Ratings and reviews

Nearpod is a very interactive platform for students to show their work and what they know. There's also collaboration boards with sticky notes where you can give likes to your classmates which I feel is a pretty cool experience since it's something kids can relate to with social media nowadays. The reason I give it to stars is because it can be hard to manage. like when I am drawing with my computer mouse and let go for a second, this weird bar of tools keeps popping up. It's annoying. 😐

Many of my teachers use nearpod for lessons the website on the ground computer is great... But when I want to use my phone for these lessons I just cant. The app is completely non-functional and if I were to accidentally click on it I am stuck in the application until I restart my phone. It's utterly useless garbage that only exists to make you frustrated.

Terrible for me as a teacher! There is no log-in option. I cannot access anything Nearpod related from my phone. The app will only allow you to input a code, and if you try to open Nearpod on a browser, it tells you to get a bigger screen or use the app. Except...the app doesn't work either! Very frustrating for me as a teacher. Please work on this!
