Voomly Reviews

Summary: Looove it and I'm excited for more add-on features in the future. I hope there's more feature to add there Voomly. That's all.

Positive: Easy to use, I love the fact that I can add different CTA buttons, collect emails, add quizzes to my course and many more. And deciding what video to play next after one of my video plays is fantastic. I love how easy it is to use the funnel feature, added bonus the analytics. If you're creating courses like I do, this is a great software to use. I create my video using Filmora and free tools like Canva and to drive interaction I just import it to Voomly then add an interactive button. I don't know why people are not talking about Voomly. Are people gatekeeping it? Probably. I would to limit competition. lol.

Negative: It takes time to get to know all the features but once you get used to it, it's fascinating how it can help drive interaction in your videos. I haven't had a chance to reach out to their support team so I'm not sure if they're good or not.

Summary: If all you want to do is offer ONE course entirely on Voomly, then this is the service for you. But linking their individual, hosted videos simply does not work on virtually any website video widget you can name. If they could fix this seriously-deficient problem, it would be MUCH better. But as is, well, there are better options out there.

Positive: Ease of upload, no limit on video file size, quality skins with lots of options, fast delivery of content. If you have one course to sell, it's perfect. Setting up multiple courses in a central portal is doable, but very confusing to setup. I still have not figured it out.

Negative: In this era of online education, Voomly presents as a toy in the industry as compared to Vimeo or Wistia. It was recently purchased by ClickFunnels, a one-stop provider of hosting for online courses with it's proprietary marketing, "landing pages", and "sales funnels". ClickFunnels is very expensive and is constantly up-selling, marketing to it's user base and promoting company conferences, seminars, etc. You'd very easily mistake it for a multi-level marketing company what with it's cheerleading, pump-every-body-up meetings, etc. Why this is important is to identify the corporate environment in which Voomly exists.

I am trying to link my videos hosted on Voomly to my online course framework (LearnDash, self-built environment) but there no video widget or plug-in that will recognize Voomly video URLs as links. How odd. So, for me, it's pretty useless. I can embed videos easily, and I use that process for one-off videos as samples of my course offering. Embedding is the only thing that works.

Summary: Really really terrible, awful etc. Whatever word else is out there to describe something that is bad, awful terrible

Positive: There was no Pros to this product, it was just a waste of money. I tell people once again please save your money

Negative: I am just tired of companies lying to us consumers and miss representing the product that it does well on everything. You have to go so slow with this machine you might as well Pick up dirt and hair with tape around your hand. The vacuum head goes any which way it wants to except for the places you have to go. People beware, I would not buy this product but it is your choice. Companies quit lying to us consumers

Summary: Very poor. Software is not fit for purpose and has now evolved into another type of marketing driven app.

Positive: This appeared to be an affordable entry level platform for users wanting to set up online courses. The interface is accessible and easy to use and there are video explainers for most functions

Negative: It was quickly apparent that this software was a reworking of a previous Voomly video platform. Sadly, design and technical glitches began to appear when put to the test. Interactive videos which are claimed to be within the student experience are confined to the marketing resources. Student engagement options like quizzing are seriously limited to that - quizzing. Most crucially, Voomly users cannot track the progress of students. The final and decisive 'con' is that the certificate to be issued to students upon completion has never worked properly, seems impossible to configure and has now stopped working altogether. Tickets raised with no fix provided. That makes course software completely useless.
