Best "remote" receptionist there is!
Its been fun and easy to use for both our clients and myself. We don't have a receptionist yet, because our office isn't set up that way. However, this is great to use because our clients can sort of help themselves until someone comes out to assist them.
PROSI love that we can make this extremely customizable so that the clients feel like they're truly getting taken care of and not just another number. The check in process is super important because that's like a first impression, so I love how we can customize it to certain visitors.
CONSPricing is a bit off to me. I think we wish there was the ability to have a Basic package for employee contacts over 24. We have about 30 or so, but don't need everything that Premium offers. Premium is the next level up in order to include over 24 ppl.

Ashante, we're so grateful you took the time to leave us a review. We all want to make a great first impression, and it's wonderful to hear that we can help your team do so. Thank you so much for being a customer! -Kayla Hollenbaugh, Digital Campaigns Manager

Review
Overall, this as worked ok. The IDEA of it is amazing. It is just missing a few components to make it perfect. It has been very nice and opened up the line of communication and convenience with clients. In this line of work the ability to upload fillable documents and/or the ability to print out directly what they provide rather than having to convert information would be a huge help.
PROSThe convenience of it is exceptional for my clients. Especially those who have transportation conflicts. They can check in and report to me through the link which is very very nice for them and for me. I am in an office by myself so this has been very handy.
CONSI am in the court system so we have to chrono and keep documents of everything. I wish there was a way to upload fillable documents my clients could fill out and than submit to me where I can print them out directly. Or give them an option to print directrly to my office. My computer does not convert over nicely and it is a hassle when I have so many clients checking in. I do not have the time to convert each report individually.

I couldn't be happier with both the product and the service.
it is easy to use and makes for a more efficient sign in process. if there is a problem the support staff is quick to respond and help find an solution to whatever your issue is.
CONSI have no serious cons to list. the only slight complaint I would have would be the limited ability to design and customize fonts for the home page.

FCL Builders loves The Receptionist
We now have visitors getting addressed quickly, rather than standing around confused on what to do or where to go. Before they wandered our large lobby to find a bell to ring and I could tell they felt awkward and lost. The Receptionist has given our visitors the comfort and ease to know what to do when they arrive.
PROSWe love how quickly we can attend to a visitor and how little the wait times are for our visitors. We dont have a "front desk person" and The Receptionist has helped tremendously with our important visitors
CONSThis software is very methodical and folks have taken into consideration all possible aspects for all possible business situations. It is one of the most thorough Apps have ever used.

Receptionist Great for school volunteer check-in
The customer service and assistance with set-up was incredible. [sensitive content hidden] was so patient and helpful with all aspects that she made it fun and educational.
PROSThe Receptionist is easy to install, use and allows us to keep track of all the volunteers on our school campus. It is also helpful in the event of emergency that we can have a list of our volunteers on campus so we can have a complete head count.
CONSIf you want to have your visitor name badges/labels in 4 color they are very expensive so I wish there was a less expensive alternative.

The Receptionist
I love this product. Super simple to set up, customize, change/update, and manage. A real great 'set it and forget it' kind of product.
CONSWhile i'm not 100% sure it has anything to do with the app, sometimes when a guest is typing in their name the keyboard goes completely crazy and makes it difficult. While not really a 'con' per se, but a feature request would be to have it make a phone call, announcement over a PA or maybe a prerecorded message, or something similar. Maybe relay it through Twilio or something similar?
Vendor Response
Hi Ryan! Thanks for leaving this amazing review! I am stoked that you're enjoying it so much. Regarding your question about connecting to Twilio to make a PA call, you can do this using our Zapier integration! Chat with our support team on our website if you'd like help setting this up!

The Receptionist has been a game changer for our company
We like most that it is able to keep a directory of all of our employees and then when a visitor comes in it sends them a text message that they are here.

Have you been in contact with our support team about the app crashing?

Instant Notifications!!
This was the best purchase we made during our move to the new office.
PROSWith the recent move, our new building was way to large to have the admins running around notifying employees of their visitor arrivals. The instant notifications have helped tremendously.

Gets The Job Done
We wanted to do away with receptionists at our Corporate office, so we replaced that functionality with the iPad receptionist app. It's worked reliably for us, for the most part. The updates are highly manual, but that's usually not an issue. It took a few months for everyone in the office to get used to it, but here we are two years later still using it. Will probably replace this solution with a custom MS PowerApp at some point.
PROSThe portal interface can be mastered in a couple hours. There really isn't much investment needed to learn everything about the product and get your account up and running. Great customer service.
CONSThe actual options of this application are minimal. I've found myself on more than one occasion "hacking" together a solution based on the options available.

It has been a welcomed change to our office. Both guests and employees alike find it very helpful.
What we like most about the software is the ability to customize every option. We have been able to make adjustments with ease and instantly.
CONSThe admin site does not automatically upload the visitor log when someone checks in or if there is activity with pick-ups and deliveries. The admin will have to remember to refresh the page to see an update. Also, we also have several visitors and customers we try to accommodate with the "delivery" option but are limited with selections so not everyone has their own button. It can cause some confusion.

Highly Customizable and Affordable Reception/Notification Software
For the last 8 months I have been testing out 10 different receptionist applications to find the best one that suited our companies needs. The iPad Receptionist was the clear winner due to its ease of use, customization, and amazing customer support. We were looking for a notification system that allowed our employees to receive text messages when their guests were in our lobby. We also wanted our admins to be notified as well incase someone was away from their phone. The relay system with The iPad Receptionist is fantastic and allows our admins to be notified if the original employee does not respond within a minute. USPS and Fedex complained about our last application that we put in the field because they didn't want to type anything in and it was too confusing. With our current system, it could not be easier as they no longer need to type anything in and can choose preset options. We have gotten a lot of positive feedback since the change. From an admin standpoint, the backend is very easy to use/update. We were able to upload a CSV file with all the information, and set the relay contacts for each contact very easily. The price is also very reasonable. It fell within the middle, price wise, out of the 10 applications I tested. The customer service has been phenomenal! Their response time is great, and they are always very nice. Even more important though, I have submitted 2 bug reports that were taken care of within days, and have submitted feature requests that came out in later versions. It has been great working with The iPad Receptionist as they have made my job a lot easier.

Positive experience for our company, with multiple locations - we've branched out our "Receptionist for iPad" program to a second location and are looking at implementation for others.
PROSThe Receptionist enabled us to align our visitor management program with US export requirements for our foreign visitors. Enabling US and Foreign Visitor ID at time of entry using the software options allows quick identification of foreign visitors, and eases the time spent in the lobby for all our Customers & Clients.

Awesome. Easy to use, easy to manage from an admin end, and reporting is very simple.
PROSI like that the software has the ability to take photographs of visitors, and allow our employees to get text or emails when their visitor arrives. It is great to make sure we can count for everyone coming in and out of the building.
CONSUnder the vendor tab, if you use the "Other" button it does not allow them to inset what company they are coming with. Since you can only have 6 vendors on the screen, we have 5 of our most common vendors and then we use the "Other" button as a 'catch-all'. That being said - we would like to track what 'other' vendors are coming in the building by allowing the 'other' vendor to type in their name so it can be recorded.
