Pros

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

Angel P.

Barber

“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.

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. ”

Pros

“From scheduling and staff management to add-ons, forms, reminders, and guest experience, it’s all very thoughtfully designed.”

Amilda P.

Owner

“No ideal payment (payment system commonly used in The Netherlands) but it doesn’t matter because the rest is 5-stars.”

Amilda P.

Owner

“The booking system itself is also extremely sophisticated while still remaining very user friendly.”

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.”

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”

Alexia R.

Owner, loctician

Cons

“I would like to be able to customise the book now platform more and I don’t like how you get charged 5 credits for a txt message.”

Denise H.

Salon owner

“The joy thing Ovatu is missing for me is time segments for clients.”

Fay C.
