Localist Reviews

The creation of multiple landing pages, departments, custom fields, and reports you can generate easily.

The lack of extra Payment Gateways, so you need to utilize Stripe to use the payment register feature.

Localist is allowing the University of Miami to have an easily understood front end and administration end for Event/Venue Managers, and enough classifications and filtering to have each Department set up exactly how they like it.

I love the styling flexibility and how user-friendly the features are. Being able to add things to a calendar and build your own digest is great.

I've encountered a lot of users getting confused with certain things related to the submission form and event pending approval process.

Hosting a public-facing event calendar that can accept event submissions from a large community of users.

Localist's data model and user interface handles complex recurring events beautifully in a way that makes it easier and easier to maintain an up to date calendar the longer we use the tool and make it easy for external stakeholders to submit and edit their own events.

We also love that we can make unlimited custom widgets to embed whatever part of our calendar we need on webpages or blogs so we can show only the events pertinent for that topic (for instance, our website is VisitShawnee.com, but for ShawneeExpo.com the widget only displays events off our calendar that are taking place at that venue. It is AMAZING!)

It is great for managing a lot of events and groups. It makes it easy to view and filter events too.

Sometimes there is a little to many features/options.

Reaching our customers about events. It's great for a concise way to present all of our events.

Localist connects us to the community. I find their features easy to use and store for future use. Do not hesitate to make this your go to app for your resource!

It could use some new features to update and oeganize folders.

Helping us reach new audiences that we would never connect with.

The Localist calendar complements the office-wide calendar and allows me to get a better overview of our own as well as partner office events.

At times I don't have time to keep up with additional calendars so it would be helpful if there was a sinple integration w outlook.

I can more easily keep track of multiple offices' events.

This tool has been a great addition to our office when it comes to organizing several programs that the center hosts throughout the Fall and Spring semesters. We have about 25 staff members who all play a role in the planning process.

There is so much to offer with Localist, that the onboarding process for a new team member can be a little intimidating. Also, we've had a few issues where a team member creates an event in Localist and the event completely disappears from the dashboard.

I've never really stumbled upon any issues with the system except for having difficulties locating an event that disappeared off the dashboard. That has only happened a couple of times. It hasn't really effected my work flow.

We use Localist to promote our on-campus events to students, faculty, staff and the local community. Post-COVID campus life is rebounding and everyone is looking for things to do.

I have not found feature that I dislike.

Helping us reach a wider audience.

Localist is a very easy service that we use to create, update and a manage events. We have used other services in the past, but I love the look and feel of the localist dashboard, as well as the look and feel from the user's end. I like that it can be customized for each customer.

I really don't have any dislikes --I think it's a very easy to use software that allows other folks to send in content, as well. The only thing I would improve, if anything, is to add a feature so that any size photo can be accepted when adding an event. Our standard 1920 x 1080 is too large, so we have to find unique ways to get around it.

We are using Localist for a couple of different functions. First and foremost, it serves as a calendar of events on our university website, which is great, because other people can submit entries, as well. That is helpful because it offers that submission feature, but nothing is posted until approved by one of the people who are labeled as administrators on our end. The other great feature it is helping with is event management for a large-scale community service event we are planning. We have task sign ups and are allowing users to choose their own time frame and task, which takes away some of the work for the organizers on the back end.

Localist is very easy to use and provides simple ways to get the most out of promoting events online.

I wish there was a user type between user and event admin, but it isn't a deal breaker at all.

We are quickly getting our events on the web and using several users. It allows us to segment where necessary and it's easy to use.
