"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 Sched
My first experience with Sched was as a speaker on a conference event being organized by our foreign collaborators. As my first foreign speaking engagement, I was naturally extremely nervous, but Sched made collaborating with the organizers so easy and that I felt very much at ease and ended up delivering an exceptional session. After that experience, I recommended trying Sched for our own subsequent conference events.

Most popular feedback for LumApps
A lot of potential, still lacking some very useful features and still has sometines unpredictable (buggy) behavior. Will contiue using it hoping that gradually it will improve. Already a big convenience compared to Zoom only meetings & classes.

Sched reviews
Communication is the main problem that Sched solves. It's an at-a-glance snapshot of an entire evening that easily drills down into specifics. It invites interaction, so that's another communication problem solved/helped. I couldn't be more thrilled to have Sched working on my event's behalf. Thank you!

We used to publish our own website with conference info; it had the basic info, but it was hard to keep the pieces consistent. Now we link to the Sched site from our event page and attendees find everything there. Speakers can post their pix and handouts and complete/update their profiles and send e-mail blasts to all who signed up for their workshop. We got good reporting and from it (and Google Analytics) see a high engagement rate (not just page views; over half set up accounts and created a personal schedule). This is all from their lowest service level/tier; higher levels integrate more with registration/payment etc., but we already have an online store and used it for front-end registration.

It wasn't too difficult to get everything set up, but we needed a human to help us select the right package to purchase. It was way too difficult reaching someone and we were actually told that no one could assist us for at least another week because that department was going to a conference.

LumApps reviews
As partner, I have managed to implement the platform to roughly 5k+ users. I can safely say that they are happy about what LumApps can offer. However some bugs are still giving problem. One of them is the grid
- Nurichsan P. UX/UI Designer
It allowed us to design a Visual Identity compliant site which Google Sites didn't. It has some good features and some annoying oversights / issues.
- Timothy B. Manager, Group Processes
With LumApps we are trying to bring 60,000 people in the same place in order to reach them all with relevant messages from the group and in order to provide them with a platform where they can share best practices and learn more about what other parts of the business are working on. However, LumApps is very good for top-down messages, it's harder to allow people to share best practices or to allow them to decide what content is most relevant for them resulting in lower levels of engagement than expected.

Pros & cons
Sched
| Pros |
|---|
| Love the easiness of selecting which sessions I wanted to attend |
| It then stored it and made it super easy for me to know exactly where to go |
| My district uses Sched to schedule our entire district professional training |
| This is fabulous I love that it emails me my schedule and I can access it all day as I attend trainings |
| I also love the ability to email attendees from the platform and how they also get a daily reminder |
| It is also wonderful how we can personalize the system with our own branding and images |
| This was a perfect option for our needs this year, and now that we know more about how it can be used, it will be used more often for our future conference needs." |
| Cons |
|---|
| We have received many complaints within 24 hours of launching the service |
| The lack of Spanish interface, because we are in Peru |
| It is difficult to find your meeting sometimes |
| There are so many meetings scheduled |
| Small landing/home page with limited customization." |
LumApps
| Pros |
|---|
| Finally, the ability to create email newsletters within LumApps is AMAZING |
| I use that feature twice weekly |
| Pretty happy to have that kind of tool in a confinement moment |
| I also love the permissions features |
| Managing content is also a breeze with the permissions workflow and the timing features on content are wonderful |
| Features flexibility and their implementation was easy, very good documentation." |
| Cons |
|---|
| I am missing a manual for the Imerys version we use |
| Some of the functions are hard to find for unexperienced users (open comments below articles in groups e.g.) |
| The only thing worse than the actual product is support for the product |
| Everything is an "FR" that will take 6 months to a year to complete, or is tagged as "functioning as designed |
| Forcing us into a $30K implementation consulting firm contract that did nothing to help was like setting money on fire |
| Totally useless and disappointing |
| But the implementation consulting firm you forced us into was horrible, disappointing and they are just plain bad at their jobs." |
