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 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.

Lou

PROS

I had spent some time looking for an application for onboarding new clients, and Lou was exactly what I needed! It has a simple setup with most of the functionality required in a 'tour SaaS product' The interface for creating a tour is super simple and customizable.

CONS

I would like to see more integrations with other software packages (Slack, Mixpanel, and Intercom) and I would love to see more advanced features like NPS.

I love Lou!!!!!

PROS

I love how easy it is to set up a tour of your product. I was able to use it to set up a welcome tour of the membership site for my clients.

CONS

I wish that they had mobile right now, but I know they are working on it. That's honestly the only drawback that I've experienced.

Vendor Response

Thank you for your review. Mobile support is now launched! When you try it out we'd love to know what you think.

Great start so far

Its quick, user friendly, and helps you get done what you need swiftly

PROS

Easy to implement, we went from trialing to purchasing, installation and deploying our first Lou in less than 48hrs

CONS

There have been a few bugs here and there, but the team have been swift to resolve. They've also released some new features in just a few weeks of requesting

Pretty. Clunky. Needs faster troubleshooting from support.

Each user has their issues. See above.

PROS

The software looks very pretty. The mobile access is a nice touch.

CONS

Issues with lag on the desktop portal. POS transactions as well have their fair share of issues. Many items that we wish we had faster IT support rather than waiting on 6-8 weeks to implement fixes to our issues. The mobile access is nice while in the field. However, it has its headaches.

Reasons for switching to Lou

Switched employment from Iron Mountain to Kring's. Kring's had Act! and switched to LOU soon after I was hired. LOU is nice but was not my decision to switch.
