## Reviews

### "Quirkos: Essential software for data analysis" — 5.0/5

> **Kevin** | *25 October 2022* | Higher Education | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: I was searching for videos about analyzing qualitative data in youtube.com and I stumbled upon computer-assisted qualitative data analysis software. From there, a video about Quirkos emerged and I watched an introductory video about using Quirkos. After that I went to the Quirkos site and began researching prices, availability, etc. The price was so reasonable I thought to myself I couldn't do without the product and I was right\! Imagine I was going to code my data using different colored post-it notes or different colored highlighting markers. Instead, I was able to create Quirks, or categories, which were easy to manipulate with the software's drag and drop features. In addition, the ability to create reports and classify data was also easy to use. At one point, I had a question about one of the features and someone from Quirkos returned my inquiry within 24 hours. The support was amazing and the product was simple to navigate, especially for someone who is not that tech savvy. In short, Quirkos is essential software for data analysis.
> 
> **Cons**: I can't say there was anything I didn't like about this product.

### "Categorizaciones rápidas" — 5.0/5

> **Fray Agustin** | *8 October 2022* | Civic & Social Organization | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Me gusta la forma en que representa visualmente los códigos y formar categorías analíticas mediante agrupación
> 
> **Cons**: No permite trabajar con documentos de imágenes o video ni con muchas otras fuentes de datos
> 
> Lo he usado para buscar temas de manera fácil. Cuando agrego una entrevista nueva, rápidamente puedo empezar a trabajar y encontrar temas de conversación

### "Installed and tested Quirkos 1.4. It couldn't handle a 100 page Word document for coding." — 3.0/5

> **Ray** | *31 March 2018* | Recommendation rating: 6.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: The design of the user interface is excellent. The interface is intuitive, easy to use, and follows quite an intuitive method of assigning codes to documents. &#13;&#10;The fact that Quirkos is cross-platform, and is the only bigger-name QDA that will run natively in Linux, is utterly brilliant. Researchers and grad students who rely on Linux should consider Quirkos. Perhaps the shortcomings I have noted here will not be problems for usage, or hopefully have been remedied.
> 
> **Cons**: The backend design of Quirkos is simply not robust enough for qualitative data analysis. My field research Word documents are all 100 -200 pages in length. Quirkos was not able to handle even one of these documents for coding. The application became very slow and unresponsive and eventually crashed. Customer service told me that v1.4 was unable to handle long documents, but added that the team was rewriting much of the code for a more robust release. In my opinion, a QDA application must be able to handle huge documents with no reduction in speed or responsiveness.&#13;&#10;&#13;&#10;Another con is that Quirkos is unable to code PDF documents directly. PDF documents must be converted into .txt or .doc formats in order to import into the software for coding. This is simply not a practical solution for researchers who have many PDF documents for analysis. Transcoding to another format will also lead to the loss of original page number formatting- this can be problematic when it comes to citing an exact page number
> 
> I learnt how important it is for a QDA to be robustly designed from the very start. Quirkos suffers from a lack of robust design that reduces its stability and made it essentially useless to me. It has great potential and could be a major QDA application especially because of its true cross-platform support that includes Linux.

### "A Promising Software" — 5.0/5

> **Tina** | *8 April 2022* | Higher Education | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: I greatly appreciate the visual color element to coding. I tend to work very well with color coded labeling, and this helped greatly in identifying different themes. Additionally, the colors make work more interesting, which, when you're spending hours upon hours analyzing, makes work much more interesting. This is what I have been waiting for.
> 
> **Cons**: I didn't get to try out every single feature, but I do think I needed a more thorough introduction to be able to smoothly get around, even thought I watched the video and went through the little arrows. I need more than a quick start. I had a few problems with how to do certain things, and unfortunately didn't figure out how to do them before the trial ended.
> 
> Overall, I'm very excited about this software and can't wait to use it more.

### "Quirkos Makes Data Analysis Easy (Even for a Novice)" — 5.0/5

> **Elizabeth** | *8 September 2022* | Higher Education | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: The visual representation and the options for how to organize each data point made it easier for me to identify important patterns and outliers in my qualitative interview data. Also, it was a huge time-saver to use the various text search choices as I worked through my iterative coding.
> 
> **Cons**: At first, I had some difficulty combining data points (quirks) and then separating them if I needed to, but this got easier as I kept going.
> 
> Excellent -- it is difficult to imagine how I would have finished my doctoral study without it\! Thank you\!
