## Reviews

### "Great App For Any College Course. Can Be Used For Attendance and Engagement." — 5.0/5

> **Jesse** | *20 August 2025* | Computer Software | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: The mobile app is very user friendly and it is easy for your professor to use to take attendance in class without passing a sign in sheet around. Also, the poll questions on this app are very interactive and make class engaging.
> 
> **Cons**: There are times that Top Hat requires you to reauthenticate through your university. This is frustrating when you just opened the app when class started and can't immediately enter the code.
> 
> It is overall a great app for any college course to integrate. Not only can you take attendance, you can also ask questions and post poll questions for students.

### "Great for School" — 5.0/5

> **Patrick** | *12 April 2019* | Higher Education | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: It is very easy to use and reliable. I used this for class and it was easy to set up a question and for students to answer it.
> 
> **Cons**: You can answer it from any location where there is wifi. If you are trying to post a question in a given location, that is not possible when your registered for the class.
> 
> I like it but there is better software to use for its purpose.

### "top hat for organic chemistry" — 5.0/5

> **Anitha** | *9 April 2021* | Higher Education | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: It is very convenient to design online quizzes and exams using top-hat. I use this for my organic chemistry classes, it is easy to draw the chemical structures
> 
> **Cons**: students complaint little bit about pricing, honestly it is not that expensive, otherwise it is user friendly software.
> 
> I have been using Top Hat for last 3 years, it makes my in-person and online quizzes and exams go smoothly.

### "Could be great, but app has persistent bugs" — 2.0/5

> **Eric** | *12 January 2021* | Education Management | Recommendation rating: 1.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: The gradebook is very well-designed and students have mostly enjoyed the tool.
> 
> **Cons**: There is a persistent bug in the app that I have been asking them to fix for almost 2 years.   When creating questions using LaTeX code, you cannot use commas.  There is a hack-y fix requiring you to use a unicode comma, but it often doesn't work and adds a lot of extra time when creating questions.    But, the responses for the company suggest that they have no plans on fixing the bug.
> 
> My overall opinion is that the app may be useful for classes that do not involve mathematical symbols, but if you are teaching CS or math courses, I strongly recommend finding another tool.   I tried using the app for two years, letting the developers know about the bug, but since they have no plans on fixing the bug and don't say anything about it in the documentation, only use if you don't mind wasting a lot of time messing around with unicode characters (or you don't plan on using commas in any questions\!).

### "Top Hat" — 5.0/5

> **Sidney** | *10 June 2021* | Education Management | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Top Hat is easy for both me and my professors to use. It's clean, sleek, and extremely user-friendly. Top Hat is also device-friendly and I've had a great experience using the mobile app on my iPhone. I like that my professors are able to embed questions within our lectures, which aids in my learning and makes sure I am understanding the material being presented in the lectures.
> 
> **Cons**: As a student, my least favorite thing about Top Hat is the pricing. Although my classes require Top Hat, the cost is not covered by university tuition and class fees. In addition, Top Hat makes you pay based on how long you will need the software. You can pay for an entire year, which would end up cheaper if most of your classes use Top Hat. However, you may end up paying for the entire year when you only need it for 3 months if only one of your classes requires it.
> 
> Overall, Top Hat is easy to use and seems to make life easier for professors. However, it is not the most cost effective for students who must pay out of pocket for the service each time their classes require it.
