My Take
I think it is a great way to incorporate technology and allow student voice. It is simple to use and is very versatile.
How I Use It
Students can use Flip Grid to show evidence of their learning across content areas. You can use it as an exit ticket, show prior knowledge of a topic or to summarize reading. The only difficulty I have run into is if you have multiple students trying to record in a classroom at one time. It can get noisy and makes the videos hard to hear. Some solutions I have seen for these are the "Flipgrid Tents" where students can go to record, or simply having groups take turns or go out to the hallway while they record.

Anti-social Flipgrid
There should be negative stars, since even one would be an exaggeration. A terrible waste of time, and invitation to habitual frustration. For years, Flipgrid has had problems, losing video responses, announcing that a recording failed to upload... But now, as of 2023, it will not record at all: neither on a state of the art college computer, nor on an older but healthy computer at home, where every other program or app works just fine. Though I can watch the students' videos, in attempting to respond, the camera displays my image, but any attempt to record yields the same obstacle: "Something went wrong. Please refresh the page." And all that does is return me to the student's video, which begins running again.
Moreover, Flipgrid has always had terrible captions, completely useless for another language, and often ridiculously wrong in English.
Our department was one of the last to continue using Flipgrid - most others have switched to the internal Canvas function or Harmonize. We will be doing so as well, and warning others to steer clear of this miserable program.

Flipgrid is a great tool for learners to express their ideas in different way using video, animation and improve their public speaking abilities.
My overall opinion it is a great tool for students to share and interact with each others and learn from other students videos
