What Users Love About the App

“The product provides an easy to use, a visually appealing platform for students to share their voice. The stickers and animations are incredible. The camera and video features are easy to use and intuitive. It works well with SeeSaw, Google Classroom and social media. Students enjoy working in Buncee and see it as an extension of their voice. Customer service is superb!”

“The product solves the problem of how to allow students to access materials available on the web while keeping them safe from sources and sites that appear as a part of a standard search. The product also solves the problem of how to help students who are visually overwhelmed by many computer-based tools while still sharing access to creative tools to share ideas. This product also appeared to solve the problem of dependence on a particular software to produce a presentation since it is web-based. For a low SES school, the free version does address the larger issue of equal access. The free version had enough “pizzazz” for kids to still make it a great product.”

“It is a more accessible tech tool for students to use to create presentations. They never have to leave Buncee to incorporate whatever media they would like. It fosters student creativity and autonomy as well as collaboration.”

“With the new math component that will be added to the platform, this will be a great tool for students to use when they need to create projects linked to the topics that they are learning. Students will be more motivated in learning math given that they can be creative in showing what they know using this product.”

“I liked that students can use this in so many different ways. I liked the possibility of use for the science fair projects. I do think that teachers could use this to make the lessons that they are teaching more entertaining. I loved the aspect of the reading and voice ability that can be used. This would be a great program for students that are trying to acquire a new language.”

What Users Dislike About the App

“The only thing that I would add is the ability to upload videos right to the platform instead of first uploading it to YouTube or Vimeo. It would be great for students to be able to take a video then upload that content to Buncee.”

“1) More applications towards higher-level math, like high school. 2) Sharing stuff with the parents. 3) Improve the iPad version so it can reach higher-level math concepts.”

“1) More Google Drive integration. 2) The ability to import MP3 files that aren’t from Soundcloud. 3) If it’s not there already, the ability to turn off the Explore feature for students.”

“It would be great if this website had a larger library of samples to draw ideas from. I would also suggest some templates, such as an interactive calendar for different ages so teachers could just choose a few things to add and make it relevant. I would also suggest even more simplified setting teachers could use to help students with cognitive limitations, sort of a step-by-step to help them make a standard presentation/template, almost like a 101 level to guide them.”

“I love the program, and the following suggestions would just be sprinkles on the cake. 1) I would love it if the multiple-choice and free-response answers were fed into a spreadsheet for ease of grading. 2) It would be great if multiple students could be working on the same Buncee at the same time on multiple devices. 3) It would be great if students could use a teacher-created username and password. The young ones have a hard time with the Google credentials set by the district, as they are so long.”
