What users say

The best thing about yapp is the possibility to create an Event and to schedule business meetings Where everyone is always updated about the meeting. For the price it is very worth it.
For a smaller group with a limited budget, this app was a great option. It had the necessary functionality for us to eliminate our printed program and use the app only.

AMAZING! Everyone gets so excited every time we use this tool!

Reviewed 7 years ago

Better collaboration at all our events! Our teams are communicating better now too.

Pros

I have been using YAPP for over 2 years for our global conferences - to get people to engage, get excited, and as a way of reducing printed paper agendas and other print materials. I love the functionality, and how easy it is to upload and use - I have had to test out another event app and that was very difficult to use. I especially love that I can upload a simple CSV file with participant names and that comes up so easily. I really do enjoy working with the tool - and being able to upload files so easily!

Cons

The cost - sometimes I find it high. The only other thing I would say is the way apps are archived so you can't see some from the previous year.

The only cost effective solution I have found

Reviewed 2 years ago

Overall, it's a simple platform that helps structure data, display it helpfully, and update it in-realtime for conference attendees. Not as fancy or feature rich as other platforms, but by far the most affordable. Simple and effective.

Pros

It is a very easy solution to use and accomplishes the desire of having a conference "app". Worth the money and can be used simply for data distribution and communication, or you can use more advanced features if desired. Compared to all the other enterprise systems out there, this is the only one that is anywhere affordable for a non-profit event.

Cons

A little more customization on the app pages designed for just content display would be nice, but the more custom you can get the more complex it gets. A few more built-in themes or styles for the app structure/layout would be nice, but again, keeping it simple can actually be a blessing. More dynamic linking of data would be helpful (being able to create instances of items and then link to it throughout the app rather than having to recreate the data on different pages).

Vendor response

Thanks for the review, Jonathan. We appreciate you sharing your thoughts about how Yapp can serve you better. We're determined to continue to improve the platform while keeping it priced reasonable for non-profits like you.

Great price. Simple, clean design with variety of templates to deliver information. Very responsive to questions or issues that need to be reviewed.

Pros

Yapp is a simple application to build and manage all information for conference attendees.

Cons

Would like to be able to execute real time polls or crowd source ideas — might need to brainstorm with one of your account execs to learn features we might bot be utilizing to fullest around ways we can leverage Yapp with audience engagement.

Great balance of features, functionality, easy of implementation and ease of use.

Reviewed 2 years ago

We have used Yapp for several Conferences and user feedback is always very positive. Building the App and Admin is straight forward.

Pros

Ability to limit distribution to a list of users is a deal breaker for us. From an Admin perspective it is very easy to build, deploy and update Apps. The ability to import schedules, speakers, etc. from a CSV file is time saving and helpful.

Cons

So far, we have used Yapp exclusively for Conferences. While the App is great, the pricing model is unhelpful. On average, we build an App and use it for maybe 2 months (pre, during and post conference). However, we can't build a new app for the next conference within the same year without purchasing an additional App even though we are no longer using the App for the past conference. For us, it would be hugely useful if there were an option to license by Active Apps, i.e. be able to reuse the license when an App is archived, and/or have a monthly license. Would love to see some integrations with CRM, forms, etc.

Vendor response

Thanks so much for the detailed feedback, Richard. You've called out some of my favorite features of Yapp and also mentioned a few things I'd really like to see us improve too, such as integrations and improved pricing. I hope that you'll find that Yapp keeps on getting better and we look forward to working with you in the years to come. -Luke

YAPP will make rocket your conference from "awesome" to "stellar!"

Reviewed 6 years ago

Great customer support! Customer support is great. If the builder of the app does their part, you will end up with a fantastic product. Your apps can feature -discussion boards -picture walls (perfect for Selfie stations) -Twitter feed monitoring -Conference/event scheduling -A place to house your documents and maps (awesome for conference portability) -A customization engine that cements the professionalism of your organization

Pros

YAPP features an easy and intuitive user interface for creating a professional-looking mobile app which has TONS of functionality. I have been using the service for years, and have built multiple conference apps with it, all for public education, curriculum, instruction and leadership. If you look around at conferences, just about everyone will have their faces buried in their phones, tablets or laptops....

Cons

Entering the conference session data can be tedious, and there is really no way around this. However, if you use a spreadsheet to build your initial conference schedule layout, session description, location, and other pertinent data-- you can then use that spreadsheet to import your sessions with direct mapping. This saves you a big step when it comes to conference design, but it only works if you begin with the end product in mind and make that spreadsheet from the origins of the conference planning stages.

A fantastic Addition to a Conference

Reviewed 2 years ago

Love it and when I share with my clients, they to love all the capabilities it offers especially for the price.

Pros

This program was easy to use and really liked that on each page you add to the right side it gives an example of how that page is used.

Cons

It would be nice if under the schedule, when you list a speaker that either there was a more button or something to indicate click here so you can see their contact, and bio. The way it shows now unless you accidentally clicked on it you wouldn't know. Another feature, I would pay for, would be to have the ability to pin room locations under the schedule to a map.

Vendor response

Thanks for leaving this review, Priscilla. We're glad that we found the sweet spot of features and price for JR. I like your suggestion of the room locations feature -- definitely something we will consider adding in the future!

User friendly, efficient, easy access during event

Reviewed 2 years ago

We printed less trip booklets this year (only for older leaders) and saved some money and time on preparing trip information. We've used it for 4-5 years now for our events and it's really been worth the money to all all event or trip info in one easy accessible location on your mobile app. The customer service has been great and the response time is within hours or a day.

