### "Using Tidy HQ for volunteering activities"

July 25, 2019

4.0

The software on the whole does what we want it to and it is effective for inviting group members to attend our conservation tasks.

Pros

The software is reasonably simple to use and, as we are a volunteer group, it is free!

Cons

It is not clear on the first page where to click in order to get into the booking process.

### "Use it only on simple meaaures, but collates everything so serves the purpose."

May 8, 2018

3.0

Pros

Menu outlay is very clear and extremely easy to navigate around. Easy to sign in or log in when opening up the application.

Cons

That I have to scroll through teams from previous years that are not relevant to get to my own.

### "Excellent software that really helps out a not-for -profit sports group."

May 11, 2018

5.0

Pros

Ability to communicate with the group effectively sending group emails. Helps keep our organisation looking professional and stores data in one place. Great for planning tasks to be completed and assigning these.

Cons

Currently limited to one hundred email contacts. Doesn't always upload the attachments so often have to photograph these and then upload that way.

### "OGA of WA "

August 5, 2019

3.0

Overall TidyHQ is OK, and I expect it will develop its functionality and improve its ease of use over time.

Pros

OGA is a not-for-profit sporting association. It uses TidyHQ for communications to and from its 35 -40 members, storing documents and recording financial data. TidyHQ provides these basic functions in a cost-effective way.

Cons

TidyHQ seems a bit clunky in the ease of forming email groups. It is frustrating having a monthly limit on emails when it considers each recipient of a group email to be in the counting of the monthly usage.

### "Kinda cool, but with some issues"

March 4, 2016

3.0

The 10MB size limit for attachments to email communications is a joke. Our organization is a 49-piece musical ensemble, and our business requires that we be able to share mp3 files with other members. The current size limit requires us to send emails outside of TidyHQ, which is contrary to the purpose of using the site in the first place. PLEASE increase the attachment allowance to a size that is useful! 10MB in this day and age is pretty much useless except for sending text files and PDF's, and that information is more easily sent in the body of an email anyway.

July 9, 2019

Hi Lee, Thanks for this feedback. We increased attachments to 25Mb on the paid plans but that's as far as we can push it and falls into line with Gmail etc. I'd then point to our Storage solution or even Dropbox to just post links to the MP3's. Thanks again for the review! Cheers, Isaak CEO and Founder

### "Great software"

July 17, 2019

4.0

Great for keeping bank reconciled

Pros

It’s very easy to use & great for our netball club

Cons

Needs better reporting systems and the ability to click on a figure from reports to see what transactions relate to the figures etc

Reason for choosing TidyHQ

Was recommended by a footy club and being a netball club we figured we would give it a go!

### "Makes running our club very easy"

May 11, 2018

5.0

Pros

It is great to be able to put all the clubs information in one accessible spot. The treasurers information can be easily seen along with member details and club meeting minutes.

Cons

We have run a few events with non members paying an entry fee. I don't like tidy club taking a percentage of all these payments. It adds for our non profit organisation.

### "Good to have a club management and web site all in a single package"

May 11, 2018

5.0

Our club can go there to find out what is happening, as with any reputable web page, and the site also handles club administration, membership data, and finances too.

Pros

It does both categories well -- manages club dues, membership statuses, club finances (handled by our Treasurer), and club "web presence" tasks like promotion, information, events (handled by our Webmaster). Reasonably good tools accessible from the Dashboard.

Cons

Only one Page per Menu Item -- wish we had ability of a user to select a particular page via drowdown menu or something like that. Significant learning curve for some functions, but once learned it makes sense. Not well suited for storing a photo gallery with more than a small number of photos, as all links have to be selected individually per title/thumbnail, which takes forever (but we store our photos on Flickr and link them from the web page).

### "Review of TidyHQ"

August 7, 2019

3.0

Record management and communication.

Pros

Good for managing club documents and membership records.

Cons

Email is a bit difficult to use. It can get a bit annoying that we have to enter a contact before sending someone an email. Also - the ability to customise webpages is quite limited.

Reason for choosing TidyHQ

Good presentation by the rep.Reasonably competitively priced.

### "Easy, quick and simple"

May 8, 2018

5.0

Pros

Super easy to use and to have multiple admins makes everything so much easier. Layout works very well and is straightforward to follow as a normal user. Admin functions for creating an event are very well thought out.

Cons

Sometimes the menu system can be confusing. Finding the right place to change settings can also be tricky at times

### "Our national body decided that all states should use TidyHQ for membership and Xero for accounting. "

December 5, 2017

3.0

The main benefit of moving to TidyHQ was the ability of members to edit their contact details

Pros

The biggest advantage over the old membership system is the ability of members to edit their own contact details.

Cons

There is almost no history recorded so it is not possible to get statistics on such things as membership growth over time.

July 17, 2019

4.0

It was already set up by prior members and we are having to work out changes to have it function more efficiently - once this is done my opinion may increase for the better

Pros

For the most part it is easy to use.

Cons

The need to change templates especially in meeting section

### "The best option for school P&Cs and small-medium organisations"

July 24, 2019

5.0

As a school P&C our aim to improve our governance and help with communications and succession management.

Pros

It's well-built and being actively developed. Existing features are clearly thought out and very useful. Document storage is basic but serviceable. Online selling is a bonus! The option to use a custom domain name for URL and email is impressive.

Cons

Documents can't be renamed once uploaded (you have to rename locally and upload again).

Reason for choosing TidyHQ

TidyHQ was most aligned to our requirements and a clear choice. iMIS was ridiculously expensive and Wild Apricot seemed to be geared more at membership management.

May 15, 2018

4.0

Pros

The asthetic is great, highly customisable and intuitive. Get a lot of functionality with the free version of the software.

July 8, 2019

Thanks for the review Kishore! We agree that the communication section could do with some love. We will be moving towards a more collaborative inbox so a bit different to Google mail but we're also toying with a better Gmail integration as well. Thanks for the feedback :)

### "Very useful software . "

May 8, 2018

4.0

Pros

Love that using the software has everything organised for my event very cleanly. Appreciate the professional look for my clients when they book!

Cons

The website is glitchy and hard to select the box I want to write in when I set up events . Can be difficult to re arrange ticket order , change details of ticket or select the right people to send too. Something in the page is tricky to get it to click where and when I need it to.

Pros

I like to use Tidy HQ as its easy to email important information to members. Its also a great place to type in Meeting minutes and to be able to email job tasks to members

Cons

I personally have not found any cons for this program yet. if I did have to pick something the cost would be my con as small clubs don't have money to use as they need to put back into the members equipment

### "Missing a forum"

September 27, 2016

4.0

We wanted to use TidyHQ for managing our shared property (about 20 distinct owner's), we loved the people directory, the mailing list function, the storage area, the calendar. We miss two features : - A forum where we can chat on various subjects in an organized manner - A wiki like feature in order to present things to people in the way we want to and/or to store/publish information the way we want Thanks for the great work, Jean-Marc

Hi Jean-Marc, thank you for the review. We once had forum functionality but folks stopped using it as Facebook and LinkedIn became more prevalent. People are using our Pages App as an intranet or Wiki which you might find useful? Thanks again for the review!
