I recently downloaded this app for class, My teacher, for some odd reason said never open it after class. I listened until one day I accidentally opened the app whilst taking a walk with my dog. Suddenly a demonic beast leapt from my phone, ate my dog, and ran away. This app is getting uninstalled.

Would be fine but it’s slow and I can never answer my teachers questions bc it takes too much time to log in.

Cannot sign into my account on the app, getting a continual error about not being connected to the internet despite being clearly connected. I paid for this service, and I expect it to work. Do not waste your money, and stick with a service that will not leave you or your students behind in class

It’s slow and delayed. It caused me to miss extra credit

Title

For the amount of money you have to pay for this subscription, it works absolutely awfully. I am being logged out while using the app, getting errors for no reason and am losing points for my class. Only am using it because I have to, but it doesn’t matter since my grade is not getting better because of it

We use it in our town for Town Meeting, there are 288 of us in Town Meeting and it’s been working great for us since 2020 when we couldn’t have met in person yet we had to keep running our town. Town Meeting is the closest form of direct democracy, the legislative branch of our local government. Point Solutions has worked perfectly for us. We log into the app via our cell phones using our credentials and the voting session provided to us by Town Clerk a few days before Town Meeting. We then watch the presentations and discussions on zoom, ideally on a different device (PC, iPads etc.) but use the app on our phones to vote when the voting is opened to us. We can see if our vote was registered as the color of our name changes to teal blue. After a few minutes, the votes display as a bar graph. Seamless. But it does involve tech support and experts to make it happen.

I use this app to give continuing education seminars all over the world. I have become completely addicted to it. I cannot give a talk now without using it.

It kept logging me out throughout the session. That was not very helpful as I missed two votes!

Should not have to sign in over and over this day and age. My grade should not be hurt because timed questions where I’m signed out just when I go to answer on your app. At the very least at a remember login ability.

On several occasions I have been either locked out of my own account or have been unable to connect to my class session due to some mystery connectivity issue. When a large part of my class is dependent on participation through this app the reliability of this app becomes very important. Unfortunately this app is not very reliable. Very excited to no longer need to use this app.

Easy to summarize with one word… TRASH. App fails constantly. Support people have not been of assistance at all this year. Last year they at least could fix this. Not anymore. Throw it away.

Glitchy and annoying

A $35 dollar fee per student for an app that is kahoot with less features is absolutely absurd

Title

This app is required for some of my classes. I am constantly signed out of my account and during sessions, the app will freeze and I am left unable to respond to questions. This is a waste of $25. 90% of the written reviews are very low star. This will probably be replied to by the company, telling me to use mobile data. I use an iPad. It has no mobile data. Fix your software. You have enough funds.

Horrendously buggy. Have been kicked out of my session multiple times and half of the time my responses aren’t recorded properly. If you have to use this, use the website instead.

Just don’t do it. If you are required to use this actual piece of pond scum of an app, then you have my deepest sympathies.

why am i forced to pay to get attendance points for a class when i'm already spending over 30 grand a year on college?

I have numerous issues with the app and it not working when it should. This really disrupts the learning process; especially during IMCQs. Overall, I have more frustration with the app, than satisfaction.

I get good grade with this

Way to many crashes

Professors use this app to host polls which are timed with 5 minutes and graded for credit. Continuously the app has forced me to sign in before taking the quizzes 3 or 4 times throughout the semester. This takes up 2-3 minutes of my quiz time. No other app does this, why is the bar lower for educational apps used by institutions? Shouldn’t you hold yourselves to a higher standard considering your platform is used to grade assignments for hundreds of students. Absolutely unacceptable “glitch” that has cost me credit time and time again. I blame the universities for utilizing platforms that have such flagrant holes in their software. Get it together

It’s none of turning points business where I am. App now requires location to be on. Deleting this app for sure.

I just finished a team training with Jef today and he explained this software so well! My work team plans to use this live polling technology in our student programs!

Makes you pay $25 for something that should be free

Logs me out once a week (sometimes less). Really annoying because I have to use 2FA to get back in.

- Can't go back to previous slides when the teacher goes to fast, unlike other apps like Top Hat. - Slides and quizzes won't load sometimes, requiring me to leave and join again. - One time a quiz didn't load and I got a 0. - Slides are so slow to load that I miss information when the teacher makes changes to the same slide and moves on. - Turning the phone horizontally makes the slide too big and then I have to scroll down to see the rest of the slide.

i cannot believe i had to pay $18 for this piece of crap

I’ve missed hundreds of points for attendance because of this faulty app.

App constantly logs you out and it’s difficult trying to log back in. Cant use it in class when needed .

Make this app more simpler to use for everyone. Kind regards, Leon S

Dear developers of this app , everything in the app is so small but not part where you answer questions please fix this i cant even read what it says most if the time like come on man 😒.

Very complicated, very hard to use

This app deserves 0 stars. Takes 10 minutes or more to load or says there is an invalid ID. 9/27/2018 Update: It is now 2020 and if this company really cared they would have improved in the last two years. Thankfully, my school has been switching away from turningpoint to more reliable sources like clicker reef, pearson in-class participation, and even kahoot. Also turningpoint, don’t apologize for any inconvenience its been too long. 9/21/2020

This is a scummy business, they know that they’re exploiting students who have a class where it is mandatory for them to dl this app and they choose to charge an exorbitant price for an app who’s simplicity should make it free, I hope eventually that there is a law against this and I hope the creators know that they are actively hurting the advancement of the human species

It’s frustrating when the app gets glitchy during class especially after the amount of money we spent for a subscription. These glitches can also occur on the professor’s side too.

I have to use this app for several of my college courses and it crashes randomly and half of the time it won’t allow you to log in

Consistently logged us out and a month into the school year our teacher has only gotten it to work once. After I purchase a subscription it should work but it doesn’t for several classes. Just a bad app and system

Not working for me all the time

I had to download this app for my spring term class because my professor required this as a form of attendance meaning we had to use this only in class. When the Coronavirus hit my city everything changed to remote learning so I didn’t have to use the app anymore because I was not attending class. I asked for a refund because I only used the app for a couple of weeks in class and they weren’t able to help me out. Very disappointing that they can’t help out students when they need it. Never using this again.

You see other apps go for 5$ at most. Just another mandatory college scam app you gotta get to graduate.

👌

These people have no shame whatsoever. They charge $30 because they know most people will not have a choice but to buy it. There’s plenty of alternatives to this terrible company.

I have used turning point technologies for several classes. Each class there was a problem. The customer service is TERRIBLE! They give you the run around. I would not recommend. I would give zero stars if that was possible. Wish I never had to use this service. Still waiting on rebate from two months ago. Called and spoke to several different people it’s like they don’t track the communication.

We shouldn’t need to sign in every time we use the app. It’s very difficult when class wants a quick answer.

Stop

Corporate greed at its finest. May Turning Point go bankrupt.

This app is nonsense and works half the time if your school uses it I wish you best of luck I don’t write reviews but cmon like cmon it just doesn’t work
