• Freshman year I buy a $50 plastic remote so I can answer questions in class, and I wonder "why can't I just use my phone for this?" Now guess what? That remote is useless! Can't sell it either, because everyone is using Tophat, on their phones! But wait, not only do I have to buy $200 more worth of new textbooks with online access codes again, I need a SUBSCRIPTION for Tophat! Do I pay for one semester? Do I risk buying two semesters not knowing if they'll SWITCH TO SOMETHING ELSE next time?! I have no idea! But then again, what's $30 more to the already unimaginable cost of an education? Surely the app itself well designed software worth the money and will be a great utility to help me study and keep up in class, right? Nope, the app is terrible! The interface is unintuitive and slow. 8 years ago

• Add a feature to notify student when new question is open/posted so I don’t have to leave my phone on the whole time and drain my battery. 8 years ago
• I hate this system so much. 8 years ago
• Tophat is an absolutely terrible app only good for frustration and hurling obscenities as whomever made you purchase it. 8 years ago
• Sometimes when I try to answer a question there isn't a submit option which leads me to closing the app and having to restart which by then the question is no longer active please look into it. 8 years ago
