The software is relatively user friendly. Due to the nature of our industry, we do prefer to use the built in clickers, but having the option for smart devices is also a great benefit.

Instead of buying clickers, turning point allows you to make your phone into a clicker. It is very straight forward and cost efficient.

NO option to provide students real-time test results immediately after completing an exam. No option to allow re-takes if assignment is incomplete or submitted in error by the student.

The only downside is that I have to type in the session ID every class, but that is only because my teacher changes it each class.

The integration with powerpoint is convenient. When it works, it works well.

It easily integrates with PowerPoint presentation. Our institution uses this platform for Pre and Post tests for instruction lectures.

The integration with the Powerpoint toolbar is great.

As I said, it works quite well about 60% of the time. When it works, it's stellar.

This product allows for excellent group communication, whether in a classroom or at a meeting, etc. Everyone can post votes or answer a question by using the app from their phones.

Makes learning fun, generates competition. Great reporting features, which not only help participants, but assist the Training Department to identify areas of focus.

It is an easy way to engage and measure the knowledge of students in a class and it also has a favourable customer service.

Test generator, testing, great access to information,Interactive powerpoints with results.

Using TP for webinars requires the use of a second system to accommodate audio and video  This is problematic for less technical participants.

NO option that shows date/time when an assignment is submitted. Not being able to delete incomplete assignments from the guest accounts.

TurningPoint offers great software that can improve the learning and lecture happening in a classroom.

Can be useful in gaining audience participation, but in my experience, has been glitchy.

You cant simply use the software, you have to register for a Turning Account which is a nightmare when you forget the password and 500 people are waiting for you to sort the problem out.

The ability to crop out certain parts of a recording easily within the browser and the ability to manually edit captions for clarity are also very helpful.

I could have used Zoom with polling for a lot less $$$$ and a lot less trouble.

There can sometimes be a lag between a PowerPoint update and a TurningPoint update which can cause functionality issues.

No compatibility with Apple Keynote. Physical Clickers are small and easily lost.

Very easy to use but severely limited when assigning exams to large groups with extended due dates.

Maybe they could change the way they charge to blocks of seats, instead of a per seat cost that you have to pay every year. I have considered moving to a software that does not require an annual fee.

It is super easy to use. One thing that is great is once you are set to a channel on your remote for that class you won’t need to change it as long as the receiver’s channel doesn’t get changed.

I don't like that we have to pay an annual subscription fee based on our number of seats.

It is a nice way to engage a class and measure their knowledge.

I like the accessibility of creating post test and evaluation for our trainings. It is easy to manage the responses and to export them into excel.

Both from a value perspective and customer service. I'd recommend them to anyone.

As far as I am aware, it is the only clicker company that charges an annual fee for people who purchase clickers. Without the software the clickers do not work so the annual fee is a essential.

Turning Point is a great solution for our Honors program.

Clunky and Unreliable, But GREAT when it works.

There are some limitations to the ballot process and I have had some programming error due to getting our school information into the software.

I enjoy using Voting 4 Schools because it makes my job easier. Quick email responses to questions and friendly knowledgeable people.

Especially in today's world (with the pandemic), it's nice to have a trusted platform that will allow me to conduct elections, surveys, etc. with confidence.

The security is also a great feature. I have used how it collects email/ip addresses to determine that students were not being honest in the voting process.

Also, having to resize pictures (for uploading pictures) can be frustrating, but I'm that may just be on the kids who submit overly large photo sizes.

The only downfall has been cost; many schools in my area run elections through Google Forms because they can do that for free.

The two times I needed tech support, they were there for me and did a great job in fixing the situation.

There are no features that I feel are missing or could be improved.

I wish we had a way to choose two and have them be a pair. This was a problem with our planning more than the problem with the software.

I'm not sure that's a software problem, I always feel uncertain when I have to upload the csv file (are those the correct letter?).

Can't say enough about how great this program is for school voting. I am so happy that I decided to try technology to make our elections easier and more secure.

Quick, easy setup, easy for voters to vote, secure tracking of voters, multiple ways to list candidates.

I have our district IT department load all of the students at the beginning of the year by grade and we good to go for everything we do.

It is easy to use and the kids love it. It also does all the data side for you.

We have continued to squeeze out the money in our budget for Voting4Schools because of the security and overall ease of use.

My only dislike is the way we port in passwords. Ours have an @ symbol and sometimes start with a zero.

This program has saved me countless hours of counting ballots and printing ballots. I use this software quite frequently for all of the voting that we doing in our school building.

I have used voting4schools for 9 years now, and I've always been impressed by their customer service, their regular updates and innovations, and most of all, their dependability.

It is amazing and is very easy to use. I have been telling all of my friends who work at other schools about how life changing it can be for their activities.

It has been such a great product, definitely a worthwhile expense.

This has been such a time-saver and a help in running elections at our school from student council to Homecoming Court.

I love to use this program for school elections. It it very easy to generate detailed reports and very user friendly.

The price is very affordable, and when I have needed customer support, I've had excellent response. It is one of the few things in teacher's world that works as advertised.

At time difficult for teens to log in. Multiple schools with similar names so students get frustrated during log in.

This software is user friendly for the students when they log-in to vote which is the most important feature to me as an advisor. The next most important thing is the ease of set-up.

The benefits of Voting 4 Schools have been tremendous. I would highly recommend this product to any school.

The ease of use and intuitiveness of the software sets it apart.

I like the time savings I have gained compared to when I would hold class elections and count votes by hand. This saves me time and money in the long run.
