★★★★ İbrahim Göktürk Gayret 5/16/2026 v224.0.0
The UI is a mess and it's hard to navigate through. Some buttons don't even work properly. For example, in order for me to access my teacher's Padlet (or whatever it is called) I need to first tap on the search button, and then tap on my teacher's padlet to access it because the button at the bottom of the app doesn't work. Moreover, I had to change password, but I wasn't able to because the settings button doesn't work. It opens a COMPLETELY blank page. Lmao

This app is a really frustrating user experience. Cool idea but terrible execution
★★★★ Hemakshi Patel 3/10/2026 v223.1.0
very bad experience.
★★★★ Laurie S 1/25/2026
tried many ways and cannot upload image. raspberries.
★★★★ Teresa H 1/25/2026 v222.3.0
nothing seems to open correctly
★★★★ Darrell Hagler 1/3/2026 v222.1.0
I can't figure it out. I don't know what to do and the tutorial is about computer stuff not the app. the "sandbox"(???) is too small I can't see it. there seems to be no way to make it bigger. it's not easy it's not helpful. it's just another useless app clogging up my phone.
★★★★ TM MT 12/27/2025 v221.1.0
expensive to subscribe 😭
★★★★ Yna Sage 12/12/2025
won’t work
★★★★ Nathaniel Bocca-Widener 11/27/2025 v221.0.0
This is an amazing app, but the fact that some phones can't use it as an app is annoying and frustrating, seeing as how if it works of you use it as a site. In what world would it make sense to let it work as a site, but one you try to download it they say "This app cannot be downloaded on this device"?
★★★★ Thé TrashCAN'T 11/2/2025 v221.0.0
Would be great if it wasn't so poorly optimized. The app tries to load in all posts at once and the app frequently crashes as a result. Sometimes I can't create my own posts, and other times I can't open up the app at all. The layout of the app is mostly good minus some formatting issues, it's simple and easy to navigate! But GOD, accessing educational resources and uploading assignments has never been this stressful.
★★★★ Pablo Barahona 10/24/2025
worst App ever.
★★★★ Hai Nguyen 10/19/2025 v220.2.0
The teacher uses this for collecting reading practice videos from 43 students. Everytime I open the classroom Padlet, it tries to load everything and the app is blocked for a minute or two until I can use the add button. The lazy loading handling in this app is the worst kind I've ever seen.
★★★★ Saif Sayoufi 10/14/2025
soo bad
★★★★ Michelle Rene 10/13/2025 v220.1.0
Pointless app aspiring to be a "creative's" version of "Teams", etc. & one that gets you to spend more money very quickly. Money-making racket. I can only conclude that there's one place on earth where teachers are highly paid & can afford this nonsense, which seldom seems to know that I was awake at 3.00am " burning the midnight oil"! CREEPY!
★★★★ Ana Moreno 10/7/2025 v219.0.0
freedom of speech is apperantly not protected under padlet. ditching the app.
★★★★ Jasmin 10/6/2025 v220.1.0
Horrible app, please do better
★★★★ Victor Pablito 10/6/2025 v220.1.0
They deleted padlets that kept our community safe. Not so much of free speech site.
★★★★ Mayra Carmona 10/5/2025 v220.1.0
deleting the people over papers notes is terrible.
★★★★ Ian More 10/5/2025
💩
★★★★ Aishahfr 17 10/3/2025
I hate itttt
★★★★ Michael Mattingly 9/28/2025 v220.1.0
New update sucks. I can't find any of my data on the app. It keeps asking if I want to turn on notifications after saying no multiple times.
★★★★ John Martin 9/23/2025
extremely user unfriendly. don't go anywhere near it if you value your sanity.
★★★★★ ayushi upadhyay 5/1/2026 v222.1.0

★★★★★ jasper mok 4/23/2026 v223.4.0

★★★★★ محمد هارون أرشد 2/27/2026 v223.1.0
it's ok
★★★★★ Luke 11/12/2025
Great note taking tool for fast note taking, shame all their board thumbnails are AI slop that don't actually show the layouts of the boards.
