## Reviews

### "Best documentation for developers" — 4.0/5

> **Verified Reviewer** | *September 1, 2022* | Financial Services Software | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: ReadMe has one of the best API reference tools I've ever used. API consumers can interact with the API from the documentation page directly without further setup. The dashboard also helps give insights into how the API is used.
> 
> **Cons**: Not fully supporting OpenAPI 3.0, we have to write some script to workaround the issue.

### "Readme un outil de partage de documentation facile d'utilisation et intuitif" — 5.0/5

> **bastien** | *May 21, 2023* | Computer Software | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Le produit est simple à utiliser et prendre en main. la gestion des versions permet de stocké vos anciennes version. Cela fait maintenant plus de 2 ans que nous utilisons Readme en starter et il répond au besoin de notre entreprise.
> 
> **Cons**: Dans les 1er offres, il manque certaines fonctionnalités sympa comme l'export en PDF. La traduction de la doc n'est pas possible il faut passer par un autre outil...
> 
> Avant readme, nous avions nos documentation produit sur des words que nous mettions en pdf pour partager à nos clients. Aujourd'hui l'ensemble des docs est publier en ligne simple de lecture. Nos clients peuvent faire des sugestions quand la doc n'est pas claire et il y a aussi un forum...

### "Extremely Basic Software" — 3.0/5

> **Yossi** | *March 14, 2022* | Information Services | Recommendation rating: 2.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: The Suggest Edits feature is really good. Users can send suggested edits which you can merge directly into the documentation.
> 
> **Cons**: Very basic features, no image library, buggy search, proprietary Markdown (tables, images, code blocks, etc.), very basic branding, almost unusable on mobile, PDF feature doesn't work, very limited account types (either Admin or Reader, but nothing in between), etc.
> 
> It's fine if you only want a very basic doc site. If you want anything more, this is not for you. Support is also very laggy.

### "Great software an amazing team" — 5.0/5

> **Nic** | *May 13, 2022* | Computer Software | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Documentating APIs, both for OpenAPI specs and custom ones,  was really easy to do. The CMS system is simple and easy to use, and never had an issue with loosing work. Fast and responsing.
> 
> **Cons**: I wish they had a dark mode (apparently it is coming soon) and more preset themes, however they do allow for custom CSS.
> 
> We ran into an issue and the team was extremely responsive, including the 
\[SENSITIVE CONTENT\] himself. Very impressed.
