    Positive

    Love the ease of sharing the board with other members of the team. The use of GIFs is so fun as well!

    Date: Aug 04 2022
    Summary

    We heavily use this for our corp comms celebrations. Great product. I wish the GIFs were more current, and there were more modern background choices. Easy to collaborate with others on.

    Positive

    Easy to use, easy to send to others, and fun for celebrations like birthdays, babies, and anniversaries.

    Negative

    The GIFs are a bit dated and I never see new ones. Price is a bit high for what it is.

    Great Idea! Thoughtful and Sweet

    Date: Jun 14 2022
    Summary

    Overall great product! Super easy and a great idea to help keep the culture alive with WFH. 10/10 would recommend.

    Positive

    I love that this takes very little effort from everyone to write something quick but means a lot to the person receiving. Love that you can add gifs as well and change the background to make it more fun.

    Negative

    Would love more background options! Also would be great if others from outside the Org could add to it (so anyone with the link).

    Easy, accessible and innovative

    Date: Apr 14 2022
    Summary

    I have used Kudoboard for some time now, during the pandemic is has been a go to some for all occasions in groups.

    Positive

    People can easily access the board and it can reach people through just a share of a link. The idea that multiple people can contribute to a card makes things easier when working from home.

    Negative

    More board options would make it more appealing. Like card style options.

    Great Product!

    Date: Aug 23 2022
    Summary

    Prior to joining my current team, I had never heard of Kudoboard, but since joining the team and receiving two Kudoboard's myself, I am loving it! The idea is so cool, it's very inexpensive for an annual membership, and the sense of teamwork is fantastic! Our team uses it on a very regular basis, and it is super great. Thank you for making such a great product!

    Positive

    This review was provided in exchange for a $5 Amazon gift card by the provider of this product.

    Kudoboard allows my team to feel much more included and involved in each other's work. Since we are all working remotely, this level of inclusion and involvement is huge in keeping our team engaged. The variety of gifs available also mixes up the way we are able to give each other shout outs, which is super fun!

    Negative

    We have a blind member on our team, and his screen reader doesn't work with Kudoboard. However, Kudoboard's support team is working with him to see what can be done so he can be included in the fun, too! Everything else is super great!

    Positive

    Super easy to navigate and great for all occasions. I love the designs and that you can add Gifs :)

    Negative

    It would be nice if maybe the mini board could be 15 max as sometimes i have maybe 11 or 12 to add to a card.

    Kudos to Kudoboard

    Date: Jul 18 2022
    Summary

    I have done only five Kudoboards. None of the people had ever used it. It's a fun creative way to say Happy Birthday and to see how others interpret their greeting.

    Positive

    Love that it is a way to remind/encourage family to say Happy Birthday or Good luck! It's fun to see everyone else's boards. It seems more personal/fun than sending someone an email to wish a happy birthday.

    Negative

    None that I can think of so far. :) Am a fairly new user, haven't had a negative experience.

    Great for quick work celebrations

    Date: Nov 07 2022
    Summary

    Very useful for the work setting. Just need to send an email with the link asking people to sign and then it automatically gets sent to the recipient.

    Positive

    My team uses Kudoboard for all of our team members birthdays and celebrations. It's so quick and easy!

    Negative

    You have to pay for over 10 signatures which is usually needed at work.

    Great tool for recognition and other events in the workplace

    Date: Dec 16 2022
    Summary

    Highly recommend this product. I am ale to create reminders for upcoming events and setting up a board is very easy. We use this for work anniversaries, birthdays, kudos and even work contents and love it.

    Positive

    Boards can be automated to get delivered at a certain date/time.
    Inviting contributors is easy.
    Automatic reminders 24 hrs before the due date.
    Notification is made once recipient opens the board .
    Variety of items can be used from GIFs, to photos to home made video.
    Reminders can be set for qualifying events (birthday, anniversary remainders for certain individuals.)

    Negative

    I had to think really hard on this one. One feature I wish would be available is auto fill for email addresses I have used in the past for contributors. I create a good numbers of boards and have to manually input all addresses and it gets tedious.

    Appreciation of Kudoboards

    Date: Sep 29 2022
    Summary

    I truly enjoyed creating a card using Kudoboard. It has created a different culture now that people are working in a hybrid setting.

    Positive

    It allows people in different locations to share their well wishes in a card. It is convenient. While working remotely it provides a sense of connectedness.

    Negative

    I wish there were a few more background options when selecting a card theme.

    Digitized Grassroot movement

    Date: Jul 25 2022
    Summary

    Not sure that milestones will ever be the same without Kudoboards. Excellent resource for leaders and event coordinators.

    Positive

    Bring everyone along... all you need is an email address. Build the momentum, raise awareness, and celebrate others. Easy to set up. There's a template for everyone and all occasions! The GIFs rock.

    Great for group cards

    Date: Jun 20 2022
    Summary

    Very easy to set up and get a link to send out. This is my go to for office cards. People who work remotely can easily sign so no need to pass a card around and track people down.

    Positive

    I always upgrade so that the recipient can keep it forever. The cost is low and the ability to add videos, gifs, or pics makes it fun.

    Negative

    There is nothing I do not like. Could maybe be more choices for gifs.

    Kudoboard is so fun!

    Date: Nov 16 2022
    Summary

    Overall a great experience. It's been fun for the office to use and also to receive their Kudoboards. I think the team now looks forward to receiving their customized Birthday Kudoboard.

    Positive

    Kudoboard is an easy way for a team to celebrate their colleagues.
    Easy to use and customize. Maybe Kudoboard can have a feature that sends reminders out to participants who plan to sign.

    Negative

    Maybe there can be a feature to drop images (for custom backgrounds), WITH functions to stretch/crop images/add multiple images for the background.
