    Easy way to celebrate work events

    Date: Feb 24 2023
    Summary

    My colleagues and I frequently use Kudoboard for birthdays and other celebrations. The instruction video makes it easy to create, schedule and deliver a Kudoboard. And it gives "signers" the ability to search for fun GIFs and photos suiting the occasion and receiver to go with their messages. I don't mind paying the 5.99 to include more than 10 people because that's about what I might pay to go out and buy a card. And no more passing around printed cards and trying to keep track of who in the office is holding the card and who hasn't signed yet!

    Positive

    Ease of use, ability to search for GIFs and photos to go with your message, ability to schedule delivery for a certain day and time.

    Negative

    I need to sort of re-teach myself each time I create one and remember/experiment with things like where on the screen do I click to start scheduling and such.

    Positive

    It is so nice to be able to start multiple Kudoboards at once and schedule delivery! Takes a lot of stress off of having to remember to send on time. Also fun to be able to add GIFs.

    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

    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

    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.

    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

    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.

    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.
