Preciate--facilitating a thank-you culture in these remote times **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Stefanie G. | Manager, Advisory Services Operations, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** February 21, 2022 **What do you like best about Scoot?** Preciate has truly helped our firm come together in these difficult times. Our company fosters a culture of communication, collaboration, and appreciation. Preciate is not only fun but also interactive. It brings us together in an easy-to-use and dynamic platform. Being able to see others' thanks and praise connects us and gives us a sense of togetherness even when we're not physically together. The Preciate socials are a new and interesting way to get together--we're on Microsoft Teams all day long. In Preciate social, we can listen to some music, virtually mingle, and get to know people in a more informal way--groups can branch off and talk separately while still in the same platform. **What do you dislike about Scoot?** It would be helpful to be able to curate the Preciate feed a little more, perhaps to filter or see past a certain date set. **Recommendations to others considering Scoot:** Really utilize all of Preciate's capabilities, and make it your own--tailor it to your company's culture. **What problems is Scoot solving and how is that benefiting you?** Getting our appreciation out in the open is so helpful--previously, our thank-yous were 1:1 based. And while it's always nice to get a personal note from a colleague, getting a fun badge with a specific subject is meaningful. And the fact that the entire organization can see it means that we can shout out our thanks to everyone. **Official Response from Lydia Stevens:** > Hi Stefanie! Thanks so much for taking the time to leave us your feedback on Preciate. It's amazing to hear how Preciate has helped your team build stronger relationships and make connections no matter where people are located. I will be sure to pass along your feedback on feed filtering to the product team. Thanks again for your support! ### 3. Decent Platform For Online Interactions **Rating:** 3.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Computer Software | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** February 17, 2022 **What do you like best about Scoot?** Preciate as a platform is very cool. You can join a room where you're a small bubble floating around, and you move closer to different people to hear their conversations simulating being in a real office. The closer you get, the louder it gets, and if you move away, you no longer hear the conversation. There are rooms you can split into and host games or smaller group sessions, and overall it is a pretty decent social platform. **What do you dislike about Scoot?** One thing I disliked about the platform was the degrading audio and the fact only ten people could be in a small area. My work used it to host an office party where around 25 people. Sometimes you'd move next to a group and hear about an exciting story, or someone would be sharing something you wanted to see. If there were already ten people in that area, though, it would complain at you and tell you to separate. They do have a presenter mode for people to use to show off or address everyone. While I understand the audio problem, I know you have other platforms that host far more than that in a single room, so it surprised me a little that this would be an issue. **What problems is Scoot solving and how is that benefiting you?** My organization used this platform as a way to feel like a community. With work being remote and very few of us going into offices, being able to see and interact with my new co-workers was pretty awesome. **Official Response from Lydia Stevens:** > Hi there! First, thank you for taking the time to leave us your feedback on Preciate. It is great to hear how Preciate has provided a virtual space where you and your team can feel like a community while working remotely. I will be sure to pass along your feedback on the group limit of ten to the product and engineering team. This is an area I know we are working on currently, and we will continue to iterate until we get it right! Thanks again for your review; we truly appreciate it. ### 4. A Fantastic Tool for Remote Teams **Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Alec M. | Business Analyst, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** October 31, 2021 **What do you like best about Scoot?** With a virtual team, there is a level of connection that can be missing, and Preciate helps to bridge that gap that a bunch of tiles cannot. Instead of everyone talking over each other, or a bunch of glazed-over eyes, Preciate helps to bring some humanity to this remote work. Allowing users to be interactive by moving around and jumping to different conversations keeps everyone engaged, a considerable step up from random break-out rooms. It is simple, but I love the short information video for first-time users; it is an excellent overview that allows users to join seamlessly and begin conversing. The option to create different rooms is a huge step above Zoom, and I love the toast feature as it is a great way to alert everyone someone is going to speak instead of trying to get everyone to quiet down and mute. **What do you dislike about Scoot?