Slides with Friends Reviews

“Slides with Friends is super easy to use!

Pros

I have been using SlidesWith for a while now and I'm really impressed! It's super easy to create and share slideshows with my colleagues, thanks to its adaptable interface. The variety of templates and design options help me make each presentation unique and visually appealing. They even have fun templates like icebreakers, trivia and brainstorming!

Cons

Since we're using the free version I have noticed that our options for customizing templates are a bit limited, but that's totally understandable. Other than that, I had no issues at all!

“Great team games that are interactive and fun

Pros

It's really easy for me to take an existing game, change up the questions and just use it right away.

Cons

It would be nice to have a few more tutorials to guide me through the more complex functions of the platform.

“Fantastic Tool

Pros

I love that everyone can participate! It's a refreshing change from other virtual gamification platforms I have used. I also love that I can tailor the questions and answers to what I'm teaching.

Cons

I wish there was a trial period for a larger group. With corporate budgets tightening, especially in the U.S, it'd be great to show off Slides with Friends without having to pay for a larger plan upfront. I ended up paying out of my own pocket for over 20 people. It would've been helpful to demonstrate its potential without the hefty $100 price tag.

“Its so easy to create polls

Pros

Being able to poll a group and see responses instantly is great for collaboration. Also it's easy to add new polls whenever needed.

Cons

I love everything about it but I'd love to see it integrate a little more with PowerPoint.

“Trivia fun for the office

Pros

I love how simple it is to set up trivia. There are so many slide types to choose from, making it really fun and personalized. The backgrounds look great and the platform is so easy to use, making trivia a breeze to organize for any size group. I have gone from paper, slides and manual point tallying to just clicking a button and enjoying the game. I use this at least once a month and hope to increase our in office trivia sessions!

Cons

Honestly there's nothing I can complain about. It's made my workflow much smoother and more visually appealing with very little effort.

“Elevating teamwork in presentations

Pros

The best part of Slides With Friends is being able to customize presentations collaboratively. It's so easy to update slides, change the design and make everything look unique. The animation and sound effects for team member profiles add fun interactivity.

Cons

One issue I've faced is occasional lagging, which can slow down the presentation flow. Also with live presentations, you can only have 10 members at once, which is a bit limiting.

“Very enjoyable and simple to use

Pros

It's interactive and really keeps our staff meetings lively.

Cons

It would be great to host offline events especially when the internet is spotty. That would be a huge plus.

“It has been so good so far

Pros

My team and I have been using Slides With Friends for almost a year and it's been fantastic for building our company culture. We mostly use it for bi weekly team happy hours. The ease of use and ability to personalize templates to fit our needs is awesome.

Cons

Haven't really run into anything I dislike. I think it would be awesome to see some �Game Show� templates like Jeopardy or Who Wants to Be a Millionaire, which I've seen on other platforms.

“A great game platform addition

Pros

I use it in my class to quiz students on spelling words. It's so easy to use, just start from a template and I'm good to go in as little as 15 minutes! My students love the polls and sound reactions when answering. It's simple and perfect for busy teachers like me.

Cons

The only inconvenience for me is inserting images. It would be amazing if I could directly insert images into the slides without having to save them to my laptop first. Maybe a feature that lets you copy-paste or link directly within the platform would be awesome.

“Fantastic tool for driving engagement

Pros

Slides is super easy to set up and use. I really enjoy the templates, and everyone loves it!

Cons

The platform can be a little unstable depending on Wi-Fi, but that's more of an internet issue than a problem with the tool itself.

“Creating engagement with Slides With Friends

Pros

It has quite simple templates for creating polls, surveys, word clouds, contests and more. I use it regularly with my class to gather survey responses and spark discussion.

Cons

I wish there were more color options for fonts, slide backgrounds, and other elements to help make presentations more customizable.

“A great tool for virtual events

Pros

It's been great for hosting our virtual events. The preset templates cover various topics and I can even create my own games and slides from scratch. The platform is fun, easy to use, and has definitely increased our engagement during meetings.

Cons

I haven't run into any issues while using the platform so far!

“Slides With Friends is a winner!

Pros

I really appreciate how interactive the platform is. Features like music for poll questions and the integration of graphics and summaries after sessions make it an outstanding tool for engaging workshops.

Cons

�Dislike� might be a bit too strong but there are a few features that would make the experience even better. For example, more comprehensive text formatting options would be great and the ability to hyperlink websites directly from within the app would be a nice addition.

“Teaching made easy with Friends

Pros

Its great that students can share pictures and vote for each other's responses in real time in it. The dual-screen feature during slide creation is great, as it lets me see how the slides will look both on the participant's phone and the projector. The stylish, professional backgrounds are a great touch too.

Cons

There aren't many options in the slide formats especially when creating things like multiple-choice questions or polls. As an ESL teacher, this has been a bit limiting as I can't let students add their own answers. Also inserting images isn't very easy and you are pretty much limited to the pre-made slide templates. There's no option to hyperlink slides for creating a more dynamic course experience, even though I have seen �Choose Your Own Adventure� slides in the popular decks. It's a promising tool but it still has room to grow.

“Engaging and so useful

Pros

It blends familiar presentation tools with customizable interactive activities that keep the audience fully engaged. It works great for remote sessions.

Cons

Nothing to complain about! The interface is simple and there are lots of pre packaged decks to use or customize.

“Very engaging and ideal for virtual meetings

Pros

The platform is easy for both developers and users.

Cons

I couldn't find many templates suited for corporate settings. Most of them are more personal, like those that involve showing personal pictures which wouldn't really work in a formal environment.

“Absolutely love Slides With Friends!

Pros

It's a fantastic product with so many templates to choose from. The instructions are simple and I was able to create a personalized deck for my team-building event. Definitely worth the price!

Cons

I was happy with the product. I'm not dissatisfied with anything and I definitely plan to use it again for next quarter's event.

“An Easy and fast way to work together

Pros

Slides With Friends offers dozens of pre made templates that are easy to use or adapt for your needs. I first tried it at a training, where we did a couple of fun activities over the course of three days. Then, I used it for a virtual goodbye party for a colleague. It was easy to customize the background (tacos of course!) and add trivia questions. The free version offers plenty of options, and they have two premium plans with reasonable pricing. I love that the 30 day plans

Cons

I didn't find anything I disliked about it.
