## Reviews

### "Beacon has been pretty helpful in helping me to create Beacon has been pretty helpful" — 5.0/5

> **Leah** | *7 March 2018*
> 
> **Pros**: I like that it is pretty simple to create a lead magnet. I'm looking forward to trying out the new features as I think that was one of the weak points.
> 
> **Cons**: The templates available are very plain and that is a bit of a turn-off. It's hard to be creative with the current platform so I'm excited to see the changes.

### "Create Your Lead Magnet With Ease" — 4.0/5

> **David** | *25 December 2018* | E-Learning | Recommendation rating: 7.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: - ready-made templates&#10;- easy to use with drag \&amp; drop builder,&#10;- easily turn your blog post into ebook&#10;- custom domain&#10;- password lock \&amp; lead capture feature
> 
> **Cons**: - to provide more flexibility when customizing your content on the page will be great.&#10;- development pace is a bit too slow.
> 
> While the software has solved one of my headache by helping me creating ebooks with ease. I do really hope that the developer can move a bit faster with their development. The development from end 2016 to end 2017 is at snail pace or non-improvement at all. But luckily, there is quite a lot of improvements from the end of 2017 to end 2018. Hopefully they can continue the momentum like that.

### "The tool to help you create good looking lead magnets" — 5.0/5

> **Sam** | *19 November 2022* | Writing & Editing | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: I like how that I can easily create good looking lead magnets quickly and easily with Beacon. It's great for people that aren't good with layout design.
> 
> **Cons**: The only negative I've come across is that sometimes when I add a page to an existing document it doesn't always stay in the correct order.
> 
> I'm creating free lead magnets with Beacon. And even have a page where people can see all the items I have made. It works well and helped me create better looking documents. I like that you can download them as PDF as well so don't have to use Beacon for everything if you don't want to.

### "Great value for lifetime membership" — 4.0/5

> **Shelle** | *8 December 2016* | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: -Quick&#13;&#10;-Easy&#13;&#10;-A number of nice templates to choose from&#13;&#10;-Update to be able to create your own templates
> 
> **Cons**: -Must stay within the pre-defined layouts for the most part&#13;&#10;-If you are used to designing in In Design or elsewhere, you may be frustrated by not being able to tweak the designs further
> 
> This is a great tool for quickly making eye catching e-books and PDF's of content you have on hand. As someone with a designer background, it is not overly powerful, but it is a very quick and easy way to get content into an ebook for lead magnets or sharing how to's or any other digital downloads you'd like to provide.
