There is no slow down and no problems. I have been using it for 18 months on my computer. I use it more on my computer, but it's nice to have symbaloo on my portable devices because it gives me much easier access to some things, especially for sites I don't have memorized, but still want to access.
I enjoy the layout & access on different devices! Wish you could edit bookmarks without having to delete it & start over.
I've used Symbaloo online for years - love the App - everything I need is right there and it keeps me organized.
I love the website. I have organized my tiles in a specific order. The app makes a mess of that.
Love using symbaloo on comp but im having issues adding new tiles to my webmixes.
I love being able to add tiles to webmixes from Galaxy IIIs and Nexus7 but the app crashes almost every time. I will give a 5 if that gets fixed!
Really like the concept of what symbol does and the Web version is great. However, very disappointed with the app version, the interface needs a lot of work to make it engaging and useful.
Symbaloo makes it easy to share the most frequent sites with my students. We made it our classroom homepage so we don't have to remember a huge list of URLs.
I have been a Symbaloo user for quite some time. I love it and the app just makes it that much better!
I got the message "No Connection" during login to EDU Symbaloo from my Android 2.3 tablet PC. Any solution?
I recommend this app to teachers because it is so easy to use.
I love the ease of having symbaloo readily accessible on my Galaxy S3.
I wish the app had the same functionality as the website where I could edit or add bookmarks.
Very helpful app to keep all of your links in one place and organised.
This makes using the web simple and efficient for all my teacher tasks!
Use this! Seriously! Easy. Convenient. Best bookmarking app around!
Hate it
Such easy to use.
Excellent tool to keep my url organize and with easy access.
A good repository for you stuff
Great place to keep everthing!
My students love it!!! :-)
Good app to have
Easy to use and edit
Used for years
Display is buggy. Icons don't show up and don't stand at the right place. I have 150 people using my Symbaloo, most of them want to use it on a mobile device and many complain that they cannot find the tiles. That apps ruined my efforts and wasted my time. I urge to improve it asap because you did a great work on the desktop version. Big thanks for that.
