I’m an iPhone user and have iPhone 12, iPhone SE(2nd Generation), iPhone X and iPhone 6. I am using Nearpod a lot. But it works with iOS 14 mobiles iPhone 12, iPhone SE(2nd Generation), iPhone X etc. But why have you removed Nearpod in iOS 12 devices? When I download this app, it is showing Download an older version? I will tab Download. But after many days, the app is not opening. Please check it.
Suggestion
I really like the app as it is interactive and very compact for phones and IPads. When I sign in I get 5 options. Library is a new beautiful library and thousands of lessons in explore. As we enter code there is a very interactive lesson. But the best part which is create lesson and reports is in web and web version has very small buttons and hard to do.
I suggest you don’t send us to browser instead make another interactive section for reports and create lesson. If you do this full stars for you.
Even if you don’t change it I still like it but would be even happier if this message is took into consideration.
Nearpod does the hard work
Nearpod is asking for student class codes. why does Nearpod ask for student class codes? we’re gonna find out why nearpod is asking for student class code. nearpod is asking for student class codes because students are joining nearpod lesson’s. Students want to join nearpod lessons so they can use their class code to join nearpod lessons. keep doing the hard work nearpod.
Nearpod Hates Teachers
Don’t use if you’re a teacher. Currently, the mobile app completely crashes as soon as you press “explore.” If you try to use the Chrome website, it will prompt you to download the app with no ability to proceed otherwise. And then you see the cycle. Nearpod clearly does not care about supporting teachers, and I will be encouraging my fellow districts to stop using it.
Bad
Nearpod has been one of the most frustrating, unreliable, and disappointing tools I have ever encountered. I cannot overstate just how many problems this platform has and how difficult it makes even the simplest of tasks. It’s supposed to be a solution for enhancing classroom engagement and creating interactive learning experiences, but it ends up being more of a barrier to effective teaching than a benefit. The platform is riddled with issues, from a clunky and outdated user interface to constant technical failures that derail lessons, waste time, and frustrate both educators and students alike.
The interface is one of the worst I’ve ever used. It’s not intuitive, it’s not easy to navigate, and it takes far too many steps to complete even the most basic functions. Setting up a lesson is a chore that feels unnecessarily complex. You’d think a platform designed for educators would prioritize ease of use, but Nearpod seems determined to make everything as difficult as possible. There’s no logical flow to the way the menus and options are organized, so you end up wasting precious time just trying to figure out where things are. This is especially frustrating when you’re working under time constraints or trying to adapt a lesson on the fly. The platform seems to prioritize looking flashy over being functional, and it shows.
Then there are the technical problems, which are far too frequent to ignore. The platform crashes, lags, or freezes so often that it’s impossible to maintain any kind of momentum during a lesson. You could be in the middle of an important activity, and suddenly the system just stops working. This disrupts the entire flow of the class, causing students to lose focus and interest. Worse still, these issues aren’t limited to one type of device or browser. Whether you’re on a laptop, tablet, or phone, whether you’re using Chrome, Safari, or anything else, you’re bound to encounter some kind of glitch. It’s incredibly frustrating to have a tool that is supposed to make teaching easier actually make it harder by being so unreliable.
The interactive features, which Nearpod heavily advertises, are another huge disappointment. On paper, they sound great—quizzes, polls, collaborative boards, and other tools to get students engaged. In practice, they’re poorly executed and often don’t work properly. Students frequently experience issues with their responses not saving or being marked incorrectly, even when they’re right. The collaborative features,
UI is horrible
Problems:
- Device locked in landscape mode
- iOS on-screen keyboard gets in the way of content
- No zoom function on drawings
- Some critical design elements are not clickable
- No dark mode, app overrides dark mode keyboard
Conclusion: All of this would be fixed by enabling the ability to switch to portrait mode. If you want to use Nearpod on iOS, just use the browser version.
iOS bug
This has been a problem for a while and I still can’t believe it’s not fixed you. If you have an iPhone you can’t access any of your stuff or assignments the only thing you get is download the app and when you do and try to login it gives an erro saying student information is currently unavailable on iOS . I have tried on others peoples iPhones and it gives the same issue.
Can’t click on links
I can’t click on links that are in a presentation, something very important for these kinds of things
Susy game
Mid ahhh game
Ehh
I like nearpod, but I can’t use all of the features if I use the app. I might as well just delete the app altogether because there’s no purpose for it if I have to use my computer. Please fix.
