Edvibe Anmeldelser 19

Edvibe has been unstable for years, but what stands out the most is the extremely poor quality of their production releases. After almost every update, critical functionality breaks: you can’t enter classes, sessions fail to load, calls don’t work. These are not edge cases — these are core features of the platform.

From an engineering perspective, this points to serious issues with release management, QA, and overall development processes. It feels like there is little to no regression testing or proper rollout strategy in place.

What’s equally concerning is the complete lack of communication. There’s no visible engineering presence, no public incident reports, no changelogs with meaningful detail, and no community where issues can be discussed. The only outward activity seems to be occasional marketing posts on LinkedIn, which feel completely disconnected from the actual state of the product.

Support is effectively unavailable during outages. When the platform goes down, the frontend often goes down with it — including the support chat. So when things break, users are left without any way to report issues or get updates.

From a professional standpoint, this is one of the weakest examples of production reliability and release discipline I’ve seen in a live product.

Guys, what's up with the latest update? Seriously. The text editing is just awful. The cursor is floating over words as if I were looking at them through a magnifying glass or something and sometimes is impossible to locate at all, the hot keys are not working (for instance, if you want to bold the word, you have to wait for the editing window to pop up to do it manually), no sorting lists, the gapping is flawed. I constrantly switch to the older versions of templates because it's faster. Don't you have a good QA team to get this all tested before putting out? If you think that anyone would love to spend all their time on your platform playing around pictures, words, fonts, etc., you are wrong. The subscription price is going up, the quality is nowhere near.

I'm putting 4 stars because I'm still enjoying using the platform

Ребят, это жесть. Обновления без предупреждений которые полностью ломают всю систему, отсутствие какой либо помощи со стороны техподдержки. Теперь чат поддержки просто умер, связаться с эдвайбом невозможно, а удаление учеников из марафонов считается как добавление нового!

Полнейший беспросветный мрак того, что было когда-то очень удобной и кайфовой платформой. Спустя 4 года на Эдвайбе, мы будем уходить.

I’ve been using Edvibe (Progressme) for online teaching, and unfortunately, my experience has been very disappointing.
During one of my lessons, the platform suddenly blocked my access to my teacher’s account and materials, even though there were still 3 hours left on my current plan. My payment card was linked for auto-renewal, so this shouldn’t have happened.
When I clicked to check what was going on, I was shown a few options that looked exactly like the normal renewal screen. I clicked “Pay” assuming it was the usual renewal, but the system switched me to a completely different plan (“Teaching plan”) — without any clear warning or confirmation that this change was irreversible.
Access was never restored during the lesson (which was ruined), and support refused to help. They simply told me it’s “technically impossible” to switch back to my previous plan and that I should have noticed the warning. However, there was no warning shown that day, which I clearly remember — and now they send screenshots claiming it was there.
Their platform has frequent glitches, and customer support is unhelpful and dismissive. Instead of resolving the issue or even admitting a system bug, they just quote their “User Agreement” and close the ticket.
I would strongly advise teachers and students to be cautious when using Edvibe. The interface is unreliable, technical issues are common, and if something goes wrong, you’ll be blamed for it with no compensation or help offered.

Edvibe used to be good, but now the just increased the prices and no major changes were done on the platform. Plus prices change form one day to another. One day the payment was "lifetime", the next one is 500 rubles and next 1000 rubles + a payment for ach student? This is nuts, We are definitely moving out from this platform coz is not only about the prices, everytime I log in there is always a mistake which requieres me to reload the page or exit the account and eneter again to "possibly" fix it. Really dissapointed of Edvibe.

Terrible CS, made an unauthorized charge and said I should delete my account if they were to issue a refund.

Lots of English mistakes, mostly lexical which means they probably used DeepL. Some basic grammar errors too. Russian interface flawless.
No clue which languages you can teach, yah its 25 but which ones?
The platform itself is useful for teachers, thats why it earned a second star. A manual would be useful though.
They keep changing the subscription fees every time I check, trying to write a technical review about this web app but they keep fiddling with stuff all the time, pretty frustrating.
Contacted the team via chat to enquire about payment options outside of VISA, they dont even have paypal which is weird for a 'US based ' company.

Asked my tutor to switch from this service due to security issues (russian based company). there are a lot of secure platforms to study online (Preply, Tutor.com etc)

I have been using it for over 2 years. The platform lacks certain features to be convenient. The biggest issue though is its reliability. The website may suddenly start lagging, the content may be buffering to show, certain features may not work at all, and customer support will not be able to do anything about it. Therefore, if you rely solely on this platform, you may suddenly not be able to do the teaching because of aforementioned issues. Sometimes, if you request, the team will agree to refund you the days (not the money), so you’ll be added lost days of subscription to your account. This, of course, is trivial to the loss incurred by you when teaching, or when your students can’t do their assignments. You may be the top teacher and have high fees for your teaching, but you always run the risk of not being able to rely on the platform due to its occasional problems. You must certainly take into consideration the potential loss incurred if the platform doesn’t work before you make a decision. Yes, it’s competitive price is appealing with all the features available, but when the platform is down, it’s down, and there is nothing you can do but wait.

Achtung !!! BETRUG !!!

I absolutely love Edvibe! The recently added AI assistant has made creating interactive exercises much easier!

Great platform, very happy with new Ai-Assistant it's getting easier to create an interactive exercises

Edvibe is the only tool I ever use for my classes. I travel a lot and teach ESL online. Edvibe has everything I need to organise and teach classes: preloaded lessons, custom course builder, interactive exercises synchronised in real time, whiteboard, video conferencing tool, timetable, group classes, dictionary and flashcard trainer for my students. I dumped my other subscriptions and just use one tool that has it all

The best platform for interactive online classes! Linguistic tools such as built-in dictionary, personal vocabulary for each student are very useful and convenient. Highly recommend for teachers and schools who want to develop online education or make it more efficient

I really like the platform, there are many different exercises, I especially like the board, where you can easily learn any language in an interactive way

I joined Edvibe platform about 3 years ago, and it made a huge difference in my teaching. The platform offers a great variety of tools that can be used to engage students (both kids and adults) and make the learning and teaching experience more enjoyable.

One of the best things about Edvibe is that it allows teachers to create interactive content that students can access from any gadget. Moreover, it provides you not only with templates for interactive exercises but with online whiteboard, video calls and even AI (so it shortens teacher's lesson preparation) !
Another great feature of Edvibe is that it helps teachers to create quizzes and assessments, listening, reading and video tasks, which engage students and make the learning experience more enjoyable.

Overall, Edvibe platform makes my teaching easier with it's tools and I am sure it makes my student's study more effective

I have been using Edvibe for almost a year creating a lot of different tasks for my students. I rarely use existing topics but I believe they might be helpful for some teachers who don't have enough time to create their own materials.

I highly appreciate all the opportunities the platform provides me with. I also love the option of self-checked exercises. It really makes the teaching process smooth and convenient and lets students complete the assignment at their own pace.

The support centre has been extremely helpful and quick too. Thank you!

Look forward to seeing new tools that could make lessons even more fruitful :)
