I've used Explain Everything on an IPad and enjoyed my experience with it. However, for whatever reason, Explain Everything here is abysmal. It's common for changes you make to straight up revert with no input. I was working on a project but then it suddenly closed itself and delete everything I had changed up to that point. I have no idea how one version of this app could work perfectly and another so terribly, both on mobile devices.

To invite students in is too cumbersome. I have to uninstall this app. Students can't get through all the given means of invites. I can't refer this app to our students anymore.

Some apps are so good and big that are in another level compared to other apps. And "I believe" these apps must be 90% FREE. I loved everything from this app and I'd always even dreamed about such an app. However, having to pay for this app, is like having to pay for Google, YouTube or Google Sheets! I can't even add a second slide in the free plan! I beg to disagree with your commercial model. I believe 90% of the features must be free and only the other professional 10% must be paid for.

We're sorry to hear that! Our Free Plan does have some limitations, but it permits users to try out all the project editing features without a subscription. It allows you to create 3 projects, with 1 slide and 1 minute of recording. You can compare the features of a subscription and a free plan here: https://explaineverything.com/pricing
