I consistently receive feedback from my patients of their appreciation for the appointment notifications.
It helps to consolidate the schedule so everyone can see the schedule from wherever they are.
Pros
I like the automatic reminders that are sent to customers.
Cons
We have had multiple tech issues, you cannot change the name on an appointment or the original customer will get notifications instead of the new one.

The employees of the company who are interested in mental health services access my calendar through YellowSchedule and schedule themselves where they see openings.
Pros
It is generally pretty easy for me to access my schedule and see what appointments I have.
Cons
I do not like that when a person schedules an appointment, cancels that appointment and then another person schedules in place of the first person, I cannot see who the second person is unless I take the extra step of clicking on the Group Details Page.

Hi Kari,
Thanks for taking the time to share your positive feedback on YellowSchedule with other users, we really appreciate it!
We've responded to user feedback that setting up recurring appointments was more complex than it should be and we've completely updated this feature. This now supports a much wider variety of repeating appointments.
Best,
Martina

Staff can see their appointments, and receive notification when appointments are booked, but also Management can also see all this information at a glance, and easily investigate communications between staff and clients - very effective for any complaint or query!
I just have to tap the date and time I want and click on my clients name and their appointment is scheduled.
Pretty much seamless appointment scheduling, reminders and now EMR.
Pros
Automated appointment scheduling.
Cons
Need automated wait list option.Have needed support to sort out how to download patient contact information.

And, I love that it sends out a reminder email; which has eliminated last minute cancellations and reschedules.
The ability to receive incoming SMS messages is an advantage of Yellow Schedule as we have found that some of our customers prefer to communicate via SMS if they are unable to answer their phones to schedule the appointment.
It allows me to keep in contact with my clients and the reminders have cut my cancellations down no allow me to fill the slots when someone can't make their appointment.
The only two modifications I really could use are clients able to cancel their own appts and a "customizable" appointment status list.
Pros
It offers appointment confirmation, not just reminders
Cons
The app is very unstable, one of our users cannot get it to work at all. Functionality on the app is not good.

When you go to set up an appointment near the bottom of the computer screen, the box that opens up should be close to where you are typing.
