    ...in an educational environment, I actually appreciate this kind of service very much. I'm currently waiting for my approval, one day won't hurt me that much. After all their service is free and offers a lot.

    ManishJha96 Acadly is a good alternative to all the ed-tech apps used for class engagement as it is free and its revolutionary mesh network-based attendance system captures attendance in seconds even for a class of 400+ students.
    Positive comment • over 2 years ago • as an alternative to  
    Poll Everywhere

    The communication features and higher-ed focused functionalities like LaTeX compatibility made Acadly a much better platform for my class.
