ShortStack Reviews & Product Details

We are new to the platform but have been so impressed with their quick, customized customer service. Very responsive and so helpful!

There's definitely a learning curve but that's par for the course when you're using something with a high level of capabilities.

lead generation, nice design

We have benefited greatly from the Photo Contest functionality. It does all the heavy lifting needed in order to pull off all the necessary things for a successful contest.

At the moment there is nothing I can think of.

Being able to utilize their lead gen and contest functionality has enabled us to quickly and efficiently launch marketing initiatives that otherwise we would not be able to accommodate in our budget. Did I mention how user-friendly it's interface is as well as the accompanying knowledgebase that has been built out!

The ease of making monthly photo contests for several FB pages

A little limited on design features - would like to be able to choose more colors and styles

Proper FB contests where I don't have to worry about the guidelines, rules and such.

Almost immediate support Many many functionalities Many templates and tools to use for social media Ease in navigation Easy to understand how it works Very good initial training

Nothing to be honest except that it gets a bit expensive at higher levels of usage

Facebook contest to clients I would need an IT to host

When I have a problem, they respond at the support desk very quickly and thoroughly.

I wish it were a little cheaper, but given the support service they provide I guess that's not possible.

They have allowed me to publish a number of apps that constitute very popular tabs for Facebook pages, and to run a number of lead generating contests.

The ease of being able to create a campaign quickly and easily for my clients

Can only now put buttons onto Facebook pages that have 2000 + likes

collecting information for clients, being able to run quick and easy competition for clients

After 6 years of using custom built tools that were expensive and needed a lot of maintenance we decided to switch to Shortstack. So easy to use, affordable and have never had any issues!awes

Nothing - I think it’s a great tool and have never had any issues

Social media giveaways and short forms on web

We use ShortStack for all of our contests. It makes it easy for us to collect entries from forms on our website and from Facebook posts. We also like being able to schedule visibility so that the forms are not visible after a certain timeframe.

It would be great if ShortStack integrated with more social media platforms. We would really like to collect likes and comments from other platforms such as Instagram and Twitter.

By using ShortStack we are are able to better administer our contests. Using web forms gets complicated and tricky. ShortStack is easy and compiles our entries in a easy to use way.

I like how quick and easy it is to build and even customize a form.

The ONLY thing I dislike is that adding custom CSS isn't as easy as creating a form with the standard builder.

We often need to collect information and webhook it into our platform. We use ShortStack to create these form.

If you run a fast based business with multiple social media/marketing channels, and need to run promotions or special content quickly and without much in the way of technical skills, then give ShortStack a go,

There's nothing significantly problematic which is in the control of ShortStack, the API's offered by social platforms are sometimes a little lacking, but we can normally figure out a way to achieve what we need.

Our current web platform doesn't work well on mobile devices and is quick technical to use (we're fixing that!), but right now, ShortStack lets us build content quickly and easily for mobile targeted marketing.

Super easy to set up and very easy to make changes and publish them.

Nothing! Everything has always worked great!

For clients that don't have websites it's very helpful to use. Also for clients that have "form" submissions it's great to be able to track the submissions.

The support team is great and normally gets back to very quickly if you have questions or need help. Plus they have many online tutorials including video.

I really can't think of anything I dislike about it.

We are providing the application for our client's needs for sweepstakes and contest promotions. So we can offer our clients a quick and inexpensive solution to get them up and running quickly with their promotoin.

This product is great for giving you the tools to produce what you want, without a need for extensive CSS or programming knowledge. It is extremely user friendly, and the support team is very helpful and responsive. The widget based platform allows you to more easily visualize what is happening, allowing you to think of what else is possible for future ideas.

Although the new template design tools are a major step forward in terms of being user friendly, it can still be difficult to identify what exactly you are changing. It would be very helpful if there was a pop up help icon that gave a brief description and example screenshot of the section the option controls.

Shortstack is allowing us to quickly create and run campaigns with little to no involvement from anyone with actual development experience. This saves both time and money in regards to the potential cost of hiring a developer.

I love how easy it is to build great looking landing pages for our clients. Our web designers can use code to customize a look, but those of us with no coding knowledge can also easily create a nice looking page that get results. With the forms, we are able to seamlessly generate leads for our clients, collect emails through contests and make changes on the go without missing a beat.

There's not a whole lot I don't like, but if I had one complaint, it would be that we can't have more than two users without paying a premium.

Shortstack has given us a an easy way to develop a mobile website for a specific campaign without have to code one on our clients website. This saves us so much time, and it's super easy to make changes and updates as we go. It's also been a great tool for email capture and lead generation.

User friendly and also innovative! App that improves your ideas! You can explore and invent sth new at the same time.

Absolutely nothing! It is real time user friendly app!

Quizzes and awareness campaign

It's difficult to narrow down what I like about Shortstack. I used it for three or four years and was always very happy with results. I probably ran 20-25 different social media giveaways and contests.

I got to a point near the end of my use of Shortstack that I would have benefited from a less constrictive set of templates to build off of.

Massively successful awareness campaigns at a relatively meager cost.

The ease of having any questions I had answered.

I did not find anything I disliked

We wanted to run an in house contest. The ease of using short stack allowed us to focus our time and efforts elsewhere and not worrying about set up and execution.

By far and away the support staff at Shortstack is my favorite feature. Their responsiveness and ability to answer any questions that we throw at them is uncanny. The best in the biz!

There's not much that I have found that I dislike about Shortstack. Just being honest!

When our high level developers are working on other projects, Shortstack is a great tool for our digital project manager to use.

I've been using Shortstack for 6 years now, and I LOVE it. Not only is Shortstack easy to use, even for non developers like me, but their customer service team is ON IT. If I ever have a question, whether it be a dumb question about a widget or a very in-depth question about tracking codes from third-party sites, they have always been quick to get back to me. Even if they don't typically provide guidance for a certain feature (third party tracking) they gathered the whole team together until they found a solution for me.

Haven't found anything I dislike yet! I guess my only complaint is that the software improves pretty often, so just when I think I have it down, there's a new update I have to learn. But that's not a bad thing!

We don't have an on-staff web developer, and with Shortstack, we don't need one! We're able to build giant campaigns for worldwide brands, where more than 300,000 people participate, all on our own. Shortstack makes us look good and keeps our social media fans engaged and excited.

Many widgets in a user friendly interface! Lets you completly design your landing pages and contests, making them seriously original, not having to use any pre-established templates, and making it super easy (drag and drop!!!!) to design your own template. Basically what Im saying is that it will let you go as far as your imagination, and basic intuitive computer skills will let you. Of course if your outdated and cant even turn on the computer for any other than word or excel, maybe, and just maybe, you wont get it then... I was having the hardest time finding an app that would let me run a facebook integrated music contest, and couldnt find one. This app is SOOOO friendly, I designed a photo contest, to do the works of the music contest, thats how versatile it is. Plus, the staff are super friendly, always answering fast and friendly! Do try, totally worth your buck!

As it automatically does a verification for false voting, it alows either FB or IP adress, I wish it would alow the checking of both boxes, as it would make it so much more secure in only one vote per person contests. All else is GREAT!!!!!

Did a music contest for an electronic music festival, which ran ever so smoothly. Last year I ran it trough another site (not naming names) and it keep going offline, not registering votes, and many more issues. Luckily this year I ran into this FAB app, and had the sweatest experience, Worth every penny ;)
