Owner Design Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "DakBoard for your Smart Work/Home Dashboard" July 13, 2022 4.0 I love DakBoard for showing my work calendar on my screen. I integrated ToDoIst and can see the tasks I have to do and I use the touchscreen to check them off. Google photos rotate in the background and then my exteriors cameras can be accessed by a link I added to my screen. I love DakBoars. It’s so easy to use and very beautiful designs with a lot of functionality. Pros First. DakBoard is beautiful and has great templates to choose from. You can have background photos and then add different style of calendars from big monthly, weekly, daily, and more. I like that you can integrate your google calendars, Apple calendar, and more to the calendar. There are many other functions that will integrate and you can add like ToDoIst, google photos, weather, and a lot more. Cons I don’t like the small selection of templates to choose from. They need more of the beautiful templates. Alternatives considered [NoviSign](https://www.capterra.com/p/128501/NoviSign-Digital-Signage/) Reason for choosing DAKboard RiseVision was geared towards school and higher education. Not enough business applications. NoviSign I trialed but was harder to use with less features. Review Source Ian F.

Everything was laid out nice and easy to find. I was hoping for a free trial to test. Turned out in the end the display we needed to use with DAKboard wouldn't work. But that was not a fault with DAKboard Pros It looked to do everything I was needing, which was mainly display a live calendar with schedule. It also offered many features I didn't need at the time. Cons DAKboard did not work with the display I was needing to use it on. Also the main feature I was hoping for was Pay only. Alternatives considered [Teamup](https://www.capterra.com/p/151724/teamup/) Reason for choosing DAKboard We did not decide to use DAKboard. We are using Teamup currently. Switched from [MangoApps](https://www.capterra.com/p/131314/MangoApps/) Mango Display did not work the way we needed it.

The large, clear 22‑inch IPS screen makes calendars easy to manage and not forget about your appointments. Cons I find it unfair that users are pushed into a paid subscription just to get a normal refresh rate. This limitation isn’t tied to extra hardware, optional software, even a separately developed add-on or any real added cost for the company. It feels like an artificial restriction designed purely to upsell. On top of that, the meaning of “All integrations included” in the paid Essentials plan is unclear. There’s no transparent explanation of which integrations are excluded from the free basic plan, even after paying around $600 for the device itself (which is way more than 50 dollars). For a premium-priced product, the lack of clarity and the paywalling of basic functionality is disappointing. Review Source Response from DAKboard January 20, 2026 Thank you for sharing your feedback. We’re glad you found the 22-inch display helpful to stay organized. We believe you’ll find DAKboard is very price-competitive among digital signage solutions, especially given the extensive features and ongoing cloud infrastructure required to maintain real-time updates. We appreciate your point regarding plan transparency, though many of our integrations are listed on our pricing page, we will work to make this clearer for all users. We’re committed to providing a high-value experience and hope you continue to enjoy the utility of your DAKboard. Please reach out to our support team with any questions. CR Cory R.

Pros system is reliable, easy to manage remotely, and straightforward to set up for basic needs, with a user-friendly drag-and-drop editor. Cons The system was not recommended for heavy video or multimedia content, as streaming could be choppy and performance was reportedly not smooth. Review Source Response from DAKboard December 9, 2025 Thank you for the review, Cory! We appreciate your feedback and support. RO Rhodri O. IT Technician Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Great Product for Effective Digital Signage" May 2, 2024 5.0 Pros Easy and quick to set up, we use Dakboard for our internal work calendars and ticket system for easy glanceability of ongoing work. Cons Content is occasionally difficult to get to scale as desired if you make changes to a template, the preview doesn't always match as is displayed on the physical screen.

IT Director Automotive Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "An easy to use system good for dynamic content" December 18, 2023 5.0 Overall I liked DAKboard and would recommend it to those that would like dynamic content available on their digital signage. I would not recommend this solution for lots of video or multimedia content. Pros The features like local weather, integration with many different calendars, integration with multiple photo sources, and configuring these types of dynamic content into designs you configure are Dakboard screens greatest benefits. The system is reliable and easy to manage remotely. Cons The per slide pricing of Dakboard is undesirable to me and if you have a lot of content, this can quickly become more costly than some of the competitors. Video playback was not smooth in my experience due to the system streaming all multimedia content from the internet connection.

Director of Technology Religious Institutions Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Easy to setup and everything updates automatically." August 8, 2019 5.0 Pros My kids were constantly asking me, "What are we doing tomorrow?", "Are we going anywhere?", "Is it going to rain?". I thought, I can just pull up this information on my phone, surely there's a way it can just be displayed on a screen somewhere for them to see. Yep, there is, and there are several options out there to do it. I picked DAKboard because it looked easy and had a free version. I tried it out on my computer and it worked great, so I went ahead and bought the "DAKboard CPU" which is a raspberry pi mini computer preloaded to run DAKboard on a screen. That came with 6 months of their premium service. The premium service has a bunch more customization options that were fun to play with. The only one we really ended up using was having our own Google Photos album as background images. After the 6 months ran out we went back to a free background of some nice landscapes. So for several months now, we have been using DAKboard to display the date, time, weather, sunrise/sunset, our family calendar, and the most recent memory verses using an RSS feed from our church's website. Cons I think the only hiccups have been issues with our own internet service. I've been really hoping to see integration with Life360 so the kids can stop asking, "Where's mom?", "When will mom be home?" Several of us have requested that feature and we've heard they have been trying to connect with Life360 about it. But, DAKboard is actively adding new features on a regular basis.

Managing Partner Law Practice Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Digital Calendar Display for Office" December 5, 2023 4.0 Pros DAKboard provides a solution to an irritating problem I was running into every day: constantly having to click around to get to my Outlook calendar to see what I had going on that day or for scheduling upcoming meetings. I'm using DAKboard with an iPad as a dedicated display, and it's immensely helpful to be able to look at several days of upcoming events in list format. Cons I think the user interface for setting up the boards could be a little easier to use. Additional features for the lower pricing tiers would be helpful and I think fair for the price point. I also wasn't that excited about the suggested templates, so more visually appealing options and/or an AI assistant would be a great feature.

Pros ease of use and deployment within a short time frame. Cons resolution settings, sometimes I get some bugs and resolution is off, so I need to reset the device to get newly adapted to the screen again. Review Source SP Scott P. Critical Systems Public Safety Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "DO not use" April 19, 2023 1.0 Interface is clunky and not intuitive. Support page is poorly laid out and hard to navigate. Live support is non-existent. Unless you want to spend hours fighting with a poorly designed and supported product find an other option Pros If it was usable as advertised it would be nice Cons Device does not work as advertised. No live support options. Review Source Response from DAKboard April 20, 2023 Hi Scott, We sincerely apologize for the wifi issues you are experiencing with your device. We have reviewed the correspondence with the support team and have provided more detailed instructions to resolve. We will continue to escalate your issue and work with you to resolution. Thank you for your feedback. JH Jennifer H. Co.

I had so much trouble that it is hard to say something good. Cons The fact that it would not work properly and when you tried to reach out for support there was not. The company made it very difficult to get help. Notice they do not have a phone number to call. They don't want to help. Reason for choosing DAKboard We thought it would provide a better easier option but we were very mistaken. It was actually more work and issue. Review Source Similar Products Featured
