Slido Reviews

I just use the free version, but it gave me all the tools I needed to engage the audience in a set of briefings I give frequently. With the free version you are limited to only 3 polls, but that is enough for my use. I have looked at upgrading, and the price is reasonable if you wish to e corporate more polls and other paid features into your briefing

There is a beta for powerpoint integration, but I couldn't get it to work. But by simply copying the QR code they provided into my presentation, the audience didn't miss out on anything integrated into the presentation

Hi Mark. Thank you for your positive review. It's great to hear that Slido helps you with audience engagement and intraction. I'm sorry to hear that you had troubles with our PowerPoint integration. I'd be happy to investigate this further and see what might've happened. As the integration is only in Beta, we're constantly looking for ways how to improve it. If you have a spare moment, could you please reach out to me at experience@slido.com so we can have a look? Thank you. Adam

Very easy to set up. Great features even for the free versions. Very easy to share Very user friendly interface on the phone or on the desktop browser

I have been using mostly the free version which is ideal for my needs.The limited featured are a bit frustrating but hey...it is a free version. I The limited time for each survey could be expanded to 2 weeks.

Slido's best features are the polls and online Q&A. It is really easy to integrate with PPT. Slido's polls are so simple to use that I use them to hold polls in my team even when there isn't a meeting. The audience can vote for questions to appear on the list, reducing duplicate questions.

The pricing plan could be improved. Schedules are limited time only. The limited 3 quiz is frustrating.

It's extremely useful integrating into PowerPoint. It makes trainings fun and interactive, while also testing people's retention of what you've presented.

On occasion, we'll run into issues where it just doesn't work. No idea what causes this, but we've had a few trainings where we've had to skip using Slido altogether.

What I like the most about Slido is how I can engage with my audience by easily creating live polls and quizzes directly on a PowerPoint presentation and getting instant feedback... all this on real-time! Slido is both fun, pedagogic, easy to use and has incredible features I appreciate a lot. I firstly found Slido while watching a presentation of a colleague and since then I've been using it for many quizzes and Q&As, as it is very easy to access by the participants.

If I had to point any less good characteristic, I would say that what I like the least about this software is the not so user-friendly layout. I would like to see more of a modern design and I think there is room for improvement there. Other than that, I had not encounter any issues or concerns whatsoever. I'm also aware that the support team is very friendly and responsive, which is great!

- Ease of use- Smooth operation- Multiple options to fit in the requirements

None as of now, just keep dong the good work. All the best!

Quiz session,the student has high'motivation to learn and answer all about session part in English.

The student can give question directly ,and the other side when the administrator present the student can give the session question by online from the slide using power point.

It is so easy to built a questionnaire with Slido, in my case a team quiz. The way it works is quite straight forward.

Nothing really but some features can be enhanced? Maybe some more colors would be great ? Background music ?

Live onsite responses and use during general session was seamless and easy to use for me and my client who was the moderator.

I did have to ask customer service how to do things - couldn't find info on the help center very easily. HOWEVER, your customer service is responsive and sent me all the tutorials I needed.

The simplicity! The tool helps me engage my my audience with word cloud and Q&A

It's not integrated with zoom or ON24, can't leverage it with my webinars. Mostly in-person events.

I was most impressed with the fact that I didn't need to learn much about the mechanics of the Slido features. In most situations, I want to, but in a jam - having to throw together an interactive quiz show for 20 tables of 6 - it was a great relief that everything was at my fingertips and simply worked.

I expect that at some point I'll try to do just the thing that Slido can't handle, but so the Slido team is leaps and bounds ahead of me in thinking up new ways to engage groups in learning, competition and fun. The only stumbling block I hit was thinking that I would be limited to 3 quiz questions in the Free version because that version limits the number of polls per event to three. When I realized I had confused the two, angel choirs sang (we were down to 90 minutes before departure for the event venue).

Hi Rick, Thank you so much for taking out your time to leave us a review. They help us improve and learn how to even better serve our users, so they truly are much appreciated! Best, Filipa

I like how simple Slido is to use (one URL + one hashtag, or scan a QR code > instantly usable on any browser). I also like how many options it has (quite a few but not overwhelming) and the way it can help instantly visualise data. It can be a simple tool to receive questions but can also facilitate instant data analysis.

I think Slido gets it just right when it comes to usability. I would like to see some updates on the look and feel, and I think one or two more visualisation options would be welcome.

I like the technology integration and the ability to keep meeting attendees involved honest by allowing them to remain anonymous.

I wish that common questions or themes could be grouped together instead of being displayed individually.

