## Reviews

### "A useful tool for creating classes" — 5.0/5

> **Frankie** | *30 August 2025* | Computer & Network Security | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Google Classroom has been useful to my online studies.The features are great for independent studies. From the student teacher interaction, user interface and access to classroom files all make the app great and easy to use\! Google's customer service is always a pleasure to deal with and I have never had a problem with them. In the edn, all I've said added up to great app for independent study groups, classes and church study groups.
> 
> **Cons**: I think the only con I've encountered is a lag when trying upload alot of materials at one time, but that is more than likely an issue that can be resolved by just doing the uploads in smaller chunks and not a massive data drop.
> 
> Overall, Google Classroom is a great app for people who want creat their own courses and share knowledge with a group. Churches on a budget trying to add a mobile study component should definitely consider using this tool\!

### "I really loved my experience with this site, which lasted more than two years" — 3.0/5

> **Verified Reviewer** | *20 April 2024* | Marketing & Advertising | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: What I loved most about it is the wonderful organization with high quality and the capabilities of bringing together large numbers in teams in a way that is not available in many other sites. It suits me in many situations, such as my studies and work, and I truly believe that any person currently, whether a student or an employee, will need it one day.
> 
> **Cons**: What I liked least about the site is their slow customer service and response, and I think it does not befit the range of features on the site. The last thing was that if some of the ideas on it were developed using artificial intelligence, it would be more creative, although it really is not one of the best sites for me. The best of them
> 
> It was a very good experience. I highly recommend it to anyone who needs the features that the site offers. For me, some of the flaws can be overlooked in light of the amount of features available, and it does not cost the person anything.&#10;Everything is really organized perfectly

I mostly use it for small tutoring groups or my one on ones. It has worked for my students when they even travel to different countries.
> 
> **Cons**: The only issue I've had with Google Classroom is an occasional stall when trying to upload from the phone. This hasn't been a big issue as it's typically resolved with a refresh or restart of the app.
>
