Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

"Performance Falls Short"

The concept is clever and forward-thinking, but the technology keeps failing and can't be trusted in professional settings, especially with large audiences. It's likely only suitable for small events or classrooms. Aiming to create audience interaction, but the execution doesn't hold up.

CEO

"Great app"

If you want to impress your audience, get Crowd Mics for your next event so they can talk directly to you and you can run impromptu polls. Since it's an app, encourage attendees to download it beforehand. Give it a shot – you'll be glad you did. During a two-day facilitated event, using Crowd Mics kept everyone engaged and added variety to the experience.

Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

"Powerful Software with Many Uses"

Running events is much smoother; previously we needed extra staff to chase down questioners with mics, but now attendees just download the app and the speaker selects them effortlessly. Wi-Fi can be spotty in some venues, causing audio streaming or download issues. This saves on manpower and equipment like microphones.

Enterprise (> 1000 emp.)

"Evaluation of Crowd Mics"

The audience can speak into their phones without needing a physical mic, which is a fantastic feature that projects their voices through speakers. We tested it during an internal meeting. The live polling could use improvement – results take a while to update. We use fewer microphones now and don't have to purchase expensive ones or worry about maintenance.

"Top-notch software!"

It's incredibly easy to use and prevents people from scrambling to pass around a mic. Now they can just install the app and they're set. Performance largely depends on the Wi-Fi strength; otherwise, there might be lag. This tool saves us time and money that we can redirect to other priorities.

Enterprise (> 1000 emp.)

"Crowd Mic Feedback"

I liked how straightforward the whole software was to use. The human factors engineering behind it is solid. However, some features were tricky to locate, requiring extra time to find them. The app itself should be easier to download – that's a significant issue. It helps eliminate the need for physical microphones, which is great for tight budgets and school projects.

Enterprise (> 1000 emp.)

"Fantastic Engaging Tool"

This app offers a brilliant and creative way to involve audiences at any gathering. By letting people speak through their smartphones, it encourages greater participation. It's incredibly user-friendly, even for non-techies. Connectivity can be a challenge, especially in rural areas with weak Wi-Fi, but it's worth trying. In large lecture halls, it has boosted student engagement during discussions, and everyone can hear the speaker clearly.

Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

"Extremely simple and handy"

This tool provides an incredibly easy and convenient microphone solution whenever needed, eliminating the hassle of carrying physical mics. The sound quality is decent too. The main downside is that it requires Wi-Fi, which can be problematic when the network is unavailable or slow, affecting recording and saving functions. I recommend it for various scenarios because of its simplicity and convenience – it's a joy to use. The ability to record individually or in groups speeds up project completion compared to writing notes, making it far more efficient.

"Crowd Mics Overview"

Crowd Mics is an app that transforms your phone into a wireless microphone linked to the presenter's device and a PA system, enabling effortless communication with the speaker. Additionally, it lets attendees send text questions or participate in live polls, boosting audience engagement and enhancing presentations. However, in venues with weak Wi-Fi, the app can become less effective, and the poll feature might lag without a solid connection. Overall, it's a valuable tool for fostering better interaction between presenters and their audience, solving the common problem of limited engagement.
