Amazing Platform!

This is one of the best deals I have ever gotten here at Appsumo! Interface is clean and modern, and it does what it promises. It will help you for sure to look way more professional and impress your clients/students.

The only 2 things that I would add to make it completely perfect are:

1. Ability to add "lower thirds" or "inlays" like in the news to maybe highlight the chapters or parts of your presentation as well as objects or grafics, maybe even a ticker at the bottom, this alone would make it a killer app.

2. Ability to record entire presentation and use it as an evergreen webinar and give it that functionality like the app EverWebinar.

Thank you!!!

Thanks for the positive review vendedordigital24!

This feedback is fantastic for us, and will definitely help shape our platform in the future.

In terms of layout and functionality, we're looking at ways to optimise screen space and continue to add value to users
And with recordings- yes soon you'll be able to video record sessions which we hope will be able to give additional flexibility to the...

Promising App

Crikle has a bright future.
Pros:
- The app has a clean user interface and easy to use.
- Presentation can be shared and looks great. I really like the full screen mode
- Video recording, cname is on the roadmap

What is missing:
- granular settings on host users
- Option to disable Book A follow-up call button on microsite. Not everyone will be using the app for sales
- More inbuilt options when creating a slide. Currently its too basic..Only one text block and I cant setup different text allignments
- Embed video on presentation slide.
-whiteboard

I uploaded a video on a slide but while playing the video during a presentation the sound of the video gets echoed.

Overall its a great tool and I think it will get better in the months to come. It has been designed for sales but they should also adabt it for elearning (its a huge market)

Grab at least 2 codes before the deal ends

Thank you for your review Dwconsult.

Great to see you've gotten value out of Crikle so far and you're enjoying the platform.

These suggestions are fantastic and the team are constantly looking at how to further bring value to platform and many of these ideas have already been requested/on the roadmap.

Thanks for the continued support.

Excellent if you do the same sales presentations over and over

If you are using presentations in your sales process - like if you hold a lot of sales meetings online where you present the same thing over and over again to new prospects, then this is great! You can reuse the same presentation over and over again.
If you have a team you can share the presentations within the team to make sure everyone have updated presentation material when changes occur for pricing etc.

On my first try I liked how easy it was to get started, but I was then put of a little because I ran into problems when using an iOS tablet. This was likely because I used Chrome which does not always play well with iOS.
On my second try I was using PC, iOS tablet and phone. On both iOS devices I got a prompt saying that it works better in Safari, when I tried to open the meeting in Chrome.
So I did as I was told, and did not experience the same problem as in my first try. This made me decide to upgrade to access team functionality!

I find Crikle to be really useful for holding professional looking sales presentations, but it could be used for other things as well - like onboarding or other type of education, since you can have up to 50 participants!

Finally some feedback to help Crikle get even better:
* When the "salesman" select to record the audio, and the client reject. The salesman have no 2nd chance to ask again - So if the client missclick, they would have to reinitiate the meeting to record it.
* I clicked to send the presentation to the client after the meeting. It ended up in the junk folder. So please, SMTP would be great so we can send from our own email and take on the responsibility for the reputation of the sending domain.
* As the main account owner, it would be good to be able to see the bookings of my team members. Also to see statistics on how many meetings they (and the client) actually participate in. To see if they are underbooked, missing meetings etc.

Hi Marco,

Thanks for your in-depth feedback and review.
It's great to see you've found value from Crikle and the platform!
From a sales perspective we have been building to make Crikle as intuitive and simple to use as possible, and I'm glad you're finding it that way.

Regarding your feedback
- Recording permissions, we're looking to review this ongoing
- Emails- we're looking at how we can do...

Great Zoom Alternative! A one of a kind video call-scheduling platform!

Crikle surprises me, the video quality is good, and the service works.
Although small little hiccups, for example:
>screen sharing was a little choppy, but they are aware of it.
>the view screen when you share your screen, the top bar takes a lot of space. I'd like a minimal approach. They are aware of it too, and working on a fix soon.
>no chat box for you to send a quick link or message to the participants.

What I like:
>You can easily share presentation without the hassle to share your screen, it works natively.
>You can write notes, briefs about the meeting on the screen so you don't have to take your eyes away off the screen.
>Invitee can book a meeting with you - very Hubspot-ish! I like!
>Integrations with others, hope they'll add more (especially apps that were here in AppSumo)

There is a lot to like about Crikle, and it is a great, affordable alternative to Zoom, which is very much overpriced.
But it is also quite young, so with right suggestions from users, it can be the perfect replacement!

I bought 1 code but I hope I can get another code before it ends! Zoom is really expensive for my currency, and this is really a Godsend during this pandemic. I'm able to arrange meeting with 50 participants. If you can afford it, get at least 2 codes. They're going to get better, and they listen to comments for improvement. I look forward to seeing Crikle become better in the next couple of months update!

Grab it while you still can!
