"Engaging Presentations Made Easy but Costly"
4/5
What do you like best about AhaSlides?

I love the engagement and the many different features that AhaSlides offers. It makes creativity, which I find difficult, a lot easier. I particularly love the live results and the little moving emojis I can add, which allow me to reach different generations. The initial setup was also super easy. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about AhaSlides?

I think the structure on how many people that can go into a slide is limited. I have the 100 participants, which I usually need a 150-200 sometimes. So it's limitations on that without going to a huge different cost and bracket. I also find that the accessibility for, like, adding a PowerPoint into AhaSlides, you have to do a lot of key features to it. Those are not the best. Also, I don't like how the AI is automatic. I prefer if it's something I can toggle. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Charles Jeffs of AhaSlides

Hello Hal,

Thanks again for sharing your experience, Hal. We’re happy AhaSlides is helping you keep engagement high in your virtual team meetings.

"Interactive Games with Effortless, No-Setup Participation"
5/5
What do you like best about AhaSlides?

I like best the different list of interactive games that it has and perhaps the feature that I like the most is that it requires little to no set-up for participants! Only a working internet and a browser... no sign-in and othee time consuming process Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about AhaSlides?

Perhaps the expensive paid version. There was not even a free trial before we even pay. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Charles Jeffs of AhaSlides

Hello Ralph Lauren,

Thank you so much for the 5-star review. We’re really glad to hear that AhaSlides has been helpful for interactive and competitive games.

It’s great to know that the easy participant experience, with only an internet connection and browser needed, helps reduce setup time and avoids extra sign-in steps. We’re also happy to hear that the online format is useful when presenting to students, especially as an alternative to sending files that take up data or storage.

I also appreciate your honest feedback about the paid version and wanting a clearer way to try it before upgrading. We understand how important it is to feel confident before choosing a paid plan, and I’ll make sure this feedback is shared with our team.

Thanks again for taking the time to share your experience. We’re happy AhaSlides is helping make your student presentations more interactive and easier to access.

"A Game-Changer for Engaging Virtual Training Sessions"
5/5
What do you like best about AhaSlides?

As an L&D Lead, I’ve used tools like Menti, Kahoot, and DirectPoll, but this platform stands out as far more effective. The ChatGPT integration significantly reduces the time needed to create questions for polls and quizzes, which is a big advantage.

The customization options, music features, and detailed reports deserve special mention areas where I’ve faced limitations with other platforms. While I use the Pro annual version, my extended team benefits from the free version, which still allows them to engage smaller audiences effectively, including features like leaderboards that I haven’t seen as well implemented elsewhere.

This is my go to platform for all my training events.

Also I must mention about the customer support, when I had some issue, I went in to chat and pinged the same, but I could not stay around but to my surprise they followed up until I was comfortable. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about AhaSlides?

It rarely crashes, but that’s something I can’t overlook. I did find a workaround, but the issue still occurs if the browser remains idle for long periods. In short duration events, this works completely fine. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Arya Le of AhaSlides

Hi Rajesh,

Thank you for such an incredible and detailed review! Your endorsement of our AI integration and customization options over other platforms means the world to us. We’re also so glad our support team was able to follow through and ensure you were taken care of!

Regarding the browser "idle" issue you mentioned - thank you for that feedback. Web browsers sometimes "sleep" tabs that have been inactive to save memory, which can occasionally cause interactive elements to lose their live connection. A quick tip: giving the page a quick refresh 1-2 minutes before your session begins usually re-establishes a fresh connection and prevents that mid-event lag.

We love that your extended team is also finding value in the free version for their smaller sessions. Thank you for being such an innovative leader in the L&D space and for making AhaSlides your go-to platform!

"Intuitive but Needs Clearer Button Labels"
3.5/5
What do you like best about AhaSlides?

I like AhaSlides' intuitive user interface and its overall ease of use. The content available in the library makes it even more valuable for me as it allows me to pull existing content for games with my team and gives me ideas for creating presentations. It's also really easy to use because anybody can just log in and begin using it immediately without any training. The initial setup was very easy too. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about AhaSlides?

Sometimes starting a presentation or a game requires a little bit of thinking about which buttons to click. That part isn't as intuitive and straightforward as most of the other parts of the application. The terminology used on the buttons to start a presentation are a bit confusing. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Charles Jeffs of AhaSlides

Hello Josh,

Thank you for taking the time to share your review. We’re glad to hear that AhaSlides feels intuitive overall and easy to get started with, especially without needing much training.

It’s also great to know that the content library has been useful for finding team games, getting ideas, and creating presentations and activities more quickly.

I also appreciate your honest feedback about the button labels and terminology when starting a presentation or game. We understand that this part of the experience should feel as straightforward as the rest of the product, and I’ll make sure this feedback is shared with our team.

Thanks again for sharing your experience, Josh. We’re happy AhaSlides is helping you create activities for your team more easily.

5/5
What do you like best about AhaSlides?

I like how AhaSlides keeps my students and audience engaged during lectures. I appreciate how it collects and displays information or opinions, which helps me understand if a topic is understood and if I need to adjust my teaching techniques for future classes. The initial setup was very easy. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about AhaSlides?

When creating slides from scratch, I usually use another website or service to create very appealing slides and then I use them to insert activities in AhaSlides. I think the design of AI-generated slides can be improved. I would like to see nicer color palettes and the layout in general could be better. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about AhaSlides?

Their interface is suited for easy slide prep, and easy access to users. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about AhaSlides?

The only downside is that the Choices are not visible on the screen, so if we host an event on a projector as well as device, (projector on screen for audience) the device can see all the answers, but the audience cannot. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"AhaSlides Makes Interactive Quizzes and Presentations Effortless"
5/5
What do you like best about AhaSlides?

As a university teacher, I’ve been testing the free plan of AhaSlides to create interactive quizzes and activities for my students, and the experience has been great so far. The platform is intuitive, easy to set up, and makes classes feel much more dynamic and engaging.

What I value the most is how simple it is to create live quizzes and interactive presentations without needing advanced technical knowledge. The students respond really well to the interactive features, and it helps keep them focused and participating during lessons.

Even on the free plan, AhaSlides offers enough functionality to properly test the platform and explore different teaching possibilities. So far, it has been a very useful tool for making classes more participatory and enjoyable. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
