GoBrunch
I'm not even going to hold you long! I don't do reviews as much as I should. But I had to do one for GoBrunch (GB) and give them 5 tacos plus a bag of chips with queso and guac on the side.
GB is one of the best, if not THE best software I've purchased here on AppSumo. I bought the highest tier and don't regret it one single bit!
The opportunities you can do with your GoBrunch spaces is endless. I'm always thinking of new and undiscovered way I can use it beyond being my replacement for Zoom. Yes I use it traditionally for one on one meetings, but I also use it for co-working sessions, private digital parties, a meet up spot for after my Facebook group live sessions, classes, product showcasing, workshops, games and more! I can do this for public and/or private spaces or rooms in a workspace. You can build your email list for simply having people register to get into your room or keep it public and just add a form for them to fill in when they get in there.
I can easily share my screen, and it is large and clear enough for other viewers. Which is an issue I had with another app I purchased in AppSumo that I wish I could return now. I can control the mic and camera settings for users. We can even move individuals to our other rooms all at the organizer/moderators control levels! And that's a new feature that just came out and I've used it countless times now! I'm sure y'all can relate to how hard it is sometimes to get multiple users (of various ages and technical skill) to do one thing like go to another website page and guide them where to go. theres always at least one sheep thats lost from the herd. With the move attendees feature I can do a step for them and all they have to do is opt in and they're moved to a new room.
The ability to broadcast to all rooms no matter if they are in the same space with you or not is amazing! Just think of it like PA system when you were in school or in a store. And you can turn that feature on and off when needed.
The owner, Richard, and his team, plus the community members I met through the World Expo now my Brunch Buddies are definitely what makes using this software all the more the best product to get.
Since the day I signed up, Ive had easy and direct communications with Richard. At first you think oh this is the typical communications you receive when you sign up . But when I responded to that email, I was surprised and excited to see that Richard responded back to me, and pretty quickly at that! He actually took the time to read what I said my use was for and to set up a meeting to discuss it further and help me out along the way and demo the software and other spaces for use cases. He event went over creating backgrounds with me and tips for how to best implement and onboard my community members.
Within a month or so I was creating unimaginable spaces and my community loved it.
And whenever I'm in need of help, Richard and the GoBrunch team is there. The customer service is top tier!
They are constantly interacting with us Brunchers to update the software with features and components we want!
The software is easy to use, and doesn't take much but watching a few videos, and trying things out yourself. And looking up all the videos and reviews on YouTube of other people's spaces and uses definitely helped influence my purchasing decision.
If you're looking for something to replace zoom or to hold digital workshops/classes or just hold space for community members you may have acquired through social media or your business, then this is something you want to pick up.
As a big dreamer, I would suggest getting tier 3 just so you can have well enough seats for any given event you're having, but you could definitely do well with tier 2.
I look forward to what's in-store in the future for GoBrunch and I'm glad to have a ticket for a seat on that rocketship! Cause these no doubt in my mind that they can't become a top contender and business/household name brand!
