Plickers

Plickers is a great little app, but it doesn't yet deliver the standard I was hoping for. Being an iPhone app, and not an iPad app, the screen resolution is all wrong on an iPad. Then, V2 keeps crashing on an iPad. There is also a significant time delay in reporting on all the card results. Sometimes it will only show all my students' results after I have closed and reopened the app. However, when it works, it works really well. I continue to use it, despite the hassles, because it is such a great little app. If the crashing and time delay issues could be sorted out, I would rate this 5 stars.

Use to enjoy using this APP with students last year. Tried bringing it back to classroom this year however can’t sign in through APP. A message asking me to continue kept popping up and disappearing as if glitched. I tried uninstalling and installing, did not solve the problem.

Update: it’s working now like before! Awesome. My students really liked it! I haven’t used this app in awhile but was going to have my ESL students answer questions to engage them in answering without computers. I made sure I had all updates on app and phone and it won’t open. Just crashes from start. Can’t use.

Bug fixes are still needed. During scanning (camera) mode the app will often exit the mode early before I can scan in all the card. There should be a way to recover from this (reactivate the question).

When I used this for the first time in class, there were a lot of delays between my app and what was showing up on the projector from my coteacher’s computer. When I moved to the next question on my phone, it didn’t move on the projector for students. My coteacher uses an Android and her phone had a much faster connection to send commands to project percentage correct and other data to students.

I love to use this for my exit tickets in the classroom, however it crashes every other day. I have to consistently delete and download onto my phone in order for it to work.

I love the app but there are times when students are a bit far away. Please update where you can pinch and zoom to get closer! Thanks Plickers

Bring back the old Plickers

I must be missing something. I downloaded it- have seen others do it but have no idea how to get started and there are zero tutorials. Not user friendly for newbies

I have a love hate relationship with Plickers. It’s an excellent idea and it scans flawlessly. You can arrange questions in folders BUT when you want to make a quiz you have to choose from ALL questions lumped together at once! You can’t do it in advance. It is a nightmare. Sure, now they’ve added a paywall so you can actually group your questions into sets. I literally just gave my students a quiz on the wrong chapter because this app is so awful in execution. Thanks “we will always be free” Plickers. I’d pay upfront for this—I even paid for laminated cards, but I’m not paying monthly for an app that does one thing. Don’t waste your time. There are better solutions.
