In Lou I love

Lou is a solid app for site navigation guidance, app tours etc. But it also incorporate a bunch of helpful tools inside. Overall, I feel very happy to have a productive, all-in-one and effective solution like Lou

PROS

Lou is very easy to use, with a clear and clean interface and step-by-step guidance for users to perform the necessary actions. I can very easily create any widget that I want in very short time, from tooltips, hotspots, site tour - everything is presented in a convenient menu-based interface and walkthrough guide (even more convenient when I install the Chrome extension). I also love that Lou can be installed easily in multiple domains, so that I can create consistent experiences to users.

CONS

The installation may require adding some code snippets in the "Header" section of website or page. It is not an issue for me, but for those who is not familiar may require helps from Lou's team. Nonetheless, Lou's supporting team is quite responsive overall so this is not really an issue.

Great onboarding experiences

I develop websites for clients, this helps the onboarding process to explain to them how the backend works, and where are the features/options that they'll most need.

PROS

It is extremely easy to use, with the chrome extension is just a matter of clicking on the step you want to explain, writing the instruction and that's it! I like the fact that you can simulate it straight away and define the audience to show this to.

CONS

I didn't like that they didn't have checklists, but now they do! The only important feature missing is the mobile compatibility, but that is also in the works.

Vendor Response

Hey David, thanks for the review. Mobile compatibility is now available! I hope you'll try it out

Horrible experience

After my experience, I cannot recommend at all.

PROS

I would say the free version, but it is useless because it does not work

CONS

I can't believe those positive reviews are real, I have only experience TERRIBLE UX and many many many bugs every single day. It is not working according to settings.

Great price for the value delivered

PROS

The ease of use in creating workflows for users to go through.

CONS

Some limited features, would like to have pointer arrows and other animations that can guide a user to scroll down a page.

Reason for choosing Lou

Significantly more affordable.

Great tool!

PROS

I like the easiness of installation. It's highly customizable and quite fun, actually, to set up.

CONS

The fact that mobile is not supported yet. But it should be there soon as support assured me.

Vendor Response

Hey Johanna, thanks for your thoughtful review! Mobile support is now available. I hope you'll try it out and let us know what you think.
