    Really convenient for fun thank you "cards"

    Date: Oct 04 2023
    Summary

    This is a really useful and fun product. I use it every year for our staff appreciation event. Great!

    Positive

    It is really easy to get lots of people to "sign" a "thank you card" with options for adding GIFs, photos, etc. Really fun!

    Negative

    I don't always remember where to go to close the card for submissions, but that's because I only use once a year.

    Date: Feb 27 2023
    Summary

    I would recommend this product to any Supervisors. It is an easy way to make any of your employee's days. A small gesture goes a long way!

    Positive

    Kudoboard is very user friendly. I have been using it for over a year now and this is a great product to use for any of your employees; new-hire, employees leaving, events, or any holidays.

    Negative

    I do not have any Cons at this time. There are so many options to pick from for any event you are creating a Kudoboard for.

    Kudoboard is great!

    Updated: Jan 03 2023
    Summary

    Overall, I've had a 10/10 experience! My company has used Kudoboard to celebrate birthdays, anniversaries, work accomplishments, retirements, etc. Thank you so much for creating this product!

    Positive

    - Being able to invite contributors remotely and without needing to create a Kudoboard account
    - Scheduled delivery
    - Being able to edit contributors' posts as an admin (to fix grammar errors, update pics, etc.)

    Negative

    It would be great if:
    - Multiple photos could be attached to a post
    - Searching for gifs/photos was more refined, better organized (maybe with more search filters?)
    - Sometimes when searching, gifs take a while to load (but that might just be an issue with the internet connection on my end)
    - More font choices and sizes were available

    So much fun

    Date: Sep 14 2023
    Summary

    A great experience! Very useful for teams that have hybrid or remote - everyone can write a message even if they're not in the office.

    Positive

    Makes greetings for special occasions easier.
    The reminder email is helpful, especially with busy schedules.

    Negative

    More gif options.
    More inclusive background options would be great - like non-cisgender wedding and birthday backgrounds.

    The New Birthday Card

    Date: Aug 03 2023

    Kudoboard works best for us in my workplace, since so many colleagues work remotely and would struggle to sign a physical card. It's easy to use and convenient.

    Positive

    Easy to share with colleagues working remotely.
    Lots of designs to choose from.
    Able to send GIFs and pictures.
    Quick and convenient to purchase.

    Negative

    There's no physical token to give a colleague, which I do miss.

    Great for Remote/Dispersed Teams

    Date: Mar 27 2023
    Summary

    I use Kudoboard for birthdays on my work team. Overall it's a great solution for dispersed/remote teams.

    Positive

    Easy to share, collaborate, and send. Always well received by recipient. Easy for recipient to acknowledge receipt and share thanks.

    Negative

    Can be tricky to find relevant GIFs. Might want more tracking to know who has signed and who hasn't.

    Loved Kudoboard until you started charging

    Date: Nov 21 2023
    Summary

    Positive until recent changes to pay structure where miniboards are now a few. Much less likely to use Kudoboard since pay structure change.

    Positive

    Easy to use and a good variety of card designs. Like the ability to schedule cards in advance and to be alerted when recipients open them.

    Negative

    Started charging for mini boards. I have instances where there are less than 10 people signing and not happy that I now have to pay for a mini board.

    Kudoboard is game changing!

    Date: May 26 2023
    Summary

    Kudoboard has provided the perfect way to celebrate our team in our remote/hybrid workplace. Team engagement is incredibly important, especially since the onset of the pandemic. Our work team only coordinates on-site one day a month, so to be able to celebrate each other and feel recognized and part of the team while remote has been game-changing.

    Positive

    The ease of preparing a Kudoboard and the features of scheduling delivery. As the administrator, I appreciate having the capability of creating all the Kudoboards needed at the beginning of the month and scheduling their delivery date so that no matter whether I am working that day or on vacation, our staff still receive their recognition.

    Negative

    We use the free version as it was not in the budget for this year to subscribe to this platform. One con in the free version is only allowing 10 people to contribute to the Kudoboard. While we realize this is due to the different subscription levels and have adjusted based on the free version, we would love if that number increased.

    Has gifs/pictures.

    Easy for groups to use.

    These days so many people are online, and know people from all around the world. Kudoboard makes it easier for people to connect and bond by sending birthday messages, holiday cards, and more, even with the distance.

    I like how easy it is to set up a kudo, the many designs, schedule it to be sent, add a gift cards, and add images.

    Big fan of Kudoboard!

    Date: May 31 2023
    Summary

    I have used Kudoboard for several years and I enjoy the flexible, personalized message board. I have used both paid and free versions and have found both options to be fun and engaging.

    Positive

    Platform is user friendly - and use is quite intuitive. Both free and paid version are excellent options to share sentiments with others.

    Negative

    Would like customizable backgrounds, otherwise, I'm quite content with the platform.

    The go-to for work birthdays & cards

    Date: Aug 07 2023
    Summary

    I use Kudoboard about 8-10 times a year, mostly the free service. As mentioned, it is quick, easy, reliable and has great features for a quick card. The ability to schedule sending a card ahead of time as well makes it easy to never forget and also to get in nice and early on someone's special day.

    Positive

    I love using Kudoboard without our team at work. It is the perfect go to card for birthdays, thank you's & general cards. Easy to use, FREE, and most importantly quick and simple.

    Negative

    No con's that I can think of at this stage, it is so very easy to use.

    My Kudo Experience

    Date: Jun 15 2023
    Summary

    Vey Happy with the product. My team likes the ease of posting a message. We use it for all our team birthdays, retirements and promotional congrats.

    Positive

    It is easy to set up and post a message. The price is reasonable in compared to prices of greeting cards.

    Negative

    Would like the small Kudoboard to allow maybe 12 messages before having to pay the 5.99.

    For first time user maybe an unlimited amount of messages so they can get hooked.

    Great Features & Excellent Tool for Connecting

    Date: Apr 27 2022
    Summary

    My experience with this product has been excellent since the start of COVID and I would highly recommend it to any organization looking to celebrate milestones. This is far more engaging than passing a card around the office and far more discreet.

    Positive

    -The gift card feature helps raise funds even if colleagues aren't on site.
    -The board UI is super simple to navigate and I seldom ever have questions
    -Colleagues love getting to write heartfelt messages and even goof around with funny pictures

    Negative

    -Wish there were more background options
    -Gift card feature charge is reasonable but seems a little high
    -When printing the board into a book or poster, the animated pictures get a little pixelated
