Pros

“I also appreciate the integrated communication tools, such as email and text messaging, which help me stay connected with clients and manage reminders effectively. While I am still learning all the features, the system already feels like a valuable tool for improving workflow and saving time.”

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.”

“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

“I constantly experience issues with my cc flex machine not completing the transaction, which in turn for my clients that relay in using credit to pay for their services are not able cause of me to loose revenue for that day because now I have to wait to run the card or they pay in their next visit!”

“They also do not have a way to track back bar usage (business use of products) and it would randomly change our inventory and tickets.”
AH

Amy H.

Owner

“That I dont get notification when someone cancels via txt and the appointment disappeared so I cant see who was booked there”
RB

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”
