Panopto App Reviews

Great for listening to lectures on the go. Cant figure how to delete downloaded lectures and dont have the storage to download any more (Update- to make room for storage delete the app and re-download, individual lectures will be erased)

If it werent for class recordings using this software and app I would not use it. One of the worst recording apps. I very much like Tegrity. This app doesnt let you review PowerPoint slides used by professors during their class lecture presentations. The play button feature fades away; when you try to tap on the play/pause button it takes you to another part of the recording. Not happy with this app!!!

At least make it compatible with the iPad Pro 12.9in resolution as well as split screen. This app is really not good.

Lets face it, tegrity wasnt fancy or laden with features. However, at least it was reliable and had useful features such as downloading a lecture..... Panopto lectures have been poor quality on iPad and online. My professors hate it. Half of our lectures are missing. It is terrible.

Does not have the feature to make the lectures faster (1.5x speed)

This app honestly isnt that great. My school uses this program to record our lectures and I like to listen to the lecture over again mostly when I commute to and from school which was the sole reason I downloaded this app. Problem #1: Not user friendly at ALL. I attend a fairly large educational institution and panapto is used school-wide. Because of this, there are literally hundreds of panapto videos that are organized at the discretion of the professors who use this software. So if I want to look at the folder for a specific course/professor I have to scroll through more than 250 folders every single time. There is no way to jump to folders that start with a specific letter such as “N” or “R” other than scrolling. Problem #2: And this is the main I felt the need to write this review. Despite all of the setbacks of this app I’ve still been a consistent user. The sole feature I appreciated was on the app I could download different panapto videos to a special folder within the app. This way I could simply and quickly locate the panapto videos I wanted to view without having to spend 5 minutes scrolling through hundreds of folders. Well with the new update that was released October 12th, 2016, this feature was removed. So now I am back to scrolling through hundreds of folders to find one video. This is extremely frustrating. If you are a consumer looking to use the services of panapto and you have a audience that is heavily app based, I would strongly reccommend you find another company unless this app is redesigned to meet better standards. If it wasn’t for the fact that this is the how my institution records lectures I would happily remove this app. I strongly urge this apps develops to take a better approach.

This app does not load lectures on iPad. Desktop site works fine. IPad app has not worked for a year or more.

Lacking features: Bad resolution compared to desktop browser version. I cant read small font in lecture ppts. No ability to choose or resize the video feed. I often dont need to see the lecturer. iPhone version is worse than the iPad version. No ability to change playback speed on iPhone. Fix these and its a 5 star app. I can do picture in picture from an iPad browser. Why not here?

Ever since updating videos are only audio. I can only see a black screen

Cant see any videos, the menu does not load. Gives error message for everything I try to do.

I keep getting an error message, "Cannot parse," when I try to play my lecture videos. I have confirmed that the videos work on the computer, just not the iPad app. :( This renders the app completely useless.

I love This app because it allows me to review detail that I didnt catch at class. Now that I discovered that I can download the videos I love it more, the internet at my residence off campus is SLOW!! So is good to download it at school and be able to see it latter. If the app could allow to multitask (open Panopto as well as my Presentations) so that I could take notes while seen the video will be awesome. On the other hand, it allowed you to keep hearing it while on other apps, but still sometimes professors point at things or draw and if you using the Ipad is not that easy if your not looking at what they are doing while on you note taking app.

This app is overly difficult to log into. The UI is ugly and dated. That said, the videos run reliably. Id love to see this app improve with time.

Only basic features available on website are on this app. Many basic features available on other audio/video apps are absent. Poor scrubbing, and regularly forgets playback position if you happen to leave the app.

Wont even play the lectures. Just keeps closing them.

Im so glad to see Panopto has an app, it works great and the live notes feature is awesome!

Strictly an iPhone app that gets 2xd to work with iPad.

Well done Panopto team! The UI is intuitive and looks great, and everything is working perfectly. Fast and easy. Thanks for building such a great app!

We use Blackboard for a login. This app does not support that function so this app is useless until that feature is added.

Only works with local Panopto accounts, not useful for AD enabled implementations. Hopefully this will be addressed soon.