Pros

Yapp mobile app is user friendly for the staff setting it up, efficient use of staff time, and helps manage info for your group at an event. I like that participant information can be uploaded all at once via CSV files, time saver!

Cons

We have to purchase a certain amount of apps in order to get the discount. We do not ever use all the apps but its cheaper to purchase the higher package. Maybe come up with a mid price discount or a discount for loyal customers? But this is a pricing suggestion, not a "like least" about software features.

Vendor response

So glad to hear that Yapp is paying for itself in time and printing costs, Jennifer. If I had to guess, your unusual pricing experience is due to the fact that you are grandfathered into a legacy plan that we no longer offer to new customers. Feel free to reach out to our support team if you would like someone to review that for you, though!

Inspiriting for collaboration and teamwork

Reviewed 4 months ago

They have good services with a limited free trial available which is great.

Pros

Yapp has helped enlighten our teams on the need to collaborate in service delivery. An empowered team is always my main goal. Notifications and announcements can be accessed from a central point for clarity and motivation through efficient mobile apps. Being self-generated apps, customization is easy and fruitful. Yapp does not require much knowledge and skills on coding and design.

Cons

Fully satisfying. Easy to operate and user friendly. However, the price should be revisited to be lowered inorder to accommodate smaller businesses.

Need an App get the Yapp App

Reviewed 2 years ago

My overall experience has been very positive. Since day one, the staff at Yapp App has been very supportive and very quick to respond to any of the questions I had in terms of using the app and the features it provided. The chat feature they have is great and they respond to you quite quickly. Also, it is very cost-effective for what you get and you can choose to add additional apps if you decide you need more. I also like that once you retire an app, you have the ability to archive it.

Pros

This app has allowed me to seamlessly communicate with the attendees of our annual leadership summit. It was easy to learn how to use this app. There is no coding involved and each section can be customized to your liking. You can load schedules, bios, pictures, PDF, videos, etc. It also has instant messaging that allows you to quickly push out notifications. I love that you can create your content and when you are ready, you can simply push the publish button. We have also used it for other teams as well not just for our leadership summit.

Cons

I wish you could add a registration feature to the app with the ability to cap the attendees at a certain number for each workshop being offered. Possibly pushing this feature out first, before the entire contents of the app are populated.

Vendor response

Thank you for the great review, Vivian. We're happy to be able to be of service to Imagine Schools in the various uses you have found for Yapp. We hear you about session registration features and it is something we hope to address in the future.

Insane bang for your buck.

Reviewed a year ago

Fantastic. Love it and look forward to renewing!

Pros

I've worked on custom apps and customizable out of the box apps before that were monumentally more expensive and they paled in comparison to the ease of use and functionality that we found in the Yapp apps. We also had far more engagement with this app than our previous apps. My favorite thing is how you can design "pages" and move them around when you want to highlight one over another. Not being constrained to a traditional model where the developer chooses what they think is the way the app should be designed was really great for us.

Cons

I would like to see the social feeds brought back and expanded. When we signed on, Twitter was still being fed into the app, which would have been cool to see. We didn't think our attendee base would be on board with logging in to be able to share their social posts, but the ability to see our feeds would be really nice -- plus adding our feeds from Facebook, LinkedIn and Instagram would have been an added bonus.

Vendor response

What a nice review, Andrea -- thank you! I appreciate hearing that pulling in social content is important to you. It has been challenging to work with the big social platforms given how they have changed and restricted their APIs, but we'll give it some more thought!

A Non-coders Technicolor Dream App

Reviewed 2 years ago

Yapp has been easy to create with, easy to update with, and easy to get answers from their customer service team.

Pros

When we needed to look like "the bigs guys" on a budget, we searched for cost-effective yet powerful app purveyors. Yapp was suggested to me by a web developer as a cost-effective way to promote a conference for a client. From speaker bios, to multi-track event scheduling, and pushing announcements, Yapp delivered the goods and had great customer service. This expanded into a few human resources apps as well.

Cons

The one thing I would like is to have more design control -- multiple branding colors available for different items. The client is frustrated they don't have their logo/icon on the app, but I have tried to explain the ease of using Yapp as the umbrella to get apps pushed through quickly and efficiently

Vendor response

Thanks for sharing your experience, Jessica. I'm glad that it has been overwhelmingly positive. The logo/icon wish is one we share with your clients, but we're convinced that the best ROI for our customers lies in the container app approach. We will see what we can do about improving the theming/branding capabilities, though!

We are a statewide healthcare organization with a small staff and a large annual conference of VIP attendees. We've used Yapp as our event app for 4 years now, and no longer produce a print program or any other paper materials, saving money and time. Our attendees are executives who range from 30- 70+ years old and do not bring support staff to this meeting, so ease/intuitive mobile use is key. Yapp...

Very positive experience, convenient, allows good interaction with over 200 participants

Pros

We have used your application for the past three years with much success. Your application allows us to structure the work of our Conferences, which are attended by over 200 people from across the FSU. It allows us to interact with the participants through the schedule, sharing experiences and photos from the events.

We appreciate your review, Joshua. We would love it if Instagram allowed the integration you're describing.

very cheap compared to competitors.

Pros

Ease of use. Hands down, it allowed non techies to actually create a mobile app. It's easier than drag and drop type of templates and the fact that it's all boxed in and within a certain templated frame makes it easy. There's no design / html or any knowledge to be had if you want to build an app. Some of our people are in the UK and they were still able to hear back from support fairly early their time. Support felt like it was humans doing it not just a ticket system.
