Pros

“The overall experience was pretty good because I was able to keep track of my books easier and customers were able to book, but it would be that way with any booking app.”

Sandra G.

“It doesn’t give you notifications instantly or text message like other booking apps do I would really like to get a text message or email instantly when a client has booked with me”

Cons

“I have to manually send invites and manage time-zone changes for each student, which can be time-consuming when I have many recurring lessons or students in different countries.”

“I have also noticed occasional Bugs and Issues such as delayed notifications, synchronization problems between devices, or events not updating properly in real time. While these issues are not very frequent, they can still create confusion and affect productivity when handling important appointments or work meetings.”

“The biggest downside is its limited customization and advanced features—it works great for basic scheduling, but it can feel too simple if you need more complex planning tools or deeper personalization.”

Melinda W.

Owner

Cons

Honestly the app is pretty decent but the one thing i dont like is all the “marketing” and “boost” ads, because when you take the time to try to use them and give them a chance they provide no results in getting you new clients, for example ive had my account boosted for 2 weeks and did everything booksy asked, as a result i havent booked any new clients, not one.

“Limited features such as memberships offered to clients don’t have the capability of reoccurring charges for memberships it has to be manually generated.”
