I just spent quite a bit of time researching Pergo.
Many have commented that there is a clicking sound when walking on it,
and others have said it is too spongy.
Can anyone comment on this please?
Thanks.

Spongy is usually a sloppy install or uneven floor. Clicking may be
possible as it is a hard surface material and the right type of shoe
material can make noise on any floor.

I have none of those issues, being a bit soft is a bonus to keep from
getting sore feet compared to walking on tile all day. But I will say
maple pergo I have is so smooth any dirt shows immediatly and I have a
few holes from dropping things in the kitchen. There are tougher
floors that show less dirt.

The floor itself doesn't "click" (or shouldn't). Perhaps commentators are
hearing the taps on ladies' high heels?
Spongy? Could be. Laminate is not attached to the substance beneath it
(i.e., concrete slab). If there are irregularities, such as laying laminate
over carpeting, you might get a bounce or a wiggle. But put down even
semi-properly, you won't see any bobbing.

No bounce or wiggle or bobbing here. Dirt does not show appreciably. I
mop it up with Bruce laminate cleaner once a month, and I use a
Swiffer once a month. Takes no time for 5 rooms.
No dents in mine after 2 years, the usual water spills have caused
zero problems; if a water ring is left behind, I use a lightly
moistened paper towel and it's gone.
Mine is Pergo on moisture barrier on concrete. Installed by Lowe's
contracted personnel.
