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. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 4/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 4/5 #### 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.

Overall, Minga is great for increasing student involvement and communication! #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### 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 Replied November 2021 --- ### Minga Review - Overall rating: 3/5 - Reviewer: Jeff S. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Education Management - Company size: 1001-5000 employees - Product usage: Used weekly for less than 2 years - Reviewed: November 2021 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by the software vendor to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. It just didn't hit with the students as being an authentic way to engage with the school. They posted inappropriate content and the intent was lost within two weeks, #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 3/5 - Value for money: 1/5 - Customer support: 2/5 - Functionality: 2/5 #### 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 Replied November 2021 --- ### Minga as Community Builder in Elementary School - Overall rating: 4/5 - Reviewer: Amy M. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Education Management - Company size: 51-200 employees - Product usage: Used daily for less than 6 months - Reviewed: November 2021 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by the software vendor to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. 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: 5/5 - Value for money: 3/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 3/5 #### 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.

It's so great to hear from you, and we are super grateful for the amazing review! We love the Harry Potter House comparison, it's a perfect way to introduce students to Minga!

When creating an event in a club it only shows up in the school calendar for members of that club, as to keep things organized for the students. If you would like to invite nonmembers to a club event, you can create a general event and mark it as "Hosted" by the club of your choice. If you come across more issues please feel free to email us your questions at support@minga.io. We are happy to let you know that we are coming out with an updated launch this upcoming week that should make creating events in clubs even easier, but for good measure here is a link that should clear things up: https://minga.helpdocs.com/managecontent/adding-an-event.
