super cool app just expensive should be a one time fee, not a subscription
Reviews for Popl: Digital Business Card
← Back to Popl: Digital Business CardI set it up online download the app and it when I click on it. it's just white. so I delete it and download it again. and it just white blank screen again. I tried a few times and it does not work. too bad sound like a good idea. but they need to work out the app. kind of useless without the app. done wasting my time on it.
app keeps closing, won't sign me in right, cannot edit my info. terrible, garbage app.
frustrating, newer android. did not have app. before. someone had me scan their popl card. i downloaded app. clicked the link on the popl card, no contact info. when I try texting the persons # I get a reply from popl to press the link. I've tried to access support in the app and I get nowhere. in the app I often get money extortion (not really, but they are keen on getting $$ out of you but not helping) request from popl.
I have had this card for 3 years now. I have used it for so many events. Not only for my business but also for spreading the good news!
Have enjoyed using the service, love the concept and the cards. The app is a bit buggy on Google 9 Pro. Will unsubscribe because the service is useless if the mobile app is buggy.
To be honest this app and company may be fundamentally one of the worst businesses I have ever have had the misfortune to work with. I switced to Popl as my employer had wanted us all on the same program. A recent recruiting event with a budget close to $50,000.00 turned into a total lose as their capture forms stopped working in the first few hours of the 4 day event. No help other then they don't know what happened and sorry. 100's of contacts lost and not even willing to refund card cost. F-
:( unfortunately it isn't as quick/touch and go as I hoped. Phones seem to be finicky on whether they read it or not and where it touches (top iphone, mid Android). I've had 3 potential customers so far try to use it in passing but ended up having to type my Instagram user out on their phones instead... Kind of embarrassing. Unsure if it's due to different case thicknesses,pop sockets, or something else
This app used to work great but sometime after Nov 2024, it kept crashing on my Pixel 9XL Pro. I have tried reinstalling multiple times since then but it still crashes. [Popl fixed the issue quickly and efficiently immediately after my initial review! 5 stars now]
The app serves no purpose and does not even work. After installation, I had to save the same colleague's contact info TWICE ... AND it kept nagging me with annoying and USELESS photo capchas (WHY?? it's on my frigging PHONE for crying all night! Programmers don't relate to humanity ...) And, the Support button is non-functional. Don't bother with Popl.
I want this to work so bad I haven't given up.. But at its current level it is honestly trash... The pop almost never works, And doesn't connect to a lot of phones, it disconnects from my popl profiles. And whenever I go to update my profile it constantly glitches and resets.. There's nothing more embarrassing than trying to get someone to trust you, your company and your brand and you can't even give them your information.. 🤦
Buyer beware. Very disappointed in this product.came across an ad instantly thought it would be perfect for our business. Went ahead and purchased a few. Only after they got here and I installed the app on the phone was I made aware that it's a subscription service in order to have all of the features which was never disclosed.had I known the only option to utilize this product effectively would be through a subscription I would have never purchased.
Could be a lot better. I bought one soon after they came out.. before you had to pay for certain features. I agree that if the other person doesn't have the stuff turned on it's more of a hassle than it is easy. Some phones do not have it if they're older which isn't a big deal but makes it useless. App also has problems sometimes. Logged in today and it won't let me edit anything. Screen is blank with a purchase tab at the top. You pay for something you may or may not use.
This app was very slow for my phone (android) but seemed to work perfectly fine on my friends (apple). I was finally able to set it up and thought okay great that was easy until I turned off my phone and as soon as the phone was unlocked I get immediately transported to the Popl app, I wasn't able to do anything to fix it. Not very happy at the moment.
At first it was ok. I placed it on to my phone, activated it with no problems. I was able to add all my links and info again, no problems. Notice my name was incorrect and tried to edit it, but the app won't let you, also every time I open my phone, it tries to activate or ask my if I want to open it. It's really annoying.
The app crashes every time I try to save my card. I have the S23 Ultra so I know it isn't my phone that's the problem. I, like many other reviews, have noticed the decline in app performance and quality for Android phones. I cant even create a digital card. This is just another app that discriminates against Android users. It works perfectly if you have an iPhone.
Love this! Especially since I stopped using business cards a long time ago. I spent too much money on business cards in the past, only to forget to carry them around most times. Now, one small portable item that is easy on-the-go. Although, I have several 😆; one for my keys, one for my phone, and I use one on my nametag! Big plus, updating personal info is easy, no new popl needed. Def recomnend!
I was careful to not jump into the first digital business card I saw, but after reviewing Dot, Linq, Ovou and more I felt that Popl would provide the most customization and analytics to help me business grow. For the low price, it was definitely worth trying. Popl's ease of use and seamless integration with other phones and apps has been outstanding for my business! It impresses clients, saves money, and makes you look like you're ahead of the competition. I won't be going back to paper cards!
I frankly like the service. I've been using it for some years now. I switched from Pro to free version a few months ago because I no longer needed the full service. However, since then, they've added a new paid service, Pro+. I guess it may makes sense to add a new service instead of raising prices for the Pro version. BUT what truly disappoints me is that they are taking away from the free service more and more each time. I won't be replacing my physical Popl card yet, but I am disappointed.
It seems like a cool idea. And, it's a pretty nice talking subject too. Though, it's definitely not user friendly to use it. I have the circle sticker that you put on your phone. I've only tried it a dozen times or so, and none of the times it has worked (except with my phone). I just have people scan my code. I like just having one thing. And, how it's social media centered. I'll probably get a customized card next. And, am planning on trying the pro because of all the cool things.
