Unique with Excellent Potential
I do not write reviews often; however, I feel that this product is worth reviewing. I have used several LMS platforms and other course creation tools for decade. This platform has so many unique features that are needed. One drawback was the free option that is shown as an option with paid plans. There was a comment made about this option being available soon. This is great for me due to the numerous free programs, sessions, and events with my employees, church, and community. The 2% fee is not a deal breaker; however, I did notice that this is not a fee for people on the paid plan. The minimum price is also a concern.
COURSES: As a course developer, I notice several functions missing but hope this will change soon. Some of the things that I would recommend adding are:
- HTML embeds
- Allow course deletions, especially the sample courses and events. I do not want my audience seeing these.
- Allow assignment submission
- Allow drip and/or scheduling
- Set Due Dates option
- Provide an option to make assignments private or limit access to specific students
- Allow updating a course after launch. I do not see the option.
- I am not sure how the certificates work but still reviewing.
FOOTER: I do not care for the "About LeaderJam" portion on the end of courses. This should be our information not a market to the platform. This could sway the attention off the purchase to research the platform instead.
COPYRIGHT: Copyright shows LeaderJam as if they own the content. This could be confusing to potential students, clients, etc.
SPAMMING: I also created an account for testing students and instructor access. I do not care for the advertisement of the platform to my clients and customers. I feel that the emails should be able to come from my brand or at least allow the ability to customize the information, especially the contact information. I believe the emails getting sent to admins only is great but not for everyone.
ISSUES: I am having issues logging in with an account that I created, even after several attempts. I am also having an issue connecting my Google calendar but still waiting on a response from customer support.
CNAME: I was not aware that a sub-domain could not be used. When I tried to update it, there is not an option to remove it. I am waiting on a response from the team.
This is my assessment after a 2-day review. I believe this is going to be a powerful platform and what I have been seeking for years. It deserves a chance to mature into its full potential.

Jul 10, 2024Thank you much for your review. It's great to meet you, and we look forward to continuing to enhance the platform per your thoughts and suggestions. I hope you are able to utilize all of the features offered within the LeaderJam platform--and let us know when you have more inputs and ideas.
As you mentioned, we are now developing the option to host free sessions for workshops, coaching, and events within the platform and will have that ready in about a week. We are reducing the minimum price you charge to $1 for paid sessions in the same catetories--when you are selling and not providing your services free. ($15 minimum for courses.)
We appreciate too your feedback regarding course development, and have noted these items to include in our review for upcoming product development.
Your comments on the footer and copyright make sense and we will be updating these, to avoid any confusion . I will let you know as soon as these changes are in place. In addition, we are working on adjusting the email notifications to your clients to come from you only with no mention of LeaderJam.
I understand that our team has addressed the login and calendar issues described with you live, and they will be in touch with you if there are any other issue. It sounds like everything is fully functional. CName ("Custom Name") is fully functional too where you do the steps they suggested, and it sounds like we have worked with you to fully utilize this feature.
We appreciate your description of LeaderJam as a feature rich platform, and it will be more so when we add your comments and recommendations. Please let us know if you have additional questions.
Thank you again.