** Overall it is a fantastic platform, just looking forward to a mobile option for those users who may be joining from the road. **What problems is Scoot solving and how is that benefiting you?** We have lots of daily standups and weekly team meetings, and it is an excellent change of pace from all the tiles and keeps everyone engaged during team meetings. Everyone is much more involved instead of hiding on mute. **Official Response from Lydia Stevens:** > Hi Alec! Thanks so much for taking the time to leave us your review of Preciate. We love hearing how Preciate has helped your team connect in a more human way while working remotely. It's also awesome to see that you're using the platform for everything from daily stand ups to weekly team meetings. We hope you have been enjoying the new iOS app that came out recently that allows you to join a Preciate room from your mobile device! Thanks again for your feedback; we truly appreciate it. ### 5. New user **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Ray Z. | D, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** February 17, 2022 **What do you like best about Scoot?** I like the atmosphere it creates. Background music and you can see everyone. Very easy for everyone to enter the room. Use share otion, muting people is easy. Can be branded **What do you dislike about Scoot?** Nothing yet as I am just getting used to using preciate. I am a new user. There is a learning curve from using Zoom and teams, which is normal with any new platform **What problems is Scoot solving and how is that benefiting you?** Mental wellness is so essential today. This is the only platform I have seen that deals with this topic. It's crucial to make webinars a more social event. Leadership is excited **Official Response from Lydia Stevens:** > Hi Ray! Thanks for taking the time to leave us your feedback on Preciate. Glad to hear you've been enjoying the Preciate platform for socializing with music, branded backgrounds, and an atmosphere that promotes real relationship building. Thanks again for your support! ### 6. Excellent tool for team building **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** John W. | Board Member, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** October 26, 2021 **What do you like best about Scoot?** A refreshing change from zoom. Preciate works well for getting people to engage with each other directly in a remote setting. Great for side conversations; good for letting me make direct contact quickly with people on my team when a full one-on-one is too much. Great for end-of-day or end of quarter conversations when teammates want to feel and experience pride or enthusiasm from a good day or a project wrap. They can listen to you talking to someone else in a surprisingly natural way. This works great for introverts and my teammates who sometimes warm up slowly to a disucssion. **What do you dislike about Scoot?** Some of my team rolled their eyes when they thought it was "another zoom". But once we got into it, they saw it was something different and that we were using it in a different way to communicate not as a replacement for zoom. **What problems is Scoot solving and how is that benefiting you?** We use it to create a warmer, collaborative, informal setting for teammates that can't be there in person. It lightens the mood almost immediately and enables people to speak frankly and conversationally. **Official Response from Lydia Stevens:** > Hi John! Thanks so much for taking the time to leave us feedback on Preciate. We truly appreciate your support! It's awesome to hear how you and your team have adopted Preciate as a more human and collaborative platform for meetings and events. Thanks again for your review. ### 7. Finally - a collaborative video platform that makes sense. **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Francois M. | CEO, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** October 21, 2021 **What do you like best about Scoot?** The UX is oustanding compared to most 2D tools I've used (I was a Product Mgr for Videoconferencing back in 1995, I've seen dozens of new products come out and go), moving the flat 2D boring UX's of today into something more akin to 3D and spatially relevant group meetings, person-to-person, person-to-group, group-to-person communications - like they are in real life. Free-flowing, moving around a room, sound fading away from a group as you leave it and focusing on the person/s you now face and talk to. 3D sound and personal navigation is super innovative and (as always with innovative UIs) such a no-brainer once you see it. **What do you dislike about Scoot?** At this stage it's still missing video recording, which I'm told is bring built. They have a workaround too using a third party software partner, but fully integrated would be even better. Else, no downside I can see. **What problems is Scoot solving and how is that benefiting you?