Review of Preply


Rated 3 out of 5 stars

Subscription Only is Not Clear Before Class Payment Made

Unfortunately the platform is subscription only. I booked a lesson and paid for it before the platform made clear that to continue with the tutor I had to take out a monthly subscription which I didn't want to do. I cancelled the booked lesson which was an option offered on the interface but Preply did not initially refund the fee. Instead I got 1 credit on this subscription platform which I didn't want.

I wrote a stiff mail to them asking for a refund and to be fair I got a reply within minutes and a refund.

But beware of booking one class if you don't want to subsequently take out a subscription to the platform.

Review of Doodly


Rated 4 out of 5 stars

Great tool for teachers and trainers who are not very technical

Doodly is an easy to use tool for non tech people like me. Its a great way to engage your audience. I am interspersing Doodly clips with other training material to liven things up and illustrate learning points. It allows me to create characters and stories to bring ideas to life.

The only thing I had an issue with was that I didn't realise that the basic tool does not have color and also the amount of graphics you get with the basic tool is quite limited so you have to add more.

I like that you can import your own graphics and photos and use those if you want to.

I have added color and more graphics (at extra cost) and at the moment I am quite happy with doodly.

I also like the music options that can be added. They are better than some of the music with other video editing software that I have bought.
