Pros

“It helped me with managing my business and scheduling my calendar for myself and my clients.”

“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.”
SG

Sandra G.

Cosmetologist

“I did recommend it to a colleague of mine who was a new stylist and she has had a good experience on it because she will gain new Client from it and she doesn’t have to fight them because she wasn’t in my situation where she had been doing her for a very long time getting referrals from clients. ”

Cons

“Customizing the booking page beyond the basics requires more effort than it should. And if you have a more complex multi-staff setup, the logic around calendar management can get confusing quickly.”
DT

Dimitri T.

“Acuity Scheduling is on time-based events, so it's not a solution for multi-day events, industries like hotels, and bed and breakfasts.”
DK

David K.

President

“Customizations require CSS/HTML, which non-tech savy users may find inconvenient or difficult to implement changes with.”

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.”
KA

Kaye A.

Owner

“The boost fee gets charged even when you do not check a client out meaning most likely that client did not show”