** We run training programmes for tech companies, helping them get funding from the world's best VCs. We run our programme in cohorts of companies, and these cohorts are broken down into groups of CEOs who work together. With Preciate the UX maps perfectly into real world workgroups and sub-groups, and gives everybody a simple, intuitive way to move from one (/sub)group to another in real time without having to enter "rooms" and disconnect. More connections, more people all working together, all in one ux. ### 8. Easy/fun way to connect with your employees **Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Kayla M. | HR Generalist, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** October 21, 2021 **What do you like best about Scoot?** The ability to move around the room makes it feel like you are in an actual live room as you would in a regular in-person happy hour. I loved that aspect during Covid when our whole workforce was 100% remote as a way for all of us to be together and now as a way to connect with our remote employees. I also enjoy the toast capability, which adds a fun flare. Customer support was very fast to respond to any questions I had and they were always super friendly! Keep it up. **What do you dislike about Scoot?** That there is no capability to screen share a video when presenting. **Recommendations to others considering Scoot:** Ability to screen share a video when presenting. **What problems is Scoot solving and how is that benefiting you?** No current problems. Benefits- it is a user-friendly platform that allows employees to create rooms to connect, brainstorm, and present. ### 9. Preicate is the perfect online social cocktail party **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Michael P. | CEO & Co-Founder, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** October 19, 2021 **What do you like best about Scoot?** Preciate perfectly and intuitively replicates all of the human behaviors experienced at a cocktail party/social event **What do you dislike about Scoot?** Very little. Some new features I am anxiously awaiting but I am a heavy user in its current state. **Recommendations to others considering Scoot:** This is a genre defining application. You need to experience it to understand **What problems is Scoot solving and how is that benefiting you?** remote culture and team engagement. Online gatherings that promote conversations for my events. Team building and company happy hours. **Official Response from Lydia Stevens:** > Hi Michael! Thank you so much for your kind words and support. It's truly amazing to hear how much of a gap Preciate has filled in the virtual socializing space and how it has helped your remote team with engagement and culture building. We appreciate you! ### 10. Amazing and Unique Social Experience **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Hunter S. | Director, Development, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** October 21, 2021 **What do you like best about Scoot?** Preciate offers their "Socials" as one of their coolest features. It is a really unique and fun experience. Totally different than your typical Zoom session. We use them at our company for weekly social hangouts and catching up with all our remote at-home workers. **What do you dislike about Scoot?** The limit of 10 people per "group" is a pain at times since sometimes you may only have 12-15 people on a Social and if you are the 1 or 2 people left out it forces you to go make your own little group. It make sense in theory but in practice there are frequently one person in red on the outside of the group. **What problems is Scoot solving and how is that benefiting you?** Connecting people in a more and more distributed workforce time. ### 11. New Level of Video Chats **Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Pharmaceuticals | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** October 25, 2021 **What do you like best about Scoot?** It's a very cool idea to be able to move around in the "room" and talk with other people and groups. I definitely get the feel of a being at a large mixer or event where there are going to pockets of people that I can speak to. Also the volume changing dynamic is very and useful when you want to have a side conversation with someone in bigger group. **What do you dislike about Scoot?** No mobile ability is the biggest shortfall for me. I know the product is sort in a beta stage but eventually if I can use Preciate from my mobile device (with ease), that would certainly allow me to utilize it more with my work and social groups. **What problems is Scoot solving and how is that benefiting you?** One problem I'm solving with Preciate is sustaining engagement which is hard to do in a video chat setting. i think the ability to move around and have side conversations with a specific person in group is really beneficial. **Official Response from Lydia Stevens:** > Hi there! Thanks for taking the time to leave us your feedback on Preciate. We are happy to hear how Preciate has been a more engaging and realistic virtual space where you can move freely and form side conversations easily. We are also happy to let you know that the new Preciate iOS app is officially out, which allows people to join a Preciate room from their mobile device. Thanks again for your review; we truly appreciate it! ### 12. Fresh approach to socialization online through Video Confrencing **Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Fraz A. | Functional Consultant / Business Analyst , Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** September 25, 2021 **What do you like best about Scoot?