    Great option for hybrid office birthdays and celebrations

    Date: Jun 30 2023
    Summary

    Great experience each time we use this option. People seem to enjoy being able to personalize their greetings and it's much easier than passing a card around.

    Positive

    Great option for having employees 'sign' a colleague's birthday card and add their own personal touch, e.g., gifs and photos.

    Negative

    I do wish there was a cheaper enterprise/annual option for small companies (more than 10 employees but fewer than 100). Paying $6 each time seems a little high.

    Fun and easy to use

    Date: Apr 04 2023
    Summary

    We were doing google slides to send bday and Yelpiversary cards and Kudoboard is significantly easier, faster, and more fun.

    Positive

    I love the layout, posting capability with gifs, ease of use, and auto-send features! Teams really like the solution compared to what we had before.

    Negative

    Nothing really negative to say as I like the software. Sometimes I post later than others and my post goes to the bottom and selfishly think about moving it up, but I guess that's what I get for posting later.

    Love Kudos

    Date: Apr 26 2023
    Summary

    Excellent. Best thing ever! Ive noticed other people/teams starting to use the Kudoboard after seeing some of the ones that have been put out there. Kudoboard was a great tool during covid. Was able to send farewell messages to co-workers who left during the pandemic as we were not able to get together to sign cards etc.

    Positive

    The ease in using kudo. The various options to tailor a board. The ability to distribute the board to contributors from wherever you are to where ever they are. Timing of delivery function. The ability to change up a board when needed. The joy in receiving a Kudoboard.

    Negative

    When adding a photo- whoever adds it..name is attached to that posting. Would be nice if there was the option to just add photo with no wording/message below on same posting.

    Creative, quick way to recognize!

    Date: Jun 28 2023
    Summary

    We use Kudoboard all the time for overall recognition, and it’s so nice to be able to customize for each receiver!

    Positive

    The website is so easy to use, both as the person setting up the Kudoboard and as someone contributing!

    Negative

    If I could change anything it would be to up the number of contributors for the free platform.

    Summary

    I go to this for my co workers who are remote and it's always easy breezy. For birthdays, farewells, weddings, work anniversary's, etc.

    Positive

    Very easy and fun to use! It is always nice and thoughtful. Setting up is user friendly and I love that the boards can be auto delivered.

    Negative

    I haven't came across any cons this far. I am apart of this through my organization.

    Kudoboard Review

    Date: Apr 30 2023
    Summary

    Overall, I’ve had an incredible time using Kudoboard. The ability to invite others to contribute and to finally share the templates with the intended recipient have been phenomenal.

    Positive

    I like that Kudoboard is convenient, easy to use with great multi-use templates and creative layouts for any occasion. The ability to personalize by adding pictures and gifs is also fantastic.

    Negative

    There is nothing I don’t like about Kudoboard. I’ve used similar online platforms but they haven’t been as good.

    Cards for the Cyber Workspace!

    Date: Sep 18 2023
    Summary

    Love it! Everyone is able to add their own unique touch to the cards and it can be printed into a poster if wanted!

    Positive

    Ease of set up and distribution , love that people from anywhere can contribute and it's not limited to only the people in the office.

    Negative

    Gifs selection is good but will become repetitive if more aren't added.

    Great Tool to support celebration!

    Date: Oct 13 2023
    Summary

    Overall, I appreciate the ease this tool has allowed me to celebrate my team, collecting many participants quickly and easily through the sharable links. I appreciate the option for GIF's within the comments to add extra flare to the receiver's experience!

    Positive

    I love how simple and easy it is to create a new board, to add to a board and to schedule a board to be sent to the recipient. I am able to stay organized with the boards I have created and appreciate the ability to customize each one!

    Negative

    I do wish there was a more cost effective option for an in-between pricing structure, rather than paying by the 1 or the business plan. I also wish there were some additional themes/backgrounds that were not tied to a specific type of celebration.

    Positive

    - Easy to use
    - Very convenient to co-ordinate and get responses

    Excellent program to collaborate on celebrations!

    Date: Jun 19 2023
    Summary

    This program is a fun way to recognize and celebrate team members! The gifs are a nice touch and the background designs are beautiful.

    Positive

    The ease of use, scheduled delivery, ability to add gifs and music. Easy to have others collaborate.

