IClicker Student for Negative User Reviews
✓ Unreasonable priceExpensive subscription, many bugs and glitches.Version: 6.4.2
✓ What a scamMinimum subscription length is 6 months. School semesters are 4 months. Forcing you to pay an extra 2 months for nothing. Straight up scam. Offer a subscription based on length of school semesters..Version: 6.4.1
✓ CrashesSometimes it crashes during class and can't reconnect itself within 5 minutes.Version: 5.0.1
✓ Terrible, waste of moneyGlitches out all the time, so you can’t answer the questions in time, so you loose out on participation plus you have to pay for it. Plus no refunds....Version: 5.7.2
✓ Lost marksNot reliable, glitched absences.Version: 6.4.5
✓ SighIt’s a great app but why do u have to make us pay for participation ?? I’m already broke thanks.Version: 5.7.2
✓ Terrible on older phonesIt works terrible under pressure! I can not have more than one app open for iClicker to work! I've missed so many clicker questions in class, in turn losing participation points, because the app will crash so often or take so long to upload the question! I'm stuck between a rock and a hard place..Version: 4.2.1
✓ Rip offI’m in a 16 week semester course and payed the $15 subscription but they screw you over in the sense that it doesn’t even cover the full semester. So with less than a month left in the course I have to re-purchase the subscription in order to answer the last 20 days of in class questions. They need to reevaluate their subscription lengths..Version: 6.1.1
✓ Literally horribleIf we have to pay at least make the app less buggy. Jesus christ.Version: 6.1.4
✓ Gets the job done I guessIClicker is a fine app. It does what it needs to do- no more, no less. While the UI isn’t amazing it’s fine. Really, my main issue is the absolute lack of notification when the event is ready to be “clicked” into. Example being that I am in a school that does their required attendance using iClicker. The windows for clicking in are inconsistent, and we do not know when we need to click in unless it’s verbally announced which doesn’t often happen. I guarantee a satisfied audience will be 100% more attainable if push notifications were added for when to click in. Thanks.Version: 6.6
✓ An actual scamThis app is usually not covered by college tuition and makes you pay $15 for 6 months of what is essentially a ping. $15 to be able to answer some questions is a horrible waste of money and there are better options out there (like Poll Everywhere).Version: 6.6.2
✓ Professors please stop using thisThis app works maybe 25% of the time. The first 3-4 weeks of class the geo system would not connect and my class was not able to use this app at all. After that issue was finally solved it would still not load most days. It was not worth the money to have an app that doesn’t work, please don’t use this in your classroom..Version: 6.1
✓ Waste of moneyThe most I’ve ever spent on apps is $2, and those provide a variety of useful features and information. iClicker is only used to answer a few questions for one class a couple times each week and is not worth a $14 subscription. I would much rather buy a movie or go out for dinner with that money. It’s worth $0.99 at most..Version: 5.7
✓ Constantly not working properlyI missed questions during lecture because this app is not working. I paid for it!!!!.Version: 6.6.2
✓ Update appDoesnt send a confirmation email or anything when you purchase a subscription to show proof you paid. And even if you did pay, the purchase subscription options comes up again making people think it didn’t go through. It should be a user’s right to be sent a confirmation email of purchase when a credit card is used. Had to risk attendance to see if I actually had a subscription or not..Version: 6.6.2
✓ TrashAlways crashes and I have trouble logging in. Forever reconnecting me..Version: 5.0.2
✓ Waste of MoneyThis is a scheme intended to milk poor college students of what money they have. Given the existence of free apps like TopHat which do the same thing, there is no point to dropping so much money on an iClicker subscription. In fact, TopHat probably has better quality just because of iClicker’s occasional glitchiness. Although iClicker usually gets the job done, albeit sometimes with frustration, I was very annoyed that my professor had his students use this app. Alas, not my choice though. If you’re a student like me, you probably have no choice but to buy this app. If you’re a professor though, I beg you, please do not make your students waste money on this app. They’re already paying enough for college and TopHat will do a better job for you. If the developer reads this, please seriously consider reducing the price of this app or make it free. I would give the app 4 or 5 stars if that wish is granted..Version: 5.4.0
✓ It asked me to review and I’m pettyIt inconvenienced me today and the reviews will be the greater victim.Version: 6.6.2