Thank you for your response, we're glad you're finding Slido helpful during your meetings. Have you tried using Labels feature to group questions that have a common theme? It might not fit your use-case entirely but could be useful to an extent. This article might be help you - https://community.sli.do/audience-q-a-42/label-audience-questions-517 Additionally, there is a new feature that informs participants if they're typing a question that is similar to any that already exists. It's useful to avoid duplicate questions and you can turn it on in settings 'Slido Labs' tab. I hope these two features can improve the challenges you've faced in the past. If you need any more help or have any questions, please don't hesitate to reach out to us at support@slido.com

It works, every time, just as it should. With inexpensive software, especially one that offers considerable function for free, I'm always impressed by the reliability. Support is also top notch, though you won't need it.

I honestly have no gripes with this software. It works perfectly for our needs, live Q&As.

Hello Chris. Thank you for sharing your experience with Slido and how it helps your church during the pandemic. We appreciate your support. Adam

Easy to use, integration in powerpoint slides, so it makes me much more comfortable during my speeches

creating a follow-up materials from powerpoint - I have to do all printscreens manually, I would prefer a option to generate ppt or pdf automatically after the event on one click.

Slido has been so easy to apply in group sessions. I apply a lot of software tools that are 'participant-facing' and Slido works best so far in my opinion. The present-button creates a lot of value. Various types of questions work well too. Slido just seem to understand what we need.

When I'm presenting, I'd love to see how many have logged in in real-time in the present-view. I might have missed that this is possible, but I didn't find it right away.

* Powerpoint integration * Seemless access with phone * Slick functionality and presentation I use it for all my financial training engagements. And now my wife does the same as a Professor of Public Health.

Not much. A small thing perhaps. If I use the Powerpoint integration and I must exit presentation mode to refer to another slide, when I re-enter presentation mode, it brings me automatically to the top of the presentation, not the slide selected. I think I've found a workaround.

Hi Blaise, Thank you so much for the positive review. It's great to hear how Slido helped you with engagement during your trainings (and your wife too :).

The range of options available to create engagement opportunities with attendees, particularly, the quiz and the live poll functions allow you to judge the mood in the room without needing to pause the main presentation.

The clunkiness in moderating and managing user questions in the Question and answer area. Senior management also don't like the ability for users to submit anonymous questions

This software is easy to download & very user friendly! You can enter your name, ask questions, give answers, 'like' other participants answers etc. Very easy to use and have engagement throughout your meetings.

I'm not sure if there is anything to improve... perhaps the ability to withdraw an answer or question...?

Hi Tatiana, Many thanks for this positive review, we're really happy to hear that you are content with Slido and its ease of use. In regards to your suggestion - you can actually edit or withdraw a question within 5 minutes after sending unless your question has already been approved and highlighted in Present mode. Your support is much appreciated. Thanks, Filipa.

Easy to use. Many live pool question templates. Results easy for read.

Low versatility. Miss features like personalized agenda.

Hi Vinicus, Many thanks for this review, we're really happy to hear that you are content with Slido and the ease of use. Sorry to hear we didn't meet all your expectations and hopefully we can improve over time, as we add new features continually. Your support is much appreciated. Thanks, Filipa.

Very quick download and set-up Seamless integration with PowerPoint Customisation of user passwords Free if only using three polls Multiple options for polls and results

Review of polls only allows one question at a time

Hi Chris. Thanks for your review, it's great to hear that you enjoy using Slido along with our PowerPoint integration that we're still constantly working on improving. Regarding your comment - it is true that we allow only one poll at a time with our Basic plan. With all our paid plans, you can also create a "Survey" which allows you to run multiple polls at once. If you have any further questions, please feel free to let me know at experience@slido.com. Many thanks for your support. Adam.

1. Seamlessly working on MS PowerPoint. 2. Easy and quick to set any interactions. 3. Going live is a matter of opening the slide - no activation from web version needed. 4. Participation through QR code is straightforward and hassle-free. 5. Students rare particularly more engaged in class (online) - especially with the Quiz interaction.

All interactions should have nickname option, not just Quiz. Not all participants embrace anonymity.

Hello Ezzati. Thank you for this review and for sharing how Slido helps you during the difficult times of remote teaching. We're really glad to hear that. Adam

I like most of the features of Slido. It is extremely accessible. The word cloud makes audience have a voice. Interface between The presentation mode and entry. Registration easy.

Less options to moderate and continue discussions

The free version gives you the ability to try out the app and evaluate whether it is useful. Used it for my online training where quizzes and questions given to participants. It helps participants to answer anonymously and that really help make the training session lively.

The app does not have support for MSPowerPoints on Mac or for Keynote.

Hi Mohammad, Thank you for leaving us a review! We're happy that Slido worked for your online trainings, and hope that we can be of use in the future as well. Thank for your feedback about our future integrations- we're always developing new features and integrations so we'll keep your request in mind when planning ahead! Best, Filipa

The software is very easy to use and integrates well with Google Slides and MS PowerPoint (for Windows users).

It lacks integration in MS PowerPoint for Mac users. I also hope it can have features that enable matching type, reordering, and drag and drop that can be used for interactive lectures.
