While Mentimeter offers a range of customization options, some users may find that the platform's design and layout limitations can be restrictive. - It isn't as fancy as some other interactive apps (eg the date visualization is slightly more basic), if you need ALL the bells and whistles, you might need something else. - No way to align slide title to the right for right to left languages Showing the message " changing alignment is not available for this slide type" ## Mentimeter customer reviews Showing reviews 1-25 of 101 (page 1). ### Incredible transformation of presentations - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Hannah C. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Mental Health Care - Company size: Self-Employed - Product usage: Used other for more than 2 years - Reviewed: November 2020 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by us to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. This app is great for my projects that I use for my clients! #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros The fact that it can tranform a boring, long and tiring presentation, into one that is interactive, fun and cheerful makes it a great app. #### Cons I did not like the fact that, at times the app takes a lot of time to show the poll results to viewers. --- ### Practically Non-Existent Customer Support - Overall rating: 4/5 - Reviewer: Justine C. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Human Resources - Company size: 2-10 employees - Product usage: Used other for less than 6 months - Reviewed: April 2020 - Review source details: This review was submitted organically. No incentive was offered My experience with the customer support is woeful. My first few interactions were with a bot, which could not resolve my problem. I then interacted with a human (?) who similarly has yet to resolve my issue. I would state the issue, 24 - 48 hours later I would get a response which did not address it. I would immediately respond and 24 - 48 hours later a different person/bot would respond. It's been a week now and I still don't have resolution. Their hours seem to be a Euro schedule with no weekend support. I have requested a refund and have received no response at all. The whole experience has been disappointing. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 3/5 - Value for money: 2/5 - Customer support: 1/5 - Functionality: 4/5 #### Pros Has numerous features to add interactivity. Functionality is easy to grasp. #### Cons Uploading a presentation proved difficult, despite it meeting the designated parameters. All of the options such as quizzes, polling, etc were greyed out and couldn't be accessed. The basic option is really basic. I upgraded to get enhanced functionality and instead got nothing. #### Reasons for choosing Mentimeter I wanted to enhance my presentation with interactive real-time quizzes. --- ### Good tool for voting - Overall rating: 3/5 - Reviewer: Verified Reviewer - Verified reviewer: Yes - Product usage: Used other for less than 12 months - Reviewed: January 2018 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by us to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 4/5 - Value for money: 4/5 - Customer support: 3/5 - Functionality: 4/5 #### Pros Mentimeter is a simple and quick way to get real-time votes from a group of people. Whenever I do polling I use it. It has a free version so that is a plus. The free plan comes with unlimited questions and respondents. It is very intuitive and interactive when making presentations that requires the audience input. --- ### Really good tool but could be more stylish - Overall rating: 4/5 - Reviewer: Ben F. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Wholesale - Company size: 1001-5000 employees - Product usage: Used monthly for less than 6 months - Reviewed: September 2020 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by us to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. I have used Mentimeter to deliver richer learning experiences in our business. It is easy to use and doesn't tend to disrupt the flow of the session (unless the wifi is playing up!). It's also great for anonymity and data analytics. As a result, it's also great for focus group and feedback sessions as people feel more comfortable giving feedback when it's anonymous. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Functionality: 4/5 #### Pros Mentimeter is a new tool in our business so most people haven't experienced using it before. The interactive features are great and create a much more engaging experience. It's also extremely easy to use and feels similar to powerpoint when creating your slides so it has a familiar feel to it. #### Cons My only criticism is that the styling (i.e. look and feel) is a bit basic. It would make the experience much better if it could be styled differently. This is a relatively minor point though. #### Reasons for choosing Mentimeter Mentimeter had the functionality that was more aligned to what we needed. --- ### Loved it . - Overall rating: 4/5 - Reviewer: Ailish I. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Education Management - Company size: 2-10 employees - Product usage: Used monthly for less than 2 years - Reviewed: July 2022 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by us to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. I loved it the first time I used it. Customer I was presenting to loved it. Audience loved it. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 4/5 - Value for money: 3/5 - Functionality: 4/5 #### Pros I really like the interactivity. I like the designs and the reporting options. #### Cons The price made me go to another provider. If not using it very regularly it's expensive. If using it daily it's not. I however don't use it all the time so found signing up for the advanced features was too expensive for me. --- ### One of my favourite tools - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Paula I. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Management Consulting - Product usage: Used unspecified for unspecified - Reviewed: April 2015 - Review source details: This review was submitted organically. No incentive was offered I use Mentimeter probably every week. We have to do a lot of our meetings remotely through telco or Lync, and with Mentimeter I can make sure that all participants are equally involved in the process. My favorite set-up is to do the "single choice" series with a segmentation of the results at the end. There is often a very appealing aha-effect from seeing th results diplayed like this in real-time. I don't know of any other tool that could let you do this. What I love is especially is the fact that I can make Mentimeter look almost exactly like our own PPT-template. I have been asked several times if this is an internal tool :) Mentimeter is at it's most valuable when it spurs a discussion around the results. This can be incredible sometimes, since the audience has created the results together, they feel that what they are seeing is truly relevant and they often do their uttermost to draw the right conclusions from the data. --- ### Most innovative tool in the market - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Alexander S. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Education Management - Product usage: Used unspecified for unspecified - Reviewed: April 2015 - Review source details: This review was submitted organically. No incentive was offered Mentimeter is offering unique opportunities of interactivity with an audience. Especially the immediate participation in a survey by QR-Codes without the need of installing any application is a great help to implement a survey. The results will appear immediately on the screen in an attractive layout. With the question type „Open Ended“ it is easy to start a brainstorming and in combination with the layout option „Word Cloud“ you get a fantastic overview. Concluding Mentimeter is an innovative tool for presentations in business meetings, school classes and lectures at university. #### Pros a lot - especially: interactivity, responsiveness, general performance, reliability, intuitive handling #### Cons None - it's worth doing the upgrade --- ### Simple yet great presentation software - Overall rating: 4/5 - Reviewer: Bojan M. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Higher Education - Company size: 11-50 employees - Product usage: Used weekly for free trial - Reviewed: October 2019 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by us to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. Mentimeter is a great tool that I use in almost all my classes. In a few minutes, you can collect students' opinions or create any kind of presentation. It is definitely a tool that I would recommend using #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Functionality: 4/5 #### Pros Mentimeter is super easy to use presentation software. I have used only free version, which is limited to 12 presentations but it was enough for what I have needed. There are many question types to choose from but I used (and liked) the most "word cloud". I am using word cloud almost regularly in my classroom as I would like to know students opinion about certain topic. #### Cons In my opinion pro plan is a little bit expensive and basic plan do not offer that much to switch from free to basic. --- ### Great features but be careful of making a subscription as they are manipulative! - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Ramzi B. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Marketing and Advertising - Company size: 2-10 employees - Product usage: Used other for less than 6 months - Reviewed: December 2019 - Review source details: This review was submitted organically. No incentive was offered #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 1/5 - Customer support: 1/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros Great way to engage with audiences in events #### Cons When checking out, the price was shown in months and then all of a sudden it changed to annual before payment. I then paid for it annually not noticing that. I feel that was manipulative and unfair especially considering I only needed the product for 1 event. They also promise 14-day refunds in big writing and then apparently, since I used it once I am not eligible, All I was asking was to refund the 11 months I wasn't using it haha. Anyway great product but very disappointed in the end --- ### WORD CLOUDS - my favourite thing! - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Reshma A. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Product usage: Used monthly for less than 12 months - Reviewed: March 2018 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by us to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. Engagement of staff at all levels - and that is so very important. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 4/5 - Customer support: 4/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros It is so easy to set up and customize various polls in different formats, to set up a specific brand and mode of presentation, and I ABSOLUTELY LOVE that you can embed a menti directly into a Powerpoint slide so that you can directly run a presentation without breaking the flow. #### Cons Can't really think of anything significant -but perhaps I would say - lets see how else we can embed into other ways - Prezi for example? Or a live post on Workplace? --- ### An easy to use engagement tool - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Engela V. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Education Management - Company size: 1001-5000 employees - Product usage: Used monthly for less than 6 months - Reviewed: May 2025 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by us to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. We use Mentimeter as support in presentations and even in class. An easy to use tool to engage students and audience members. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros Very easy to use and supports engagement of audience. #### Cons Nothing, I think it is great. It is one of the easiest engagement tools around. --- ### Make it with mentimeter - Overall rating: 4/5 - Reviewer: Samuel N. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Computer Software - Company size: 11-50 employees - Product usage: Used daily for more than 2 years - Reviewed: July 2023 - Review source details: This review was submitted organically. No incentive was offered #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 4/5 - Value for money: 4/5 - Customer support: 4/5 - Functionality: 4/5 #### Pros It's faster to use and Convenient not like others #### Cons Sometimes lacks customization and intergrt --- ### Mentimeter: The Best Poll Application for Classes - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Samantha Louise C. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: E-Learning - Company size: 10000+ employees - Product usage: Used daily for more than 2 years - Reviewed: July 2022 - Review source details: This review was submitted organically. No incentive was offered I really like using Mentimeter during online classes. It made my Q&A sessions much easier and heightened my students' engagement. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 4/5 - Customer support: 4/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros What I really like about Mentimeter is being able to receive real-time answers and insights from the students. #### Cons What I least like about the software is not being able to save students' comments during live sessions. --- ### Mentimeter - A great tool to collaborate with your audience! - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Verified Reviewer - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Information Services - Company size: 51-200 employees - Product usage: Used weekly for less than 2 years - Reviewed: July 2021 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by us to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. Overall I think Mentimeter is a fun engaging tool and can be relied upon to engage with your audience. If you are looking to get a real-time feedback from your audience and the result to be shared with them instantly, then Mentimeter is the tool to use. Internally, it's a great way to gather feedback from employees, while staying anonymous. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 4/5 - Customer support: 4/5 - Functionality: 3/5 #### Pros Mentimeter provides an easy way to engage with your audience in minutes. The polls can be customized in minutes and they are both desktop and mobile friendly. #### Cons What we like the least is the number of customizations. Mentimeter needs to allow more customizations, especially on the theming side and the slide templates. Often times audience also complaints about being unable to vote or reach the slides, so I hope this is improved soon. --- ### Mentimeter works well overall without too much mental taxing - Overall rating: 4/5 - Reviewer: Peter R. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Investment Management - Company size: 2-10 employees - Product usage: Used weekly for less than 2 years - Reviewed: June 2023 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by us to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 3/5 - Functionality: 4/5 #### Pros East to learn, easy to use, quick to get started, variety of survey/poll types. #### Cons I sometimes need to combine a couple of different types of survey questions into a single question. Not easily done. --- ### Mentimeter makes presentations engagning - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Yvonne S. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: E-Learning - Company size: 501-1000 employees - Product usage: Used other for less than 2 years - Reviewed: September 2019 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by us to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. Love Mentimeter! It's a great way to get your audience to participate and even guide your presentation where it needs to go based on their needs. I get the best results when I ask the audience what they want to learn and since it can be annoymous I get loads of participation and engagement. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros I LOVE that you can integrate this into MS Powerpoint because I have seen so many presentations go from boring to engaging with Mentimeter. It helps that you can introduce a new topic and pull audiences back in with the use of this. Plus, you don't need any additional hardware since is web based. #### Cons If you have a whole lot of text or long questions and answer choices, it does affect the clean look of it. So if you write a whole lot or like to ask detailed questions, this may not look as nice. --- ### Wonderful LIVE results - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Natasha W. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Events Services - Company size: Self-Employed - Product usage: Used monthly for more than 2 years - Reviewed: April 2022 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by us to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. I love Mentimeter because it's a great way to engage my audience and ensure that they feel included in my workshops. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros I use mentimeter in almost every workshop that I do. With mentimeter, I am able to solicit the audience response and show it in a word cloud LIVE during the presentation. My results and slide don't disappear over time, and I can always duplicate or view a prior slide. I love the options to hide results, to change the number of entries, and to stop and start the polling. Mentimeter also consistently add new features to their platforms, and I'm always happy to try them. Plus, you can use a lot of the features for free. #### Cons Under the free account, you cannot create a mentimeter slide with a feature too far in advanced; you either get 2 days or 7 days for the presentation mode/slide feature to stay active because the voting code for the presentation becomes inactive after that time period. --- ### Great variety of poll questions - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Matilde c. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Human Resources - Company size: 11-50 employees - Product usage: Used weekly for more than 2 years - Reviewed: June 2023 - Review source details: This review was submitted organically.

It makes it easy for presenters to involve their audience in their presentation. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 4/5 - Functionality: 4/5 #### Pros I like how Mentimeter can make it easy for viewers of your presentation to become participants. No need to download anything, as they can just go to the website and fill in the provided code. #### Cons People do need to have a smart device or laptop, connected to internet, to participate in presentations. And having the audience grab a device, can also cause them to become distracted. --- ### Great way to get LIVE response/poll - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Corinna N. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Health, Wellness and Fitness - Company size: 10000+ employees - Product usage: Used monthly for more than 2 years - Reviewed: November 2023 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by us to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros I love the interactive nature of this app especially during presentation and to get audience engagement and responses to guide presentations. #### Cons Sometimes, this may take away the natural discussion that may happen with in-person presentations. --- ### Easy to Implement Assessment Tool - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Andrea F. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Education Management - Company size: 2-10 employees - Product usage: Used monthly for less than 12 months - Reviewed: July 2023 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by us to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros Our nonprofit education team was able to easily set-up and integrate Mentimeter into our virtual workshops to gather feedback and engage our community. #### Cons I'd like to be able to download a report that highlights the answers from different polls (ie the surveys from three different dates or sites) without having to re-use the same survey. --- ### Interactive Presentation - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Daniel E. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: E-Learning - Company size: 2-10 employees - Product usage: Used other for less than 2 years - Reviewed: December 2019 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by us to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. We need mentimeters to quickly and collectively collect keywords, which are then visualized in a word cloud, for example. This is a good basis for discussion as the meeting continues. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Functionality: 3/5 #### Pros Mentimeter is a very simple and yet very comprehensive software to present and discuss interactively with participants. The tool also offers the possibility to visualize data. #### Cons Mentimeter is strongly limited in the free version, which does not allow many uses. Therefore we like to rely on alternatives. However, a quick and uncomplicated survey can still be done well. #### Reasons for switching to Mentimeter Mentimeter is more elegant. --- ### Mentimeter - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Faten D. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: E-Learning - Company size: 201-500 employees - Product usage: Used weekly for more than 2 years - Reviewed: November 2022 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by us to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros Many questions typesMany design ideasMany features and controls #### Cons No way to align slide title to the right for right to left languages Showing the message " changing alignment is not available for this slide type" --- ### Presentation and interaction - Overall rating: 4/5 - Reviewer: Filippo A. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Education Management - Company size: 1001-5000 employees - Product usage: Used weekly for less than 6 months - Reviewed: May 2023 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by us to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Customer support: 4/5 - Functionality: 4/5 #### Pros Perfect and simple tool to make presentations and interact with The audience by posing questions, charts, and more. #### Cons Sometimes presentation is not always updated on the mobiles/computers and a refresh is needed. --- ### Mentimeter through online teaching - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Verified Reviewer - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: E-Learning - Company size: 11-50 employees - Product usage: Used weekly for less than 12 months - Reviewed: May 2021 - Review source details: This review was submitted organically.
