Atvans.org Hi We’ve been using WA for our website and Association software for close to 4 year. We had great success, emailing members, growing our membership, registration for events,online store, newsletters, etc. Our ~4500 members have great praise for the communication the software allows us to do. I could go on, but this just works. No more excell spreadsheets.....

Customer service is non-existent Customer service is non-existent. I've been told for days to utilize the live chat feature - nope, it is not available and hasn't been for days yet we have a paid subscription. The templates are buggy and when you ask a question about why it isn't working you get referred to a FAQ that doesn't address the issue you are having. I don't think there are actual people who work at this company. Plus they are increasing their prices for this below-average software and services.

Restrictive and difficult to customise Restrictive and difficult to customise. I've used Wild Apricot for a few years but NOT by choice. It's for a client who uses this platform. Coming from the WordPress background (which I have worked in for over 10 years), I find WA so incredibly frustrating to use. It's got very few theme options, hardly any features (i.e. no contact form widget for starters!) It's so clunky. Avoid, avoid, avoid.

Support: You are on your own! As others have stated, in a single word, Support is what is lacking. We've been using this for about 6 months after the trial period. During the trial period, Support was excellent. The problem is that you will not learn everything that you will need during that period. After you purchase the product/membership, Support is practically non-existent. Text support is naturally truncated. Email support has taken up to 3 weeks to get a response. Would not recommend them. I also would not pick any products in the Personify family of companies.

Features are not intuitive and… Features are not intuitive and difficult to find how they work. An example; An organization is late on their annual dues but pays for an event. It appears to put the money for the event toward their late dues.
