SlideShare for Negative User Reviews

TerribleCrashes every time i try to open a slide.Version: 1.15.7

Horrible WebsiteThis is an extremely difficult application to use and is entirely too difficult for what is is. It makes it impossible to create an account and is constantly pushing for you to download the app version. It is very inconvenient..Version: 1.15.5

Could be betterThe app looks nice but it is hard to find what i'm looking for. I am only able to put a certain amount of letters in the search bar. This makes it impossible to search for what i want because there is not enough space..Version: 1.13

Can’t login, and their website doesn’t work on ipad suddenlyI signed up on the website through Scribd. No option to login through Scribd on the app. Website doesn’t allow me to view or download the file that my college professor uploaded. I can see the first page only. Can’t enlarge, can’t go to next slide. Thought the app would fix the issue. BUT NOT IF I CAN’T GET IN! 🙃You’d think that a Scribd company site/app would allow you to sign in with Scribd, especially since it’s a sign-in/sign-up option on the website. I even tried entering my actual email and password but it just says “oops, check your email/password” 😤.Version: 1.16

Can't really tell - Can't even log inI downloaded the app (iOS 13.2, iPad Pro 10.5), selected login with linkedin acct, and entered my linkedin email/password. The reply was some check the email/password msg. Rinse, repeat, rinse, repeat - same results! I then tried logging in with my Facebook account - no joy there either. I even tried logging in via both methods using a web browser; got errors there as well - what the hey! BTW, my account info WAS entered correctly. I read a review from someone else who had difficulty logging in. The response was a link at a SlideShare help page. I visited the page and it was something about acceptable behavior for teens!.Version: 1.15.6

It doesn’t workI logged in and everything but when I click slide it just crashes. So I analyzed why it crashes. So it crashes due to the message displayed on top. If user clicks ok and message disappears the slides will crash. If user doesn’t clicks ok it will not crash..Version: 1.15.7

Can’t login with LinkedIn passwordI downloaded the app and tried to login and it said “oops something is wrong” or some such. I reset my password Successfully on LinkedIn thinking that was the problem. I still can’t login. As much use as a sponge leg in the rain....Version: 1.15.1

Can’t loginI don’t have a LinkedIn account or slideshare account so I attempted to login with Facebook. After being redirected back to the app, I just get an error message saying that the Facebook login didn’t work with buttons telling me to try again or cancel. It never works I just keep getting the error message when I retry. I just wanted to check the app out. If this is all because I don’t have LinkedIn then the error message should notify the user of that..Version: 1.15.5

Annoying appI am really annoyed whenever I click a link to open in Slideshare app, it's not getting loaded..Version: 1.15.1

Crashes on document openIf i try to openany visible documents it works but when i earch for documents and try to open any of them- it crashes.Version: 1.15.7

MrLooks like a great idea but after viewing a slide share I can't see a way to get back to my newsfeed without quitting the app - which is annoying....Version: 1.13

Truly awfulI have never left an app review before, but my experience with this one prompted me to write this. On an IPhone X, across WiFi and 4G, the app won’t load slideshares when promoted to view on the app from Safari. It constantly tries to load, but nothing happens. You are better off just using the web interface instead and not wasting time or bandwidth downloading the app..Version: 1.15.1

Could be betterYou can only view the presentations and study the information that's been supplied. you are unable to access the PowerPoint presentations..Version: 1.0.0

Can’t get login, difficult to get inSo I downloaded this app expecting a simple sign up since I’ve never used this app before and turns out I needed to install another app just to work this app (LinkedIn) which is not very convenient and on that note it still didn’t work it just kept saying “hmm something went wrong, try again?” Like some gave over screen in an arcade please fix this or tell me how to login..Version: 1.15.5

Crashes when changing orientation to landscapeApp crashes when trying to view presentations in landscape..Version: 1.5

Crashes constantlyI have had no success with using this app. Each time I open a slide show it crashes. Tried everything and no change. Disappointing, I’m hoping this is an easy fix.Version: 1.15.7

So much potentiolThis App really makes me excited BUT theres so much wasted potential Theres no reason this app cant be as big as twitter or any other titan of the App industry But theres a few basic things they could improve on, first of all theres mo dates under the slideshows, meaning that all of informative slides are actually very dated They could potentially create a NEWS service, where you can read the daily news in a simple slide format with short sentences and bullet points Overall im not going to delete this App and im hoping that they can get more content on there App, and find ways of rewarding contributors.Version: 1.15.6

AwfulDon't have a LinkedIn and can't make a slide share account within the app. Plus "something went wrong" trying to connect with facebook. Pointless app if I can't use it ugh.Version: 1.2.2

App CrashingUnfortunately app crashes when searching and selecting a presentation..Version: 1.15.7

CrashesIt keeps crashes when i open the slides.Version: 1.15.7

App crashes!Can’t read anything — apps crashes!.Version: 1.15.7

Good conceptI do quite like this app and how you can get information on so many different things, but every time I go to click on one of the subjects I want to read it kicks me out of the app. I don’t know if it’s just me or what, but it’s very frustrating. I’ve tried multiple times to get into the subject that I want, but it just won’t let me. Sometimes it will, but most of the time it just throws me out..Version: 1.15.7

