University decided to use this for our capstone project and it couldn’t have been any slower any clink or any clunker any non-responsive pages. Every single hassle that you could ever possibly think of came from this app because it feels like the creators just created it and then abandoned it immediately because the servers don’t respond after like any sort of reasonable time if you’re trying to access the app at a time where the servers are just super slow there you’re gonna be waiting hundred hours. There’s nothing that frustrates me more than when university decides to dump a bunch of money on a stupid app that doesn’t make any sense when we could obviously a much more reliable app that cost I don’t know $.99. It’s unfathomable for me to believe that this app is still being used for things. I was the developers would consider why the app actually has one star and probably work towards creating a more responsible, accessible, user-friendly, and easy to use app to submit an assignment with the voice thread attached to it. It should not be this hard. Come on get it together. We’re in the 21st-century. We should be able to make an app that is super easy and can literally be accessed at any time. thank you have a good day.

Since this is the only place I can actually leave a review of this absolutely abysmal application, I guess I will. I have no idea why my professors insist on using it. The UX is horrendous, the interface in general is horrendous. It’s next to impossible to access anything mobile-y and if you can’t, the display is disgusting. You can’t even make a presentation full screen (mobile or desktop). There are no common-sense navigation tools, you try to sign in to view a presentation and it just prompts you keep signing in over and over until you finally give up and accept you will never be able to view the presentation without a computer. Nothing works right, it’s got terrible accessibility, and I really don’t understand the grad school obsession with this app. It’s frankly, just flat out awful and I can’t wait until I take a class where the professor recognizes how terrible this app is and uses something with far better features on the accessibility front and otherwise. I would not recommend this app to anyone, I would seriously caution educators from continuing to or start using it, and I can’t wait until the day I’m not forced to use it anymore. Truly a terrible app.

This is truly the most annoying and worst app I think I use out of all of my apps. My school has to use this and it drives me crazy. First of all you can’t even go into landscape mode so most often when I’m trying to look at my PowerPoint they’re tiny and I can’t see anything, there’s also not a volume button. It is constantly logging me out, and I have to go back in through canvas because it won’t actually except my login information which is incredibly annoying. There is no user functionality whatsoever and I literally can’t stand using this app. Also it doesn’t allow for background app so if you ever click out of the screen, it stops what you’re doing and you have to go back in and go through the process all over again which once again takes time and is annoying. I feel like these are easy fixes, and if anyone cared about their job, they would want to change this, but it’s like they don’t even care. VoiceThread please do some updates, your users who pay lots of money deserve it.
