"Use it for multiple groups in a charitable organization setting"

5/5

What do you like best about Crew?

This is the best app yet to keep in touch, brainstorm, schedule, and keep people in a group informed on what's happening and what's next. It not only has painless group/individual text messaging capabilities, but you can also record and send voice messages and even videos! I used it to send a short instructional of myself setting up a rather complicated piece of software, and people were able to replicate the algorithm. You can post schedules, schedules of shifts, etc. For the unpaid version, you are limited to 10 ppl per group, for paid is unlimited. Also, for the paid version you may have multiple admins. Also, you can use across multiple platforms: Android, iOS, Windows, and multiple devices per account, in parallel. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Crew?

The only two things I dislike about crew are the following: If you try to send a message to everybody and you don't already have a conversation that you can reply to, you have to select everybody from the list individually. You cannot choose in bulk. The other very annoying thing for power users like me is that the app is always in portrait mode. It doesn't accommodate landscape mode. Also, there is a meager limit (10 ppl) for the unpaid version. Also, if you archive a thread by mistake, it is hard to recover it (counterintuitive). It doesn't have encription (as far as I know).

Recommendations to others considering Crew:

Crew is a great app, and it has a free and a paid version. You can download and use it for several separate groups. Highly recommended! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Crew solving and how is that benefiting you?

Instant group communication, calling unscheduled meetings, informing about emergencies. Also, brainstorming ideas, virtual voting, and virtual meetings. Also, scheduling shifts and keeping everyone informed. Also, training people in how to use software, and even hardware. Also, promoting and encouraging employees for special achievements. We even share jokes. The threads are separate and can be named accordingly so you can keep track of them. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
