ThingLink is easy to use for both the student and teacher!
I like that this makes assignments more engaging. I also like that there is a 3-D feature in the software. Students can record their voices on an image, which they like instead of showing their face in a video!
I have not found a way to integrate ThingLink with my LMS (Canvas), but I'm pretty sure that it is in the works!

I first heard about ThingLink from one of my institute's experts in online teaching. Within hours, I'd learned to use all of the basic features, and had embedded an interactive photo into a Canvas page. My students are ESL learners who are getting BAs in art & design, so interacting with photos is a really helpful way to get them thinking about composition and symbolism in art.
I really have no complaints. At first I was a little confused about the value of using one of your free templates vs. uploading my own photo, but I figured it out with the help of a tutorial video.
