SlideShare Reviews

by Stepcoach

Nope. Just a time waster. I chose my Favorite categories, but I am only offered 6 or 7 selections in each category - can’t find any way to see any others, without just searching. The FAQ doesn’t open, so is useless. Learning how to use this “educational” app is a time-intensive hunt and peck process, for which I don’t have time.
Either offer instructions to use this or don’t bother.
Just Google instead. It’s much, much quicker.

I signed up on the website through Scribd. No option to login through Scribd on SlideShare . Website doesn’t allow me to view or download the file that my college professor uploaded. I can see the first page only. Can’t enlarge, can’t go to next slide. Thought SlideShare would fix the issue. BUT NOT IF I CAN’T GET IN! 🙃You’d think that a Scribd company site/app would allow you to sign in with Scribd, especially since it’s a sign-in/sign-up option on the website. I even tried entering my actual email and password but it just says “oops, check your email/password” 😤

I downloaded SlideShare (iOS 13.2, iPad Pro 10.5), selected login with linkedin acct, and entered my linkedin email/password. The reply was some check the email/password msg. Rinse, repeat, rinse, repeat - same results! I then tried logging in with my Facebook account - no joy there either.

I even tried logging in via both methods using a web browser; got errors there as well - what the hey! BTW, my account info WAS entered correctly.

I read a review from someone else who had difficulty logging in. The response was a link at a this app help page. I visited the page and it was something about acceptable behavior for teens!

I used this app for 2 glorious nights many months ago. Tried to get back on recently, and up to now, have wasted at least 4 hours, changing passwords again and again, only to immediately afterward receive a message of “Oops. You clearly don’t remember your email address or password.” Fact is I just changed my password, not 2 minutes ago! I have deleted SlideShare 3x out of frustration. Had to give a review since the help area was no help at all. For content that I feel is so good, the access and help areas are completely lacking for me.

Like many others have said, every time I try to open a slide I get kicked out of SlideShare . I’ve wasted entirely too much time now trying over and over again because there seems to be a lot of great content for whatever I search, but I don’t have time or patience for this!!! Fix it and I will give 5 stars!

I got it- logged in and then went off SlideShare . When I had gotten back on earlier after finding a poetry book I wanted to read- I was logged out. I tried logged in over and over again. After a bit I realized it must’ve been because my account didn’t go through or something. So I tried creating my account but there was no where I could, I was locked in a screen where I could only login- but I had no account to log in too. So I deleted it and downloaded it again but I was locked in the same screen again. I’m a little devastated because it seems like a really nice and creative app- twas the three star instead of one - but of course I’ll never see SlideShare . Anyway you could help would be amazing!

So I downloaded SlideShare expecting a simple sign up since I’ve never used SlideShare before and turns out I needed to install another app just to work SlideShare (LinkedIn) which is not very convenient and on that note it still didn’t work it just kept saying “hmm something went wrong, try again?” Like some gave over screen in an arcade please fix this or tell me how to login.

I do quite like SlideShare and how you can get information on so many different things, but every time I go to click on one of the subjects I want to read it kicks me out of SlideShare . I don’t know if it’s just me or what, but it’s very frustrating. I’ve tried multiple times to get into the subject that I want, but it just won’t let me. Sometimes it will, but most of the time it just throws me out.

Since the announcement of the Merger and Acquisition this app routinely crashes. Additionally we’re required to read and understand the new policies at each log in or religion after each crash which is likely part of the crash problem. Search is not optimum. How many BS pdf or slides do we need promoting a commercial sale of say a book? It isn’t dozens.

It’s a pretty neat app with presentations from a wide range of topics. Search results are usually related but with broad sidelines and even 2 matching words appear in search. However I mostly end up finding useful stuff. I rated it 3 because of the glitches of SlideShare itself that are really annoying. For one, my saved slides keep on disappearing even while I’m viewing them. I simply go back and they’re no more there. When you turn to search for them again, it’s a matter of chance whether you gonna come across the same again or not. Pure luck I guess.

I found SlideShare be being referred to many images on Google search. I study medicine and attempt to help others learn medicine. There are many helpful slide presentations such as those presented at conferences that I can now access via this app. One feature I desire is similar to the rapid scan feature on my iPhone photos app where you can rapidly search and scan through many slides to find what you are interested in. I recommend.

It was very difficult to collect data on any topic ! Had to search many articles but SlideShare has made life easier as you can get all the information just in one presentations 👍

by TrentonPage

A great diversity of information you won’t generally find on the web. Like the fact that you can save the slideshows you want to keep for reference. Really helpful facility overall.

by RawrKitty

This will get five stars for me if slide share would support animated PPT presentations. If it does support animation then there should be an easy way to find out how to do that.
I can’t seem to find any instructions or slides they give you information and if so none of them work.

Ideas are the true key to any future changes, and slide share is a great way to help others understand your idea.

by Alross1989

I would recommend this to anyone,friends,family. Has a lot more information than regular Google,or Bing, Yahoo!

by Mrthuber

It's fantastic, accessible, easy and informative and a much better use of slack time than social networking! Love that you can save something you come across for later. Five stars!

by Dr. Fill

SlideShare is wonderful for ideas on how to best present information on a number of difficult topics to teach. I want my students to have concise, valuable information presented in a way that best explains complicated material clearly. I appreciate the ideas gained from SlideShare!

by Dy-Anne

Year of wasting time checking social media and finding memes. I could have been using SlideShare and enhancing my life. No sarcasm font I promise. In the few days I have had SlideShare I've culled through so many great presentations that I've almost filled the void left by the promoted twits and facething sponsored posts, instantgraphically smarter now.

by Chit Hsu Swe

I have been using it for two years. All I want to learn about is to be easily found in SlideShare. And It gives short to the point.

Nice app for people to view shared slides online, however, I had the problem with the quality of slides, even I had them downloaded or saved, when viewing the slides, the contents are still not so clear and so pixelated.

by Raghad Ghalib

It's good app but need more updates
First can't open from Google or versus
Second can't download the pdf from it
It will become just a wonderful application if can do the previous 2 thing

by Haydoory

Very good app but I wish I can send or share the document as it is not as a link so I give it 4 stars rating

by Kev2344

Learning at another level. Works great for me. I haven't been able to stop using it since I discovered it.