✓ TERRIBLEI would give zero stars if I could. When I first started using iclicker I thought it was just crappy, but ever since my other professor has us using Tophat, this app is really sucky. Iclicker constantly disconnects during the class period, and if your teacher waits even as little as 6 min to ask the next clicker question, chances are you will have to refresh the page and log back in. Which keep in mind may count you as absent. I know it is not my internet connection because my laptop has very good internet connection and I have never experienced these issues with Tophat. Tophat is also much better because I as a student can study the materials even when class is not in session, as well as answer practice questions. TopHat has my five stars..Version: 5.0.4
✓ SpottySo disgusted to pay for an app that doesn’t work when I need it to. I spend so much time in class fiddling with this application when I’m supposed to be learning and paying attention to the professor. It’s quite disheartening to charge a high price for something that doesn’t do the job. So irritating. Never recognizes my correct location, and it’s not my phone. I have missed out on countless poll questions due to failure of this application working properly. Thank you for nothing Reef..Version: 5.2.0
✓ Someone is reefing these benefits... and its not those that have to purchase/use it. The app constantly logs me off and even when teacher posts a question I always have to reset app to have it appear. The cost does not, at all, match the services. The app is not worth it and i have had other professors use similar programs/apps that do the same thing for free..Version: 5.2.3
✓ Ridiculously laggyFor an app that has such a high subscription fee, the user interface is infuriating. Joining a class takes forever and the app crashes all the time. In order for it to launch properly you have to make sure that no other apps are open, which is not practical at all if I'm trying to do something else at the same time, and if I want it to stay open, I have to make sure that I have the app constantly open. If I swipe away for just a few seconds, the app crashes again. This is absurd considering that the actual function of the app is so basic. Every design element feels like a minimal amount of effort was put into it. If I didn't have to use this for a class, I definitely would not be using this app..Version: 5.7.2
✓ Battery Leech, Privacy issues.Tracks PRECISE location whole duration of class. Potentially a bug, but 50% (!!) battery consumed on 2020 SE over 90 minutes. No option to “check in” at the location, then disable tracking. Cannot even join class without location services, wifi, and precise tracking locked on. Unacceptable, slap in the face of students who care about privacy..Version: 6.4.5
✓ Very DisappointedIClicker are my professor’s ways of keeping attendance. I had heard that I would eventually be charged to keep the app. I expected a notification that my free trial would be coming to a close. Right when we needed to check attendance in my Chem lecture I was notified, then and there, that I could not use it because my free trial had run out with no heads up. I missed the time limit to check in for attendance as I was scrambling to pay for the app. It had been a very long week and it was the last thing I needed. I could not be more disappointed..Version: 5.2.0
✓ This service is terribleThis app acts as a substitute for the remotes you can buy for doing polls. The problem is, the remotes are terrible, cost way more than they’re worth, and require a subscription fee to work. This is annoying, what’s worse is that the app also doesn’t work without the subscription fee. Worse still is that they sell multiple remotes, the app includes all the functionality of all of the remotes, but not everyone who requires you to use this service lets you use the app. So you get the app, pay the subscription fee, find out you can’t use the app, buy a remote, find out that remote doesn’t work, then buy another remote. If someone is making you use reef polling, get this app. If you try to make someone use reef polling, you are a terrible person..Version: 4.2.2
✓ UpdateThe updating of the grades usually takes about 2 days.Version: iOS 6.2.3
✓ I cannot buy a subscriptionTried to buy a subscription for class, wouldn’t allow me because it’s says one of the parameters is invalid even though I put it in correctly..Version: 6.4.2
✓ Many problems that interrupt class timeThis app is a great concept, but at times it glitches and makes our professor stop class for students to catch up. I hope they can fix these issues soon, as students have to purchase this app that should work perfectly fine..Version: 6.1.2
✓ Wish it had more notification settingsThis is a pretty good app, although a bit on the basic side, however, when a new question comes up after the previous one, there is no indication whatsoever from my cell phone and/or other device that a new poll has begun. I truly wish there were more notification setting options, such as being able to set a tone/set a vibration notification that sounds when a new question appears..Version: 4.3.0
