Signup Zone Reviews
Pros
Thanks for amazing tool. We wouldn't be with out it and recommend it to anyone needing a professional and fool proof rostering system.
Sign Up Zone is a wonderful asset for the team at LOVLIST and for our users. Its clean design and clear instructions and demos allow users to set up groups in no time.
Signup Zone is one of those (few) products that makes you wonder "Why didn't anyone think of that before. It is so obviously a good idea, and its a pleasure to use.
Using Signup Zone to organise our volunteers for the school fair has been a huge improvement. It looks great, it's easy to use and it does exactly what we need.
Cons
Inability to send automated email reminders to volunteers. Archiving of reports for future use could be simpler.
No more emailing the schedule back and forth from work to home and remembering to update any changes.
Everyone can see what everyone else has signed up for, so you don't end up at a BBQ with 20 salads and no meat.
I'm using it as the co-ordinator to get volunteer names for our class stall.
"Basic and Effective Volunteer Signups"
Overall: Overall experience has been excellent. The Signup Zone platform is simple to use and integrates nicely into our website. The visual layout is clean and allows us to easily check volunteer signup status at a quick glance.
Pros: Ease of use for both administrators and users. Simple and uncluttered visual layout.
Cons: Inability to send automated email reminders to volunteers. Archiving of reports for future use could be simpler.
"Immediately useful"
Overall: Signup Zone is one of those (few) products that makes you wonder "Why didn't anyone think of that before?". It is so obviously a good idea, and its a pleasure to use. For a family BBQ, I can organise who will bring what by email - no app required. But once you have more that 4-5 people involved, signup zone is brilliant. It is quite like a piece of paper that everyone can look at and write on at the same time. The organiser can set up jobs to be done and people can sign up to do do those jobs, bring those things, etc. Everyone can see what everyone else has signed up for, so you don't end up at a BBQ with 20 salads and no meat. Sometimes you want to assign people to a job that has to be done each week - the organiser can do that so its not editable by everyone.
Pros: Simple - does one thing extremely well. Easy - so easy to use you're barely aware that software is involved - instead you focus on what you're doing (which, after all, is the point)
Cons: I love Signup Zone and I have nothing bad to say about it.
"Has simplified a complex job!!"
Overall: With over 100 volunteers to keep track of monthly in our church Children's Ministry, this allows each volunteer to view the schedule without having to log in or remember a password. We keep it first name only for that reason. But anyone can update their availability at anytime, even when another person is looking at the schedule. No more emailing the schedule back and forth from work to home and remembering to update any changes!! YAY!! It does not notify the administrator or volunteers about changes or reminders yet (maybe someday) but it is worth it even so!! The developers are very responsive to ideas and are quick to offer help when needed. GREAT TOOL! I am very thankful for it.
Pros: That there is no need to login--just click the link and it appears! Administrators can lock sheets that need to be saved (such as a template) This helps when there is a regular pattern of volunteering which may change week to week. Saves time to set up new months by copying template.
Cons: I do wish change notifications could be e-mailed to administrators. And maybe even reminders to those who are on schedule.
"Hard to beat if you need a simple but flexible and easy-to-use signup tool"
Overall: We are loving signup.zone for coordinating volunteers to help shelter and feed temporarily homeless families in our church building for a week, four times per year. We built the signup forms once and then every three months we clear out the old data (after saving the tabular reports for our records) and re-use the forms for a new signup, with different dates. Simple! We pay a small annual fee in order to retain a custom URL, but it's totally worth it. In short, signup.zone is a superb web tool and head and shoulders above everything else we tried. The developers have obviously put a lot of thought into user needs, simplicity of design, and functionality, and it shows. They also responded right away to our suggestions for enhancements. What's not to like?
Pros: simple, flexible, easy to set up and maintain, no ads, easy for volunteers to use without training.
Cons: Almost no complaints-- it would be nice to be able to upload a custom logo as opposed to the 'canned' options, but that is far from being a deal-breaker. There is also currently no option for a reminder email to volunteers on the day(s) they signed up for a task (although an email does go out on signup), but in truth we haven't found we missed that feature.
"SIGN UP ZONE makes my life easier"
Overall: Sign Up zone has become an integral part of my life. I use it to organise holiday play dates for my kids (make a 2 week calendar and ask friends to fill in their preferred date and time), shared custody arrangements with my ex, dinner dates with friends, camping weekends and school reading groups. I have even used it as a central point from which to share and update data with others for a research project.
Pros: - Users can access and update information without having to sign into the website - the screens are clear and user friendly without distracting information and images
Cons: Text in the table cells cannot be varied, eg. made bold
