Pros:

One of the best features of SignUp Genius for churches and non-profits is it's price.

Cons:

The only complaint I have about SignUpGenius, and this is just me being picky, is the fact that you have to login to use it anytime someone sends a schedule out.

SignUpGenius Review from a Teacher

5.0 2 years ago

Comments: We use the free version in our small school and it works great!

Pros:

The SignUpGenius is instrumental in our schools success of always having a teacher/administrator at each of our events. Thoughout our school year it is easy to forget something we had signed up to help with and that means that the students will suffer. With SignUpGenius we sign up for dates and it will email us reminders. Also you can go in and look at the calendar in case something comes up and you can change availability dates (If its not too close to the sign up date). It's also all in one spot.

Cons:

Sometimes things come up last minute and you can't change you dates. But other than that it works like it should and we have very few scheduling problems/headaches.

Hi Rebecca, Thank you for your kind review. I'm so glad to hear that we've been able to help your school! Please know that volunteers can change their sign up at any time as long as the creator has not locked the page. Locking a sign up page is a paid feature. We offer several options that allow the volunteers to change their sign up. If you have questions on how this is done or how to lock your page, please email [email protected] to reach our support team. We are happy to answer your questions!

Great tool for volunteer registration and engagement

4.0 11 months ago

Comments: It's a great tool when recruiting groups for an event. It keeps track of who is scheduled for which shift, if there are more than one, and provides reminders to volunteers in intervals--one week out, 2 days out and day-of. If you need to organize a group for a team effort, SignUp Genius makes it very easy to do.

Pros:

I really like the ease of use for my volunteers to sign up. I work with a lot of volunteers that are retired and don't spend lots of time on the computer, and it's very easy for them to sign up. They like that they don't have to create an account or provide any other information to sign up beyond their email address for reminders. We source volunteers about 14-16 times per year, and this helps that process to happen seamlessly every time.

Cons:

The ads. At the end when volunteers sign up, they are bombarded with these pop up adds for various vendors. Once you close the window, another pops up and then another and another. You have to click through 3 or 4 before it goes away. Not a fan.

Volunteer Sign Up Management

3.0 8 months ago

Pros:

SignUpGenius is a useful tool in procuring and managing volunteers for specific needs. I like the ability to allow more than one volunteer to sign up for each date - the slots feature is helpful! I also appreciate the option to have email reminders sent to volunteers prior to their commitment. This saves a lot of time, and allows me to rest assured that my volunteers will show up! The forms are relatively easy to create, duplicate, and send. My volunteers also find the signing up process to be quick and easy.

Cons:

There are times when using SignUpGenius that the ads can get in the way. This is, I imagine, only on the free version. Without doing a little digging, it can be difficult to set up the form initially - use takes some getting used to.

SignUpGenius is the best platform for organizing events!

4.0 4 months ago

Pros:

What I liked most about SignUpGenius was how simple it was to organize events and get people to sign up for things. It made coordinating group activities, like parties or volunteer opportunities, super easy because everyone could see what was needed and pick what they wanted to do. SignUpGenius is the best virtual medium for allowing people to contribute together. I have used this myself many times to organize class parties or assignments. In the education field, this is the preferred platform and is not only used by me, but also the PTA, our school, and the entire district.

Cons:

What I liked least about SignUpGenius was that the interface can feel a bit cluttered, making it hard to find what you need sometimes. Some of the options are a bit confusing. For example, when I need to make multiple entries it can be confusing choosing the correct way to do it because there are several ways to make an entry. It is more confusing if I need to have more than one sign up for a certain category. It would be nice if it was more user friendly.

Great for Non-Profits

4.0 last year

Comments: Overall it's a great tool that any organization that uses sign ups. It can accommodate a lot of different types of signups which makes it very flexible. I would definitely recommend.

Pros:

Our not for profit group had endless issues with volunteer tracking and recruiting. We'd use spreadsheets and word documents and it was just painful. So we started using SUG and many of our issues went away. The single best thing is that it is simple for our volunteers to sign up which is the most important thing. Our admin was also able to learn it fairly easily.

Cons:

The free version has lots of ads so that is somewhat annoying. But the biggest weakness of SUG is the user interface. It's very old and antiquated. This isn't a huge negative but something I think the company could fix if they tried.

Need Tech Support

4.0 2 months ago

Comments: I'm unable to use it and don't know why and don't know where to ask.

Pros:

It's a great tool for our Board to manage shifts at bowling tournaments. We have about 20 volunteers who sign up for different volunteer roles.

Cons:

For some reason when our manager emails SignUp Genius to our volunteers, I do not receive the email and am therefore unable to sign up for shifts. The person responsible for setting up the event in SignUp Genius has verified my email address but doesn't know where to go for technical support.

A great volunteer mangagement tool!

5.0 last year

Comments: Overall, I would highly recommend SignUpGenius for anyone looking for a cheap (we use the free version), effective, and simple way to recruit volunteers!

Pros:

My experience with SignUpGenius has mostly been related to volunteer management. Specifically, I have used it to arrange volunteers to bring meals to various church functions. It has been incredibly easy to use - not just for me, but for those who sign up to bring a meal. The system even sends reminders to those who have signed up, which saves me time as the volunteer coordinator!

Cons:

SignUpGenius has been effective in the purposes for which I have used it - which is primarily volunteer management. That being said, it'd be great if there were not so many advertisements on the site. But this is the cost of utilizing the free plan.

5.0 last year

Pros:

The ease of navigating the website for fundraisers , meal trains and volunteer opportunities .

Cons:

Sometimes it doesn’t update live time. So if two people are navigating the sign up , it won’t show right away that someone already signed up. However it’s not a huge deal, It’s still worth it .

Helpful tool for volunteer management

Pros:

I have to coordinate many volunteers and plan meetings for us. Not everyone is on Outlook so it is challenging to know what windows of time work for us to meet, plan and serve. This tool really helps resolve that!

The cost barrier is the biggest challenge for me.

SignUpGenius Review

5.0 last year

Pros:

Creating an event through SignUpGenius is very easy, I have used this for personal and family events to track attendance. I have also used the app to respond to attendance requests whether it be for volunteering or required attendance at an event.

Cons:

Nothing, as the app meets my needs as a developer of an event and to respond to an event request.

Comments: I use SignUpGenius with my church groups a lot. I'm normallynot the administrator but the information about the events and attendees is helpful.

Pros:

The email is easy to navigate and helps me remember what I have committed to.

Cons:

The ads to create other request/lists are annoying. Most of the time I am working on multiple tasks. It's a pain to have to stop and read another question when all I wanted to do was confirm or deny my participation in an event. I don't need to know anything more about others.

Easy Volunteer Managment

5.0 last year

Comments: Definitely will use again for future events.

Pros:

SignUp Genius allows us to send out event information and details so we can get volunteers signed up and ensure all areas of the volunteer areas are filled.

Cons:

If there is a slot that has not been signed up for, a reminder alert would be nice to remind admin that there is a vacant spot.
