# AnnounceKit Reviews **Vendor:** AnnounceKit **Category:** [Release Notes Management Software](https://www.g2.com/categories/release-notes-management) **Average Rating:** 4.8/5.0 **Total Reviews:** 56 ## About AnnounceKit AnnounceKit is an all-in-one changelog & release notes tool with several features like eye-catching in-app notification widgets, email notifications, and feature requests. The commonly observed problem is the lack of communication with the end-users about product updates and improvements. So, AnnounceKit enables you to communicate product updates, increase feature adoption, improve user satisfaction, and grow revenue faster. ## AnnounceKit Reviews ### 1. AnnounceKit is everything you need **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Allison B. | Director of Operations, Security and Investigations, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** September 26, 2023 **What do you like best about AnnounceKit?** AnnounceKit allows me to manage all my product announcements from one spot and shoot them out across different channels. Users can just drop an emoji or a comment, and I know exactly how they feel about the updates. 🚀 I also like all the customization options. I can tweak the look of the widgets and newsfeeds to match my brand's vibe. The integrations are pretty slick too – it plays nice with Slack, Teams, Intercom, and even Twitter. **What do you dislike about AnnounceKit?** I often forget all the other functionality the tool has. While I use it extensively for our changelog - there are also public roadmaps, public feature requests, NPS, etc. **What problems is AnnounceKit solving and how is that benefiting you?** It's all about bridging that communication gap. Before, getting the word out about product updates or news was a real headache. With AnnounceKit, it's all in one place, making life a whole lot easier. And talk about engagement – it's got tools to make sure users are not just hearing about updates but actually using them. Feedback? That's sorted too. Instead of chasing down comments here and there, everything's organized. Plus, for businesses reaching out globally, multilingual support is a lifesaver. And I've got to mention the customization – it's cool to have announcements that vibe with the brand. ### 2.

Amazing tool! **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Computer Software | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** January 02, 2023 **What do you like best about AnnounceKit?** AnnounceKit has been instrumental in helping us build a strong connection with our users by quickly allowing us to notify them every time we release new product features & improvements. Its Monthly Digest email feature is also a tremendous time saver. It automatically emails our users once a month, summarising what new features/improvements we shipped that month. **What do you dislike about AnnounceKit?** It would be great to have the ability to add the user's first name as a variable in the Monthly Digest email. I have raised this with the AnnounceKit team, and they plan to add this feature soon! :) **What problems is AnnounceKit solving and how is that benefiting you?** Keeping our users up-to-date with the latest product improvements. It's helping us build a strong connection with our users and improve our brand. ### 7. Great experience with AnnounceKit **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Marc L. | CTO, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** June 02, 2022 **What do you like best about AnnounceKit?** AnnounceKit has a really nice UX, it makes it very easy to create a new announce. I also like their analytics dashboard giving us a way to what our customers read and like. **What do you dislike about AnnounceKit?** There is nothing I really dislike in AnnounceKit, the product is good and new features are often released :-) **What problems is AnnounceKit solving and how is that benefiting you?** Before AnnounceKit we here using our homemade annoucement system. It was time-consuming to maintain this system, hard to have a good UI/UX for our users and we had very few features compared to AnnounceKit. Now that we are using AnnounceKit, the product team can add new announcements without needing the help of the dev team. Dev team is now completely free of our old homemade system and can focus on our business features. ### 8. Easy to adopt; complete package for our needs **Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Tony F. | VP of Customer Success, Computer Software, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** July 19, 2022 **What do you like best about AnnounceKit?** AnnounceKit has all the tools we needed to establish a professional-looking Release Notes feed for our SaaS business. Their support team is engaged, effective, and actively listening for important enhancements or issues from their customers. **What do you dislike about AnnounceKit?** The only challenge we're currently experiencing with AnnounceKit is getting customers to subscribe. This would be helpful for transitioning new accounts from a previous distribution system to AK, or encouraging more subscriptions from users who aren't paying attention to the subscribe button in the UI. **What problems is AnnounceKit solving and how is that benefiting you?** AnnounceKit, as we have it implemented today, encourages greater feature and release awareness and adoption from our customers. We also plan to implement the in-app components which reduces friction and greatly increases our reach to all administrative users of our platform. ### 9.