GoodGreat app just wish you could delete some files that you download.Version: 1.15.1

Needs better search capacityGood to have categories of note rest to follow but they are to broad, especially those selected by me; education, social media and Internet. Arts should be a specific category not in with Entertainment. If this product is connected via Linked In, why can't we follow the work of our network? Or even the new topics from those we already follow on Slideshare? These somewhat narrow parameters should allow a more nuanced feed of work in those areas not the entire subject from your selection. Being for a portable device this needs to work more like an RSS feed not a random Google search..Version: 1.12

By far the worst POSNo one at LinkedIn is working to fix it!.Version: 1.15.1

Useful but lackingIn the interest of honesty, I will say, I have only just downloaded the app. I can see how useful it potentially is, and maybe I have missed a feature or done something wrong, but I have already stumbled across multiple presentations where the information is entirely useless without some kind of media other than the slide image. For example, I was disappointed to see that links had been embedded into an original presentation and in the presentation it said to click the images to find more. Upon clicking i found that it was simply an image of the slide and no further media was included..Version: 1.15.1

UpsetThe layout seems pleasant and user friendly but I'm having difficulty signing in with Facebook. When I use that option it says "oops we have a problem".Version: 1.6

Login requiredNo idea about the app, but you do need a LinkedIn, Facebook or SlideShare account to even start it. Not really a surprise (the user is the product being sold), but, since they don't warn about this in the App Store, I deleted the app..Version: 1.02

.Can’t sign up.Version: 1.15.1

CrapWon't let me log in - completely useless.Version: 1.15.1

App switches offEvery time I click on slide show, the app switches off !!!!!!!!.Version: 1.15.7

Requires loginJust like the requirement of app purchase to use the app, apps which require a login to use should be indicated before choosing to install an app. Why bother to use the app if the web version works? They advertise its a better experience but don’t mention the app requires a login - that’s not better IMO..Version: 1.15.5

No facility to set up a new SlideShare accountJust downloaded, and it requires I log on with either LinkedIn, FB or SlideShare. I’d like to create a new SideShare account but there is no option. I’m deleting this app now..Version: 1.15.5

M&A Bug?Since the announcement of the Merger and Acquisition SlideShare routinely crashes. Additionally we’re required to read and understand the new policies at each log in or religion after each crash which is likely part of the crash problem. Search is not optimum. How many BS pdf or slides do we need promoting a commercial sale of say a book? It isn’t dozens..Version: 1.15.7

ParA lot of good information, but you have to sift through a lot of junk to find the good stuff.Version: 1.15.1

Saved Slides DisappearWhen i save slides after few minutes all slides vanish from saved list and then i have to search them again. Kindly solve this Issue..Version: 1.15.1

Just Google it...Nope. Just a time waster. I chose my Favorite categories, but I am only offered 6 or 7 selections in each category - can’t find any way to see any others, without just searching. The FAQ doesn’t open, so is useless. Learning how to use this “educational” app is a time-intensive hunt and peck process, for which I don’t have time. Either offer instructions to use this or don’t bother. Just Google instead. It’s much, much quicker..Version: 1.15.5

Horrible but don't know the app because can't "sign in"Since I don't have an account with SlideShare, I can't use it because it doesn't give you the option to create an account. All it says are sign in with a bunch of different things that are either not working or I don't have and forgot my password. Now I can't even get past the log in because I don't know how to create an account and can't sign in. The developers of this app are IDIOTS.Version: 1.15.6

Won't work full screen (widescreen : landscape)I can't get this to display in landscape mode by tilting my phone and there aren't options to do that manually so this is poorly designed - it's not really any better than viewing on the web directly..Version: 1.4

Would be great... if it worked!!!Like many others have said, every time I try to open a slide I get kicked out of the app. I’ve wasted entirely too much time now trying over and over again because there seems to be a lot of great content for whatever I search, but I don’t have time or patience for this!!! Fix it and I will give 5 stars!.Version: 1.15.7

Couldn’t even get in the appI got it- logged in and then went off the app. When I had gotten back on earlier after finding a poetry book I wanted to read- I was logged out. I tried logged in over and over again. After a bit I realized it must’ve been because my account didn’t go through or something. So I tried creating my account but there was no where I could, I was locked in a screen where I could only login- but I had no account to log in too. So I deleted it and downloaded it again but I was locked in the same screen again. I’m a little devastated because it seems like a really nice and creative app- twas the three star instead of one - but of course I’ll never see the app. Anyway you could help would be amazing!.Version: 1.15.5

Please Fix This!!!Every time I try to open one of the presentations it automatically gets me out of the app 😓 This is a serious problem because I need the app for school purposes 😵 Please fix this!.Version: 1.15.7

Beta designMissing filter on iPhone version and not fully working on iPad, only support 2x mode. Please release an iPad version of the app, otherwise don't prompt me to download the app while I'm browsing with safari!.Version: 1.2.3