** Networking needs are inevitable if you like to grow as a business and connect to your peers and customers. Preciate is providing a convenient solution to build a team as well a customer based through smart tools as every business is looking to stay connected in these dire times of pandemic when online communication has become a pivotal ingredient to businesses **What do you dislike about Scoot?** Its GUI and color scheme is a little dull, and the team could elevate its aesthetics **Recommendations to others considering Scoot:** Yes , its a useful tool as conferencing online helps building a network that is essential to every business these days **What problems is Scoot solving and how is that benefiting you?** Video conferencing and team connectivity when people can't be together in person and still need to discuss ideas and performance of the business and explore business opportunities **Official Response from Lydia Stevens:** > Hi Fraz! Thank you so much for your feedback and support. We love hearing from others how important networking and real relationship building is to maintain through periods of working remotely. We also hope you are enjoying the new branding and color scheme that came out February 2022! Thanks again for your review of Preciate; we truly appreciate it. ### 13. Organic Virtual Connection **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Education Management | Enterprise (> 1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** October 25, 2021 **What do you like best about Scoot?** The casual environment to float around and join multiple conversations hearing only your own and the music in the background reduces the stress of feeling the need to always talk or fill the void of quiet **What do you dislike about Scoot?** The video screens of the people you are chatting with could flex to be more prominent when you want to focus on a conversation vs. see the whole room. **What problems is Scoot solving and how is that benefiting you?** Great way to connect with friends and colleagues outside of the apps we associate with work in a more casual and organic way. Zoom or Microsoft Teams have a work/meeting room feel with the stress and pressures that come with it, and this is a great option to get out of that element when it's more social. You don't often have a team happy hour, lunch, or get-together in a meeting room, do you? Why should your virtual life be different? ### 14. Competent business tool **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Dr. David A. | Consultant, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** October 17, 2021 **What do you like best about Scoot?** This is a product that picks up where Teams and Zoom leave the scene- literally! It makes it easy to organize and manage meetings by making the process visual. I am an intensive user of both great products but often they can be cumbersome when managing multiple teams. I found Preciate easy to use, intuitive, great UI with a good range of meeting tools. **What do you dislike about Scoot?** I had two issues: 1. When sharing a screen in presenter mode, could not see other participants 2. When logging in the audio, video defaults have to be set manually each time before you can join the meeting. In Teams and Zoom also but their implementation is better. **What problems is Scoot solving and how is that benefiting you?** Four problems solved for my team by Preciate include: 1. Splitting up groups much easier 2. Tracking who is in teams much easier 3. Selecting/identifying/joining a team to join much easier 4. Ease with which can have multiple presenters. Together, these make virtual meetings easy to manage and fun! ### 15. Great for Co-working and Group Virtual Meetings **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Jessi B. | President, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** October 19, 2021 **What do you like best about Scoot?** Participants can move around inside a large virtual "room", which means if two people want to have a side conversation, they can move away from the larger group easily. **What do you dislike about Scoot?** Isn't available yet for ipads - that will make it easier to conduct meetings with my field staff. **Recommendations to others considering Scoot:** If you regularly have meetings with more than three people, Preciate is spectacular. It's so much easier to use than zoom, and because you can move around within the room, it's easy to avoid one person dominating the conversaiton. **What problems is Scoot solving and how is that benefiting you?** My staff is all over the metro area, and Preciate lets us have meetings, work together, and problem solve client issues quickly. ### 16. Fun Way to Connect **Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Alternative Medicine | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** February 17, 2022 **What do you like best about Scoot?** Preciate is a fun way to connect with coworkers because it's a space outside of our normal video chat that allows some festive options and creativity. **What do you dislike about Scoot?