Bid Beacon

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

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.

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.

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.

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

This app is great!

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

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.

Worked well for our PTO auction.

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.
