Kahoot review

Kahoot is the pick when trivia is a group event rather than a phone habit. The app lets you search millions of ready-made kahoots, build your own with images or videos, and host one live by sharing your screen to Apple TV or through a video call while everyone answers on their own device. A SharePlay option runs a live game inside a FaceTime call with no host needed, and you can also assign self-paced kahoots to friends. Kahoot ASA says the app is free for teachers and their students; paid Kahoot+ plans, listed on the US App Store from $5.99, add an image library and question types such as puzzles, polls and open-ended questions, and business users need a paid plan to host at work. It scores slightly below Trivia Crack on ease of setup because someone has to pick or build a quiz and run it. We compared documented features and published prices only.