The product UI is easy to comprehend and easy to customize. The support team is responsive and provides prompt responses to help you succeed. **What do you dislike about AnnounceKit?** If something is not clearly explained in the documentation, you typically have to confirm your understanding/its meaning with support. These incidents occur sparingly and support is always responsive to enable you to proceed. **Recommendations to others considering AnnounceKit:** Reach out to support and declare your interest in doing a POC with the tool, they will help you get setup as you figure out if the tool is right for you. Let the announcekit team handle the infrastructure , just worry about the content and the material you need to update for your users. **What problems is AnnounceKit solving and how is that benefiting you?** We are using announcekit to offload a changelog infrastructure to a service. We have realized the benefits of not having to support or maintain the infrastructure while still having the ability to distribute and communicate effectively around our updates and our product changes. ### 10.

A great way to inform our users about fixes and features that otherwise would have been ignored in an email announcement. **What do you dislike about AnnounceKit?** They have lots of features on the development roadmap, such as a preview function, mobile app integration, and more customizable widgets. I can't wait for more improvements. **Recommendations to others considering AnnounceKit:** A vastly improved way to inform your users and collect their feedback. **What problems is AnnounceKit solving and how is that benefiting you?** We're trying to provide feature announcements that are more effective than email. Also, we hope to gather as much information as possible, so we need to make feedback as easy and accessible as possible. ### 13.

Great tool to post product updates **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Luisa D. | Product Marketing Manager, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** May 05, 2022 **What do you like best about AnnounceKit?** It's easy to use, they're constantly adding new features to improve the user experience. Also, their support team is always ready to help when you need guidance. **What do you dislike about AnnounceKit?** Nothing negative about my experience with this company so far.

The possibility to segment and analyze the impact of our posts is a great advantage. ### 16. Simple Yet Powerful and Saves Me Hours **Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Alan F. | VP Marketing & Customer Success, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** October 04, 2021 **What do you like best about AnnounceKit?** I used to piece together multiple systems (blogs, email newsletter, etc.) to send our release notes. Annoucekit makes it easy for the entire product team to jump in, add release notes and get the updates out to customers quickly and efficiently. It's easy to use and saves a ton of time. **What do you dislike about AnnounceKit?** While the primary use case is in-app updates, I wish there was more functionality around email updates. The email digest is fantastic and effortless (auto-send a monthly update with all updates from the past 30 days), but I wish the end-users could decide if they wanted to receive update via email or receive the digest. Also, it would be great if customers could subscribe to specific categories rather than everything. **What problems is AnnounceKit solving and how is that benefiting you?** Release notes used to be a pain to organize and send out. As the team grew, it was hard to get more people involved to write their own release notes. Annoucekit has made it easy to get more people contributing and has made it much easier and faster to get the notes out the door. ### 17. AnnounceKit Improved our NPS **Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Jason Z. | Head of Product, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** September 28, 2021 **What do you like best about AnnounceKit?** I like that we were able to launch announcekit from our own icon within our app. It helped keep our design system consistent. Additionally, it was perhaps the least expensive and easiest implementation I've ever done and it has had the highest effort:impact ratio on NPS than anything else we've ever done. Since implementing it our average NPS has gone from 19 to 36. Every time we post, we see a spike in our NPS responses and promotor reviews. Couldn't be more pleased. **What do you dislike about AnnounceKit?** Honestly, I haven't found anything that I dislike yet. **Recommendations to others considering AnnounceKit:** If you're looking for an easy way to boost your NPS, use them. **What problems is AnnounceKit solving and how is that benefiting you?** We were looking for a way to boost our NPS and we found that whenever we sent out a Recently Released Product Update email to our customers, there was a jump in NPS, so we thought what if we could just do this in the app? That's when we found AnnounceKit and it has exceeded our expectations. ### 18. Switched to AnnounceKit 2 years ago and never looked back! **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Marc G. | Product Manager, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** September 21, 2021 **What do you like best about AnnounceKit?** Right out the box Announcekit looks great! It's easy to set up and the UI is clean and easy to use. The team are constantly bringing out really great updates to make announcements stand out to your customers. The post editor has all the tools you'd expect such as inline images, video and URLs. One of the coolest features is user engagement tracking. You can see which updates make users happy, sad or indifferent. We regularly use the subscriber email feature that sends specific posts direct to their inbox. This helps make important feature announcments more visible. **What do you dislike about AnnounceKit?