Features & Capabilities

Top Hat is the companion app to our assessment platform, designed to help you learn better before, during, and after class. It keeps you connected with professors, peers, and course content while letting you follow lecture slides on your device, contribute with an in-app response system, and engage in in-app discussions.

Content is course-tailored with dynamic, interactive textbooks that include images, videos, and audio. You can read digital materials anywhere and keep them forever. Quizzes and polls, along with graded or non-graded homework, help improve retention and gauge understanding, all on your mobile or laptop.

User Reviews

Users report Top Hat is plagued by instability and load failures. The app and website frequently crash or lag, and questions or content fail to load, causing missed questions and points. The product requires a reliable internet connection and remains slow even on fast networks. Students often lose points due to submission issues, and professors/students describe a confusing, inconsistent UI across platforms. Customer support is perceived as unhelpful, and some reviews label the service overpriced given the recurring issues.

This isn’t the first time that the app doesn’t keep up with presentation. I tried everything, from reinstalling, updating and even clearing cache. I spoke to customer service agent Ederlyn Q, whose only suggestion was to use the website as I am trying to troubleshoot the app. Leaves me on read and then ends the chat like the issue was solved. Spoiler, it wasn’t. I am not the only person that has had issues with the app on both my phone and tablet, I thought that because most of the negative reviews came from a few years back they would have fixed the lagging issue , but nope. The app bugs, lags and will have a stroke mid presentation

Every time I open my iPad and open the app, it says there is an error. I have to logout the app and login once again everyday to use it. Not only that the connection is just incredibly slow and I have missed a lot of questions from this. One of the worst apps humanly possible. Even iClicker is better than you.
