What do you like best? Discovered Synap when looking to create an online learning platform for my company's user base and I was seriously impressed. It really is THE new platform to utilise for businesses looking to implement e-learning for their employees quickly and efficiently. Very intuitive software.
What do you dislike? Can't fault the platform yet (been using for circa 12 months now)... and given the simplicity and customer support I'd imagine we'll continue to use the Synap guys for a long time.

What do you like best? Ease of moving from a static unusable system to Synap LMS platform allows us more freedom to incorporate the features we required for our company. No question is too much of a big deal. We feel confident we can go to the Synap team to present an idea or request a system feature and they are keen to explore the options with us. As we are a relatively new company who are at the beginning of a journey with interactive learning we feel confident Synap will continue to support us along the way.
What do you dislike? Nothing currently, always have been willing to take on new ideas and functions

What do you like best? Review Title Synap - mytaxi Pros Ease of use! A lot of our users wouldn't be that comfortable with online resources like this but the simplicity of the platform allows our students to learn and gain knowledge quickly & easily. Adaptability - Features on the platform allow students to tailor the questions they need to improve on and improve their overall score. Their spaced repetition algorithm also helps highlight areas students need to improve
What do you dislike? Nothing! Couldn't recommend it any higher. We've had over 500 students pass their exam as a result of Synap's platform
