Kahoot! Reviews: 4.6/5 — Highly Rated

Using cahoot in a higher learning environment makes its engaging and allows for team collaboration and competition. I like the end screen where you can see the rankings and how teams are improving.

Some participants do not like the timed nature of the program as it can bring about a lot of competition amongst groups.

We are able to engage people in their 20s-30s with a fun and competitive games that drives them to work together and work through problems. I think its great for team bonding.

I love the real time interaction with the audience.

Sometimes is is a little slow on the uptick and the app does not integrate well with the web version of Kahoot.

Ability to survey meeting attendees quickly and real time.

It is a great fun way to get feedback from learnes through this application.

When joined in the game at a maximum level, the system might slow down. For example, if 500 people play at the same time, it gets reallu slow.

We created Kahoot for a project because we needed to have a survey. We had a successful result.

Love being able to search for ready made quizzes, play with friends to study or use at work for review of policies, etc. Our team at Applebees uses this game to learn policy updates, food laws, etc. I also use this program to study for tests with friends - we LOVE it! We play jumble, teams or on our town. It's great review tool!

I can't think of anything I don't like. It's a fun game with numerous play options and ready made games!

Our servers and food prep team has used this program at staff meetings to review and learn policies.

Kids love these activities. Makes for an engaging leaning experience.

The default music is a bit much. Allowing students to select their own usernames helps them feel safe to make mistakes, but also results in a lot of poop emojis in the nicknames.

Easy and fun way of engaging students in lessons

I love that it’s interactive and fun for the students

There’s not anything in particular other than not showing the answers on the screen and rather just shapes

We use this for engagement and enhanced learning. It benefits students that need hands on.

Makes learning kids fun for kids. Lots of games can be used.

Students are on phones during class time.

Engaging students in learning

It's fun and engaging. Students enjoy it.

The kids don't have enough time to think.

None

I have used Kahoot! in educational environments. It allowed children to get more comfortable with classroom materials in a interactive way. The children would get competitive and during kahoot activities. You can also enable students to have access to the link outside of class, which allows for a great studying tool that is different than the typical notecards.

Kahoot allows students to remain anonymous so they could "fake" participation during class activities and randomly choose answers. The software also lags at times which takes into the classroom time, so a full round is not always played. The time constraints can also cause some anxiety for students, which can lead them to not want to participate.

This app/program allows for an interactive studying platform that combines many learning styles into one.

Ease of use for both creator and student

Can get some getting used to. Not as bad as other solutions out there.

Simple and effective way of testing students on what they know.

Easy, fun, interactive platform that students love. Great competitive tool that motivates students to do their best against each other.

Need more ways to save data and put grades into Powerschool

Easy way to give quizzes and get students involved

Kahoot is so easy to use and helps keep the students engaged. Teachers can create a multiple choice "quiz" about any subject that they choose. There are also several quizzes that have already been created for you.

Sometimes the site glitches or goes slow. It just depends on your WIFI and how many students you have participating. This quiz also requires the use of some sort of device which not all classrooms have (Ipad, smartphone, laptop).

I have used Kahoot in several professional developments. it helps to ensure that each person is engaged and participating in the the activity. It is easy to track data using Kahoot, and serves as a quick formative assessment. Kahoot gives immediate feedback, so it is easy to see who "gets it" and who doesn't.

I like that I can create and customize interactive quizzes and practice for my students. Also, it is easy to find quizzes that are already created on the same topic and edit those to fit my needs.

I wish there were more pre-made quizzes to search from. Also, I wish I could easily search for pictures, videos, and music to add to my Kahoots.

This is a great bring your own device activity for students. This is a fun way for students to use their phones while still learning in the classroom. Students love the interactivity, silly music, and fun competition between other students. It then operates as a classroom management device at the same time.

I love the game-show like interaction, the fast answer scoring, and the ability to add photos to the quiz pages.

I wish I had the ability to do a in-the-moment-quiz or review activities. Currently, all Kahoots must be pre-made ahead of time. This is an ability that Socrative was able to create.

The need for student engagement and review.

Good interactive game that gets almost all kids engaged. I like that I can alter the amount of time allowed for each question, as well as add pictures or diagrams to the questions. The scorekeeping keeps the kids interested and trying to get the right answers.

