CAAtvans.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.....

GBSupport Problems! I've been with Apricot for years and their once superb support is gone. I submitted a support request that was urgent and it has been 4 days and no response. They have changed their interface and updated their system frequently and with each update comes a new issue with how system has worked for my non-profit group. Apricot, please address this shortcoming! PBGV Club of America

GBWild Apricot is helpful & patient 24/7. That makes a big difference to a small association! Wild Apricot is consistent, easy to learn and to master. The value of using this software is not just the complexity of learning new features - but the help provided if or when we need guidance along the way. We are a small staff with multiple tasks and interests to stay ahead of our member's needs. Wild Apricot is always there to answer our questions and point us in the right direction to move forward.

GBFeatures 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.

GBLow Cost, OK Basics, Unresolved Problems We have been using Wild Apricot for almost four years. We chose it because it was the least expensive club management system available at the time. The basic functions work pretty well. However the user interfaces (both for members and administrators) are reminiscent of software twenty years ago. We often get complaints from our members who have trouble logging in, making reservations for events, submitting payments, etc etc. Wild Apricot has not fixed a single problem despite numerous support requests. Moreover, WA has raised their prices, and recently forced us to convert to their payment system (replacing PayPal which we originally used), so WA now pockets transaction fees. We have finally had enough and are looking for a replacement. Hopefully new competitors have emerged in the four years since we chose WA. Edit as of April 2022: WA has fixed some problems while others remain. Improvement is slow and uneven.
