What Users Love About the App

“Knovio has come quite a long way since I first used it about 5 years ago–I love how responsive the company has been to improvement suggestions. I love that you can edit your recording and replace slides–especially helpful when you teach a course across two semesters and need to change a date!”

“Ease of use and ability to quickly make changes to content; support for Cloud hosting of content as well as export to MP4. The ability to create in-line tests is also really helpful. Support for importing existing video and audio, plus the ability to match up audio with a presentation, is really useful.”

“I like the ease of use with this program and the ability to customize and brand the look of the content. The best part is the analytics associated with the program and the level of drill down options it gives. Also, they take customer feedback seriously and are updating the platform as a result.”

“I working with this software and I’m glad that I can make a great presentation. Also good chance to share with social media. Perfect way downloads everything that I need.”

“Ability to send narration invites. Ability to record videos. Ability to upload Power Points, videos, audio. Great reporting tool including intriguing engagement scoring system.”

What Users Dislike About the App

“Limited editing capabilities for imported content often requires a third-party editor; reliance on Adobe Air and Flash for some functionality; single sign-on support costs extra; rendering MP4 video for export can take a long time. No ability to have multiple collaborators work on a single project; Knovio is limited to only one content creator per project.”

“Sometimes some of the features are difficult to find. It is most difficult to edit the videos. The recording can be complicated to do because sometimes you can hear the click of the button when you press stop. This makes the video seem unprofessional.”

“There is some confusion with adding audio files to slides at first, it can get messy quickly. A drag and drop feature would be great! If the files are not carefully labeled before upload, matching them to the slide is really confusing. I also had a hard time with the audio test – the steps were a little bit unclear.’

“At times the user interface (UI) of the product can be a bit counter-intuitive for users who doesn’t use the tool daily – it can be a little clunky getting around. Additionally, the upgrades and updates for the tool should be automated. Being told that prior work will be erased if you don’t download the new version isn’t best practice.”

“I don’t like all the separate tools. It makes it confusing. Accessing the different parts and understanding which one to choose can be confusing and tricky.”
