"Positive Overall Experience"
What do you like best about Scoop?

Within our company, our primary method for selecting working locations is through the integration with Slack. Previously, we encountered limitations with a third-party app which restricted user capacity. Thus, the core functionality provided by Scoop in this regard is highly appreciated. Its user-friendly interface and intuitive design make it remarkably easy to navigate, and the integration process with Slack was seamless from the outset. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Scoop?

Critically, while Scoop seamlessly integrates with Slack and offers a range of useful features, it's important to note a specific limitation: Google Calendar's working locations cannot be synced with Scoop. While other Google Calendar events can be synced without issue, this discrepancy may pose challenges for users who rely heavily on Google Calendar's working locations for scheduling office days.

"Pretty good, but pushy"
What do you like best about Scoop?

It is useful to know when certain people are going in to the office on certain days. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Scoop?

I haven't figured out how to set a consistent schedule. It is also a bit aggressive with notifications I feel. I also don't know that I need whether I am in the office or not to be my slack emoji, but it keeps bugging you until you say yes. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Scoop makes my work commute more flexible"
What do you like best about Scoop?

The UI is simple and easy to use, it's not overwhelmed to navigate, which is critical when it comes to commute plannig for work. Also the app seems stable enough that I haven't experience issues or app crash yet. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Scoop?

I only use Scoop as rider, but I did observe the Scoop GPS seems shows obvious detours sometimes when there are multiple riders on the same car, which delays the arrival time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Sometimes intuitive but sometimes confusing and messy"
What do you like best about Scoop?

I like the overall idea and also the functionalities that Scoop offers such as: inviting coworkers proactively, pools, integration with Calendar Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Scoop?

Even if I really like the offer, I sometimes get confused in what I should do for simply comunicate my next presence at the office (main objective). The chat in slack is confusing and I struggle to understand how to reach the main goal of communicating my next presence. Maybe it's a matter of giving more relevance to the primary actions and then distinguish them from the other options you have.

In general, it's not that straightaway as I thought or as I find other Slack's plugin we use (for example Polly, personalized bots we created, Fellow, ..) Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Decent"
What do you like best about Scoop?

The stage puts an accentuation on security. Riders and drivers could really look at one another's profiles prior to tolerating a match, and the stage had measures set up to guarantee that everybody had a solid sense of reassurance while utilizing the help. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
