Handbid

I found the Handbid app to be a game-changer for my fundraising event. It offers a seamless and user-friendly experience that has completely transformed the way we conduct auctions. The app's intuitive interface makes it easy for participants to browse and bid on items in real-time, no matter where they are. The instant outbid notifications keep the excitement alive, while the secure payment processing ensures a smooth and secure transaction process. With features like ticketing, donation management, and detailed analytics, Handbid provides all the tools needed for a successful fundraising campaign. We can't imagine organizing an event without it!

Nice app but could be a little more user friendly so you could see all the bid categories on a front page to click on. It seems like you get lost in the bidding process and can’t figure out where you are and don’t even know what there is to bid on. Keep in mind I use this program once a year. It should be as if you get it right away when you pick it up even if you only use it once a year.

Overall this is a great way for both sides of an auction to participate, bid and manage a silent auction. Suggested improvements: let users take their name off of an item, just like they can scratch their name off of a bid sheet if they change their mind. Also: think through the navigation and what’s included in the profile. I could find where my CC info was or how to change it or my bid number easily when first opening the app. Enable more side to side navigation when looking at a bid item status: currently it feels like you’re in a rabbit hole. But these are incremental improvements that any good product owner would make after getting the core feature set out there. Overall it’s a good app.
