Minga App is the best option for virtual approach

Compared to other software like Minga, this is the best of all, it is easy to use and program, it is easy to connect and if by any chance there is an error the customer service solves everything in record time. It is incredible how we have evolved in our meetings, conventions, conferences and events thanks to the excellent work that Minga App provides us.

Pros:

It is very possible to integrate many options to be able to manage all our users in a fast and effective way, which is necessary to have an approach with each one and manage the necessary information of our CLE program. Conferences through Minga are amazing and easy to manipulate.

Cons:

We have no bad opinion for Minga App, everything is intuitive and necessary for the daily use of such software. Personally it has been the best find in our department this year.

Thank you so much for your review Hannah. We are extremely happy that Minga is working well for your department and we feel lucky to have you as a customer! - Jovana from Minga

Pros:

What I like most about this software is that it boosts engagement amongst students by encouraging them to take surveys/polls and participate in challenges for incentives! For challenges and contests, you can group students and staff into teams and build excitement through the leaderboard! Students are able to stay up-to-date on everything that is going on with notifications, messages and announcements. Students can also have their ID’s saved into the platform as Digital Student IDs for easy access; also saving schools time and money. I would highly recommend schools to take advantage of Minga, as it is an amazing software for building school spirit!

Cons:

There is nothing that I like least about Minga.

Vendor Response

WOW! Thank you so much for this thoughtful and detailed review! Minga is so grateful to have a client like you, Shari, and we are above and beyond happy to hear that Minga is working so delightfully for your school. Nothing makes us more excited than hearing that the use of our polls, challenges, leaderboard, and more are helping build your student engagement to the highest levels ever! Thank you so much for everything! - Jovana at Minga

Pros:

I could see the good intentions behind the designers, and the administrators who put Minga into effect at our school.

Cons:

Giving students the ability to post on a school-wide stream is dangerous.

Vendor Response

Hey Jeff, thank you for taking the time to share your thoughts about Minga. We are sorry to hear that your schools intentions with Minga did not quite come to fruition, launching Minga can be a delicate process at certain schools and needs to have some serious goals and tangible efforts behind the launch, above all we are sorry we didn't provide you with the tools you needed to effectively launch. We agree that sometimes students should not have full freedom to post on the main school feed which is why we offer role based restrictions (teachers/staff, SL, students). Minga recommends that posting is limited to teachers during the first few weeks of implementation. For help please check out this link:https://minga.helpdocs.com/managecontent/managing-posting-permissions. We would love to talk to you and your school about how we can rewind the clock. Please contact us at support@minga.io so we can create the community experience that minga was meant to have. - Jovana from Minga

Minga as Community Builder in Elementary School

Overall I am pleased with the response from families - they seem to enjoy the social media format of the classroom updates. I love that we have been able to open up our classrooms to each other, and the admin have commented about how nice it is to see more of the amazing things happening around the building. I am SO impressed with the help and response from [SENSITIVE CONTENT] and her team. When I have a question (often) she gets back to me right away. When issues arise they are addressed before the day is out. Best of all, they always listen to our ideas or suggestions for ways to make Minga better and in some cases our suggestions have been implemented.

Ratings Breakdown

Ease of use

Value for money

Functionality

Pros:

The software is easy to use, and easy to implement across a wide range of abilities. Managing users is straightforward and the dashboard tools for doing so are very helpful. Teachers find it very easy to use and engagement across the school on what kids are doing has skyrocketed.

Cons:

We are using it slightly differently than most - no students yet, just for school to home communication. So the cons would be that much of the existing knowledge base is for grades 6-12 with many of the features geared toward an interactive social media format. Also it does not (yet!) sync with google calendar or with our SIS. But we are hopeful this is coming soon.

Reasons for choosing Minga

I was not responsible for the final choice.

Vendor Response

Wow, thank you so much for your review Amy, this was super helpful and Minga appreciates you and your time greatly! We love hearing about all the different ways the Minga app is used and personalized! At the end of the day, our goal is to help get students involved so to hear that "engagement across the school has skyrocketed" is some of the best feedback we've ever received. We are also pleased to hear that our customer service and feature implementation is going above and beyond for you, and we can assure you that calendar sync is on our Minga RoadMap for the future. Thanks again! - Jovana from Minga.

Valerie, We are so grateful you took the time to give us such a wonderful review and love that you're getting so much use out of all of our features. I have good news, your one Con is that you wished there was a Direct Messaging function - you're in luck! Direct Messaging can be toggled On & Off by administrators of each Minga, as ASB Director you most likely can do this yourself. Here is a URL to our support page that walks you through how to do it: https://minga.helpdocs.com/managecontent/setting-up-direct-messaging If you have any further questions please don't hesitate to reach out to us at support@minga.io Hope this helps and thanks for the love!Pete from Minga

Minga brings the school community together!

Teachers can easily create clubs, homeroom groups, etc. Students feel more connected and excited to be a part of our school because it offers this chance to be a part of something larger. Minga does a good job of emphasizing and enabling the fun and social side of school and extends it to the home learning environment.
