### "Good tool for L&D trainer"

January 27, 2026

5.0

I’ve known AhaSlides since my university days. Their warm-up games helped me create more engaging presentations and actually get better grades. Now, as an L&D trainer, I need a platform that truly helps me connect with my audience and AhaSlides was the first name that came to my mind. It’s incredibly useful, easy to use, and has supported me so much throughout my journey, from being a student to becoming a trainer.

Pros

Their interactive warm-up activities helped me deliver more impactful presentations and achieve better academic results.

Cons

First time I use ahaslides, i feel a bit hard to choose template and interative activity for my present. Then the introduction video and AI support helps me a lot.

### "Using Aha slides in the EFL classroom "

December 12, 2025

5.0

I have been using AhaSlides for about a year now. I started with simple quizzes and now I am experimenting with having my full lesson content on the slides. I find the interface intuitive and easy to use. I have added it as an app on Zoom and today I am going to try using it with my online student.

Pros

My most recent favourite feature has been the possibility to embed other games or websites into the slides. I also like the variety of quiz questions and the possibility to leave reactions and comments during the quiz.

Cons

I would like to see more template variety and maybe the possibility to add disappearing animations but that is just something specific that I often use.

Kahoot offers limited question variations. Canva didn't have the possibility to add interactive questions (they have introduced it since). Genially's UI is not intuitive and it takes me more time to make presentations.

### "Review of Aha Slides "

November 4, 2025

3.0

I like it very much the students find the activities very engaging. However, for all my students to have individual access to it, I would have to subscribe which I cannot afford at this time.

Pros

They are very informative and presents novel ways to help with teaching. I like the fact that inclusivity is emphasised.

Cons

I dont have all the teaching ressources to implement what was presented. The special needs children at the institution where I work do not have access to many learning tools.

### "Ease and pleasantness of use "

November 3, 2025

4.0

I have done many brainstorming slides and helped friends make questionnaire slides and we were all extremely pleased with the results and ease of use.

Pros

The thing I love most is the simplicity and versatility of the service Creating slides with quizzes or creating brainstorms to project and interact with the class is spatial! Compatibility between PCs, smartphones and tablets helps the Diffusion.

Cons

What I didn't find comfortable is the clarity of the paid plans and activities, they are unclear and intuitive.

### "The best large group game out there"

April 28, 2020

4.0

AhaSlides is way more that a game software. However, the ability to host a massive game of 100's or even 1000's of participants is excellent. This is a strong feature that many seek, the ability to engage and interact with your large audience, and to have them interact with you in a meaningful way. AhaSlides deliver on just that.

Pros

AhaSlides was the best program I've used so far for large group activities. We were seeking a live host driven "Jackbox" experience, and AhaSlide made that super easy! I've used Kahoot before, kahoot is clunky, goofy and unprofessional. And I hate Kahoot's stupid song and sound effects. AhaSlides was completely customizable! I said it when I was interacting with your support team, you aren't the cheep alternative to Kahoot. But I'll go one step further, Kahoot is the lower quality, more expensive alternative to AhaSLides.

Cons

On my first use with their software, I had small issue with hardware compatibility on different Mac computers, and our projection system. AhaSlides would not display all the graphics on screen depending on the type of computer and browser we showed it on. We have a state of the art $10,000,000 broadcast facility with up to date video switcher systems. At the end of the day, it appeared that AhaSlides was very inconsistent with the way it displays across different browsers and computers (the most stable environment was a PC running Chrome, the least stable environment was a iMac running Safari) At the end of the day, I am a PC user, but I know that the vast majority of the time when I show up to any venue of any size, that Apple products are going to be used for video. So I need to be ready for any PC or Apple situation I find myself in, and so does AhaSlides. To thrive, your program needs to be airtight across all major platforms. Do not expect all organizations to be able to change platforms and browsers to get AhaSlides to work. Most aren't will to go through that work, and many don't even have that felxibility.

Reason for choosing AhaSlides

See above about making the switch.

[Kahoot!](https://www.capterra.com/p/156399/Kahoot/)

I wanted a better, more customizable platform for leading large crowds through fun stage activities. AhaSlides was perfect!! Kahoot is like trying to paint the Mona Lisa with crayons.

### "Easy to use, feature rich, interactive presentation software"

August 7, 2020

5.0

For a client I wanted to have lots of interaction with the audience (around 150+ people) for a short period of time. With AhaSlides this was very easy, successful and for a good price! After the job was done I just discontinued the subscription ... until the next time I need to do something similar ;-)

Pros

AhaSlides has many templates for different forms of interaction you would like to use in your presentations. Only open questions or only closed yes/no questions would be boring and inapplicable for all interactions. AhaSlides provides many means for all kind of interactions you would like to have. Besides all the features AhaSlides is really smart with data. During development of the presentation you have great options to test it, fill in some dummy data and reset all data just before the actual presentation. Afterwards it is very easy and convenient to export the data from a session and process it offline. Great, awesome tool!

Cons

AhaSlides is a tool for building presentations with online interactions with your viewers. It is not a tool to build 'broadcasting' presentations with.

I just needed it for a short period of time and Mentimeter didn't have monthly subscriptions. Afterwards I was happy I moved to AhaSlides 'cause AhaSlides has more templates for interaction than Mentimeter! :-D

### "Held off a big quiz until I found the perfectly priced software"

June 12, 2020

5.0

Very hapy and the 140 people on the quiz loved it

Pros

Price ease of use simplicity no cheating feature

Cons

I think if it had a host video feature it would be amazing I tried to stream live with Instagram and Facebook using eCamm and the best time difference I got was 9 seconds. I then used youtube and eCam and got 3, not perfect but helped.

