## Description

It is proven to increase retention and engagement while enabling instructors to collect data to confirm understanding.

The mobile app supports iOS 13+ and web browser access for older devices; note that GPS running in the background can affect battery life.

## Review summary

Overall, it can be an essential polling/attendance tool in controlled environments (classrooms, town meetings, seminars) where networks and devices are reliable, and it supports live voting and discussions. However, the majority of reviews report frequent sign-in/out, crashes, lag, and missed responses, plus significant cost and occasional connectivity errors. The combination of reliability problems and price leads many to seek alternatives. Only users with stable setups report consistently positive experiences.

### Pros

- Enables live voting and attendance tracking in classes and town meetings, with real-time vote status.
- Useful for education and seminars, allowing polls and interactive discussions.
- Effectively used in real-world contexts (e.g., Town Meeting) to facilitate remote participation.
- Valued by educators and presenters for polls, attendance, and discussion during sessions.

### Cons

- Frequent sign-in/out and login issues causing missed questions and lost points.
- Crashes, glitches, and lag leading to unreliable performance during sessions.
- High price/cost for a subscription relative to features; many users feel there are better, free options.
- Connectivity and network problems that can prevent joining or staying connected.