✓ AwfulOnly works 1/10 times major technical issues!!!.Version: 6.1
✓ GarbageThis app is a wast of time, can't find your class nor teacher. Total garbage.Version: 3.5.0
✓ Good appNot a bad app. i just hate that i need to use it for school.Version: 5.4.0
✓ IssuesHalf the time it wouldn’t work and just said “Error” but didn’t tell me what was wrong. I came to find out that my free trial was overdue- would’ve been nice to have been told instead of missing questions for class. It also logs me out and takes forever to load when coming back and missing questions do to that. When it does work, however, it’s great..Version: 5.4.0
✓ Always freezesThe worst app.Version: 5.4.0
✓ Garbage appQuestions often don’t appear and you need to restart this garbage app.Version: 6.3.5
✓ Unoptimized mess.This app is overall just a mess. The app doesn’t stay in the background for more than 1 minute, consistently relaunching when I use any other app. The iPad version is an absolute joke when much less substantial apps have iPad support. I’m just really glad I only have to use this for a few minutes a day because it’s a horrible mess that I’m forced to pay for..Version: 5.5
✓ Useless app. You gonna fail if you use the app!This app backs you out from the class anytime you go to another app or the phone screen times out, so you have to reconnect again into the class, which takes time and by the time it reconnects the question is done. This app is sooo annoying. Ive failed so many questions because of it. You better of getting the physical version..Version: 5.0.2
✓ I HATE this appDon’t waste you money on this stupid app. You will lose money and your attendance points. It will not let you sign in the class which is why you can’t be even answer the clicker questions, resulting in a fat zero for your participation grade. And your professors will then tell you to go buy and actual clicker because it’s not their problem if your app doesn’t work they will say, “It’s not recommended to have this app so it’s better if you get the clicker.” Like seriously somebody could have told me before I spend my money on this dumb app. I HATE this app and my professor is really bogus..Version: 5.7.2
✓ Make the app compatible with iPadWould give it a higher rating if the app was more compatible with the iPad, especially split view mode.Version: 6.3.3
✓ Profs, don’t this.There are hundreds of free options out there. Don’t make students pay to participate in class. Also the app is laggy, the free trial is short..Version: 5.2.0
✓ EvilThey don’t tell you it costs money until you’re in class one day and go to answer the question, then it hits you with a paywall. They stole $17 off me by pressuring me into paying because if I didn’t I’d lose points on my class quiz. Maliciously written to hide the paywall until you’re pressured into paying it. One star.Version: 6.6.3
✓ PaymentHaving to pay for a mandatory class tool for participation is ridiculous.Version: 6.3.3
✓ PainThis app has created more trouble for my classes than its worth, we often end up doing our quizzes on paper because issues pop up constantly and disrupt the class. The app says that the subscription is free with a clicker but this feature does NOT WORK with even slightly older clickers and you WILL have to buy a subscription. I wish my professors did not require this software..Version: 4.0.1
✓ Won't let me log inCan't sign into the app, when I enter my info and tap "sign in" the info disappears and nothing happens. Pls fix..Version: 4.0.1
✓ Just awfulToo expensive, just milking college students for money, and that’s probably the smallest problem. The app tracks your location so the professor or teacher can see where you are when the app is on, like big brother in 1984. Then the app doesn’t work if a class room doesn’t have cellular reception, so you get zero points for that day. Pice of garbage..Version: 5.7.2
✓ SubscriptionMy Reef subscription has expired, but since then I purchased an iClicker and registered the remote. Even though this registration number clearly shows up in the Profile section of the app, I’m still being prompted to renew my subscription to use the app. Then, when I click the option to register a remote, I’m redirected to a website. I shouldn’t have to deal with all this rerouting. The system should know through the app that I have a registered remote and not prompt me..Version: 4.0.1
✓ Terrible softwareThis software definitely only charges students, not professors or charge the school very less amount. This will make professors have to rely on this, so that the software will have a steady stream of income👎.Version: 6.6.2
