VoiceThread

I’m not one to complain like this on the AppStore, but this app is genuinely the worst. My first time trying to upload something it didn’t even tell me I couldn’t access it because I didn’t download it, it gave me error code after error code. And I just did my second upload in it, half the time the continue button is greyed out for no reason, you have to continue to reopen the assignment from your blackboard to even be able to open it again. It truly is the worst and I hope after this class I never have to use it again.

what the title says

I have taken multiple online asynchronous college courses in which required me to utilize VoiceThread. Unfortunately, this app is beyond unusable and makes it near impossible to get my work done. The audio decides not to work half of the time when listening back, the reply button does not work 90% of the time, and it crashes CONSTANTLY. This is so frustrating please do something to fix this horrible app that I am forced to use to participate it class….

The speaker box that can’t be removed constantly blocks the PowerPoint

It deleted my whole project for class that I spent so much time on after i posted it. I have to redo it now. Slow app. Many technical difficulties.

It’s slow, clunky and takes forever to even start playing videos if they ever load.

This app has been broken for over a year (it is 2024 right now). It will not open assignments, it brings you to a blank page. My university knows this, is aware of it, and continues to use it. They told me to get a windows device :/. VoiceThread doesn’t allow you to use a web version on iPhone or iPad, rendering them useless for VoiceThread assignments, which I have 2x a week. Now the app also says it is out of date, and to update the app. However, the last ‘update’ was 7 months ago! If any universities read this - please rethink using this and find something else. It is broken and needs to be discontinued. You are only isolating students further.

Makes you restart everything, not sustainable, horrible quality, constantly turns off, probably isn’t even updated this for like boomers who have patience for this dumb app to upload a single video. Be better or just make a better app because this absolute dog water

This app crashes way to often. I hate that my school uses it.

Has the dev team never heard of usability or user testing?
