Every week, I have to deal with this crappy site; it is a perfect way to torture students. You may think it sounds fun and easy, but no, it is the complete opposite. You watch super long videos that are unskippable and have built-in questions. It's a complete waste of time, and tons of bugs can occur, too. I've completed a video for class, but all of a sudden, it completely resets my progress, and I can't recover any work I did. Overall rating is a one, would rate lower if possible.

Torture
This is definitely one of the worst educational platforms there is. You have to watch usually long videos that you can't skip through or tab out which is excruciating, especially for people with ADHD like me. There are questions throughout the video, and the answers are supposed to be somewhere in the video but sometimes the question has nothing to do with the video so you'll either have to look it up or make a guess. And if you get It wrong, too bad. There's so second chance, it's wrong and it will effect your grade at the end of the video. I think teachers use this because they're probably tired of having to teach students which is fair, but if you are going to have an educational platform teach your students, there is way better platforms than this.

It led to the downfall of actual GOOD edtech
I hate this site with all my guts. It doesn't allow you to skip, and it forces to make you answer questions through a specific timeframe.
On the topic of the questions, most of the time, it's rather that the questions don't make sense, or they weren't even MENTIONED. So you rather have to make an educated guess, or look up the answer. And the only Edpuzzles that make SENSE are the ones made by Edpuzzle THEMSELVES.
But on the topic of looking up answers, its likely that your teacher is watching you when you tab out, and no, it's not GoGuardian.
On the topic of the title, it made good edtechs that weren't boring, and didn't push repetitive, boring, and uninteresting assignments that cause student burnout. Some of these were BrainPOP, and Bill Nye. Technically Bill Nye isn't edtech, it's just an educational TV program, but i'm still calling it edtech.
So, there are archives of these on YouTube, and you can edit it to make it an edpuzzle. Which caued the downfall of these, but still, Brain POP is still widely used, so, i'd digress.
Edpuzzle is a good practicing tool every once-in-a-while, not something used everyday.
We really use this in science class. We didn't have to do this repetitively in MONTHS, but the scars are still fresh in my mind when I see this pitiful excuse of a learning tool. So, yeah, if you're a teacher seeing this, don't get this, or your students might not like you.

Worst thing known to man
Worst thing known to man, I'd give it a 0 stars if I could, lags constantly, if there is multiple awnsers you can't only choose one, it's so buggy and it's just genuinely terrible I wish schools didn't have to use the worst technology and services and programs known to man