✓ Takes your money then ruins your gradeTitle basically sums it up. I have stable internet connection and make sure to put my answer before time is up. However, this horrible app glitches and kicks me out of my own class. This has happened twice, and twice I have lost points. Terrible app and I’m extremely thankful school is starting in person again so I don’t have to use this crap. Would give 0 stars if possible..Version: 6.2.1
✓ Software bug can cause iclicker grades to disappearSince the app doesn’t push data to a server, logging out and logging back in causes app to overwrite existing data with empty data causing students to lose the marks that were previously stored on the device. Honestly, I would give your devs the middle finger, but it’s likely that they never amounted to anything to end up working for a company that doesn’t take the products it makes seriously..Version: 6.2.4
✓ TheftThis app is made purely to steal money from those who can’t not use it. It has no competitors so they can set the price to whatever they want, 2-3$ for a semester would be reasonable. Anything more than $5 isn’t. If the app did more it would be reasonable, but an app used purely to take attendance and answer the occasional multiple choice question isn’t. This app is purely theft and should not be used..Version: 5.9
✓ Can’t figure it outI can’t use it for what I need.Version: 5.7.2
✓ Buy the hand -heldThe app continuously backs you out of polls or won't connect due to poor reception. It freezes up and lags, and won't show questions on my phone screen. I don't see the point in buying an app that doesn't work. Losing percentage towards my final grade. Thanks for nothing. :|.Version: 4.0.1
✓ Lost marks because its not reliableI lost marks that I didnt have to lose bc you guys are so unreliable. Thanks a lot!.Version: 6.2.4
✓ Horrible excuse for educational techThis app is the biggest scam on the whole entire App Store. How or why would you ever need to pay a subscription for a service to answer questions in a classroom???? I honestly cannot wrap my head around the fact that this app barely does anything besides let you push a button and you still have to pay 15$ to do that for half a year???? So dumb. Also thanks for screwing up my grade.Version: 5.7.2
✓ This app sucksMy professor can't even get this app to work.Version: 3.4.0
✓ It worked for a weekThis app started out great. I used it for multiple classes and it got the job done. Then that all went out the window. The app won’t show an open session for any of my classes now and it wouldn’t for my entire class even though the handheld clickers were functioning just normally. I’m really disappointed and now my professors are making us get real clickers, so I just wasted $15. Thanks..Version: 5.0.2
✓ Stop the upchargeWe’re already paying tuition, and the college paid for us to have this course with some of that. Don’t make us cough up any more.Version: 6.3.2
✓ No option to delete courses?Can’t delete courses added accidentally.Version: 6.4.1
✓ Scam of a productIt is a subscription based multiple choice product. Polleverywhere is objectively cheaper for groups over 10 people and it is free up until 20 people. It is better in every way pricewise and provides the same service.Version: 6.4.1
✓ U sukYou charge money. Don’t charge money. I’m am poor student. Much love- C-$ Xoxo.Version: 5.7.2
✓ Answers & timeReef needs to not just show “your answer”, but it should show “correct answer” as well once the poll is over. This would help with studying. Reef needs to also show the count down timer so we know when a poll will be over. Sometime the question ends before getting the chance to respond simply because I didn’t know it was ending..Version: 5.2.3
✓ Constantly glitchingIt’s a paid app and yet it’s constantly glitching and going through questions too fast so you miss the participation marks. also as of today it doesn’t even let me join the live class. please fix these issues.Version: 5.9.6
✓ Effective and reliable, but emphasizes getting “correct” answer instead of learning from questionsThis app has been reliable and easy to use. With that said, it has one major fault: it prominently displays grades. In my opinion this is very bad pedagogy. For example: * After answering a question, students see a +1 in the top right corner. After seeing the +1, students tend to stop thinking about the question because they got the grade kick. This is bad. Students should be doing their most critical thinking *after* answering the question when they are reflecting on different ways of approaching the question and how their thinking might be flawed. The +1 moves the focus from learning to getting the grade kick. (This is especially bad when questions are graded by participation.) * Upon tapping a class, the first thing a student sees is a massive gauge displaying their clicker grade. This leaves the impression that the purpose of the clicker questions is to test students. In reality, the opposite is true: the purpose of clicker questions is to improve critical thinking and problem solving. The giant gauge sets up students to begin class with the wrong mindset. At the very least it should be possible to disable these “features” on the student side. In all cases, however, the app designers should consider improving their pedagogy by making grades less prominent..Version: 6.2.4