** There isn't much to dislike with announcekit! Their current list of integrations are with Slack, Intercom and Zapier. It would be great to see them integrate with other parts of our product team techstack as well such as ProductBoard, Segment and Jira **What problems is AnnounceKit solving and how is that benefiting you?** Keeping customers up to date with the latest features and providing them links to any other necessary documentation they may need related to the change. We also use it to keep our internal teams up to date to let them know when a new feature has been deployed. ### 19. Great Product **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Real Estate | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** April 15, 2022 **What do you like best about AnnounceKit?** Allows us to target exactly the people we need to and no more. Very customizable and we really like the different ways you can choose to highlight your announcement that can match its importance. Great support and communication as well. **What do you dislike about AnnounceKit?** Would like to be able to subscribe users directly, either via the API or the admin console. **What problems is AnnounceKit solving and how is that benefiting you?** Users have a very limited attention span and get lots of emails. This lets us target specific user types to guarantee each announcement is useful to everyone and they can have confidence an update is worth reading. Getting updates out of their inbox and into the app via a widget also lets users read announcements when they're in the mindset of using our app. ### 20. Easy to use and powerful tool **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Tobias H. | Co-founder & CMO, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** December 16, 2021 **What do you like best about AnnounceKit?** The tool is very intuitive and does exactly what it is supposed to. All features are well thought out and make sense. The support is excellent and feature requests are quickly considered. **What do you dislike about AnnounceKit?** I haven't found anything that I dislike. **Recommendations to others considering AnnounceKit:** Just give it a try. It is so intuitive that you can very quickly check for yourself if it meets all the requirements. **What problems is AnnounceKit solving and how is that benefiting you?** We use Announcekit mainly as a microblog to inform our core users about all product improvements, new features, and fixed bugs. The email feature and integrations look very useful but we don't currently use them. ### 21. Great Customer Service **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Pavan V. | Software Engineer **Reviewed Date:** July 20, 2022 **What do you like best about AnnounceKit?** Great customer service, Good functionalities **What do you dislike about AnnounceKit?** would have appreciated faster delivery of features **What problems is AnnounceKit solving and how is that benefiting you?** solved the problem of creating posts for product announcements ### 22. Great tool for "What's New" section **Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Tetiana B. | Business Development Manager, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** December 14, 2021 **What do you like best about AnnounceKit?** Different tags for news category. Email updates Pop-ups Multilanguage As well they've updated the tools to use and it became so much easier to convert text into a beautiful news piece. **What do you dislike about AnnounceKit?** The pop-up didn't work with our website in a good way, so we didn't use it much **What problems is AnnounceKit solving and how is that benefiting you?** We use AnnounceKit to update our users with new features and improvements on our side within"What's new" section and email. As we have a multilanguage audience, it's great we can choose the languages for your announces. ### 23. Easy To Use Newsfeed Experience **Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Non-Profit Organization Management | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** August 13, 2020 **What do you like best about AnnounceKit?** Our team appreciates the simple and clean layout for delivering information — it's ideal for a headline, a few paragraphs of body text and an image, and that's it. You can also "pin" articles at the top, so they don't get lost on the feed. **What do you dislike about AnnounceKit?** You can't schedule posts out, which means an extra step in the day to post the article. As it's functioning now, we have posts written on another platform, then they are inserted and formatted into AnnounceKit. **Recommendations to others considering AnnounceKit:** If you're looking for a simple way to post updates or articles, I'd highly recommend this product. It's easy to use, looks beautiful, and gives you what you're looking for. **What problems is AnnounceKit solving and how is that benefiting you?** We began using this platform to curate different informative articles as a sidebar on our main website (where we are getting the most traffic). It's kept our audience informed on updates and decisions in an industry that's changing rapidly. ### 24. Great solution to manage product updates **Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Frederik B. | Co-founder, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** September 17, 2021 **What do you like best about AnnounceKit?