"My go-to authoring tool"
5/5
What do you like best about Evolve Authoring?

With Evolve, you can create effective, beautiful and responsive elearning solutions, in much less time than it takes with other tools. I found it easy to get started with Evolve, but then the ability to customise your solution with a huge array of interaction types, theme options and extensions is amazing! If you ever have a question, the support staff and community are helpful and the tool is constantly being further developed and improved. The price point is also cost-effective, so all this makes Evolve the key part of my elearning development toolkit as a freelancer. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Evolve Authoring?

Theming is super powerful, but has a serious learning curve. I can generally manage to get themes to do what I want these days, but it’s still a bit of trial and error due to the massive amount of options! A search function in the Theme Editor would really help. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"My Review"
3.5/5
What do you like best about Evolve Authoring?

1. Infographic, graphic component, review function, and sharable link.

2. Support from the eVolve team – Carl Taylor (Evolve and Bloom) Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Evolve Authoring?

1. Download component- It's not as simple as what it should be.

1.1 After download file, it changes the file name to 'file' – removes the original file name.

2. Narrative component – can't change the bullet points color in body text section

Overall, not much control over the image size! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The easy of making edits and changes and quickly uploading new SCORM package. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The product is not inherently user friendly to novices unless you take the time to watch all the videos. I would advise requesting product training. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