✓ Can't even get basic attendance right!This app often reports me as "absent", even when I am in class, and repeatedly click the "join" button during the class session. If it can't do this simple task right, I dread any future classes that use it for more major aspects of the class!.Version: iOS 6.2.3
✓ Failure of location featureThe location feature was a good idea to keep absent students from marking themselves present...BUT, it does not work. The location tracker is frequently wrong-egregiously so, and won’t let me or my classmates sign in to class. This is a PAID app that is required for courses. Talk to your professor if they want you to use it-it will steak your points and give you much grief. The app is also slow. The developers need to fix their broken systems if they want anyone to pay for this hot mess..Version: 5.2.5
✓ No iPad OptimizationPlease optimize for iPad and 11in iPad Pro.Version: 5.4.0
✓ Never works properlyQuestions do not pop up even when I am in the session the whole class, sometimes it will only gives me 5 seconds to answer and it won’t register. Do not buy this, missed so many points in class due to this service. Should at the very least vibrate when a question is up because I never know if it is actually working. Do not spend the $15 like I did..Version: 5.4.1
✓ Terrible invasion of privacyThis app tracks how many times you leave the app and reports usage to your teacher, I can’t even google words the professor asks me to. Email notification for campus invader, blocked. Clearly me not leaving an app I use for 2 seconds a day is more important than me getting campus safety notifications. Hey maybe it would be better if the machete man came for me, as long as he doesn’t close my app. The reference text that is online? Well no more referring to the text..Version: 5.6.3
✓ Shit appThe title is self explanatory.Version: 5.7.2
✓ Should be freeThis app is used in colleges just to get money off of students who already pay too much. It’s a very simple app that just lets you answer multiple choice questions which can be done in many alternative and free ways. Instead this app charges you over $15 just to have a useless subscription..Version: 5.7.2
✓ GPS trackingWhen doing the attendance poll for my class, the gps for the app will sometimes glitch out and say that I’m somewhere else than from where I actually am, and it doesn’t let me verify for attendance because of this. I am not the only one in class that has this problem. We are a class of about 30 or so, and maybe around half the class has this problem everyday. Please fix this..Version: 4.1.0
✓ It's like an ex girlfriendFirst, the app will constantly ask you if you like it. If that wasn't annoying enough, when you tell it you don't it asks why. Then it asks you again the next week. The app also frequently requires to be reset and reloaded. It's not free even though it's incredibly basic. Basically you're paying however much for a professor to have an easier job. Best part is it doesn't matter, if you're reading this you probably have to use it because it's for a class. So jokes on you, enjoy the sub par app that is more clingy that a freshman girlfriend..Version: 4.1.0
✓ Connection problemAlways have connections problems during classes 🤬.Version: 6.4.2
✓ TrashThis app never loads when I’m in class. I have missed attendance on WAY too many occasions because I cannot configure when I get notifications for class starting. I was using the question part to answer a question my professor asked and it switched my answer so I got it wrong. Please fix your app..Version: 6.4.6
✓ I dont like this game i lose alot :(This app is cheeks.Version: 6.6.3
✓ Constantly buggyIt’s such a simple concept but literally every day of class I get the same fail to reload message, refresh the feed only for it to continue to not load, and have to exit and reboot the app just to confirm my attendance. A few days this month it just never worked. I wish teachers had a better option than to be stuck with this..Version: 6.5
✓ Another way to make money off of studentsYet another way to profit off of students. It’s awesome, the free trial expires in two weeks and then instead of telling you right away if let’s you log into class and then says “looks like class has started but you’ll need to pay to access it” so you’re in the middle of lecture needing to answer a question and the app is forcing you to pay. It’s ridiculous that you have to buy a physical iclicker and then also buy a reef subscription.Version: 5.9.6
✓ Stick to the bloody remote or make an app that doesn’t lagStick to the bloody remote Thx corn lsgging you killed me.Version: 6.2.4
