Kahoot! Reviews

Pros

It is a very well built software, which allows you to easily create content for any level of learning and present it in an easy and didactic way, which can be understood by any user, without the need for prior knowledge. In addition, the software allows you to create content from the beginning, making the learning curve short.

Cons

Integration with other products can be a bit tricky, but it's a minor detail that can be quickly and easily overcome. In addition, the software requires a good internet quality for proper operation.

Pros

It gives students a chance to participate in the classroom regardless of whether they are introverts or extroverts. At the end, students love using kahoot, particularly for the gaming aspect from the lesson plan

Cons

One thing that I do not particularly like is the part that student do not use their real names while playing kahoot. As a result, it makes it difficult to track that child's progress.

Pros

The ease of generating any type of questionnaire

Cons

sometimes the delay in seeing the interaction of the participants reflected.

Pros

I still love Kahoot despite missing features that would make me love it more. Kahoot is so easy to use and a great way to build engagement. There are so many games to choose from and if somethings not quite right, games can be very easily edited or even created. Games are so fun to play and even fun to host. Kahoot makes gamification easy for fun, interactive learning for all ages.

Cons

What kahoot is missing, which keeps me from loving it even more, is a way to track performance via google classroom or other educational management systems. Kahoot can be launched with google classroom, but then the data from the games isn't sent back to google classroom. So classroom talks to Kahoot, but for whatever reason Kahoot doesn't talk back to google. I reached out to Kahoot many times about this and I get the same answer that this is not a feature they are interested in providing. What a shame.

What also happens often is players use hurtful and offensive and inappropriate nicknames. This is quite common in schools but can also happen in the workplace. As far as I know, there is no way to track this. Kahoot offers a friendly nickname generator to avoid this, but then there is no way to track performance. So essentially Kahoot which could be so powerful in assessment and training, is simply reduced to a really fun game or just basic enreichment. Again...What a shame.

Pros

the most that i like in kahoot that all interactive with all people if coashing

Cons

i like that all people could answer quziz and make competition between them

Pros

Connecting others online is a wonderful through their mobile phones as you do not need to connect through a computer. The way quizzes are made is wonderful. You can subscribe for free up to a certain number of participants.

Cons

Maybe more quizzes needs to be added in relation to how they are (methodologies).

Pros

The best feature i think s the interaction from different places at the same time. Also it's unbelievable that results are finalized real time, it is only a matter of internet speed for each of the participants.

Cons

I hope the developers can add a feature where the host can formulate and customize questions. Aside from that new other games would for sure excite the users more.

Pros

I like the interactive game play for which we use it for. We have a series of 6+ questions to get the group going.

Cons

There isn't really any negative about it. It is an app that does what it says it does.

Pros

It is very effective for getting students to engage during class. It is also very easy to implement and use.

Cons

Sometimes there is a time lag issue, but this is also potentially just because of slow internet. Overall, no major issues.

Pros

Kahoot is easy to navigate and super easy to use.

Cons

I have not found any cons with using Kahoot!

Pros

This software helped me during training and refresher days. You don't really need a tutorial to actually navigate through the app since it's self-explanatory. It's a great value for your money, especially if you're teaching a big group of people.

Cons

There's an issue with the delay for some of my trainees since it requires a strong internet connection.

Pros

As a student, I have really enjoyed using Kahoot in my classes. It's such a fun and interactive way to review and learn new material. The games make the learning process so much more enjoyable and I find myself paying more attention in class because of it. The platform is also really easy to use and I love being able to see how I stack up against my classmates. One of the things I love about Kahoot is the ease of use. It only takes a few minutes to create a quiz or poll and the platform has a variety of question types to choose from, including multiple-choice, true/false, and open-ended responses. it is really good to use for presentations as well to get a poll or valuable input from the audience. Overall, Kahoot has been a great addition to my school experience and I highly recommend it to other students.Overall, I highly recommend Kahoot for any teacher looking to add some excitement to their lessons and make learning more interactive

Cons

While I generally enjoy using Kahoot in class, I find that the games can sometimes be a bit repetitive. It would be nice to have more variety in the types of games available.One issue I've had with Kahoot is that the timer for answering questions can be a bit too short, especially for more complex or open-ended questions. It would be helpful to have the option to adjust the timer length.While I appreciate the ability to compete against my classmates, I do wish there was a way to customize the leaderboard display. It can be a bit intimidating to see your name at the bottom of the list, and it would be nice to have the option to see how you're doing relative to your own personal best or to your study group.One feature that I think would be really helpful is the ability to save and reuse quizzes or polls. Currently, if I want to use a quiz again in the future, I have to recreate it from scratch. It would save a lot of time and effort if there was a way to save and reuse quizzes.

