"Using Spond to manage my Cricket Team"
5/5
What do you like best about Spond?

Being able to manage availability and team selection has been really easy with Spond. It is also a useful place to put match information and team information too. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Spond?

It would be a very nuanced function but being able to differentiate between different levels of players would be useful. So for example, a fullly paid up member of my team would have priority of training sessions (where I impose a limit on numbers) to a casual pay as you go member Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Excellent tool for easily managing teams/age groups."
5/5
What do you like best about Spond?

I have been using Spond since the start of the 2021-22 Rugby Season to manage 3 x Girls teams of differing age groups. The set up is simple and I love how I can manage all 3 teams by age group, completely separately or as one large group. Adding new players is simple, adding/loading fixtures and Posts also very simple, and easy for both me as Admin and the player/parent users. I am delighted that I made the switch to this product from my previous team management app

I also like that I can add additional criteria to enable me to categorise the players further as required. Particularly important for our set up.

In our set up we have brought together girls from different clubs to play as one, yet we can add them all simply under the Rugby Hub Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Spond?

Inabity to delete old "chats" from Messages. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Rob Lawson of Spond

Hi, thanks for your positive review. The reason you can't currently delete old messages is to ensure full traceability and safeguarding within the app. This is something we're looking at, however, so watch this space for enhanced features in the near future.

"Unanimously positive"
5/5
What do you like best about Spond?

We recently evaluated the use of Spond by our members, and they were unanimously positive about the tool. It makes communication so much easier! It helps of having all events in one place, and it makes it super convenient when someone joins later throughout the year; you just invite them to the group, and they know everything about upcoming events, locations, hours... Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Spond?

The messaging feature could be improved: notifications don't always work, and you can't tag anyone. It would also be nice to bulk respond to a series of events after an invitation is send. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Rob Lawson of Spond

Thanks so much for your positive review. I have passed on your feedback to our product development team, who are always working on enhancements to the app and I know there are improvements to messaging in the pipeline for 2022.

5/5
What do you like best about Spond?

I simply LOVE Spond, the whole app. As a club, we simply could not operate without it. It's so intuitive and simple to use. It has enabled us to grow our multi-sports club because we can manage all our activities across the whole club in one place. We can quickly and easily get information to our participants, even if we have to make changes last minute, we can keep a track of attendance, we can share stories and chat about the bits we are interested in, we cab set up easy payments for our events, we can schedule a whole season and enable our members to have an overview of what is coming up and much more besides. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Spond?

We would like to be able to set up Direct debits for our members but this feature is not yet available. Spond are very good at listening to their users so it may well be in development already. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Rob Lawson of Spond

Hi Eleanor, thanks so much for your positive review. I have passed on your feedback to the product development team and I can confirm that they are currently working on a number of enhancements to our payment offer, so watch this space,

"Every club should use Spond"
5/5
What do you like best about Spond?

Spond gives our club a one-stop system to manage our membership and events/activities.

Spond helps save volunteers time while covering the essential issues like GDPR. The ever-growing features also mean they as a company seem to be listing to us users, which gives me faith this is a long-term solution to running our club. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Spond?

Not much for me to dislike as this is a free to use product, which makes me wonder why more people don't use spond. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Rob Lawson of Spond

Thanks Mark, your positive review of Spond is much appreciated. It's great to know that clubs like yours are making full use of the Spond team management platform
