Boomerang for Gmail Reviews & Product Details

It's hard to pick what I like best about Boomerang. But if I had to, I would say the return to inbox if recipient didn't reply is top of the list. No one can try and ignore me with the hopes I will forget. Simply put, all of its features have transformed how I work. I use my email inbox as my to-do list. I send myself emails all the time and time them to arrive when it is most efficient. Scheduled messages to myself and my team also helps to ensure regular tasks are never forgotten.

I have become dependent on it like a drug addict? If the day comes when I will not be able to use its features, I will truly have to completely change how I get work done. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Send Later when crafting emails.

Reminders to follow up with different scheduling options and whether we got a response or not.

Whether I am interacting with teammates or with potential customers, I use Boomerang for Gmail multiple times in a day.

In the last decade of using Boomerang I may have reached out to customer support twice or thrice. Very helpful support. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Nothing to dislike as such.

Just that sometimes I get confused between the button with many actions for one email and the small logo on top that takes me to manage scheduled messages. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The ability to schedule emails to be sent later is super handy. It’s useful for managing different time zones, or just for planning your day more effectively by drafting emails when you’re thinking of them but sending them at a more optimal time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There have been occasional reports of Boomerang not syncing properly with Gmail, or scheduled emails failing to send on time. While these issues aren't extremely common, they can be frustrating when you rely on Boomerang to ensure emails are sent exactly when you want. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

This was the OG innovation and a great addition to managing my Gmail box. I was an early subscriber and used Boomerang for years. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Has not kept up with innovation. Gmail now embeds a feature for scheduling and resurfacing emails. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Makes my appointment scheduling incredibly quick and easy Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The default subject line keeps disappearing, and I've had to regenerate a new one repeatedly. I finally stopped trying, but now I have to manually type it every time, which is not really a hassle, but would be nice not to have to do everytime. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It's been helpful especially when I have an email to send at a later time and I might not remember the time to send it, so I just schedule a time for it to be sent. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It needs more features so that it can be more popular in the business industry Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like the fact that it limits my emails so when I am cold calling, I can focus on that and not the emails coming in. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Nothing! I love this game program and I highly recommend using it! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I use Boomerang in two specific ways: 1) to help find a meeting time that works for everyone (some people are just allergic to Doodle polls) and 2) to delay emails so they are sent out at the time of my choosing.

Both features are great. I'm an independent consultant, and when I am working with a company where everyone can see everyone else's schedule, but not mine, I can just share availability and everyone's happy.

I use the delayed emails for making sure instruction emails hit people's inbox at the right time (hint: it's not first thing on Monday morning when their inbox is full of news). It works seemlessly and I am super happy. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I have found that some people (email recipients) are "afraid" to click the buttons that show up in the email when I use "Suggest Times". They just send me an email telling me their prefferred time, rather than clicking the button. (eye roll) . And I'm not sure if it works well across time zones (I dont know if it "translates" the time), so I am hesitant to use it outside of my own timezone. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I use the 'return conversation to inbox feature daily' when I send emails out to make sure they come back to my inbox if there is no reply. I use this feature daily. This helps our team make sure that no follow up slips through the cracks without us having to note it separately! I also use Boomerang Bookable Schedule for scheduling interviews, it makes it so simple for candidates to select times and automatically sends an email out with calendar invites and video links. The boomerang team is also super helpful and quick to reply if I'm ever having any issues. Boomerang integrates seemlessly with gmail. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Sometimes emailed get pinged back to my inbox even if there's been correspondence since then on the thread. I think this happens when someone replies to a different email on the thread or I've sent another additional email they've replied to, etc. so I've boomeranged the 'wrong' message. This can just be annoying - but its really not a big issue and better safe (multiple emails that I don't need) than sorry (missing an important follow up!) Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
