What do you like best about Yapp?

Setting up a Yapp can be mostly done by non-technical administrative personnel. It is intuitive and a quick introduction is all that is required to get people started using it. For more complicated activities, we do generate custom imports using the mobileDoc format to enhance the people section. We have conferences with thousands of attendees and use the formatted content in the about section of the import template to publish personalized agendas, complete with map links directly into Yapp.

And, the support!!! OUTSTANDING!!! We push the limits in some regards and have occasionally reached out for assistance. If a world where service has lost it's meaning, it is such a pleasure to get very timely responses and knowledgeable help on the first contact each and every time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Yapp?

We have complaints whatsoever.

Yes, there are enhancements we'd love to see but it serves its purpose extremely well. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

We organize conferences with detailed individual agendas, consisting of meetings, dinner groups, activities and group functions. These may involve 300 or more dinner reservations in hundreds of venues, seating charts for assigned seating in the meetings to encourage new relationships etc. and small group activities to foster relationships.

The logistics are daunting and fluid. Changes can and do happen at the last minute – such as weather events or venue changes. We have automated the publishing of data to Yapp so any attendee can refer to their most current agenda on their mobile device. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Yapp?

Easy to use Lots of functionality Affordable Pricing

I began using Yapp before it expanded it's capabilities. It continues to grow with customers needs. It's easy to use for both the content creator and the end user. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Yapp?

Even for its reasonable price it is not cheap for a small event. Our confernece is under 200 people so while it's worth it to use it is still an investment for our small group. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

We had been using an app to collect a photos, an app to send messages and didn't have an app that shared the schedule. It was too much. Having one system has worked tremendously well for our clients. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Yapp?

We really needed an app that was straighforward for our Orientation Weekend. With many of the other tools, we were havingto pay for a lot of extra features that we simply didn't need and didn't use. This app was so well received by our new students, family, faculty, and staff AND it was a great price! It was so easy to set up and the UX of the finished product was actually superior to a much more expensive prodcut we used the previous year. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Yapp?

We wish their was a branded version. While it would likely up the price, it would have been nice to not have to say download "yapp" and instead we could have used a more branded name for the Orientation app. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

This was a cost effective product that met all of our needs for Orientation Weekend! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Yapp?

Yapp looks great, easy to use, reliable, and functionality streamlines communication with attendees. This is a must use for anyone that wants to create conference or learn apps for their users. The implementation is so easy and integrations are incredible. My entire conference raves about the experience. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Yapp?

I wish that once you load the event - it would automatically pull in vs. each time having to select it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

What do you like best about Yapp?

I like the flexibibility to create different things for the app that we create. I like the different features and pages you can add and create for your app. For what we use it for, it is nice for it to be on a single app and then they can access the different event apps we create through the app. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Yapp?

I would like the editor page to be a little different. At least the ability to have a bigger screen shown. Or multiple pages open at once. I get how it resembles what you will see on the app but sometimes its hard to edit pages when you can only see a little bit of it or only one page at a time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

The ease of our employees being able to see the schedule for certain events we have in addition to other features. The other features include pdf files, contact info, maps and other faq our employees might have for an event. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Yapp?

Yapp is so easy to use! Our conference attendees had no issues installing and using the app -- thre was no hand holding necessary, exactly how you want it to be! The few times I needed help from support when I was setting up the app, they were super quick to respond. I loved being able to make announcements real-time during the conference as things came up. I'll be using Yapp again for future conferences. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Yapp?

Not much to dislike whatsoever. In terms of enhancements, it would be nice if there was a way for attendees to message each other one-to-one from within the app. Of course, attendees can use the attendee contact info for direct communications. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Yapp streamlined our communications with conference attendees before, during and after the event. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Yapp?

The intuitiveness and user-friendliness of the app makes it so easy to work with. The drag and drop interface is extremly easy to work with. I can also appreciate that it is a forgiving platform. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Yapp?

The inability of attendees to check in without using a third party application. Also, speakers should be able to upload their own documents and presentations. Would love to see a few more customization features to make the app more personalized for our event. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Yapp is streamlining our communication for our annual winter conference and saving us the costs of printing paper agends. The plan is to use the app as our de facto communication hub and potentially use it as our organization app for amore mobile-friendly version of our website.

What do you like best about Yapp?

It can really enhance employee engagement. For example, you could create a dedicated app for staff events where you share daily activities, what's happening around and showcase highlights from past events. This not only keeps everyone informed but also creates a connected community. The Yapp app team also gave a lot of support to custmozime some features which was very helpful. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Yapp?

- Does not support gif files.

- Some pages doest have live update featues and need to publish the changes from editor dash board resulting the people who use the app to always "load" the app over and over to see any small changes we do.

- Some pages cannot be edited from Computer and if i have to upload a photo i need to send it to my phone first and then upload to Yapp app. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Communication, staff engagement, user friendly and easy access app. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Yapp?

Yapp was easy to use for both me as the conference coordinator and for the user. I love that the app content and images store locally on the users phone so that when interent is tricky they aren't stuck with a spinnig wheel of death. I just encouraged the users to look through the whole app for the conference before arriving, and then they were sure to have all the information even if they fell offline during. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Yapp?

I wish there was a way to customize the user experience by user more - would love to be able to upload a personalized schedule based on the user's email address! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Yapp provided a quick and easy solution to having a conference app for a guidebook, directory, and general information without having to build an app from scratch and go through the app store process. It allowed us to update the information on the fly, prevented us from needing to print schedules for hundreds of people, and allowed our users to chat with each other in the chat room function.

What do you like best about Yapp?

Using this platform was very easy to use to create an app for our attendees and our attendees found it very easy to use on the user side. Very user friendly for all. The ease of implementation was amzaing and made it worth the money spent even regardless of any downfalls. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Yapp?

What I found the least helpful was the fact that I have to pay more to get analytics. I believe that there should be some limited analytics that come with the starter package. At least how many people downloaded the app and used it. I also would have found it helpful to have a survey option versus just a poll. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

We did not have to print paper packets with all the information for our attendees. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
