Trash. -- jajajajajajsnaj11/83747, 2021-10-03 ### *---- "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. -- smiles 0012, 2021-10-02 ### ***-- "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. -- NikkiT21, 2021-05-24 ### ***** "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. -- MT Momma, 2021-05-22 ### ****- "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 -- SSL060708, 2020-04-05 ### ***** "Auction" This app is great! -- lholz77, 2020-02-16 ### ***** "Worked great!" Added an extra fun element to our silent auction and worked seamlessly! Thanks for enhancing our evening. -- Mommio6502, 2020-02-09 ### ***** "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. -- thert6, 2019-03-26 ### ****- "1st time" Worked well for our PTO auction. -- TRHMKE, 2019-03-11 ### ***-- "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. -- Bighank777, 2018-10-19 [View all Bid Beacon reviews and detailed analytics on AppTail](https://app.apptail.io/signup?utm_campaign=ai-crawl&utm_content=reviews) ## Bid Beacon In-App Purchases | Item | Price | |------|-------| | Small Auction Bundle | $49.99 | | +50 Products | $29.99 | | Large Auction Bundle | $99.99 | | +25 Pictures | $19.99 | | +50 Guests | $29.99 | | Online Payment | $49.99 | | Gala Bundle | $249.99 | | Remove Third Party Banners | $24.99 | | Enabled Sponsors | $39.99 | | Extended Auction | $49.99 | ## Bid Beacon Discovered Keywords - simple launch - launch event - handbid - bid beacon - charity auctions ## Apps Similar to Bid Beacon - [ATB Personal - Mobile Banking](https://apptail.io/app/atb-personal-mobile-banking-Ivc/united-states) - [ATB Business - Mobile Banking](https://apptail.io/app/atb-business-mobile-banking-rfi/united-states) - [ClaimSnap](https://apptail.io/app/claimsnap-MRN/united-states) - [Titan GPS Fleet](https://apptail.io/app/titan-gps-fleet-xTfb/united-states) - [Van311](https://apptail.io/app/van311-FXgb/united-states) - [Itemtopia Inventory](https://apptail.io/app/itemtopia-inventory-ijjb/united-states) - [PheedLoop Go!](https://apptail.io/app/pheedloop-go-OQrb/united-states) - [Olympia Mobile](https://apptail.io/app/olympia-mobile-xIkc/united-states) - [ARTA Benefits](https://apptail.io/app/arta-benefits-VZvc/united-states) - [Beck Auctions](https://apptail.io/app/beck-auctions-trvj/united-states) ## Bid Beacon Available In - [United States](https://apptail.io/app/bid-beacon-wsvj/united-states) - [Canada](https://apptail.io/app/bid-beacon-wsvj/canada) - [United Kingdom](https://apptail.io/app/bid-beacon-wsvj/united-kingdom) - [Australia](https://apptail.io/app/bid-beacon-wsvj/australia) - [New Zealand](https://apptail.io/app/bid-beacon-wsvj/new-zealand) - [Finland](https://apptail.io/app/bid-beacon-wsvj/finland) - [Hungary](https://apptail.io/app/bid-beacon-wsvj/hungary) - [Ireland](https://apptail.io/app/bid-beacon-wsvj/ireland) - [Italy](https://apptail.io/app/bid-beacon-wsvj/italy) - [Mexico](https://apptail.io/app/bid-beacon-wsvj/mexico) - [Netherlands](https://apptail.io/app/bid-beacon-wsvj/netherlands) - [Norway](https://apptail.io/app/bid-beacon-wsvj/norway) - [Portugal](https://apptail.io/app/bid-beacon-wsvj/portugal) - [Sweden](https://apptail.io/app/bid-beacon-wsvj/sweden) - [Slovenia](https://apptail.io/app/bid-beacon-wsvj/slovenia) - [Slovakia](https://apptail.io/app/bid-beacon-wsvj/slovakia) - [Austria](https://apptail.io/app/bid-beacon-wsvj/austria) - [South Africa](https://apptail.io/app/bid-beacon-wsvj/south-africa) - [Belgium](https://apptail.io/app/bid-beacon-wsvj/belgium) - [Brazil](https://apptail.io/app/bid-beacon-wsvj/brazil) - [Denmark](https://apptail.io/app/bid-beacon-wsvj/denmark) - [Spain](https://apptail.io/app/bid-beacon-wsvj/spain) --- ## About AppTail [AppTail](https://apptail.io) is a mobile app intelligence platform providing app analytics, ASO (App Store Optimization) tools, keyword tracking, competitor analysis, revenue estimates, and review monitoring for iOS App Store apps.