### "Great Resource for Enhancing Learning and Development "

November 5, 2025

5.0

As I mentioned in the pros, I have had an overall very positive experience with AhaSlides. I use it for trainings in my learning and development business. I have enjoyed the feedback I have gotten from clients and learners that has reported that it has made a positive difference.

Pros

AhaSlides allowed me to differentiate my services for my learning and development company. The software engages learners just how I like. The polls, the ease of use, the fun slides - the spinning wheel and scale slides have made learning more accessible for my clients and learners.

Cons

There is not too much I don't like about it, but I do miss the ability to be able to purchase access for one-off or ad-hoc meeting or training. I'd like to see how

### "Helps me understand audience expectations right away"

May 28, 2025

5.0

Pros

I find the word cloud tool to be the most useful feature for launching workshops. AhaSlides detects immediately what people think about a selected topic. The tool serves both to warm up space and provide a graphical starting point for dialogue.

Cons

The software's export function does not include visual editing tools so I must work extra hours after each event to prepare the materials.

May 20, 2025

5.0

Pros

Built in quiz timer is good for pumping up participants on virtual sessions. I use that during youth workshop to boost energy. Keeping momentum, drives users to spontaneous response and makes learning like a game.

Cons

I would like to give a bit more time for a specific question if it is complex, but limited by the consistency of the setting.

### "Love Using with my Students"

May 19, 2021

5.0

My students love our daily polls. If I ever miss a day the students are so bumbed!

Pros

I love that students can answer anonymously so we do silly poll questions and serious questions. It was great for Zoom learning and also in person!

Cons

It's hard to trace a comment back to a student (which is also a plus, but if there's a problematic comment a teacher may need to be able to do that)

August 17, 2021

We are glad to hear that you and your student enjoy AhaSlides! We try to make AhaSlides as easy and fun to use as we can. To know who pick which answer in a poll, you can use the Audience Admission function to ask them for their name. When the poll ends, you can export the data to an Excel file to check the answers. Thanks for using AhaSlides!

July 6, 2020

4.0

We are a global company of over 200 people. During our working from home, all welfare activities paused. AhaSlides gave us a good solution for engaging people while learning about their peers, holidays or just general knowledge in fun games.

Pros

Product super easy to use, while when I had a question support team answered quickly. Best feature for us is the option of answering and seeing the answers at real-time.

Cons

I wished there were more options for types of answers, for example- percentages graph

### "A superb experience"

October 8, 2019

5.0

My work involves facilitating a demo of products that my team created to other staff, including higher-ups and team that will use the product. I frequently get bombarded by questions they make, I cannot choose the best question to answer and sometimes I feel like a person wanted to ask a question but they didn't. Then I got recommended AhaSlides to use in a Q&A session. The tool allows everyone to submit their questions and display it on the presentation screen, I pick the one that is the most common and answer it, also the submission is anonymous so this helps with shy people too! I love this software!

Pros

Easy to use Beautiful live animation when the audience submits Emoji integration Highly customizable

Cons

Some of my audience uses old Internet Explorer browser, which didn't work well

Thank you so much for your review! The AhaSlides team works very hard to ensure that you, the customer, would have the best experience. In quiz mode, participants can now join in your quiz with names and avatars (emojis). And our leaderboard can display the 6 highest points. However, you can scroll down to see up to 500 lower scores. Customers satisfaction is AhaSlides motivation to move forward, so more functions will be added in the near future. Stay tuned!

November 3, 2025

5.0

Großartiges Tool. Die Handhabung für mich und auch die Teilnehmenden ist sehr intuitiv und damit einfach. Alle machen mit und bereichern dadurch das Event.

Pros

Die Anwesenden werden an einer virtuellen Sitzung so zur Teilnehmen. Das belebt das Event und bringt es auf eine andere Ebene. Meine Gäste machen sehr gerne mit, da sie anonym antworten können.

Cons

Das ich das Programm so spät gefunden habe. Am Anfang war die Übersetzung auf Deutsch eine Herausforderung, das ist allerdings in der Zwischenzeit behoben worden.

Pros

The price. I was paying way too much for Mentimeter and getting basically the same features here for a fraction of the cost.

Cons

The design tools feel limiting. I spent 20 minutes trying to align text boxes and eventually just gave up. I had to use their AI to help me add slides from scratch.

July 30, 2024

5.0

I am a business coach with more than 24 years of experience, I conduct training and development programs for managers, sales and customer service specialists, all employees to improve personal and team effectiveness. In 2020 we faced significant restrictions on in-person events, and there was a need to conduct programs online. I compared Mentimeter, Kahoot and AhaSlides. For me, the design and visual purity of the design, the simplicity and speed of creating interactive presentations, the stability of the connection and the convenience for participants were important. I chose AhaSlides then, now it's been 4 years of use, my review is above. I'm happy with the product and thank you to the AhaSlides team for their work! Sincerely, Oleg

Pros

Like: General design and design of the program. User's workstation. Functionality and different types of slides. Product development and the emergence of new options. Interaction with support is fast and meaningful.

Cons

Would like to improve: Templates for slide design were created a long time ago, look simple, and need to be updated. I would like to understand in advance what will change in the program, since sometimes you open it, and it works differently. Recently, there have been a little more bugs, but this is normal for a developing product.
