"Speechify is absolutely brilliant. Growing up with dyslexia this would have made a big difference. I’m so glad to have it today."
Sir Richard BransonMost popular feedback for Localist
Our previous website calendar system consisted of our staff manually entering events when the public would email them to us. Even with copy/pasting each field, it would take up some time to process a lot of requests. Now, we can approve or deny events with the click of a button and the public takes the time to format the events themselves. This also allows for required fields so we don't receive events with missing information.

Where do I even begin? I have multiple emails, multiple Slack channels, a Skype account, online accounting, linkedin, dropbox, calendar, google drive... and so many more ALL in one place in an easily clickable app workspace. I don't have to have all of these apps open at the same time, and I get desktop notifications for each one in real time!

About Station
Station helps you find key information scattered across hundreds of apps thanks to a unified search nested in your browser. Whenever you need to access or share any document, task, and information, Station instantly resurfaces the most relevant results intelligently as you go about your work. No more switching through apps, tabs, or asking your co-workers. Station makes information actionable with Power-ups: check your team's latest edits and comments in Google Drive or join your next call instantly without opening your Calendar. You can customize Station to your workflow with tons of other views like pins, frequently visited pages, and more. We're currently working on collaborative features to help teams automatically organize all the knowledge they share across cloud services (like Google Drive), knowledge bases (Notion or Airtable), task managers, and more. Request access to our Beta and be among the first to test it.
Localist reviews
We looked at many different event software solutions before deciding on Localist. It's a great product, and the customer service is unparalleled.
- Nicky E. Associate Director of Digital Media
I'm very familiar with Localist after having used it for a few years so I'm reluctant to change to a different email merge system but I do find it to be user-friendly and easy to introduce people to.
- Raymond R. Web Designer
In our particular application, there just isn't very much traffic. The idea of a dedicated event calendar can feel like too much when everyone already uses their own CRM or email lists to communicate about events. More flexible integrations would be a nice feature, like if Localist could pull in events automatically from third-party CRMs. Customizeable reminder messages and follow-up messaging would also add value.

Station reviews
What I like the most about station is that you can have all those apps that you use daily for productivity, monitoring, communication or simply have everything organized and even click away between one app and another
- Juan D.
The best thing about Station is the fact I can have all my favorite applications all in one place, it makes my life a heck of a lot easier and I can now operate more efficiently and be more constructive
- Ewan J.
Compared to the competitors starting to spring up, Station has the smoothest UI. I only have two apps open on my machine now; Chrome in order to google to the occasional thing and watch YouTube, and then Station to do EVERYTHING else I need to throughout my day.

Pros & cons
Localist
| Pros |
|---|
| The solution is very flexible to our needs and the branding capabilities are impressive |
| The ease of use and empowerment of users to submit events |
| Localist is very easy to setup and administer and is a very powerful calendar platform to help manage and promote our many events on campus |
| Administrators love the ease of setup, reporting and the configuration flexibility." |
| Cons |
|---|
| The webinar on Channels was so confusing that it took me months to figure out what they were talking about |
| Again, lots of learn-by-doing |
| We also found an issue with users being able to create their own avatar, in some cases the avatar could be offensive and there is no way to easily "report" that to the calendar admins |
| Support has been generally terrible |
| Anything outside of the basic functionality is simply not supported and they have been unwilling to implement ANY requests that we've made |
| On several occasions the answers provided by support have been blatantly wrong and only through our own channels have we been able to fix problems that the vendor created." |

| Easy to use |
| Save time. |
