    Teamwork Essentials!

    Date: Apr 26 2023
    Summary

    Love this! Time saver for a large team to create post to celebrate or farewell for someone. Really like the features where you can add the picture, and video to make the post more fun and meaningful.

    Positive

    It's very easy to create, the gif, png and videos already in the system are great which makes the post fun! I have a large team, this really helps to save time.

    Negative

    The option to download the board is great, but you can't print form your computer nicely. It will be great if you can print out the post individually.

    Fun tool for the office

    Updated: Aug 04 2023
    Summary

    I can't think of a better way to spread good cheer and recognition among our staff. Everyone gets to be creative, yet it doesn't take a long time to create a post. Therefore, our participation rate is very high.

    Positive

    I like that everyone is able to contribute to good wishes for co-workers. And that the access and navigations are super easy to use.

    Negative

    I don't love the cost -- wish there was a way for our office to purchase access, maybe annually, for multiple initiators to access. Currently, each manager on our team has to buy their own access, separately. Also, I wish we could do more with the fonts -- like adding color.

    Kudoboard is a great tool!

    Date: Mar 01 2023
    Summary

    I absolutely love Kudoboard! It is a great tool to recognize your peers and counselees. It is a great way to say thank you and farewell to employees who are leaving the firm. It is a perfect way to say congrats to the newly promoted. I cannot imagine not having access to it!

    Positive

    Kudoboard is a great tool, very easy to use, with great features - such as image upload, access to gifs. I especially like that it is easily accessible on desktop and mobile, that you can share a link to it on your social media. I like the image extract - some of my friends printed their Kudoboards and loved it!

    Negative

    Of course, as any frequent user, I'd love to have access to cheap business plans. Currently, I am purchasing single boards whenever I need to set up a new Kudoboard.

    Major kudos to Kudoboard!

    Date: Nov 10 2023
    Summary

    I really enjoy using Kudoboard for those special occasions where you want to recognize a colleague. It allows for creativity in a professional environment. The user friendly platform makes it very inclusive and fun to use. It creates an opportunity for bonding experiences within the team.

    Positive

    I have used the Kudoboard platform for the last couple of offices that I have worked for. I like how it is user friendly and inclusive for all members of your office staff. The possibilities are endless and the Kudoboards can be created to accommodate small offices and up to very large offices with many staff members. It’s just that special touch when you want to recognize someone special!

    Negative

    I don’t like that you cannot attach a gift card to the Kudoboard when the recipient opens it. It would be perfect if you could do this! Currently, we have to send the gift card separately.

    Fantastic...

    Date: Jun 02 2023
    Summary

    Great experience, Quick and easy to register an account. Reliable service. Great you don't need an account to write a post as not all contributors want to set up an account.

    Positive

    Quick and easy to set up a board and share celebrations. Great way of collection contributions for that extra gift for the receiver.

    Negative

    The free board is not great with only 10 board posts. The charge for mire users should be unlimited not just 100 board posts.

    Amazing Kudoboard

    Updated: Mar 20 2023
    Summary

    I use this product when an employee is having a work anniversary. It is not enough to encourage me to pay for the extended version. It allows my team to connect and write something in honor of that person! Everyone loves getting their Kudoboard.

    Positive

    Love the colorful backgrounds and ease of use! Love the ability to make each Kudoboard unique. Enjoy the ability to set up a send date.

    Negative

    I do wish that the free version allowed up to 15 spots. My team is growing by a few and it would be nice to allow everyone the opportunity to contribute.

    Great for the workplace!

    Date: Apr 01 2023
    Summary

    Overall great experience.

    Maybe this is something I don't know about but it would be cool to be able to retain these kudoboards somehow. We use them with our work emails and I don't know how to download to keep.

    Positive

    It's easy to use. Fits all different kinds of occasions. I really like the ability to send the Kudoboard card to the recipient, it works seamlessly and very cool to see that the recipient actually looked at it and can send a thank you note back.

    Negative

    It would be nice to see more backgrounds / options to choose from when creating a board. Some of the options may also be a bit too childlike for a professional environment.

    It would also be nice to have some pre-written examples, for example: when creating a card "Farewell, NAME, thank you!" or help when creating a post "Thanks NAME for your contributions over the past year. Your leadership and positivity really made an impact on our org..". Something along those lines, I usually use google to help me write these things. lol

    Another thing would to randomize the search when adding gifs. I often see the same gifs being used, example: searching "celebrate" gets you a gif of the office every time....

    Fun to create and fun to receive!

    Updated: Feb 14 2023
    Summary

    We use Kudoboard in our office now for all birthdays and anniversaries. It's a simple tool and so much fun!

    Positive

    The process to create and send the boards is fun and intuitive - so many options are available! Everyone loves getting them, and the ability to save them in various ways is super. Now that some of our staff works remotely at least some of the time, this allows everyone to add their greetings.

    Negative

    The process of adding emails is a little cumbersome - having a list with tick boxes would be easier to use.

    Date: Nov 10 2023
    Summary

    Our Admin Team is located at different branches on the west coast from San Diego to Alaska. Kudoboard keeps us connected when celebrating each other.

    Positive

    Enjoy and appreciate the fact we can or cannot use gif's, photos, and/or emojis. Lots of options to make our messages unique.

    Negative

    Limited birthday backgrounds. I've used Kudoboards at my last couple jobs for all staff, each year, and we tend to have to recycle backgrounds because we've used them all.