** We were looking for software that helps us model the processes around publishing product updates, and Announcekit does precisely that. It saves us a lot of time, as we have been building these processes ourselves before. Their support is great, and they are very willing to improve the product based on our needs! **What do you dislike about AnnounceKit?** Some required functionality was lacking when we started. But Announcekit's development team is very proactive, and they could already solve some of our requests. **What problems is AnnounceKit solving and how is that benefiting you?** Our goal is to keep our existing customers and potential new customers up to date about changes to our product. Announcekit helps us by being the central hub for product updates and taking care of the communication towards our customers, e.g., by email and in-app. ### 25. Great tool that saved us a ton of time. Our customers really like it! **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Aurelio V. | CEO, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** March 07, 2022 **What do you like best about AnnounceKit?** How easy it is to implement with the widget and how enthusiastic our customers are about this. It's an amazing way to get feedbacks and reviews. **What do you dislike about AnnounceKit?** I've been using the product for 3 weeks and nothing so far. **What problems is AnnounceKit solving and how is that benefiting you?** Communication with customers: AnnounceKit is such an efficient way to get feedback and interact with your users. It's so useful when you are in an early stage of your product development. ### 26. Such a cool design and so easy to use! Love Announcekit **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Jen K. | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** June 22, 2020 **What do you like best about AnnounceKit?** The design is so sleek and minimalistic. I had the idea in mind to have a "news-feed" -esque section of our website, but was having a hard time finding a plugin that was designed well enough to fit in seemlessly with our site's design. Announcekit was going to cost us a bit more than other options out there, but we decided it was well worth it. We're really happy with how it looks and this product was definitely my top choice after looking around for similar ones. I've also contacted their customer service a couple of times, just with setting things up and they were really responsive (like chatting with me within a few minutes each time) and helpful. I'm a bit of a novice with backend work, but it is all really user-friendly and easy to setup. If you have questions like I did they're really quick to respond and get things figured out. **What do you dislike about AnnounceKit?** I wish I could take the logo off the widget, but it is offered if you get the top tiered plan. **What problems is AnnounceKit solving and how is that benefiting you?** I had a couple questions when initially setting up the widget on our website, but their customer service is so good and helped me realize what I needed to do to get it running. ### 27. AnnounceKit has improved Waitwhile's product updates communication dramatically 🚀 **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Christoffer K. | CEO, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** September 17, 2021 **What do you like best about AnnounceKit?** AnnounceKit solves a few very specific needs for Waitwhile in relation to how we share our product updates and momentum: - Having a public changelog for product releases and company news - Mailing customers about new changes - Bringing our product update to the fore when they go live AnnounceKit has a clean interface, and the team is responsive and regularly improves the product. **What do you dislike about AnnounceKit?** Unable to send emails from an @waitwhile.com email domain. Otherwise **What problems is AnnounceKit solving and how is that benefiting you?** Our customers didn’t have a sense of the momentum and that the product got better every single day. They were also surprised (in a bad way) by the many changes we were making that we had not informed them about. ### 28. Best Option for Customer Announcements! **Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Arif . | Business Development Manager, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** October 12, 2021 **What do you like best about AnnounceKit?** We have been using the AnnounceKit system actively for about 1.5 years. Very useful for sending posts like announcements, campaigns. It can also be used to direct and activate users who come to the website. We love that it's simple and easy to use. **What do you dislike about AnnounceKit?** There is nothing that I dislike. Currently available and manageable. **Recommendations to others considering AnnounceKit:** It is simple and easy to use. It will make your job easier on your website. **What problems is AnnounceKit solving and how is that benefiting you?** AnnonceKit is now active on our website. We make campaign announcements to our users. We make prominent features visible. It makes it very easy to lead generate. ### 29. Nice tool for changelogs **Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Aashish R. | Associate Product Manager ( Operations ), Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** April 22, 2022 **What do you like best about AnnounceKit?** Simple way to push out changelogs. It still needs more features but would recommend a start to your changelog management. **What do you dislike about AnnounceKit?** Need to think more from user engagement and SEO angle. **What problems is AnnounceKit solving and how is that benefiting you?