Crashing at the last minute

Ya’ll need to fix this from crashing everytime in the final hours, auctions lose money when people aren’t able to bid.

Super easy to use

Great app! Easy to use, and fun too. Auctions are way better this way I think.

Great app. Lots of fun and easy to use.

Great app. Worked great for a recent charity auction I was bidding on.

Erik

This site was not working, the last hour of the auction!

5 stars!!!

Awesome app. Easy to use and a lot of fun.

Scam

Didn’t give updates to who was in first, second, third, etc. doesn’t update at all. Trash.

Terrible

This app is terrible. Do not use! Good luck if you are trying to do a fund raiser. Just watch all your money go away.

Decent but needs improvements

We used this for a PTO event two years in a row. Set up was okay, no way to import from last year. Payment was confusing to the parents and I’ve had to chase people down for payment. I highly recommend requiring phone numbers and not just email addresses for users.

Works Perfectly with Incredibly Fast Support

This app worked perfectly for the two auctions that I’ve run. Whenever we had questions, support responded almost immediately and got us on our way.

SSL Sale

We liked the site. We think there should be more contact info for buyers. Also, if any bid is placed in the last 5 mins it should reset rather than just the last 30 seconds

Response from developer

Thank you for the feedback! We also want to add ability to extend auction on individual items only, rather than the whole auction...

Auction

This app is great!

Worked great!

Added an extra fun element to our silent auction and worked seamlessly! Thanks for enhancing our evening.

Dissapointed

I was expecting a different app but it was no good

Worked really well.

Raised more than we would have with traditional, and was able to better visit at our function. No line ups walking around the tables. Always knew when I got outbid... best part.

Excellent app

Excellent app. So easy to use and navigate around. Superb support throughout. Would highly recommend.

Jenni, NZFMA

Great silent auction app. Easy to use and navigate.

Buggy app doesn't work properly

Buggy. Getting errors on login - something about an undefined variable when i click "already activated"... Worked the first time i used it, now can't even get back in to check progress on my bids! Waste of time.

Edit: Still getting "Activation check" error message on login, even with this very latest "bug fix" release.

Great bidding app

We really enjoyed using bid beacon. They were quick to respond with all of our questions. I highly recommend. I would also recommend you try and have bidders download the app before they arrive at event.

1st time

Worked well for our PTO auction.

Admin needs info after auction ends

Ease of use seems good (haven’t had complaints from users-Auction ended 1 hour ago). Adding items was easy. Fun to bid right up until the last minute. Wish app gave all people the countdown, not just the admin; people bidding from home couldn’t hear her give the timing. Problem is that now we only see user names for purchases once auctions has ended. Need to be able to see real names and emails as people signed up (the manage attendees list) after auction has ended in order to follow up with winning bids.
