Popplet Reviews & Product Details

Images can be added straight from our computer—or from external sources like Flickr—and with Popplet’s presentation mode, we can move through popples as if they were slides during planning sessions. Real-time collaboration means everyone edits the same map together—seamlessly and efficiently. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Limited visual customization — the choices for colors and fonts feel minimal (and a bit restrictive). Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The app is very easy to use, even my very young students can use it. You can easily continue working and export the mindmaps. The colour scheme is also good. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

nothing, the app is ideal for education, both in primary and in secondary. We haven't had any problems so far. When you touch the pencil it adds a blank drawing. You can't see it, but it's there and then you can't make the box smaller. That's annoying because often the children don't realize they touched the pencil. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It’s simple to view & display for someone viewing the info posted inside the boxes Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It’s mildly bland in style. View basic shapes and could use a facelift for its design. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Popplet is easy to use because you can follow the step by step directions. If you need to, you can go back and forth through the steps. I like that popplet is student friendly and the students can choose their own topic to create an organizer for. Also, popplet is great for students that have troubles with brainstorming ideas for writing. If students have log in information, they will be able to save their work and go back to complete their organizer the next time they come to the computer lab.

You can't change the title of each popple with the free account. I twould be nice if the free account allowed students to change the title of each popple instead of it saying "name" on all of the popples. If they could change the name, it would help the students to organize their graphic organizer better. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What I like best about Popplet is that it makes creating and presenting presentations simple and easy for students and teachers to use. As we have a license for our entire school district, it is great for use all the way from elementary school to high school! Students find it easy to use as well as teachers. Many programs we have piloted in the past, the learning curve for students and teachers, has been to hard. But with Popplet, it is very user-friendly and easy to manipulate and use.

It is a little bit pricey to buy a district license, especially with budget cuts happening. Still think that it is worth it though. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I love that I can literally add whatever I want to a popplet and it will live there. I function best when I have clear visuals, and as a visual person and learner, I best when I can spitball ideas and see spatial relations and connections between topics and resources. I love that I can open it up to contributors and get their take, and that I can modify things easily or remove and set aside things when I change where I'm going with a topic or idea.

The platform crashes frequently. I've had to reload and refresh and lost sometimes significant amounts of work over time with Popplet because there have been issues with its sync. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like that it is really easy to use, it is extremely user-friendly and it is fun. It helps with organization and ideas, and you can color code each popplet (thought bubble) to make everything easier to understand. You can also share your popplet's which is cool and add photos. It comes in app form for your phone, so you can take it with you where you need to do. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Nothing, it's a pretty straightforward platform, I like it and it works well. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What isn't there to love?! I do really well with being able to spitball things and have them be easily moved and changed and connected. Super easy to include photos/audio/video, and also just throw up links that connect to other ideas. I'm a very visual learner and processor, so this is the absolute PERFECT platform for Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

sometimes the platform just stops responding and you lose your popplets. I've also had issues with my popplets not saving which becomes incredibly frustrating, and it's a bit complicated to turn a popplet from public to private- seems unnecessary. I wish popplet had a sort of "template" feature that would allow multiple users to access the same popplet and be able to move it around and construct and for a group of people or a class being able to have each end user use the template to create and build their own with the tools in the template Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Popplet is a great platform for building simple, clean, informative mind maps, concept maps, diagrams, and flow charts in general. In order to be user-friendly, they've truly boiled it down to all the essentials students or users would need - ability to create interconnected bubbles with text. They offer basic customizations - colors, font size and alignment, and colored outlines. Beyond that, users can choose to represent text visually using an powerful image import system. Recently, Popplet also added a collaboration/sharing feature which was just what the platform and educators needed. In summary, I'm pleased with Popplet and the opportunity it offers my students to collaborate and build concept maps without getting lost in unnecessary details that similar platforms.

While some may find it to be far too minimal and lacking features, I think it serves a purpose in education and is useful. Due to being web-based, it can lag from time to time if you have weak or unstable connection. I've also found the app to be problematic, so I'd recommend sticking to the web-based option, if possible. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I believe popplet is a great software to try out because if it does work for you, it works great. It's a very visual learning tool, which I love to utilize when I'm really trying to dissect a topic or idea. It's super easy to use and there isn't a huge learning curve.

While I do love the features popplet offers, I would love if it offered more. It's a little one sided sometimes and I have used other softwares that have more features. Of course, if you use it and its exactly what you need and is enough, then popplet is great for you because you only need this one service. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