Pros

Kahoot is easy to use and very engaging for both adults and children. Kahoot can be used to measure how much of information presented a group has learned or as a fun brain break. There are even game modes which increase the engagement for kids. Kahoot can be used both with in person and online participants. Last, a Kahoot can be presented as homework which allows the participant to move at their own pace. The reports are very helpful as well. On many plans folders can be made to organize created or copied Kahoots so that they are easily accessible in the future. While the free version does not offer all of the features of Kahoot, if you are on a tight budget and have a small group (under 40), the free version is good enough, especially at the beginning.

Cons

There is really nothing I do not like about Kahoot, other than the monthly cost. I would like the game modes to be free, but don't we all want something free? Adults who have never tried it will like the competitiveness and doing something different other than taking a quiz at the end of a workshop.

Pros

I use Kahoot! for a long time and the application quickly became essential in my classes, mainly because my students find it fantastic and are always waiting to participate in another game. With its use, learning has become much more fluid, simple and efficient. Almost all students learn much more quickly if we use Kahoot !, while greatly reducing bad behavior and inattention in class. Kahoot! it can also be used in e-learning which is an added advantage in these times when we can be teaching from home.

Cons

Compared to other applications, Kahoot! it can have the defect that all students are taking the same quiz with the same questions at the same time, since the questions are asked on the projector screen. However, this fact also allows for greater competitiveness and student involvement.

Pros

While most people associate Kahoot with school, Kahoot is a fun and interactive way to present information, even in a business setting. Kahoot is surprisingly versatile and can be used for research, business training etc. The simplicity of Kahoot is very appealing both for the creator and players. One of the best things is that the player do not require a Kahoot account; all they need is the game pin. Not only this, Kahoot can also collect open ended answers which can be very useful at times, especially when doing market research. The Pro version is great because it comes with templates, quick polls and puzzles. For business use, you can create a presentation with interactive questions sprinkled throughout, which really adds a fun level of interactivity to the presentation.

Cons

Occasionally, there can be issues if the internet connection is poor which is rather annoying as it can cause disconnections. Kahoot can also be somewhat limiting if you want to make more complicated questions because of the strict character limit.

Pros

Kahoot! makes learning something feel like playing a game. Almost everyone can take part – given that they have a device and a stable internet connection, which might be a challenge in settings like large conferences. The UI is simple, friendly and fun. Question types range from simply yes/no questions to more complicated ones, where both questions and answers can be based on images. The latter one is very useful in a mathematical context. All in all, there is almost no scenario of classrom interaction that couldn’t be replicated with Kahoot!

Cons

There used to be one major issue that I had with Kahoot! It was that every player was able choose their own name. Depending on how mature the audience was, there were people who regularly saw this as an opportunity to troll and offend everyone by injecting slurs and insults. Kahoot! has responded to this issue and started to offer a nickname generator which automatically produces friendly names for everyone. I think that’s a great move and it should be the default setting for every game.

Pros

The thing that I love most about this software is that users are able to create polls with different types of answers for free. I believe that it is a great way to enhance the learning process. A lot of my teachers in high school, as well as college, have used Kahoot as a way to keep us students engaged. It is a great asset to use in the method of interactive learning. Apart from using it in school, I have also used it to have fun with friends. I have created many quizzes that pertain to me and my friend group specifically which always leaves us having a good time. This leads me to the next thing that I absolutely love about this website/app: it is entirely customizable. I am able to create a quiz based on any topic I like. I also love that there is a search bar where I am able to look up any topic and find quizzes based on that topic (and these are all quizzes made by other users which I think is fantastic).

Cons

I think the thing that I like least about this software is that it does glitch from time to time. For example, when I am answering a quiz live and I have answered a question correctly and within the allocated time given, the system will tell me that I answered the question incorrectly. However, these glitches don't happen very often which is something I am very thankful for.

Pros

Among the most impressive features that Kahoot has for me, is that it is a very innovative program that allows through the game to improve the skills of acquiring knowledge for students, it is easy to use for the teacher and also for students as players, it can be used in different languages, it allows you to create work groups where you can share content and collaborate with other users who also belong to the platform.
I believe that Kahoot can be easily integrated into any moment of a class, because it allows you to prepare a game to introduce new content, or to consolidate in students content that they have already received, it also allows you to create presentations, it is a program that with intelligence in the moment of planning can be perfectly integrated into the teaching-learning process.

Cons

I consider that Kahoot lacks a section where the teacher can identify or establish the objectives that he wants to achieve when creating an activity in Kahoot. The reports allow in a certain way to evaluate the activity, but it is necessary that with the objectives set by the teacher he also has the option of monitoring to know more effectively if he achieved the proposed objective with the Kahoot.

Pros

The fact this software is free and that it offers 'pro' and 'paid' features that are just not present in other types of quiz generation software. Its all web based so no downloading required, unless you use the app with learners. Incredibily easy to setup your own quiz and equally as useful in duplicating ready made quizzes by other teachers/mentors.