It can get a little crazy and some students just guess really fast trying to get the most points, rather than thinking through the question. There are ways to use it more as an assessment/survey, but the kids don't have fun with that.

I use kahoot to review with students. Once I see overall answers to questions, this also let me go over the questions in the moment if students have not done well. It's a great way to test the kids in a fun positive way and get instant feedback of their knowledge/understanding.

It is a fun multiple choice quiz game tool. I’ve used it many times with my students and they love it! It is easy to search for created quizzes.

It is cumbersome and time consuming to create a game from scratch. I would also like better image integration.

It is a fun way to engage a whole class. It works for front loading or introducing ideas, or to review ideas.

Kahoot can be an exciting and fun experience. Its quizzes are like fun time-constrained games that can be played on our own devices. It's really easy to create quizzes and to demarcate which option is the correct answer. There are score-boards at the end of each question.

Long text entry answers would be nice. Subjective answers add to multiple choice options. Sometimes it can be a bit buggy and hard to unfreeze it. It can be a bit draining on the battery too.

Creating Quizzes, reviewing text material, training new employees and students, ice-breakers, learning tool.

I like that we can engage colleagues from many locations and also kick start conversation with quieter groups

can be a bit confusing to set up. userface needs a bit of refreshing.

we are connecting our global team through new hire orientation using Kahoot

Easy to set up and to run games for review

Could do with more customization options

Staff Training Quizzes

My students loved kahoot! The best part was the ease in creating the quiz games and the live feed of scores as the game goes along.

Each player has to have their own device. When played in the classroom (not the computer lab) not every student could play.

Kahoot is a fun way to review content, make learning fun, and prep for quizzes and tests. The students are engaged in their learning and they want to do well.

Kahoot is a very good way to make fun games for various meetings and training for interns! I love how easily accessible it is and the time limit feature which makes quizzes more fun and competitive for the participants.

Sometimes it takes too long to load or freezes on the device which defeats the purpose of a quiz, and it's no use at that time.

I use it for training interns and some work meetings.

I like that Kahoot is a very simple setup without too many functions. Often times with classroom technology, things are too complicated and lead to confusion.

There are times at which the interface can be a little glitchy.

I have been able to help my students learn and have fun at the same time. Teaching middle school, my students enjoy using the newest, coolest technology.

I like the competition aspect. Students are engaged and work on their speed in answering questions. They've also added a team play feature which is fun for grouping.

The wait time for an entire class to join can be tricky - the quiz resets if someone joins late.

It's an engaging way to review concepts in the classroom or to pre-assess knowledge.

I like being able to add my own pictures with text and being able to download my students' results.

I dislike how they changed the interface making adding new questions a bit of a pain.

Kahoot gives me a quick overview of where my students are.

Simple Social and engaging. Kids love it and have a great time while learning

I wish it had a Teams mode where students could collaborate on answers

Education

It's a good platform to use to for engagement in presentations

The free version only allows you to use a few questions

We're increasing participation in workshops and presentations at my company

What I like the most about Kahoot! is how engaging and fun it is to both host and play a kahoot. I like how easy it is to create a kahoot from zero, and the platform is very intuitive and user-friendly. I also enjoy a lot the mobile app in which I can save all my reports from past kahoots and play them to unlock emoticons and so on. Overall, Kahoot is a great platform to host quizzes, and I could easily recommend it to anyone.

What I like the least about Kahoot! is the 10-player limit on the free version. I think this is a low number of players, even for the free version itself. I would like to see this number increased a little. If so, I would use Kahoot! more often.

With Kahoot!, I'm being able to host quizzes for my friends and family in an engaging and fun way. This way, all participants can learn in an informal and fun way.

How it dose a great job engaging student and making school fun while still learning content material!

Could do a better job at modifying game to fit various need of students

Used mostly for math

That you can see real time results on the big screen

It isn't that easy to explain where people need to enter the code

More interactive PowerPoints

My students love to play Kahoot! They barely notice that we are practicing content because they are always caught up in the competition of it all. They get very excited whenever we play.

I don’t like how points are given for speed and accuracy because it makes my kids get trigger happy and choose answers before they think.

Engagement is a big problem that has been helped with this. Students who don’t tend to participate always enjoy Kahoot!
