Unmissable for web designers: Guidejar is a Game-Changer!

As a web designer working with DIY clients, Guidejar has become absolutely indispensable for me. This tool has completely transformed the way I interact with my clients. I love it, and I can't imagine going back to the way things were before.

Since I started using Guidejar, my clients have been giving me overwhelmingly positive feedback about the helpful guides I can now provide. It’s made it so much easier for them to understand and navigate their websites, and they appreciate the clear, step-by-step instructions. The result? Happier clients, smoother projects, and a lot less time spent on back-and-forth emails.

For anyone working with clients who prefer a hands-on approach, Guidejar is a must-have. It’s not just a tool—it’s a true game-changer.

So glad I bought this

I'm knocking out SOPs and help guides in record time. I'm also using it to answer customer support questions - it's faster than typing out steps. Just record your steps and send them a link.
My customers are delighted with the experience and it's saving me a ton of time. Win-win.
Also: the couple of times I've reached out to the Guidejar team with questions or roadmap requests they've been lovely. : )

Decent replacement for Tango

Made my first GuideJar and it was an intuitive process that my team will be adopting for simple walkthroughs where a Loom video is not quite the right option. I had previously looked at Tango, but didn't want the subscription so this LTD was perfect.

A gem in the making...

Brief Positive Review of Guidejar SaaS Platform

Guidejar rocks! It's a super user-friendly platform for creating interactive demos and guides. You can customize everything, manage steps easily, and engage your audience with various views. Plus, features like call-to-action buttons and SEO optimization are a bonus!

I love how Guidejar helps businesses build a help center in no time, reducing support workload. And you can embed guides anywhere online - how cool is that?

Overall, like Smartcue...Guidejar is a must-have for boosting user experience and conversions.

It's really good

I don't use Guidejar every day, but when I do, I walk away dumbfounded by how I was able to get this so cheap. I onboard a lot of new writers who aren't up to speed on our CMS, so instead of spending an hour going back and forth on Slack, I record a quick guide and boom: headache and stress-inducing training session averted.

Say Whaaaaaaaaa????

LOVE IT... LOVE IT... LOVE IT! I LOVE EVERYTHING about this software. However, there is ne VERY IMPORTANT component missing.The ONLY thing this is missing, in my humble opinion, is a text block. (WYSIWYG). I would like to add text section between slides which is currently not possible. Well, you can add title text (limited formating and all text is bold) and with a little manipulation, you can include text-only in interactive demo view as described here... ( https://help.guidejar.com/guides/e2d65cfc-f8af-4ba3-b709-2bc99ea83289#da9966ae-7861-42c7-b4dc-3a9e955603f2) but.. The formatting options are extremely limited. For now, I guess I will create images that contain the text I want to add and place those in as steps.

Other than that, this is a spectacular piece of work that I will be using regularly.

Thanks for coming to AppSumo!

too many bugs

I could not invite additional users (I had Tier 2) or create a Help Center. I had a long discussion with support about that, and they told me I should delete my account and recreate it. I did that, and after that I had even more issues - I could not create a Team and was stuck in the Welcome Screen. Support created the Team manually for me which at least allowed me to log in to the app again, but I still could not invite other users or create a Help Desk. Could be a nice application if it would work. I refunded at this point.

Great product, but one big adoption issue

So far I am impressed by this product, however, I have one big annoyance which has to deduct two tacos.. When I invite my team to use this platform the guides they create are not company guides and therefore they continually get presented with "This is a premium-only feature" and the like. Supposedly they have to publish the guide to the company workspace to access the features I paid for. The line from the Guidejar is that the accounts they have made are personal/free accounts, which in my opinion should not be the case. Ultimately I invited them to the platform as a user of my paid account/company account and as such they should not experience this issue. The knock-on effects of such a UX issue could easily be poor adoption internally. If the founders resolve this issue, I am more than willing to take this to be a 5 taco review.

Quick and easy to make a tutorial

Incredibly helpful for making a tutorial fast and easy when the customer is in a "I-Need-Now-It's-Urgent" state, as I can add adjustments during the editing phase rather than having to re-record the entire process if a step is missed halfway. Awesome!

Makes Training Easy!

I love this program, not just for complicated trainings but for those little one/two step explanations. This is one of my most wise and most used AppSumo purchase.

Great Product

Great product, the ability to create a help center is one of the main reasons i purchased, very intuitive. One thing i wish existed was the ability to double click a guide description and update vs clicking the edit icon. Also being able to reorder by maybe clicking a up/down arrow will simplify usage. All in all, great product.
