What do you like best about Thinglink?

I love how you can take any image and create an interactive image out of it. For example, you can take a map, add pin-points to specific locations, and when you click those pin-points, you can set it for a video to open, an essay to open, or even more images! It's easy enough for even students to use! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Thinglink?

As intuitive as Thinglink is, it is not as easy to start with. There are layers to the platform that take more experience than just click and go. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Thinglink:

If you are using this with students, take some time to get very familiar with it yourself. This is definitely a tool that needs a demo and a walk-through before students use it independently. It is a tool that you can do SO much with if you take the time to learn it! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Thinglink solving and how is that benefiting you?

Thinglink helped us add a layer of pizazz to basic documents that teachers were sharing. Our first use was to take a map and make it interactive to showcase student work with the click of a button. It turned static infographics into more in-depth learning tools. It helped students add a personal layer to an "about me" project that allowed them to link parts of their world to the product that was turned in. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Thinglink?

The most useful thing about Thinklink is the fact that my students get to interact with the pieces I create. The upside about using Thinglink is that my students can share their work with me and with their group mates easily. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Thinglink?

ThingLink is easy to use and allows the creation of interactive pictures, maps, 3D virtual tours, and many content types with minimum effort.

I like that it doesn't require any downloads. It lives in the cloud and works directly within web browsers. It makes it easy to create and share engaging content with anyone who has just a web browser installed on their device. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Thinglink?

It would be great if the ThingLink platform allows for importing SVG graphics to add to the content. That would help users create high-quality content with scalable pictures that don't lose resolution when resized. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Thinglink:

Consider redesigning the content created by other users instead of starting from scratch. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Thinglink solving and how is that benefiting you?

ThingLink allows me to add more learning resources into interactive spots when I create and share educational content with trainees. It encourages them to dive deep into the subject and supports self-directed learning, which results in better training outcomes. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Thinglink?

Really nice for producing interactive images, so long as your students don't use Chrome Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Thinglink?

ThingLink does not work with Chrome. When you access an image and click on elements, it suddenly hogs all of your CPU power - well, 70% plus. This slows everything down and makes laptops run hot. I have contacted support and they say "it's a problem with Chrome". Really? You have built an app that doesn't work with the world's most popular browser, and you say it's the browser's fault!

What do you like best about Thinglink?

Ability to house a variety of content in one place and make it look fun and engaging! We use it on a touch-screen display and it works really well to show our video, photo, quote, and story content all in one place. It's a useful program that is simple to understand and begin implementing. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Thinglink?

I wish that there were more custom features in their free and simple packages. Currently, there are limited functions I can do with a free account. It's enough to get the job done, but it would be helpful to have some more design options available when using their free account. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Thinglink:

If you are looking for a place to put a bunch of varying content on one page to display Thinglink is great! It is an awesome item to use at conventions or shows or events to show your product(s) and the stories connected to your product(s). Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Thinglink solving and how is that benefiting you?

We've been able to feature Thinglink on a screen at conventions for users to tap through our different content. With thinglink we have been able to tell our story in a more powerful and interesting way. This allows us to capture people's attention as they are at events or trade shows, etc. and the functionality of Thinglink makes it easy to browse around the design as well as set it up. I would recommend it to others who want to showcase their work and content in a new way. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I love that students can tag information/videos/images to base images and create interactive infographics. I have students as young as 2nd grade navigate ThingLink on their iPads with ease. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Thinglink?

Many features that were free are now premium only. I upgraded to one teacher account but it's too expensive to get it for our whole school. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Thinglink solving and how is that benefiting you?

Students have showed their learning in a fun, innovative way. They've created interactive timelines, maps, and flags and been able to label parts of diagrams. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
