RG

Ritu G.

Scientist

“Not offering clients slots that are available, booking clients in slots that aren’t supposed to be available and open times in the diary are not showing to customers.”

Rebecca G.

Massage therapist

“The software is relatively expensive compared to some other time-tracking and scheduling tools on the market. While Timely provides some basic reporting features, it doesn't offer as many advanced reporting options as some other tools.”

Manager

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.”

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