stop the app in order to get it to work again instead of answering clicker questions. I've also had this experience with the browser version and the app at the same time. The only solutions I found was force stopping or reinstalling the app. If there is another way to get the app to work again that takes less time, I'd like to know. Edit: still having issues months later
Absolute scam. Makes the app seem free with an automatically activated free trial that cancels without warning a few weeks into your course and forces you to pay a ridiculous amount of money for what's basically a worse version of kahoot.
absolutely horrible app, will kick you out mid-session and occasionally will not show you your classes
it does affect my grade. Whenever I tried to sign in, it always shows that there is no wifi connection. Worst app ever !
I was double charged for the subscription, and the customer support is now ignoring me. extremely frustrating, I just want my money back.
terrible. doesn't work, fails all the time, most devices I've used fail to function and my department just told me to get another device. Forcing people to use this app is borderline evil.
extremely unreliable regardless of Internet connection. also just doesn't refresh while "in" the class sessions. it doesn't help that teachers can't seem to figure out how to use it.
