"One of the best apps for digital loyalty cards!"
I think the design of Boomerangme is very nice. The app is created to make it very easy for users (with not much experiences like me) to create great digital loyalty cards in just minutes, and launch the campaign in a super easy way (simply scan the code or send the link created). The features offered by Boomerangme is very rich. The types of cards that can be created are one of the richest. And the options made available in each type are very very thoughtful, covering everything I can think of for each type of cards.

"Simple Fast and Intuitive. I had fun too. Don't miss this."
Loyalty Card or Carte de Fidelite ( as it could be called in french) has now a simple, intuitive and new way to be created, customized and distributed.The templates are nice and SIMPLE to use and customization is done with less complexity on the front end. Was built for no code enthusiast. The option to upload your file is great and the language personalization is just a piece of cake. Mouah!...

"Excellent product"
I recently tried Boomerangme digital cards and I must say, they are excellent. The variety of card designs is really nice and the fact that they are all digital makes them very convenient to use. I found the process of creating and sending a card to be very simple and user-friendly. What impressed me most was how reliable the service was - every card I sent was delivered promptly and without any issues.

Boomerangme has many pros but the one that stands out above the rest, for me, is their passion. The staff are ALWAYS at hand to help and Mikhail, the CEO is proudly Boomerangme. They help until the issue is resolved. The second biggy is the product is evolving, bought it 2022 and have seen and experienced several seamless upgrades that pack a punch.
