“Not one to leave a review, but I feel people need to be forewarned for the mobile app. Years of issues, started using in 2018. Yes my iPhone is updated, yes I’m using the latest versions always.

“I really wish the app had a way to open your books up at a certain date of each month. That way clients can anticipate your books being open every month, two months, etc… Also, I don’t like the fact that the mobile app only lets you add one size photo in the details of a service. For instance if my photo is more rectangle, it’ll end up getting cut off because it only allows a square photo. Not sur…”Booksy Biz: Booking & Payments
“Unfortunately, my gym uses this app. I’ve been going to this gym for years and have to login to this app to reserve my spot in class. Over the hundreds, maybe even a thousand, times I’ve opened this app, there has always been an error. “Whoops! Something went wrong” is something you should just get used to seeing. Obviously something is wrong with the code, but throughout the app updates they’ve …”Zen Planner Member App

When searching for a person or keyw…”Meta Business Suite

The app also doesn’t allow you to tell the difference between a client that cancels their appointment and a client that simply moves their appointment. I’ll get an alert that they’ve canceled when they have rescheduled an appointment. Also the app doesn’t; allow you to move the appointment within the dam…”SalonBiz Stylist
“Jobber could and should be great but imagine if their developers houses or their office flooded and they couldn’t get ahold of a plumber on the weekend. They’d be irate They’re elitists who think they’re special because they can code. Instead of humble people working with service workers they actually think they’re doing you a favor because they have a skill you don’t have When your app breaks…”Jobber Field Service Software
“This app is an absolute nightmare. I genuinely cannot understand how MindBody has the audacity to call itself functional. The interface is clunky, outdated, and feels like it was designed in the Stone Age. Trying to book an appointment or manage anything is a full-time job. It glitches, freezes, and kicks you out constantly. And don’t even get me started on the login process—it’s like a labyrinth …”Mindbody Business
