Boom Cards

I have been using boom cards for several years with my esl students. It is a fantastic resource and just what I needed. Making decks is a lot of work but worth it. I am able to make digital activities that are geared exactly to the material I am teaching my students, even usually my own recorded voice. Once made I can assign these decks to digital classrooms and add or remove students as needed. I highly recommend this resource.

As a homeschooling mom of three energetic kids ages 13, 12 and 9, finding the right educational resources that save time and efficiently track progress is crucial. Boom Learning has become an indispensable part of our daily routine. This platform has truly been a game changer for us offering a variety of interactive and engaging digital activities that not only keep my kids interested but also cater to different learning needs. I am able to collect real-time data on each child’s progress, monitor their achievements and areas where they might need more focus. I can do all of this without having to manually check their work. I also use this for portfolios and yearly reviews. This allows me to concentrate on other important aspects of homeschooling and family life.

Can’t tell you how many sessions I’ve prepped for then go to open boom cards and it doesn’t work. So irritating

I am a RBT and work with young children with Autism. Boom cards can be a fantastic resource for therapists and teachers alike. Now for the frustrating part. You can only build decks on the website. It’s annoying and aggravating that I can’t simply go to the app on my phone or iPad and make a deck to cater to a specific child. I have to wait until I get to my computer and build the deck on the website. Forget trying to use the website on your phone or iPad. It only makes things 10 times more aggravating!

Stupid

I love this service and the concept is great. However, recently whenever I open the app and prep before an online lesson, then try to open in a lesson , I get a blank screen. I have to access boom cards through the internet not the ap. It takes minutes away from a lessons while I recalibrate. I have an updated version of the app. I’m now debating if I should keep my premium membership or downgrade for a service that is not performing properly.

As an SLP, I see many students with a variety of needs. I have found so many wonderful resources to use with my students and the children love the variety! I must say that I have not encountered any of problems mentioned in some other reviews. The app has matured quite a bit in the last 2 years and I would caution against basing any decision about whether or not to try the app on older reviews.

I cannot drag and drop decks to custom folders using an iPad Pro and I am unable to get any tech support. I was also unable to schedule a tech support call through the website. I am happy to change my review if this can get resolved.

If you are the app developer, please note that “Studio” does not work and the layout is not optimized for the new home indicator bar — which currently occludes the bottom tabs. This is basically just the web site in a wrapper.

My son’s kinder class requires this ap. It usually works on his chrome book, but it always freezes on his iPad. It will work for a while, then stop allowing him to move tiles around. It’s frustrating and makes it not user friendly for little kids.
