Customizing my schedule is so helpful especially when there are lots of options > > **Cons**: I wish I could stop people from downloading on multiple devices > > I have a good experience using of it from bite sides ----- ### "Excellent tool for conferences, training, orientations etc." — 4.0/5 > **Verified Reviewer** | *24 July 2018* | Higher Education | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: I have used guidebook for a few years now. Most of my usage experience has come as a conference attendee. I no longer need to get tree-killing printed conference schedules (unless I am presenting, then I want a copy)\! The tool is very easy to use in most situations. You can create a registration/check-in for folks, put in guides, schedules, reminders, and push notifications to users. I have explored using it for my own office as well, and had worked with guidebook to set up a trial. I thought the tool was very useful for our work (University - training undergraduate student staff), however, the price was a little too high for the extent to which this product would have been helpful, so I decided not to go through with this. > > **Cons**: The schedule explore can be a little clunky, it will not keep your place at times, randomly refresh itself, etc. The search feature can be your best friend if you know what you are looking for, because the organization system is not designed for any specific context, which means that while it is good for many different uses, it leave a little to be desire in each specific context. > > Significantly reduce printing costs and paper usage. Allow individuals to plan better. Send updates in a timely fashion. Allow users to interact with each other. ----- ### "Not a fan of Guidebook" — 3.0/5 > **Raymond** | *7 October 2019* | Higher Education | Recommendation rating: 4.0/10 > > **Pros**: For what it does, Guidebook is very useful. Great at being that one place on the phone for visitors to click to for information about the events taking place on campus. > > **Cons**: Customization is really bad. You're forced to use their color palette, which doesn't make sense. ----- ### "Good product, very intuitive and comes with a great customer support team" — 4.0/5 > **Verified Reviewer** | *21 November 2017* | Recommendation rating: 7.0/10 > > **Pros**: The guides we create are very easy to build and navigate. Most menus and items can be customized and the website's support FAQs and step-by-step instructions are incredibly helpful. If an answer can't be found there, I've always gotten quick answers from the support team that address what I need. > > **Cons**: The only reason I'm not rating this 5 stars is because there's no lead tracker availability. At our conferences, we have exhibitors that would like to follow up with attendees more directly than just saying "do you have a business card?". Further, we would like to track actual attendance at sessions by having a QR code printed on badges and someone at the door to scan as people arrive. As much as we encourage our attendees, we know not everyone will download the app and check-in to sessions, so that doesn't give us the most reliable data. > > Ease of use and a consistent product we feel good about promoting to our attendees. ----- ### "Guidebook is a one-stop shop for conferences" — 5.0/5 > **Julie** | *18 February 2019* | Higher Education | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: I have used Guidebook at several conferences, and love the ease of use as well as the total elimination of printed schedules and information. With the option of selecting what events I am planning to attend (and setting calendar reminders as well\!) out the menu of offerings for any given day or time period, this makes scheduling a breeze. Maps, powerpoints, speaker notes, and options for social networking allow attendees to have any information they need just with one app. > > **Cons**: For my purposes, I didn't have any complaints about this software or its utilization. > > Guidebook eliminates the need for any printing, which cuts down on costs and waste. Guidebook makes it easy to stay on schedule, with maps and reminders. Connecting with other attendees is easy too, through the app, without needing to give more personal information than what you'd like while still having a way to network. ----- Page: 1 / 4\ Next: [Next page](https://www.softwareadvice.co.uk/software/135712/guidebook?page=2) ## Links - [View on SoftwareAdvice](https://www.softwareadvice.co.uk/software/135712/guidebook) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | en | | | en-AU | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | ----- ## Structured Data
