Botched. MacMillan has an atrocious reputation for releasing software that is blatantly broken. This app tells me I'm not in class when I've been sitting in class for 10 minutes. Every time a question changes, it endlessly buffers and the app needs to be restarted. If you enter an answer, sometimes it endlessly buffers and needs to be restarted. Every time I get into the class page, the "Join" button often doesn't appear for a minute or more. I'm a beta tester at my grades' expense.
The app would keep freezing in the middle of class. This means I'd miss questions and thus lose points toward my class average. Great idea as far as design goes. Very poor reliability.
The app freezes every time my screen times out. I miss a lot of questions bc iClicker won't recognize my answer before the timer ends.
Turning the screen on android erases the input. Just use a broswer if your instructor is using free response numeric values.
App likes to lose connection if you turn your phone screen off, which i need to do to conserve battery throughout class. This bugs the app and requires the app to be closed and opened again, meaning you're likely to miss the opportunity to answer a question. Not like it matters, since this app is required lol
literally the worst experience trying to get my remote to work with the app. also the no refund policy is stupid.
Good until you have to pay.
Constantly fails to send answers and has no safety net to protect students from point loss completely out of our control. Edit: I installed your update. Still constantly fails to send answers and has to be force stopped and hard rebooted to even connect half the time.
I bought a remote in 2018 and registered it on the app the other day, but didn't get the five year subscription that was promised. I don't want to pay for something that I bought already, but I probably will be forced to do it.
Constantly having to leave the class and join again or restart the app. Very stressful while also trying to figure out the question answers before the clock runs out.
