Less Meeting: Agenda & Notes

After spending $1,180 for a year of licenses for my staff, I can honestly say that the app isn't worth $1. It crashes, it's glitchy, and the customer service is spotty at best. We've consistently have meetings disappear from the app (along with any notes/minutes we have taken) and most of my staff stopped using it because they couldn't consistently get meetings to show up. LessMeeting's customer service asked for screenshots and details, but they never actually fix the issue or follow up. This has been months of the same issues and glitches. For an app that is supposed to improve productivity, it actually does the opposite. Lost time and information have been common, and incredibly frustrating. If Less Meeting's developers made some fixes and improvements they could stand out from the numerous other meeting notes apps out there... Unfortunately they are missing out on that opportunity. I recommend you try a different app. If not for the fact that don't allow refunds, we would have dumped LessMeeting the first month we had it.

This is a great application which will assist tremendously in running and documenting meetings. It speeds up the process of letting everyone know what has transpired and allows for quick distribution of the information. A nice change would be to allow one to set up a template to leave out some things out of the email (right now I edit them out prior to sending it out.) A caveat, the interaction with Outlook works only IF the company network allows the connection to the servers (for the paid service) which in my case did not work. As a standalone app it is simply a great addition to my toolset though!

You basically can't do anything with this app in business without paying the $12 per month subscription fee. Also, everything has to be done in an overly complicated way. It's not possible to just create an agenda, take minutes and capture action items. It could work only for a small business that has all employees managing everything locally on iPad with no connection to an enterprise environment (you have to link to a calendar event, but only local iPad calendar - to see events from any other calendar, pay the monthly subscription). I wouldn't mind paying for an app up front but don't want to be held hostage to a monthly fee to use it for the most basic functions.