** engaging my users on new features ### 30. Making Our Product Update / Feature Enhancements Announcements a breeze! **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Jennifer M. | Product Marketing Manager, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** June 15, 2021 **What do you like best about AnnounceKit?** I love the UI, how intuitive it is to post, analyze and communicate our product's features. Whenever you create a new post, you have all the options at your fingertips: adding an image, multiple images, font, formatting, etc. The UI is super clean and there is lots of customization in how you want to label your announcements. The support is also stellar. Whenever I have a question in the chat, they're super quick to respond. If you're looking for a user friendly tool to update the world or just your subset of customers on your awesome product, I recommend AnnounceKit. Great experience and great support! **What do you dislike about AnnounceKit?** I think they could improve their analytics feature a bit more. They do have some excellent options for filtering how you want to get your user engagement with your announcements, but I think their dashboard for analytics could use a little more meat. Other than that, they do offer you the CSV download, so you can import it into your own reporting tool if needed or do your own analysis. **What problems is AnnounceKit solving and how is that benefiting you?** Getting the word on our awesome product updates and enhancements, new features to the masses! We also use the link to our page updates in our social media to boost views! ### 31. A great-looking, easy-to-use tool for updating customers **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Ady H. | Head of Customer Success, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** December 21, 2021 **What do you like best about AnnounceKit?** Looks professional, easy to use, bright and colourful, allows adding videos/GIFs/emojis. **What do you dislike about AnnounceKit?** I can't integrate it easily with things like Freshdesk - there is an integration available via Zapier, but it's limited. I want to be able to auto-post to my Freshdesk forum whenever I've added a release note to Announcekit. Just to stress that I can currently do this with Zapier - it's just a little fiddly. **What problems is AnnounceKit solving and how is that benefiting you?** I now have a reliable and really good-looking way to inform my customers whenever we update/improve something. It was added to every customer site pretty easily. ### 32. Great communication tool **Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Christian C. | CTO, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** September 15, 2021 **What do you like best about AnnounceKit?** We like the simplicity of use of Announcekit. It's really easy to setup technically on the client-side and their content creating interfaces are simple to use as well. Overall it lets us communicate easily with our users when we have important announcements to make. **What do you dislike about AnnounceKit?** The user tracking feature should be included in the first paying tier, because it really is bad UX to push the same message twice to the same people. Of course, the feature exists, but paying twice the price just for it is a bit steep. **What problems is AnnounceKit solving and how is that benefiting you?** Communicate easily with our clients inside our tools. ### 33. Nice product functionalities & new features released very often **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Building Materials | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** June 07, 2022 **What do you like best about AnnounceKit?** I really liked the simplicity of integration and all the features related to product backlog announcement **What do you dislike about AnnounceKit?** Nothing to mention, everything is awesome in this product! **What problems is AnnounceKit solving and how is that benefiting you?** We like it especially for the product backlog announcements ### 34.

AnnounceKit is perfect to announce product updates easily **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Mike D. | COO, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** November 10, 2020 **What do you like best about AnnounceKit?** The UI is neat and widget integration is simple. It was easy to set up in our app. It had all the features we were looking for, even some out-of-the-box features, such as post scheduling, multi-lingual support, GIF support, images, and more. It was also crucial for us that our product update tool has an audience segmentation feature, because, at Waydev, our users are very different personas that require in-depth segmentation, which AnnounceKit has. **What do you dislike about AnnounceKit?** I don't dislike anything in particular, AnnounceKit does the job for us. **What problems is AnnounceKit solving and how is that benefiting you?** We opted for AnnounceKit in March 2020 and have continuously maintained a changelog over the website around every new feature ever since. The changelog has helped us bring more clarity to our website visitors, and we can educate our users about everything new at Waydev. For new visitors, potential leads, they get a collective page where they get to search and check if we have the right features that they need. AnnounceKit offers a comment feed with emojis, and we were able to analyze interactions through that over the AnnounceKit dashboard, which has been great for us. We get notified every time a user engages with our changelog, using the Slack integration. It seems like they are always working over new ways to enhance the capabilities of the platform. They helped us get closer to our customers and we’re able to provide a more robust and agile-driven platform to them. ### 42. Great product.