    Positive

    It has a contributors list, and you can deliver it when you want. It has variety of backgrounds, great app overall.

    The free one can use only 10 contributors, no other cons.

    Loved my experience- my team is always looking forward to seeing the sweet messages that they get on here.

    Positive

    I love that I can make my work team feel special. We are cross regional and it helps greatly. I think that this is an opportunity to give someone a shout out or wish for happy birthday in a very easy and efficient manner.

    Negative

    I don't have any. I think this was very well thought through and planned.

    Great way to keep connected with your team.

    Updated: Sep 25 2023
    Summary

    In this world of telework, it can be sometimes hard to connect with you staff and co-workers. This is a great platform that helps bring the team together, for Birthdays, Babies, and just a plain ol' thank you.

    Positive

    The ease of creating a great Kudoboard for any occasion. Posting is very simple, and I love the fact that I can schedule the delivery. Great access to GIF's and simple to post photos.

    Negative

    The cost of the onetime boards. I am going to look into one of the plans. No other cons.

    Fun Option for Hybrid Offices!

    Updated: Apr 04 2023
    Summary

    Easy to use, affordable for small organizations, and very useful. I have received many positive responses and words of gratitude in using this product.

    Positive

    We love that we can, as a group, create a card from all of us in celebration, sympathy, or congratulations. The templates are fun and being able to personalize the message with videos, .gifs, font types, etc., is neat as well. A really fun platform!

    Negative

    I think it would be cool to make the notes different colors. Maybe that is an option of which I am not aware, but if it is, it isn't easy to find.

    Date: Aug 01 2023
    Summary

    Great product and usage for communities and friends. Would recommend for corporate settings and those that want to celebrate virtually but want the same warmth of a card.

    Positive

    Love that this is a community effort to bring people together to celebrate wins and birthdays, we love to send this along our office.

    Negative

    Cost is unnecessary for this type of product, though it does bring joy to people. I wish you could include more guests on the free offering.

    I have used Kudoboards for kudos, remembrances and recognition. It's flexibility and ease of use to set-up and for contributors makes it part of my tool set.

    Positive

    The ease of setting up a Kudoboard and contributing posts has come to make it my method for doing so. It allows contributors to use their own creativity and provide their thoughts in a forum that makes it a worthwhile gift to the recipient. It's both easy and fun.

    Negative

    It would be nice to have some flexibility in arranging posts when they have been gathered.

    Date: Dec 24 2023
    Summary

    Love this for my virtual team to celebrate birthdays or to wish a teammate well if sick or recovering. Very easy to use and share out to contributors.

    Positive

    Ease of setup and sharing out with contributors. I also love the fact there are so many option as to how the receiver of the board can choose how to use the gift card funds.

    Negative

    Wish there was another tier between the lite and premium that allowed videos or maybe an option where you pay a base price for the board and have the option to pick our own features for the board for $x price (pending on the feature).

    Nice way to gather online gratitude for event/person

    Date: Jan 03 2023
    Summary

    User friendly way to gather posts for an event/person. Used it since Corona, when we were forced to celebrate certain events online. Now we're still using it as nice addition to live events.

    Positive

    The simplicity to quickly put something together, but also the flexibility to adjust things afterwards and reorganize (eg if desired to print an actual poster). The internal library for users to pull photos off to make their post more interesting makes it also very easy to work with themes.

    Negative

    Only that the background library could be more extensive for basic users.

    Kudoboard: A Heartwarming and Innovative Celebration Platform

    Date: Jun 16 2023
    Summary

    Overall, Kudoboard is a delightful application that exceeded my expectations. Its intuitive interface, collaborative nature, extensive customization options, and seamless integration make it the go-to platform for creating heartwarming celebrations. Whether you want to surprise a loved one, honor a colleague, or celebrate a milestone, Kudoboard is the perfect companion. I highly recommend it to anyone seeking a unique and memorable way to commemorate special moments in life.

    Positive

    Kudoboard offers a unique and heartfelt way to celebrate special occasions and recognize the people who matter most in our lives. Here's why I believe Kudoboard deserves a five-star rating.

    First and foremost, the user interface is incredibly intuitive and user-friendly. From the moment I signed up, I found myself navigating through the application effortlessly. The layout is clean, visually appealing, and designed to maximize ease of use. Whether you're a tech-savvy individual or someone who's less familiar with digital platforms, Kudoboard caters to all levels of users.

    What sets Kudoboard apart from other celebration platforms is its collaborative and interactive nature. It enables multiple individuals to come together and contribute to a shared digital board. This feature is perfect for group celebrations, such as birthdays, retirements, graduations, and more. Each person can add messages, photos, videos, and GIFs to create a personalized and heartfelt tribute. It's a beautiful way to showcase the collective love, admiration, and appreciation for the person being celebrated.

    I was also impressed by the extensive customization options available on Kudoboard. Users can choose from a wide range of templates, backgrounds, and designs to create a board that perfectly matches the theme and personality of the occasion. The ability to personalize the board adds an extra touch of thoughtfulness, making the recipient feel even more special.

    Furthermore, Kudoboard offers seamless integration with various social media platforms, making it easy to invite friends and family to participate. Whether they are near or far, everyone can contribute to the board and share their well-wishes and memories. The ability to connect and celebrate with loved ones, regardless of physical distance, is truly remarkable.

    Negative

    I have not faced any issues with the application so far. So, no cons so far in last 2+ years.
