"Extremely useful platform!"
4.5/5
What do you like best about Guidebook?

Guidebook is an exceptionally easy tool to use, and it pays dividends. We've seen a great success with our rollout, and a high percentage of our students and families use the platform during our large events. It's incredibly helpful to have all of the unique tools in one app; we're able to not only craft a schedule, but include documents, push updates, list the office hours, and much more.

While I wasn't involved in the implementation period, the customer service from our rep is outstanding. She's always got great tips and tricks that add to the ease of use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Guidebook?

Sometimes, I think there are too many clicks once you're actually using the app. We've had a number of families share feedback that they couldn't find the different features, when in reality they didn't click far enough. It may be an error on our end, but we can't quite crack that. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Dynamic, flexible, and user friendly!"
5/5
What do you like best about Guidebook?

We’ve loved using Guidebook to support our Sage Leadership Festival experience. The app offers a thoughtful balance of functionality and simplicity—it’s lightweight on attendees’ phones, yet packed with powerful, interactive features that help bring our event to life.

One of our favorite aspects is how customizable and robust the content management tools are. We were able to share everything from agendas to speaker bios to venue maps in a clean, user-friendly format. The ability to make real-time updates—right from mobile—gave us flexibility and peace of mind throughout the event.

Attendees enjoyed the interactive elements, and our team appreciated how intuitive the back-end was to navigate. Guidebook made it easy to create a cohesive, polished experience that truly elevated our festival.

We’re excited to keep building on this platform for future events. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Guidebook?

While our overall experience with Guidebook was overwhelmingly positive, we did encounter a few challenges worth noting.

Creating custom schedules for attendees proved a bit complex and time-consuming on the back end. While the functionality is there, the setup process isn’t as intuitive as other parts of the platform.

Additionally, we experienced an app-wide issue during the event when attendees tried to access the networking feature to connect with one another—the app crashed consistently, limiting engagement in that section. We understand that occasional glitches happen, but this was a key feature for our audience, and we hope to see improvements in future versions. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"A useful tool backed by a great team"
4/5
What do you like best about Guidebook?

Guidebook is a great tool to use for large scale events, particularly in education. However, my favorite part about using Guidebook is engaging with the team. The account managers who directly work with our office are always so friendly, willing to help, and take the time to get to know our personal needs for the tool. I love that they're always willing to listen to any feedback that we may have for future improvements, and that we have opportunities to learn from them about new features and updates. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Guidebook?

Guidebook can be a bit tricky for some new users to navigate. However, I understand that familiarity comes with time and the design of the GB is up to our team as well. We're always looking for ways to improve the efficiency of our GB, and the GB team is always willing to give us suggestions on how to make ours better. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
