### "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.

### "Easy and Interactive Tool for Presentations and Quizzes"

May 19, 2026

4.0

Overall, though, I’ve had a solid experience with AhaSlides. I’ve used it for regular presentations, quizzes, and getting people involved, and it honestly makes sessions livelier and less of a snooze. It’s pretty easy to get the hang of, and whenever I hit little snags, the support team was actually responsive. For teachers, students, or small groups who want interactive presentations without fussing over complex tools, it’s a really good deal.

Pros

AhaSlides is pretty affordable for what you get. There are tons of interactive features, and I found it easy to figure out right away—didn’t really have to waste time learning how things work. What stood out was how much it boosted engagement for both students and teachers. Live quizzes and polls kept presentations lively and people actually paid attention. Making quizzes is quick, which makes it simple to keep your audience involved, whether you’re teaching or running a meeting. The charts and graphics look clean and straightforward, so everything’s easy to follow.

Cons

AhaSlides does have a few limits if you’re after really advanced graphics or chart options—some bigger platforms just offer more. The free version holds back some features, too. And if your internet’s spotty, presentations can lag a bit.

I was looking for a presentation platform that actually lets you connect with the audience — something with live quizzes, polls, and engagement tools. AhaSlides made interactive sessions way simpler than the usual presentation software.

### "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.

### "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.

Reason for choosing AhaSlides

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.

### "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.

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.

### "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.

### "Ein Tool, das ich gerne früher gekannt hätte. "

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.

### "It works well! "

May 1, 2020

5.0

Overall, I love it! It really does add an interactive portion to your presentation. It works really well with youth and adults like it to. It has enhanced my presentations.

Pros

I like the interactive portion allowed for slides in the software. It allows you to really engage with your audience. It's participatory. It is not death by PowerPoint. In addition, setting up your slides and then selecting the various polls, etc. is so easy! I must say that the customer service is good also. I was on a business trip out of town and reached out to customer service around 9 PM on a Tuesday night needing guidance on my slides for a presentation I was doing the following morning. They responded right away. It was great that they were able to help me so I did not have come up with a workaround or go with a different product that I was more accustomed to but it would not have been as engaging.

Cons

I wish there was a way to be able to use the product if you do not have wifi. Sometimes being in hotels, convention centers, or certain buildings the wifi is spotty therefore, I am always nervous before the event starts and hope that people can access the software.

### "Economic solution for sporadic user with all the features from much more expensive KAHOOT"

February 17, 2022

4.0

Provided a training for a group of 10 people. Was familiar with KAHOOT, but had decided to forego an interactive element in my presentation due to the costs. Discovered AhaSlides the evening before my training session. Without having used the software before, I was able to set up various polls and quizzes to support and enhance my training. Was also very pleasantly surprised with the ability to export responses to excel, but also, export all sheets including participant's responses in a pdf slide package, which can then be shared with participants after the presentation together with the presentation itself.

Pros

Easy to quickly set up. My use revolved around simple quizzes and polls. My use is sporadic, so was not interested inexpensive and long term subscriptions. The 1-day option was exactly what I was looking for without breaking the bank. Reporting feature after your presentation is very useful.

Cons

Animations in imported Powerpoint are not taken over. Therefore, I had to switch between my Powerpoint presentation and the interactive website. Not a huge issue, but had animations also been copied, I would have had only 1 interface during my presentation, which would've been a huge benefit!

Loving it. We are currently working remotely and going through an organisational restructure. It's a great tool to connect virtually and it allows us to easily access feedback at a large scale. It is interactive and engaging and people like using it.

Pros

It's extremely easy to use, from both sides as a user and administrator. Interactive tool to get feedback and input from large numbers.

Cons

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.
