### 1/5 — Useless: app is as useless as their customer service.

*2021-12-02, version 2.10.19*

Will be speaking with events coordinator to ensure we discontinue our affiliation with this useless app. Called customer service for support; they were supremely unhelpful, rude, and now we’re at the event and unable to use it. Waste of money. Waste of time. Use literally any other service before this one. 
0/10, 0 stars, would eat my hat before recommending.

**Developer response:** Thanks for reaching out, Erin. We’d really like to look further into the event you used the app for to address your experience. Please connect with Jonny at support@boomset.com so we can assist.

### 5/5 — Business Development Representative

*2019-08-20, version 2.10.2*

Great product! Very easy to use, easy to understand, and the customer service is excellent! Makes the lead retrieval process of trade shows a breeze!

**Developer response:** Thank you for your feedback and kind words! We look forward to making your event - and lead capture - experience just as seamless in the future.

### 5/5 — How do I download the excel spreadsheet ?

*2019-08-14, version 2.10.2*

Thanks

619-502-0485

**Developer response:** Thanks for your feedback! To download your report, head to your event’s dashboard and tap "Export" in the top-right corner. Enter your password and then follow your device’s prompts to send your lead report. Feel free to visit our Help Desk and the following article for more info: https://boomsethelp.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/205195738-Sending-reports-reading-reports

### 2/5 — Needs a “booth rush” mode

*2019-05-23, version 2.9.8*

Not a bad tool but the authors overlooked the most important moment: when hundreds of participants rush to the booth to get swag after presentations. When you need to scan hundreds of impatient people and need to go through 4 screens!! before you can scan the next person, the app stops being useful

**Developer response:** Thank you for this valuable feedback. Our lead retrieval experience can be customized to include as many questions as you’d like. Once a lead is scanned, it automatically brings you to prioritize and take notes on the conversation, which you can skip and fill in later. Our team strives to deliver efficient solutions and we look forward to continuing to do so for your future events. We’d be happy to discuss this further if you have additional feedback.

### 1/5 — Does not do anything, no interface for lead capture.

*2019-03-28, version 2.8.34*

You have to select and event from a list, I think, and purchase lead retrievals from it. Okay, but that is not really useful nor does it match the app description. Does anyone know an app that has an interface for letting customers input their info and storing it? That’s all I need, really. Otherwise, I will use a survey app like Google’s. It does work the way I’ve described, for those interested.

**Developer response:** Thank you for your feedback - we highly value it! Our Lead Retrieval app is intended for event planner use and not universal - i.e. it cannot be used to collect leads at any/every show unless we are also printing the badges or you have access to the event organizer's attendee list. Boomset is one of the most respected Lead Retrieval capture tools in the market, used by Linux, SXSW, and Gainsight to name a few. Our tool captures lead info via QR codes (or NFC tapping) that have been created and used via our platform, in this case by your event’s organizer.

### 5/5 — Best lead scanning app ever

*2018-12-15, version 2.8.5*

It just works. Easy to capture QR codes from a distance. Adding notes is also easy. Captures dupes. Can download in real time. What’s not to like?

**Developer response:** Dina, thank you so much for your feedback. It's wonderful to hear about your experience with our Lead Retrieval app! Our team is working hard to continue making it an efficient and effective technology - including a new lead capture experience that is more interactive and visual - we're excited to provide event tech that makes it easier (and fun) for everyone.

### 1/5 — Waste of time and money

*2018-10-25, version 2.8.2*

Terrible app

**Developer response:** Thanks for leaving your feedback, Felix. We’d like to take a further look into your experience with the Lead Retrieval app. Please contact support@boomset.com at your earliest convenience.

### 1/5 — Worthless

*2018-03-22, version 2.7.6*

Does not function

**Developer response:** Thanks for reaching out. We’d like to learn more about your experience and resolve any issue you may have experienced. Please reach out to us at support@boomset.com.

### 5/5 — Easy to use, highly recommended!

*2017-10-07, version 2.7.4*

Used the Boomset Lead Retrieval app yesterday at the Event Planner's Expo in NYC. So impressed with the easy usability and helpful features. Highly recommended, also love that I can download it right to my phone.

**Developer response:** Thank you for your review and feedback! We strive to make Boomset a leading event software and appreciate your recommendation. We have made quite a few changes and upgrades to the system over the years and encourage those who have used it to check out the latest updates. Please feel free to reach out to sales@boomset.com at any time!

### 1/5 — DOES NOT SCAN

*2016-07-15, version 2.3*

Tried scanning potential clients to gather there information; the scan is inconsistent to say the least.

Abandoned the scanning system all together after 20+ attempts. DOES NOT WORK

**Developer response:** Thank you for your review and feedback. We strive to make Boomset a leading event software and have made quite a few changes and upgrades to the system since your last visit here. We'd love for you to experience it. Please feel free to reach out to sales@boomset.com.