** When in a room, it's just not always easy to navigate around spatially. **Recommendations to others considering Scoot:** Could be helpful to have a more clear tutorial on how to navigate within a room. **What problems is Scoot solving and how is that benefiting you?** I'm not sure if it solves problems necessarily, but I think it benefits employees by giving them a creative and fun way to communicate. **Official Response from Lydia Stevens:** > Hi there! Thanks for leaving us your review on the Preciate platform. It's great to hear how Preciate has provided a fun and creative virtual space for you and your team to get together and form connections. I will be sure to pass along your feedback on navigation to the product team; we have some updates coming in this area that I think you will love. There will be more video tutorials coming out soon as well. Thanks again for your feedback and support; we truly appreciate it! ### 17. Preciate breaks away from the norm and adds a little fun to that team meeting you have to have. **Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Meg P. | Area Manager, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** October 19, 2021 **What do you like best about Scoot?** The bubble feature where you can form into different groups and not hear those around you is great! **What do you dislike about Scoot?** Only downside is a few technical issues we have had when reassigning someone else as the presenter but I am sure they are working on fixing this. **Recommendations to others considering Scoot:** This is a great way for remote workers to feel involved. Does take a little getting used to but after a few meetings everyone will feel a lot more comfortable. **What problems is Scoot solving and how is that benefiting you?** This solves our problem of a widely spread company across different countries. It creates a different conversation as opposed to Zoom & Teams. ### 18. Proximity Chat is a game changer! **Rating:** 3.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Health, Wellness and Fitness | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** February 23, 2022 **What do you like best about Scoot?** - Love the ability to interact with individuals in the same way we would in-person. This app allows social events to be more effective than a traditional Teams meeting we would otherwise use! **What do you dislike about Scoot?** - Feeling like an intermediary for a bigger sales deal. - No self-service functionality for 'higher level' features (have to submit images to have uploaded for background, etc).- **What problems is Scoot solving and how is that benefiting you?** - Creating more effective and enjoyable social events to increase employee engagement. **Official Response from Lydia Stevens:** > Hi there! Glad to hear you're enjoying socializing on a virtual platform that feels more like real life than other platforms out there. It's always awesome to hear about other teams who find Preciate increases employee engagement as much as we do. We are definitely on board with including more self-service functionality for things like uploading custom backgrounds, and we have some exciting stuff coming up in this department that we think you'll love. Thanks for taking the time to leave us your feedback! We greatly appreciate it. ### 19. Not perfect but works well. Better than the alternatives **Rating:** 3.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Andrew S. | Tech Lead, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** February 17, 2022 **What do you like best about Scoot?** Its a nice way to talk to people and move around seemlessly **What do you dislike about Scoot?** The zoom in and out can work a little better and it can be hard to find people **What problems is Scoot solving and how is that benefiting you?** Nice way to do social interections remotly **Official Response from Lydia Stevens:** > Hi Andrew! Thanks for taking the time to leave us your feedback on Preciate. I am glad to hear that you've been enjoying socializing and moving around a virtual room freely on the Preciate platform. I will be sure to pass along your feedback on navigation and the mini map to our product team; there are some updates coming in this area that I think you will love. Thanks again for your review! We truly appreciate it. ### 20. Super Immersive Platform That Enhances the Virtual Space! **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Public Relations and Communications | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** February 17, 2022 **What do you like best about Scoot?** I love how engaging Preciate is. It's great to have the whole team feeling involved and the music in the background makes for a fun and upbeat virtual space. 10/10! **What do you dislike about Scoot?** Not much to complain about here. I personally haven't encountered any issues whatsoever when using Preciate. **What problems is Scoot solving and how is that benefiting you?** I have noticed a far more engaged team, and the platform makes me more inquisitive in the workplace, rather than simply staring at black boxes with no engagement. **Official Response from Lydia Stevens:** > Hi there! Thanks so much for your feedback and support. We love hearing how Preciate helps increase engagement and team involvement. We appreciate you! ### 21. Innovative New Professional Platform **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Research | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** October 29, 2021 **What do you like best about Scoot?