Most Helpful Reviews

Powtoon

Jed, Vice Principal: I wanted to give you a 10 but subscription is costly especially for Catholic private school teachers.
Pam, Unemployed: My daughter used this platform and I just dealt with the customer service which was excellent. I don’t have a screenshot but here’s my dog.
Joey Alaimo, Director: I just started using Powtoon and find it a useful tool. I'm still getting familiar with it, but I like what I've been able to produce so far. But there is a lot I still need to learn about using Powtoon. I am using this tool as a Business, not a school, so I responded "Neutral" to most of the questions in the survey.
