Pros

“We needed more flexibility around trip types, availability, booking logistics, and managing the unique scheduling needs of charter customers.”
BB

Bree B.

Administrative Assistant

“It worked well for scheduling trips, managing customer information, and keeping our calendar up to date.”
BB

Bree B.

Administrative Assistant

“As our charter business grew, Square Appointments started to feel more like a general appointment-scheduling tool than something designed specifically for fishing charters.”

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.”

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

“There can also be occasional glitches with calendar syncing or notifications, which can be frustrating when you rely on it for day-to-day appointment management.”

“The biggest downside is that some of the more advanced features can feel limited, especially when managing multiple staff members or more complex scheduling needs.”

“There isn’t anything that stands out that I did not like about Square Appointments. If I had to choose something it would be the lack of branding options.”

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”