** Two aspects are great: 1) The video conference/meeting platform is fun as it can be interactive and it gives you the ability to drop in and out of conversations and to hold side conversations easily. The music is also a nice touch, and it's visually more appealing than the "boxes" that others use; 2) The ability to recognize colleagues and for those recognitions to "stick" with a person is a nice feature. **What do you dislike about Scoot?** Can be taxing on my old computer, but that is more of my problem. **What problems is Scoot solving and how is that benefiting you?** My social video meetings are no longer boring and stale like they are with other video conferencing platforms. It's refreshing to have a new video meeting platform, and I think it keeps participants more engaged than some other platforms. **Official Response from Lydia Stevens:** > Hi there! Thanks so much for your feedback and support. We love hearing how Preciate has helped bring fun and interactivity back to your video conferencing and meetings. Creating a more engaging and realistic platform was exactly our goal, so we love to hear this kind of feedback. Thanks again for your review; we truly appreciate it. ### 22. Flexible platform for leaders looking to find a more engaging zoom **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Marketing and Advertising | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** October 28, 2021 **What do you like best about Scoot?** I like the flexibility of the Preciate Platform. I have used it for the traditional video conference capabilities, but I work on a global team, and we have used it for team-building exercises and social events. **What do you dislike about Scoot?** The only negative I have is that the platform is very energy hungry and can drain a battery fast. So be sure to have a charger handy if you have a long meeting on the platform. **What problems is Scoot solving and how is that benefiting you?** We have solved an engagement problem with Preciate. We have all used many different video conference tools, and all too often, there is a one-sided conversation happening. However, with Preciate and their approach to virtual meetings, our team members have been more engaged and more collaborative during meetings or other events. **Official Response from Lydia Stevens:** > Hi there! Thank you so much for taking the time to leave us your feedback on Preciate. It's awesome to hear how your and your team have been able to use Preciate for more engaging team-building and social events. Thanks again for your review; we truly appreciate it! ### 23. Way better interactions than Zoom! **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Research | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** October 15, 2021 **What do you like best about Scoot?** It's a big improvement over being one of a thousand tiles. It's a big step to making a remote get-together feel like a cocktail party. It brings humanity back to virtual meetings. Preciate let's you choose who to talk to. Let's face it; sometimes you're done with a conversation, but other chat apps don't provide good options for sidebars. **What do you dislike about Scoot?** The seaonal backgrounds could be updated. Who needs a Cinco de Mayo background in October? **Recommendations to others considering Scoot:** Definitely recommend. Everyone who has used the platform with me loves how it changes the feeling of being in a virtual meeting. It really cuts through the monotony. **What problems is Scoot solving and how is that benefiting you?** We're using it to connect with hybrid/remote colleagues. I've definitely seen an increase in engagement since we started using it. It's a nice step to combatting Zoom-fatigue. ### 24. Great Platform :) **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Computer Software | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** February 17, 2022 **What do you like best about Scoot?** It was very intuative, i really enjoyed being able to communicate with my peers in an application that tries to bridge real life with online work. I also enjoyed the proximity. **What do you dislike about Scoot?** I did not like how when we set up games, the board dissapeared, some of the things were a bit clunky like having more then 5 peopl ein a group some people coulnd't hear. **What problems is Scoot solving and how is that benefiting you?** We used preciate to meet with my peers as a way to get to know each other, we benefitted in getting to know the team, and being able to have fun even in an online setting. ### 25. Great platform for interactive meetings! **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Melanie P. | Publicist, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** February 22, 2022 **What do you like best about Scoot?** This platform is a great way to create human-like interactions in a remote world!

It takes Zoom to the next level. **What problems is Scoot solving and how is that benefiting you?** Almost all of my interactions with clients are via video calls, and Preciate allows us to connect in a personalized way.

