Charlie - Impress anyone you meet App Reviews

When they figure out how to connect LinkedIn then I might look at this app again. As it stands right now, its pretty much garbage. All my business connections are on LinkedIn.

Beware, this app wants access to your calendar!

When trying to connect to my Google calendar I get an error message saying the app is not an authorize platform to make an OAuth request. I couldnt even make it through setup :-(

The app only works if you give it access to all of your contacts and calendar. Not only does it need your calendar, the only way it will do what it claims to do, is if your contact is on the invite. Not helpful!

If this app did anything at all, it might be great. If it was at least functional, maybe it would work. If even contacting them about any issues was possible, the app might even have the sense of even having a ground to stand on. The support email doesnt even work to get help for the garbage app. The whole app is garbage, just like the site running it.

Great idea, but it has never worked. I made repeated attempts to contact customer service or support with no answer. If you are not supporting the app anymore, then take it off the App Store.

Nice sales hack!

Cant stand the annoying emails and stupidity of this pos. I show up at the place and try to get rid of the stupid notification and for no reason it takes me to LinkedIn. Im fed up and deleting asap

Links to incorrect people and companies all the time, automatically opens LinkedIn without prompting (very annoying), wont ignore people Ive told it to ignore. Probably accurate 2/5 times. Not efficient or effective enough to trust. Frustrating that it was rushed to market without adequate testing. No faith in this app. Deleting.

I downloaded an earlier version of this app over a year ago and it didnt work. I figured Id give it another shot and lo and behold! It still doesnt work. It makes me curious what theyre doing with all the data they collect if they arent returning the results they say they will.

If you are meeting a new person Charlie can give you some icebreaker ideas.

I heard about Charlie and the idea of knowing more about people I meet sounded fantastic. Im doing a lot of business development and this knowledge is crucial. BUT the app lets you see only people you already have a meeting with. Actually much of the challenge is getting a meeting and if I know more about clients I can get the meeting. Also they offer the summary about the person you are meeting only an hour before the meeting. What?? I want to prepare a day in advance sometime. An hour before Ill probably be running in airports or in another meeting. So love the idea but I need to get this summary on anyone I need and get it when I need.

Thought the idea was great but found that the app didnt work as advertised. Some people it connected with were not the people in my contact list (right name, wrong person). Another person was correctly connected through their Twitter account but the app connected with the wrong company. I contacted the Charlie App Team through the website dashboard which says that they "usually respond within an hour or so". That was 5 days ago, and the website dashboard says that my message to them has not been seen yet. I did get an email through to someone at Charlie App and explained my issues asking if there was a simple way to fix ( like me manually associating a person with the right company). The response came back asking me to send them the connection errors so their development team could fix. In my mind, that essentially defeats the purpose of the app. Deleting my Charlie App account.

I am an Account Manager and meet with various (sometimes changing) customers on a regular basis. This app has given me excellent insights to help me stand out and build rapport! While it is not 100% on the info it provides - I do not believe that any app is. I highly recommend Charlie as your new personal assistant!

i tried this product as a recommendation and initially I was scriptural about its abilities and usefulness. boy, was I wrong. this is awesome and creates great efficiency in my life as I am not scrambling to "swat" up on me next victim (sorry prospect) before my meetings. nice job guys on this and worth the download and precious memory space it occupies on my mobile device. thats huge praise by the way.

The app keeps switching to LinkedIn randomly.

Getting last minute insights on my prospects and customers prior to meetings is amazing. Only reason I gave a 4, not a 5-star rating is because Id like to see it scale for the +plus iPhone models and possibly integrate to more services. Otherwise awesome!

Im still trying to figure out connecting C to calendar! Questions:why am I unable to merely enter someones name and have Charlie proceed to do its work? Why do I have to go through the drill of entering a calendar appointment?

Ive been using Charlie for almost a year now. It continues to get better and 9 out of 10 times it accurately finds all kinds of information about the company and person/people you are meeting with. They have done an amazing job with this app. It saves me 10-15 minutes of time before every call/demo I do, which adds up to nearly 2 more hours a day that I have to focus on work. Kudos to the team for a great idea. I dont understand how anyone could give this a 1 star rating unless they arent smart enouh to connect their calendar to the app so it can do the research for you.