    Negative

    I wish you could add music to the board itself (i.e. it plays happy birthday when it opens)

    Ease of Use

    Date: Aug 10 2023
    Summary

    Super easy and simple! No reason not to send a quick kudoboard for a colleague on their birthday, work anniversary, or farewell.

    Positive

    Easy to Share.
    Simple for all users to navigate.
    Gifs available to add.
    Scheduler so you don't have to remember to do it later.

    Negative

    No ability to preschedule new kudoboard - if you could preschedule Kudoboards to create new ones for people's birthdays or work anniversaries then people would need to add well wishes.

    Wonderful resource

    Date: Nov 07 2023
    Summary

    I love having this resource to use in my role as an Educator. I have found many times where this came in handy. It's better than a hand written thank you note!

    Positive

    Easy to create. Fun. Engaging. We used this to send our condolences to a school where they lost a student due to a mass shooting in our state.

    Negative

    I wish there were a free option or a less expensive option.

    Brings a Smile!

    Date: May 02 2023
    Summary

    LOVE Kudoboard. When my team and I all went remote, as leaders we were constantly looking for ways to engage the team and say thank you or happy birthday. This did it! Kudoboard brings a smile to peoples face, small moments of recognition are SO important!

    Positive

    Love how collaborative, fun and easy it is to use! It allows each person to personalize their message!

    Negative

    I wish the free board would increase how many people can participate by just a few - but totally get it!

    Date: Jun 12 2023
    Summary

    Love it, will continue using it for sure! There is no app or website that comes close to the level of quality of Kudoboard.

    Positive

    Have been using these very often, super fun, simple, and boosts morale. I love all the different features, from being able to post pictures to gifs and everything in between.

    Negative

    Maybe more backgrounds, more variety, but overall nothing specific.

    Awesome product!

    Updated: Aug 04 2023
    Summary

    Overall, Kudoboard is a fabulous product and I don't hesitate to give it a five star review. It is easy to use, excellent quality, and a way to organize a large group of people to send lots of greetings all at once to commemorate any occasion. What I love is that it can be for small things . . . like wishing someone a wonderful day as a pick me up . . . or for big events like weddings, anniversaries, retirements, or milestone birthdays. The possibilities are endless and I absolutely love Kudoboards! I would love to see an education pricing opportunity. School budgets are truly thin already and that is why I just purchase individual Kudoboards for special occasions. I would love to do a birthday board for each staff member, however, cost for something like that would be a barrier in our school.

    Positive

    I love the simplicity of Kudoboard. It is very user friendly and I love that you can add your own photos to your greetings! Every person I have sent a Kudoboard to has responded with gratitude. It is a great way to get personal messages from a large group of people without having to organize them in the same physical space to sign or add to a greeting for a special event.

    Negative

    It is not a con vs a feature I am hoping will be added in the future. I would like to see more generic themes or the ability to change the color of a theme that I like, but is not in the recipient's favourite color scheme. I would also love a simple way to create my own theme . . . but that is not a con of this product, just my own love of design and creativity.

    Fun product for team celebrations

    Updated: Jun 22 2023
    Summary

    It is easy to add messages and send the platform to others to have them add their own messages. I like that everything is combined on one webpage and you just have to scroll to see all your messages.

    Positive

    Kudoboard is a great platform to provide delightful messages quickly and seamlessly to team members. I like the ability to add GIFs.

    Negative

    I would like additional GIFs as well as the option to customize the design of the board more (more colors/options)!

    Kudoboard is such an inclusive tool

    Date: Jan 31 2023
    Summary

    I and my team love using Kudoboard for birthdays, congrats, etc. I work at a company with 20,000 global employees and it makes it so easy for folks to contribute regardless of location or timezone. Love it.

    Positive

    Kudoboard is so convenient and such a quick, easy way to create a thoughtful group note or recognition to someone.

    Negative

    I would say more background options but only because I like to see as many options as possible. I haven't looked into if this was a feature yet but the ability to record a note would be great!

    Love Kudoboard for my Team!

    Date: Jul 05 2023
    Summary

    Ive been using this for birthday shout outs and anything special for the team. Fun and easy to use for everyone.

    Positive

    I love the ease of the Kudoboard, and inviting contributors. Love that you can link videos too! Makes someone feel uber special! I also love that you can schedule a specific date/time. That gives us ample time to set it up and have it delivered on the special day.

    Negative

    I had nothing that I didn't like. If anything, I would love some animated backgrounds to make it even more engaging. Also wish i could print it out on regular size letter paper.