Bright and intuitive! **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Marketing and Advertising | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** October 23, 2021 **What do you like best about Scoot?** I love the soft color palette and UI that make the working environment pleasant and unstressful. Everything on the website is intuitive and beautifully designed. Every aspect of working should be made as positive as possible and this application has succeeded in making the mundane a little more enjoyable. I absolutely love the meeting room, very cute and creates a light-hearted, casual atmosphere! As a little note, the music function is a great touch that i've not seen done on other platforms. **What do you dislike about Scoot?** I would love to see more personality functions available in the chatrooms! For example, perhaps the ability to change the backgrounds or make avatars! **What problems is Scoot solving and how is that benefiting you?** I have had no problems using Preciate with my collegues! ### 28. Preciate Review **Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Leisure, Travel & Tourism | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** October 18, 2021 **What do you like best about Scoot?** A key USP – which Preciate describes as “Audio Proximity” - is the ability to start your conversation with anyone in the room by moving your image bubble around to touch or be near another attendee (or more than one) in the room, and start talking. Your position in the room shown on the MINI-MAP **What do you dislike about Scoot?** The video introduction could better cover the Preciate platform 'concept’ and what it is. Unless you have had the app explained, joining " My room" a bit overwhelming for first-time users. **Recommendations to others considering Scoot:** Preciate platform is a video conferencing app that is less stereo typed than other apps. It introduces the concept of making online video meetings more like a meeting of people in a room, where you can wander around and talk to anyone in that room. Effectively it creates an environment similar to being in one meeting room together where multiple huddles of groups or teams to get together and have separate conversations and dialogue, just like they might do attending a sales conference or a big employee get-together. **What problems is Scoot solving and how is that benefiting you?** Gives invitees power over their environment in a meeting Promotes team cohesion – the virtual water-cooler moments ### 29. Great tool for networking and fun events! **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Entertainment | Enterprise (> 1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** October 28, 2021 **What do you like best about Scoot?** Preciate Socials provides a positive escape from the normal virtual meeting spaces we are all used to. From the mobility aspect to the music and background, Socials has given our team a new way to engage and interact virtually. **What do you dislike about Scoot?** Depending on my screen size, the experience changes. For example, if I click into the settings on my laptop it takes over the whole screen. On my second screen, it works perfectly. **What problems is Scoot solving and how is that benefiting you?** For us, networking is going to be the largest use case. We'll also use it for fun events/parties and refrain from work relate discussions - we want this to be known as a fun space! **Official Response from Lydia Stevens:** > Hi there! Thanks for leaving us your review on Preciate. So happy to hear you've been loving Preciate as a more fun, engaging, and human space to meet up virtually. I will be sure to pass your feedback on screen responsiveness on to our product and engineering team. Thanks again for your feedback! We truly appreciate it. ### 30.

Their forward-thinking innovations will help you grow your engagement in a variety of distributed work environments. Thought leaders in this space! **What problems is Scoot solving and how is that benefiting you?** In a remote work environment, we had no way to share recognition across teams and locations.

Great idea for connection. **Rating:** 3.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Non-Profit Organization Management | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** October 21, 2021 **What do you like best about Scoot?** We loved the idea of connecting our principals in our 79 Catholic Schools for a little social time. At a time when everyone was feeling disconnected, we were able to offer a virtual party that felt like a party! **What do you dislike about Scoot?** We experienced an overload of the system and we had some technical problems with guests being able to come into the party so we had to revert to a zoom. It was a great idea but it didn't work great for us. I believe they have fixed this issue and I know we were an early user in this new technology. **What problems is Scoot solving and how is that benefiting you?** We used it as a social platform to connect our principals for an event. People are feeling disconnected with working from home and social distancing. This helped people feel connected. **Official Response from Lydia Stevens:** > Hi there!

Intuitive and embeddable networking solutions for EventTech **Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Information Technology and Services | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** October 27, 2021 **What do you like best about Scoot?** Easy navigation.

Other typical services can just be giant shout fests **What do you dislike about Scoot?** As with most services, I think there is always room to improve aesthetics and technical issues. Nothing specific that I dislike, rather looking forward to continuing improvements **What problems is Scoot solving and how is that benefiting you?** I use appreciate to get small teams of people 6-10 people together to share, network and discuss ### 40.
