A hassle free was to schedule.

Reviewed 5 years ago

Great, would reccomend and use again.

Pros

It's very straightforward to use and set up your listings. The support staff are always on hand, and they also have helpful articles to follow. Simple pricing plan makes it easy to explain to others why you need budget and what it will allow you to do. Free trial without entering card details helps to get a minimal viable product up and running to show others and argue the need for the service.

Cons

Could add some more ways to filter bookings quickly, but this can be done with easy workarounds.

Vendor response

Thank you for taking the time to give us a great and honest review Christian! If you have any more feedback on what you think we could improve around the bookings filters, please do let us know via chat or email! - Jenny

Great for Dance clubs or any other after school clubs

Reviewed 2 years ago

Great. Super friendly staff and so easy to use but if you do have questions you can do an online chat

Pros

This software makes booking classes easy. All the information is stored and saved for the organisation. For those booking on reminders and confirmation emails are sent do they have clear details of what they have signed up too. The page it sets up for you looks professional and classy.

Cons

It does not link to my account software or mailing software

quite complicated for what my business needs the system for

Reviewed 6 years ago
Pros

Easy integration into a website build, and the look of the system is professional. The support team are also really helpful and even though it takes a long time to set up it does what it says on the tin.

Cons

The flexibility an administrator has to change sessions with dates and times is very limited and when you need to change descriptions of play sessions, you have to be extremely careful about which ones the system changes when you make a change

Vendor response

Thanks for the review, Ashleigh! Glad to hear the integration was straight forward for you. Thanks for the feedback too - it's really easy to change details of an event, but we are adding in enhancements soon to make it easy for the change to happen as an exception within a recurring schedule of events. Thanks for using Bookwhen!

Makes life so simple

Reviewed 8 years ago

Bookwhen has revolutionised the way we run course & activity bookings, saving our volunteer leaders hours and hours of administration, allowing our members to quickly and easily see what's available then book courses, and giving fast & easy access to the instructors on who to expect. Despite being on the free package the support from the team has been outstanding, and i can't find anything that comes close to the functionality.

Pros

Simple to use and loads of features

Cons

No cons were added to this review

Vendor response

Thanks for the positive review, Chris! It's great to be able to support you. If your requirements get more demanding and you need to take payments online, then we offer 20% off all subscriptions for charities :) Thanks, the Bookwhen team.

Really better than I thought!

Reviewed 4 years ago

Took a while to get set up , but just kept chipping away . The back up has been invaluable and saved so much time , response time on queries is very quick ! I used the free trial to get set up, although it looked like my paying month was shortened because of that ? Maybe the trial could have been a bit longer to alow for the set up would be my only negative comment

Pros

Pretty much easy to use and set up , and can personalise so looks less off of the shelf

Cons

clients are a little confused on the passes button , as it looks like there is only one pass available

Ease of use

Reviewed 4 years ago

The situation with covid-19 impacted my business. I teach yoga and my demographic is retired older people many of who were shielding. Bookwhen gave me the opportunity to take my classes online via zoom and a way to pay using paypal. It was easy to set up and it is easy to manage.

Pros

I wanted to create a website so that clients could book and pay in advance of my classes. The costs of creating one from scratch were mounting, a friend suggested bookwhen and this proved a much cheaper and easier way of bringing my yoga business online.

Cons

The only negative is that it doesn't look as 'sexy' as wanted it to. It is a little boring in it's over all look. But it does the job and does it well.

Bookwhen is so easy to set up and use! It really only takes minutes!

Reviewed 6 years ago
Pros

I love the fact that you can add future dates for classes at the same venues, without needing to set it up each time. Really easy to cancel bookings or transfer places if you need to. A really clear user interface and easy to switch between public view and admin view!

Cons

I honestly can't think of any downsides from me! The only minor point I can think of is that it'd be great to be able to have the 'send reminders' option I the basic package too, as I just don't run enough classes to warrant paying for more, but I appreciate something has to give

Vendor response

Thanks very much for the love, Claire! Always great to hear how happy people are with the system :) Cheers, the Bookwhen team.

Excellent Customer Service!

