I can't say enough about this app. The results I received from my Crowdfunder campaign were amazing. I pulled in almost $20K for pre-orders of my custom MOC Designs using LEGO bricks in addition to pre-orders for my kits.

The interface was clear and the customers could see how the goal was progressing. In less than 24 hours, I hit my goal of 75 printed manuals and 12 custom kits which covered the entire production value and more of the project.

Will definitely be using again in the future.

This APP was just what I was looking for to be able to run a pre-sale crowdfunding campaign directly from my website! It was straightforward, simple and easy to use! I had a few questions at the end and Julian was an amazing support and guide with his guidance and transparency. As an artist entrepreneur trying to raise funds for my creations, I so appreciate the fact that the monthly fee is all is incurred and not additional percentage is taken as revenue. So honest and fair, thank you!

Hey MYSTIC MAMMA! Thanks for the awesome review.

So glad the pre-sale setup was painless - that's what we're aiming for. Julian's going to love hearing he nailed the support experience.

The no-revenue-cut pricing really does make a difference when you're bootstrapping creative projects. Every percentage point counts.

Good luck with your campaign!

This app would be much more helpful if:

Bundles were integrated into the program, allowing users to offer pre-sale packages similar to Kickstarter. Currently, if you use Downpay (the suggested payment app for smaller pre-sale down payments), you can't use a bundle app—which is necessary because Crowdfunder doesn’t support bundling natively.

There were better visual representations of campaign progress. The app currently shows a due date and basic text indicating how far along you are toward your goal, but it could be much better. Aesthetically pleasing progress bars or visual indicators would greatly improve the experience.

We ultimately had to delete the app and build this functionality ourselves.

Thanks for the thoughtful feedback and for giving Crowdfunder a shot.

You’re absolutely right, the current widget is functional but not inspiring, so we’re rolling out a fresh design with multiple style presets (dark mode, retro, party mode, and more) to better fit your brand vibe and make campaign progress feel more tangible.

Appreciate you taking the time to share this. Even when users move on, feedback like yours helps us build a better product for the next launch.