HaThis is really bad coz it doesn't even work and I'm not even lying like why would I even lie I never lie stop looking at me like that! I'm sorry to say this but Apple you have disappointed me by letting this app be on the AppStore.Version: 1.9

Can’t log inI can’t log in with facebook Why?? Whenever try to log in with facebook , a block apperas and saying that "Sorry something went wrong pls try again " amd then I have to go into the login procedure again!! why!!!!!.Version: 1.15.5

Good but few glitchesIt’s a pretty neat app with presentations from a wide range of topics. Search results are usually related but with broad sidelines and even 2 matching words appear in search. However I mostly end up finding useful stuff. I rated it 3 because of the glitches of the app itself that are really annoying. For one, my saved slides keep on disappearing even while I’m viewing them. I simply go back and they’re no more there. When you turn to search for them again, it’s a matter of chance whether you gonna come across the same again or not. Pure luck I guess..Version: 1.15.5

CrapCan’t view anything without signing in. There’s no where to create a new account. Must use LinkedIn or Facebook to sign in but doesn’t recognize log in for linked in and it’s not supported by Facebook, which makes the app completely unusable. How did this app pass beta testing?.Version: 1.15.5

No way to open from webThere is no way for app to open the slide in the app when you shared it CIA email. Search is different from what is available on the web couldn't find the same results Useless.Version: 1.1.0

Problem in log inI changed my iPhone so i want to relog in in my new phone , i wouldn'topen my account which linked to facebook Can you fix the problem Best regard.Version: 1.16

Won’t load docsI’ve been trying for the last hour and a half to just simply load a slide share from LinkedIn and every time I click a different link it crashes the app..Version: 1.15.7

Why even the “Saved” slides are so pixelated?Nice app for people to view shared slides online, however, I had the problem with the quality of slides, even I had them downloaded or saved, when viewing the slides, the contents are still not so clear and so pixelated..Version: 1.15.5

Can’t enter appI used SlideShare for 2 glorious nights many months ago. Tried to get back on recently, and up to now, have wasted at least 4 hours, changing passwords again and again, only to immediately afterward receive a message of “Oops. You clearly don’t remember your email address or password.” Fact is I just changed my password, not 2 minutes ago! I have deleted the app 3x out of frustration. Had to give a review since the help area was no help at all. For content that I feel is so good, the access and help areas are completely lacking for me..Version: 1.15.5

Going from bad to worse.App is now unstable. Crashes every time I view a presentation. Now that linked in has washed its hands off Slideshare, it’s time to leave. I can’t see anything but chaos as scribd takes it over and tries to monetise their acquisition..Version: 1.15.7

I don’t understand the reviewsI found the app because I was looking for a book and I just found 4 silly slides from different people (apparently they look Chinese or neighbours). On those slides, there is a link that you supposed to “click” and it takes you to another page where you have to register and of course it will ask for your card details 😂 I don’t understand the point of this app. Obviously this last page is a scam, I read the reviews of one of them called “DonnaPlay” 🤷🏻‍♀️.Version: 1.15.6

Issue with FacebookI can’t use this app due to issue with implementation of Facebook and I don’t want to use my linked in account and it also won’t let me make a new log in because there is no option to. So I’m left with an app I can’t use and really want to use. PLEASE FIX.Version: 1.15.5

Why doesn't the app automatically open when I click on a SlideShare link?I downloaded the app thinking it would give me a nicer experience than your mobile site. Not that the mobile site is bad at all. But whenever I get an email with a link it always pops up and says "would you like to download the app?". I have the app. When I repeat the process, my iPhone realises I have the app and suggests I open it. I do, but I never see the presentation I originally clicked on. So, there's little value in the app from my point of view..Version: 1.0.1

Open in app not workingPlease fix the open in app feature. The most typical use case is finding SlideShare content in search, then clicking the open in app link. Once the app opens, the loading message comes up, hangs indefinitely, effectively crashing the app. Please fix this..Version: 1.15.1

Needs an updateIt work alright but I can't access my liked slides or my saved ones, please fix.Version: 1.4

Need more facilitiesIt's good app but need more updates First can't open from Google or versus Second can't download the pdf from it It will become just a wonderful application if can do the previous 2 thing.Version: 1.15.1

App crashesThe moment I try to open a document the app immediately crashes. Please fix this!.Version: 1.15.7

Couldn’t even create an account.Garbage. Wouldn’t even allow me to create an account. Asked for a different phone number. How many phone numbers do normal people have? What’s wrong with a perfectly good phone number. LinkedIn needs to fix this..Version: 1.15.5

Log inI can’t log in with my Facebook app.Version: 1.15.5

Great content but buggy as hellAll in the title. Great content and well presented, just crashes out far too frequently so general stick to the web site..Version: 1.15.7

Nothing for iPadCome on guys, surely, and only in portrait?.Version: 1.0.0

Requires signinYet viewing a slideshare on the web is terrible, so what are we supposed to do?.Version: 1.7
