Reelika S
Coach
5.0

Reelika S.: Hi, I am Reelika from Design Dream Lifestyle. I'm a business strategist and coach, and I would give Basecamp five stars. Before using Basecamp, we really were just using Microsoft Excel spreadsheets, but the problem we ran into was the collaboration and the teamwork. Basecamp allowed us to collaborate virtually with our team from across the globe and to get the projects done. We chose Basecamp because we were looking for a software that would allow us to collaborate to work across the globe on different projects. For example, content management, virtual workshops, in-person workshops, and that software allowed us to spread out all the tasks while also keeping an eye on what's already done and what still needs to be accomplished. When we started with Basecamp, we took a look at the tutorials. And I have to say they were very straightforward, very easy to follow. There really is no room to make any mistakes. And you don't need a high-tech knowledge for that, so anybody can really use this. If you're thinking about using Basecamp, give it a try because if you have a team, especially virtually, that has different projects going on and you need to delegate, and you want to keep eye on what's already done and what still needs to be accomplished, that is a really good tool for that.

Neal G
Yoga Teacher, Web Developer
5.0

Neal: Hi, my name's Neal. I'm a website developer and a yoga teacher, and I use Nimbus Web regularly. And I give it a five star review. And for more information, click below. Before Nimbus, I was using a little Word app or Google Sheets or Google Docs to write notes about, for myself to remember. Sometimes I'd use a notepad on my phone or on my computer. And there was all these disparate notes all over the place, and it was hard to bring them all together. I also used Microsoft to do lists, but the features weren't really useful. So now that I've got Nimbus Web, I have all these features in a design that I really love, and it's becoming much more useful for me. Why I choose Nimbus Web and why I continue to choose Nimbus Web is because the design. I love the UI designer of the app. It makes it really simple for me to find the tasks that I want, to find the notes that I want, and to add those tasks. And I can do that either on my laptop, and I can do that really easily on my phone. So it's bringing all those things together and making it really useful for me to continue to do my work, and to keep on track with the tasks that I've got to keep on track of. To get started with Nimbus Web, it was the easiest of all the apps I probably ever have used. It was really clear that onboarding was simple, and it was very intuitive to use. And it has been, and that's one of the reasons why I really love it. I've tried other apps and other task managing apps, and they were just really complicated. And because of that reason, I didn't really get into it. Whereas with Nimbus Web, the design is really well thought out, and I actually really love using it. If you are considering Nimbus Web as an app that you might use, I highly recommend that you give it a go. I don't think you'll be disappointed in any way. It's simple, it's intuitive, but it's got lots of great features. The screen capture feature is really useful. The task features are really useful. The documents are already beautifully designed. Yeah, I highly, highly recommend it. I wouldn't do without it.