Reviewed 3 years ago

I recently contacted Bookwhen to cancel my subscription as I haven't been using it. I received an email from [SENSITIVE CONTENT HIDDEN] and thanks to her friendly advice, I've switched to their free plan in case I need to use the software again. [SENSITIVE CONTENT HIDDEN] has been fantastic through our email chats and has never tried to push me to do anything. I happily recommend Bookwhen as you can be assured that there's a great service team behind the scenes to help you :)

Pros

I decided to use this software after another trainer recommended it to me. It's worked very well for me when I've needed it and would recommend it to any trainer doing online classes.

Cons

I've had no problems using this software and nothing obvious that needs improved

I am happy with it.

Pros

Easy to use, great customer support, affordable.

Cons

An option where people can confirm their email address when booking would be great. Also, a "book" button etc when choosing a class/product would be great. Some people dont realise how to book.

Makes life easier!

Reviewed 2 years ago

Great customer service and overall really user friendly and efficient and no issues so far.

Pros

It's easy to use, navigate and adapt to your business and needs. The customer service is responsive, swift and efficient and it just makes bookings, ticketing and scheduling so much easier.

Cons

The cost is still quite high for a monthly service especially for a small sole trader business like myself, a scale of payment options would be great whereby individuals, start ups and small scale businesses could pay a lower rate than bigger businesses - anything to keep costs low would be welcome. Loyalty and referral discounts too

BookWhen has spared us from a lot of phone calls. Getting clients to an event was never this easy.

Reviewed 6 years ago

1. Informing about event details and having the clients book a seat easily. 2. Unique attendees is definitely a plus. 3. Lesser phone calls and enquiries about the events from clients which saves a lot of time and resources.

Pros

Capping certain number of attendees for an event is the best feature so far. Alongside unique attendees is definitely another best feature we require. Customizing public pages is worth the mention as well.

Cons

Everything works perfect except its UI feels like it could definitely use a complete design overhaul.

Hi Keshav, thank you so much for your review! Saving you time and easy bookings is what we're here for, and your feedback about our UI is very valuable. - Jenny

Reviewed 7 years ago

reduced volunteer time and easy to use centralised system

Pros

Being a charity we wanted a solution to aid our volunteers to book their training requirements. Bookwhen has offered a simple to set up and use solution, it has also meant we have reduced workloads of other volunteers by having a one stop centralised booking system

Cons

So far only found a couple of small minor improvements that I would like to see however the benefits far outway any cons. I am also sure that once submitted the company will look to incorporate into future versions

Thanks for the great review, Steven! Hopefully one day Bookwhen can get their booking systems Scout badge :)

Easy to set up & use, brilliant customer support!

Reviewed 3 years ago

[SENSITIVE CONTENT HIDDEN] was our contact and has been super with regards to everything from answering questions, tech help, product suggestions. Responding very quickly and instantly in lots of cases! The product is great, does a great job of making our events look professional, plus making it easy to use for both us as admins, and the customer! I’d really recommend it to anyone selling tickets, events courses, coaching, etc etc

Pros

The software was easy to set up and use ( even for not technical persons like me) It looks super professional and gave our events a quality feel. [SENSITIVE CONTENT HIDDEN] who helped us through the whole process was fantastic!

Cons

There are a few things we would have liked to do with the software for set up and changing events, but for the value of the product it does almost everything we need!

Book when makes my business look more professional. It saves me time and energy on my admin and my clients love it too.

Wish I could click a button to add photos. I know there is a way to do it but I never took the time to work out how.

Vendor response

Thanks for the wonderful review, Debra! It's pretty easy to add in photos to event descriptions, and you can host an unlimited number of photos on your Bookwhen account too :) For the time being it requires some very simple 'Markdown' coding, but in the future we will be introducing an interface to make this event easier.

Absolutely essential

Reviewed 3 years ago
Pros

I recently started art classes and this software was game-changing. You just have to create your event and send the link to whoever wants to register. You don't have to worry about forgetting someone's email or having the class overcrowded or try to remember who paid and who didn't. Bookwhen has every feature you might need. It's extremely easy to use and even easier for the clients to book.

Cons

Although I'm not using the payment feature yet, I wish there were more payment options.

easy to set up, high degree of functionality, integration with zoom and payment methods.

Pros

relatively easy to set up and its integration with other third party software such as Zoom

maybe too much information displayed to the end user can cause some confusion. May be away to have universal settings for each class entry that can be accessed and changed. This may be available I just did not find it, as I am a relatively new user.