Cons

Sometimes the use of the colour/shapes to distinguish the answers chosen has been reportedly a bit confusing when the learners are trying to chose the answers and compete with each other for the best /fastest score. Its a minor observation but one that has come up a few times.

Pros

Kahoot is, above all else, extremely intuitive for both the users and the administrators. Integration into the learning environment is beyond simple, and requires no special technology, just personal mobile devices and a centralized system. It’s extremely engaging for students of all ages in all classes. It’s wide variety of community made quizzes broaden its appeal to all subjects, from fun trivia to advanced and specific topics, putting it leagues ahead of sites like these with a small community and an even smaller quiz pool. Kahoot is one of, if not the best class engagement tool I have ever used, with very little limitation on number of participants or features.

Cons

In the process of implementing and using Kahoot, I have run into a few minor issues and annoyances. Input lag and screen freezing issues pop up once at least every two kahoots, which is annoying especially for the more competitive students. I also found it a little confusing how to make a kahoot. Playing a Kahoot has a different website than making one, and the website where you make an account is relatively unintuitive unfortunately. But other than that, I’ve found little issue with this amazing tool.

Pros

Accessible in almost every environment. Helpful in a classroom environment or when teaching a large group of younger people. Very useful software to gamify learning and when paired with effective teaching of large content. Great way to receive somewhat reliable data from a young audience in regard to creative themes. UI is colourful and with fun music keeps engagement high in younger audiences.

Cons

Unsuitable for use in a formal business environment. Limited application outside of education or taking "surveys" from younger audiences. When discussing business it is undoubtedly inappropriate. Whilst it is possible to use Kahoot is a way to gauge the engagement of ideas form a younger audience, each idea must be individually entered in the "question bank" which can be time consuming.

Pros

I love how easy this software is to navigate as a teacher and it's even more intuitive for students. You are able to create your own interactive quiz games to fit your lesson plans, or you can search for games already made by other teachers on the same topic. I have taken advantage of that feature several times when I was lesson planning on a time crunch. You are also able to use fun pictures and the software plays fun game-show music that really contributes to a fun learning environment. Another amazing feature Kahoot offers is an option to look through the results of the quiz game when it is over in order to determine which students have mastered certain concepts and which still need more practice. It helps me greatly with the pacing of my lessons.

Cons

The only complaint I have about this software is that students are allowed to chose their own name. I do like that students are given that freedom, but not all students chose the most appropriate names. So, I would love to see an "assigned name" option for classes that may not handle the freedom to chose their own name as well as others.

Pros

What I like the most about Kahoot! is its ease to use and the practical User Interface (UI). As a user, I enjoy the quizzes hosted on this software, because they are both fun and pedagogic.
There are also a lot of features on the app I really appreciate, such as the library of played kahoots and their reports, the possibility to challenge other players and the emoticons are also a great add-on.
As a creator, it is very easy, intuitive and fast to create a quiz and there are a lot of features and options to select when doing so.

Cons

What I like the least about this software is the 10-player limit on the free version of Kahoot.
I think it is a very low player limit, even to host a quiz for my peers and closed family.
Other than that, I have no other negative point to mention.
I also never faced any problem whatsoever with this software, neither did I need to contact its support team.

Pros

In point of view, this Kahoot software gives a lot of benefits when it comes to distance learning. Because of its flexibility, it gives kind of free learning outside the high school. As it can easily accessible anyone can use it and engage in the learning process through the learning processes in the schools and universities are declined due to epidemic situations or anything else. Its colorful background motivates me to keep learning happily. Kahoot inspires students to make their own Kahoots by convincing them of challenges. It tempts to build leaders among students while doing those stuff. though it is a kind of distance learning, it enables the student to build up relationships with each other within the community while engaging the learning process. As this software is free anyone can use it. This Kahoot software is the best solution to generate quizzes and distribute among students while keeping student-teacher connection outside the classroom. This software is convenient and easy to use when basics are known. Hence it is important to students like me as I’m unable to use quite difficult software. I’m so happy about this software and I highly recommended this software.

Cons

Sometimes this software is lagging while using when the internet connection slows down as it requires a fast internet connection to proceed. It uses a lot of time when producing our own quizzes and limitation of the characters when answering are the only downsides I noticed about this software.

Pros

Being a teacher takes a lot of creativity in order to keep students interested in your class. They have to feel like learning is fun, otherwise, they start getting distracted. Kahoot makes our lives a lot easier since they provide us with a platform that allows us to insert any kind of content of any subject, and turn it into a fun game or a competition among students. it can be used as a very efficient tool for content reviews, feedback, concept-checking, etc. It is really easy to use, instructions are very clear for beginners, and you will get it quickly. In addition to creating original quizzes, you can use other people's quizzes (when they are set up to be public) or you can copy them and change whatever you want so that it will be adapted to your students' needs.
I highly recommend the use of this website (and the app) for pedagogical purposes, and - why not? - to have fun with friends and family in an informal gathering.

Cons

It could have some more options for different games.
