What do you like best about CrankWheel?

I love the fact that the viewer doesn't have to sign in or download anything. It's also a great feature being able to tell if the person is still watching or not. It works great when presenting and needing to ensure they are still tuned in. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about CrankWheel?

I don't have anything I dislike about it, honestly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is CrankWheel solving and how is that benefiting you?

It solves the problem of having to download an app or sign into a program to view the screenshare. This has made sharing illustrations and proposals with my clients such a breeze! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about CrankWheel?

I use Crankwheel multiple times a day. I sell health insurance and Crankwheel makes my phone meetings SO much easier because I can share the prospects quote and benefits with them, sllowing them to see what I'm telling them. I think that helps them digest what they are going to possibly be paying for much better than only hearing what I tell them and having to make a decision based on that alone. It's super easy to implement and I've never had any issues with prospects finding it to be too complicated to click on the text link I send, so that's a definitel plus. I haven't integrated it yet, but I just found out I can integrate with Hubspot and that gets a thumbs up from me. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about CrankWheel?

I haven't found anything I don't like yet. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is CrankWheel solving and how is that benefiting you?

I can show my prospects the cost and benefits of the insurance policies they have to choose from, thus making their decision-making process simpler. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about CrankWheel?

CrankWheel is an exceptional screen-sharing tool designed primarily for sales teams, insurance agents, and customer support professionals who need a fast and seamless way to share their screens with clients. Unlike traditional screen-sharing software, CrankWheel requires no downloads or installations for viewers, making it an excellent choice for engaging with prospects in real time without technical barriers.

Best Use Cases

Insurance agents & financial advisors – Great for walking clients through applications and policy details. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about CrankWheel?

No Full Video Conferencing – While it excels at screen sharing, CrankWheel is not a full video conferencing solution (though it does offer audio call integration). Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Why It’s a Game-Changer for Insurance Agents & Sales Pros

✅ Saves time & eliminates technical barriers

✅ Increases engagement & improves close rates

✅ Allows instant, secure co-browsing to guide clients Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Jói Sigurdsson of CrankWheel

Thank you Ronnell! I wanted to mention that we have been busy adding the most important full video conferencing features, and you can now set up a scheduled meeting with CrankWheel where participants use web-based audio (i.e. their computer microphone and speakers) and all participants can share their webcam to other participants, whereas before it was only the presenter who could share their webcam. We'll be improving on these features throughout this year!

What do you like best about CrankWheel?

I like that I can just send a client a link for them to click. It's a simple way to get them to see the presentation.

And I like that I am able to see what section of my screen they are viewing, and that I am notified if they leave the presentation.

Tha ability to have them connect by entering my personal meeting link is also a plus for when they cant access email or something.

Also the landing page option for after I end the screenshare. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about CrankWheel?

Sometimes I forget to end the screenshare after I finish and hang up with a client. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is CrankWheel solving and how is that benefiting you?

Legally I have to present coverage to clients before i can take any payment for policy plans. CrankWheel makes that process very simple. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about CrankWheel?

I like the different options available to be able to screenshare with client. I also like the new option to have client sign forms on Crankwheel. I think it is a smooth transition from the time the client logs on to the moment they see the program window. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about CrankWheel?

It's not necessarily a crankwheel issue but I sometimes forget to click on the auto-connect button & so the client will get the screen with the number, at which point I remember. I think it would be nice for that button to be automatic & we click it off when we need. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is CrankWheel solving and how is that benefiting you?

It allows everyone to be able to view whether it's on a laptop, tablet or phone. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Jói Sigurdsson of CrankWheel

Thanks for the review, Helen! To get the preferred behavior you mentioned, you can visit https://meeting.is/ss/edit_company, click on "Show advanced settings" and turn on the "Auto accept on by default" checkbox and then save.

What do you like best about CrankWheel?

the ease of engaging the end user via their phone number/sms. they can be tech or platform clueless and it will just appear for them! The interface is also quite self explanatory Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about CrankWheel?

there are 3 icons to the left of webcam. it would be good if their function appeared when hovering over them. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is CrankWheel solving and how is that benefiting you?

There can be a lot of back and forth when deciding what provider to video call/screen share with. Crankwheel is just ready to go; it doesn't require downloading on the recipient end, and it works, so it's a winner to me. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Jói Sigurdsson of CrankWheel

Hi Roxane, thank you so much for the review, and for the feedback on the icons next to the webcam - that is a great point. I think you mean the ones that control size, position and blurring - I will try to get tips added that appear when you hover over them!

Response from Jói Sigurdsson of CrankWheel

Thanks for the review Karin, and the feedback! I wanted to mention that there is a button to choose the "fit" so that your screen share always fits into the window they see: Click the button next to the pause icon, and choose "Shrink to fit within width and height as needed". Hope that helps!
