Maturing right along - Happy to purchase.

I bought this rather unsure if it would be a great choice for my community and I'm already happy with the improvements they are making. It's a great value for the low risk. Very comparable to Circle.

Best app for our use case

I used build on scenes to make a custom portal for our institute. After trying Heartbeat, Tribe and a few others, this was the best for us especially because it allows us to embed HTML pages.

We didn't end up using most of the page features as most of our pages were our own html embeds, but this works great for our use case!

Just what I needed

This community platform is just what I needed. I am a speaker, author and content creator and tried multiple platforms, but none really "clicked" with me other than this one.

What I love:

- Being able to show all my upcoming talks and appearances on an event calendar connected to the community

- having multiple calendar channels. Most platforms only have one. This way I can separate my live-podcasting schedule from my offline events or upcoming webinars.

- I write and give talks about multiple topics and can now finally put them together under one roof thanks to sub-communities (one for each topic)

- I mainly used course platforms before. Being able to share articles, videos and other resources that are not part of a course lesson is just what I need for my new membership business model

- Stage channels so I can take my presentations virtual without having to deal with an external platform

- The ease of use and mobile-first approach. Even though I can't afford my own app, using my community platform in my mobile browser is so enjoyable.

You deserve to have some reviews on this deal page so I'm happy to be the first to write one. I'm so excited by all the possibilities your platform offers!

What I'm looking forward to:

- Multi-language support, I can't launch my community until it is in German for members

- To connect my German Stripe account and set up the shop (thanks for letting me know this will be able sometime this week)

- The LMS features coming next spring

- Support for full guest access so that guests can read my "blog channel" and search through public resources.

- The "metaverse" channel. I don't really know much about it, but it sounds exciting

What I'm missing / having issues with

1. Event calendar

- When i choose custom location in the calendar and type in a physical address (like for my speaking engagement next Wednesday) it still tries to turn it into a link. Maybe offer an option for custom location, to indicate if it is a link or physical address.

- I would like comments for events so people can ask questions before or give feedback afterwards, also maybe some space to attach slides, share a link to buy tickets (for physical events) or post the recording.

2. Media channels

- I would like an option for some media channels to not be chronological and not display dates - like my getting started guide. So I could re-order the posts in the order that people should work through them.

- I do not use YouTube for my video hosting but another provider, would like to be able to embed my pre-existing videos.

3. Stage channels

- Ability to record the stage channel, especially for me to download and put the recording on YouTube or my podcast.

4. General

- Would like to add descriptions for sub-communities and channels, especially for new members so they know what goes where and what a certain group is exactly about.

Customer support needs improvement

I tried out the app, and it seems like a great way to build a community. However, I found the loading speed to be quite slow. Additionally, the storage restrictions seem very tight. I’ve used a few different community apps, and I haven’t seen any restrictions on storage. This is a big issue for me, and I might refund and continue with my existing ones since there’s no restriction on storage. I hope they'll listen to the feedback and make changes to the storage system. Lastly, the support team has been very slow to respond to questions or concerns, and this is alarming. We understand that there may be issues that are out of their control, but the lack of communication is worrying. We hope that they can get things sorted out soon, as we rely on their support. Overall, it looks like a good app, but there are definitely some areas that could use improvement.

@LTD: @LTD: Hi, I believe the restriction on Storage is primarily because of the Lifetime Deal. I'm sure there will be minute fee for extended storage (much lesser than the current SaaS apps)

Great potentiel but red flags remains

Pro :

* One of the best community manager with a lot of functionalities to come, on the paper.

* I like the UI easy to manage

* I love the money coin and others incentive functions

Cons :

* After 1 month with kind but too slow support impossible to simply connect my domain, event it works well out of Scenes No explaination, no real help. the last message was You have well set but it doesn't work...Thank U but that's why I contact the support, no?

* Multilingual is still without date of release...

* No LMS on development only brainstorm step on roadmap

* Shop can't be used if your are not in India because stripe is set only for india

* Difficult to find a real activ community working everyday with Scenes

I think in 1 year, it could be the wonderful community they claim to be today...If better support

Finally I will refund even if I would have really wanted to develop with it...So sad!

Hey there. I really like what I see. But I have some more questions before buying:

1. What means Learning Management System included? What exactly is included here? Video uploads? A course feature with embeded videos (like circle.so has it)?

2. Do your events have rsvp? And can I add a link to GoogleMeet or just Zoom=

3. Can I bulk-import students and add them to private circles?

4. What is a subcommunity? A new community with a complete new name, spaces and so on? Or are those subspaces?

Thanks a lot for a quick reply, then I will go for it.

Hello

1. I don't speak English, I only read it, I only speak Spanish. Is there any other way to access the 14 day trial without reserving a demo call.

2. In the case of directory functionality. This could be viewed by people who are not part of the community and with a search engine.

3. Members can define if their appearance in the directory is public or private

I've recieved access to the platform and am reviewing it currently. Where is the access to the mobile application for mobile devices? Or is it a PWA that should be downloaded? Can I change the name and domain of my community in the future? Is it possible to deactivate certain features, such as the coin or lms so I can roll out to my community when it's ready?

Is LMS included in Tier 3?

If yes, is it in some less capacity than tier 4?

@Gaurav: Hi there, no, that won't be the case. It will be the same thing.

Hello :)

Will it be DGSVO / GDPR data compliant? This is very important for EU (European Countries), please put it on the road map for the future. It will bring you for sure more customers from those countries, if this is working.

Thank you
