CrankWheel Reviews & Product Details

I use CrankWheel for my insurance clients, and it helps me get them into a more trusting frame of mind. It's easy for the client to use, and me as well. CrankWheel allows screen sharing, letting clients see exactly what's going on, which helps move past any distrust and lets me close more deals and make more money, quite honestly. I think the setup is pretty simple and pretty easy. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Sometimes for me, it's a little bit confusing to start it, but after I did it a few times, I got past that. It was just more of a short learning curve for me. And, honestly, sometimes I'd forget. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I use CrankWheel mainly for quick, no stress screen sharing with prospects and clients. I love that there's no need for downloads or complicated setups. I just send a link, and they instantly see my screen right in their browser. It solves the back-and-forth stress when explaining things to clients—no more screenshots or long explanations, just live demonstration with ease. What I like most is how simple and fast it is; it works just by sharing a link. I also appreciate how reliable it is with no glitches; it just works when I need it. The speed and reliability make it valuable because I don’t have to overthink anything—I just send the link and start. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Sometimes the experience can depend on the other person's internet, so if their connection is bad, it affects the flow a bit. I'd like a bit more flexibility with control or features during sessions, like being able to switch between screens or tabs more smoothly without it feeling clunky. I'd like the switching to feel more instant and seamless, with no flickers. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I find CrankWheel very easy to use and quick, which is important for my life insurance sales as I share my screen with clients. Everything loads within seconds once I send a link and have them see my screen, making the process very effective. This ease of use helps build trust between me and the client, which is crucial when dealing with personal sensitive information. It's also valuable because this is the only tool I use for screen sharing; it's especially useful for my older clients who can easily pull up a link through their text. Additionally, I was impressed by the ease of initial setup with no setup fee—just a quick process including an email verification that took a couple of minutes. CrankWheel is very easy to use and rarely has technical issues, which I value a lot given that it's a free tool. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Sometimes it's a little confusing for the client to go back into the link once they exit it. So every now and then, I'll need them to go into other apps on their phone to finish their application. Once they try to go back and see my screen, it's a little hard to get back in because they have to provide me a code. So sometimes I just end up sending them a second link.

As a life insurance broker, efficiency and clarity on calls matter. CrankWheel allows me to instantly share my screen with clients without technical delays or confusion. That alone has improved my close rate because prospects can actually see what I’m explaining. It’s simple, fast, and does exactly what it needs to do without overcomplicating anything.

There’s not much to dislike. If I had to name one thing, I’d say it occasionally takes a few seconds to load when switching between tabs or sharing a new screen, but it’s a small tradeoff for how smoothly everything else works. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like CrankWheel for its fast and frictionless experience. I appreciate not needing to schedule meetings or send complicated links. I also like that I don't have to ask clients to download anything—just one link and I'm instantly sharing my screen. The initial setup doesn’t feel like a setup in the traditional sense; it’s more like just getting started. I find everything intuitive from the beginning. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

One thing I noticed is that it’s not a full all-in-one communication tool. It works perfectly for screen sharing but lacks built-in audio or deeper conferencing features, so you still have to rely on phone calls or another app alongside it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It's fast and easy to go from talking on a call to almost immediately showing your screen to your client, without them having to download an app first. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

i would like to be able to use this to schedule meetings in my CRM, GoHighLevel, automatically through an integration , like it does with Zoom. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

CrankWheel is one of the easiest screen sharing tools I’ve used. What really stands out is that the person you’re sharing your screen with doesn’t have to download anything. You just send them a link, they click it, and you’re connected almost instantly. It works on both PC and Mac, which makes it even more convenient.

One thing I’ve found helpful is grabbing a simple domain (I used GoDaddy, it’s under $15 a year) and forwarding it to my CrankWheel link. That way, when I’m on the phone with someone, I can just give them an easy web address to type in instead of having to send a long link.

I’d recommend this to anyone who needs to show something visually, whether it’s explaining a product, walking a prospect through something, or helping a customer with support. A lot of people don’t realize how much easier conversations become when you can just share your screen instead of trying to explain everything verbally.

It’s also really simple to use day-to-day. It runs as a Chrome extension, so it’s always right there when you need it. Setup is quick, and it fits easily into your workflow.

Another nice feature is that your meetings are recorded and kept for up to 6 months, which makes it easy to go back and review or reference past sessions if needed.

On top of that, their support has been great. They’re proactive and make sure you’re getting the most out of the tool, which is something you don’t always see.

Overall, it’s a simple, reliable solution that just works. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There’s honestly not a lot to dislike. If anything, because it’s designed to be so simple, it doesn’t have all the extra bells and whistles you might find in more advanced screen sharing platforms. For most situations that’s actually a plus, but someone looking for a lot of customization or advanced features might feel it’s a bit limited.

Other than that, it does exactly what it’s meant to do, and it does it really well. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I use CrankWheel to connect with my customers and show them the products available for them. It is easy to use; I can just email or text my clients, and that's it. They can see what I have on my phone or laptop without needing to call or download another app. It's easy and faster, which I really appreciate. What I also like is that you can use it for free as well. The way that you connect with the client is awesome. The initial setup was really easy for me, and I would absolutely recommend it to others, giving it a solid 10. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I do like how simple CrankWheel is. It's not difficult at all to manage or configure, and the fact that it's an extension makes it really worthwhile. It's very convenient. I just love the integration parts of it and how accessible it is to all platforms like Google or Microsoft. It's all in sync and provides an all-in-one solution. The initial setup was absolutely straightforward, very simple, very easy, and very manageable. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I feel like when it comes to customizing CrankWheel, you should be able to customize it to fit your brand or your company's brand, whether it's changing the theme, the color, adding the logo, etcetera. I do feel like it should definitely be worked on to be customizable more. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I find CrankWheel incredibly valuable for running live screen-sharing demos. It's easy for clients to join instantly, which is a huge advantage, especially for those who aren't tech-savvy. The quality is great and the service is very reliable, making our process a lot smoother without any lag or setup issues. The ease of use and instant access are major benefits, and everything just works efficiently without slowing down the conversation. Also, the initial setup was an extremely smooth process.

More integrations and customization options would improve the experience. CRM and calendar integrations, plus more branding customization. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
