I was able to spend a great chunk of time going through each and every event and marking off the ones that interested me. If there was a time discrepancy, the app let me know. It let you choose the time frame for your notifications. It kept you up to date with news alerts from the events. It had a built in map. It's the organizational tool I never thought I needed until now. ----- ### "Outstanding Aide" — 4.0/5 > **Abriah** | *December 12, 2022* | Higher Education Software | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: I really loved the convenience of having one location to place all of our event agendas, maps, surveys, advertisements, reminders, etc. so that our parents and students could find them all when needed. It helped to keep them on schedule during our New Student Orientation as well as gave them a place to find answers to the majority of the FAQ's that would have bombarded our administrative offices. It also reduced the traffic of "lost" individuals on our campus with the map feature. > > **Cons**: There were a few technical issues we had when trying to upload our agenda, however we reached out to technical support and they were efficient and extremely helpful. We were able to resolve them in no time. > > Overall Guidebook has been one of the best programs we've used. Each year we find a feature that helps to make our NSO less stressful and more impactful. ----- ### "Guidebook in Practice" — 3.0/5 > **Sasha** | *October 12, 2016* > > I am not a seasoned user, sadly. I've only used the software once, or maybe two times, but it has been at least 1 year. However, what I've found is that it works well, it just has opportunities, like all software. If there were a few more tutorials offered on use, I could tell my students to watch those for help/guidance. ----- ### "Guidebook's local storage of PDFs overcomes limitations of event wifi reliability" — 5.0/5 > **Paul** | *September 1, 2022* | Religious Institutions | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Not many event apps support local storage of documents in order to ensure reliable, simultaneous retrieval by 1000+ participants. I also appreciate the modern, easily customizable interface across mobile and web clients. > > **Cons**: Important enhancements are needed to make the integrated PDF viewer more useful: ability to go to a specific page number; and within-document search. > > We've used Guidebook successfully for national and regional events since 2016. Event managers can easily build guides on their own. Participants appreciate using the web interface prior to the event and then using the mobile apps onsite. Support team is outstanding. ----- ### "Guidebook is Awesome\!" — 5.0/5 > **Kayla** | *May 3, 2019* | Education Management | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: The ease of use\! Everything is very straight forward and even if I don't know how to do something, the support team responds in record timing. I enjoy the customization and easy drag and drop features. I also love the ability to copy content from one guide to another to save time on building. > > **Cons**: Sometimes there are small glitches that cause me to have to reload the page, but nothing crazy. Any issues that arise are totally normal (nothing is 100% perfect) and are resolved quickly. I do wish that the sponsor cards could be copied to the next guide as they are usually the same. > > Guidebook was the first time that we switched from a paper program for participants to an electronic app. It has brought our company's events into the 21st century and truly improved the experience of our event participants. Not only that, but it is a great improvement for those who have to create these guides for participants. My current supervisor had to create these paper programs and she always tells me how much she hated it\! For me, it is wonderful to build technological skills and actually have fun creating this service for our participants. ----- Page: 1 / 4\ Next: [Next page](https://www.getapp.ca/software/115535/guidebook?page=2) ## Links - [View on GetApp](https://www.getapp.ca/software/115535/guidebook) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | de-AT | | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | | es | | | es-CL | | | es-CO | | | es-MX | | | fr | | | fr-BE | | | fr-CA | | | nl | | | nl-BE | | ----- ## Structured Data
