User Reviews for Square Appointments

Dates and Time is not working properly

The app changes the time. I entered 11 am and it changed it to 12 am and my client just sent me a text stating it says 12 am. I also have attempted to do 30 minute appointments and it’s been changing it to whatever minutes it wants. So if I want 11:30 it changes it to 11:21 and it’s a challenge to bring it to 11:30 am. And that’s if after several tries changing it to 11:30 am and not pm as well. Because it does that too. Keeps it on pm or am even though you want the opposite. If you are not super careful it changes it to whatever day, time it wants even after I have clicked on the calendar to that specific day. I like all the other features and I did have an issue from the get go on it switching the date on me when I specifically clicked on the calendar for that date however it is pretty easy beyond all the above mentioned issues. The customerService and marketing people are super nice and very helpful. I just wanted to report this issue because when a client texts me and states her appointment is incorrect it makes me look bad. When I know I try to fix issues on the time all the time. It never just works even once. I have to constantly fix it.

They broke what didn’t need to be fixed.

I use Square Appointments for periodic visits. As a small, single person business I have to watch cash flow very carefully. Missed appointments and cancellations really hurt. And I don’t charge for visits to our Alpaca ranch so there is no way I will ask someone to enter card information for a free visit with cancellation penalties. Recently Square took away the automatic confirmation from the free level. With Square’s recent change that now wants to charge me $29 a month for the one feature I really needed my rating has gone from 5⭐️to 4⭐️. I now have to take time to send personal texts/emails to my appointments the day before to get a confirmation. This means many cancel with little notice —two yesterday. And some ignore texts from unknown numbers and No-Show—one the day before. I run ALL my sales through Square do they get paid but they have gotten greedy by wanting at least a ridiculous $348 a year for something that was free! Poor choice Square!!!!!!😡😡😡

Good but not great...yet!

I’m a massage therapist and I just started my own business. One the biggest challenges that I’ve run into is client booking and then not showing up and me losing out on sales. This app helps with that. It can be made so clients have to put a card on file in order to book and hold a session for a reserved day and time, keeping the not so serious clients from wasting your time and charging a free for no shows with a cancellation policy. But, clients also have the option to remove their cars right after they book making the process unhelpful. I manually cancel sessions when clients remove their card from a reservation. I wish the app did that automatically. Also, the app doesn’t allow you to effective space out time between each session. Instead he had to add additional time on the back end of each session to create a time buffer between each session. That then makes the last time slot for your day unbookable but open for booking on your day bc the once 60min session that was intended to fit into your 60min slot that the client seeing the match in time but not the hidden additional time you added to the back end. So now your 90min won’t fit in the 60min slot you created for it.

Love it but needs more

I love this app, especially now that it’s free for individual use. I have been using the app for years, I wanna say the same year it came out, same with using the Square readers, and I must say it helps me out with my business SOOOOO much. When my customers started to ask about using their cards I looked into a machine that was portable and I found the Square machine you attach to your phone. And when I found out about the scheduling app too with the same company I was ALL IN! My customers absolutely love it, they love getting their reminders and that they get a confirmation on their appointments too. The only thing i would love for the company to change is the recurring appointment part and add a bi-weekly & a bi-monthly and not just daily / weekly / monthly/ yearly. Plus add a background color change button for customer when booking appointment so the color behind names can help distinguish the weeks length of time between last appointment and next. Example: when booking appointments the background color behind the name is blue and the name is white. But all the customers you book are the same color, Blue. (Which is one of my favorite colors) but I would like the customers who come in after 3 weeks to be a different color to remind me that they have been out longer than 3 weeks so it can remind me to charge more or if they need a certain service. That would help greatly!

Love it but want a little more

I love this app for my appointments. I am a hair stylist and I was looking for something that would help me keep track of clients appointments. I like that my personal calendar blocks out time in my appointments app so I don’t have to go back and forth to make sure people don’t book that time. I also like the the option for variations so I can off the same service but with tweaked prices for slight differences.I do have an issue with no-shows. I don’t want to take complete prepayment because I believe payment comes after satisfaction, I also have people who do not want to keep their card “on file.” Many carry cash or utilize cashapp as their method of payment. What I would recommend is a deposit option that can be placed on specific services of my choosing and that I can change the amount of the deposit for each service. Then it could give me a “deposit paid” button and I can input that amount and it be subtracted from the total service amount upon their arrival.Eg. braids are $100, I ask $25 deposit. On Monday, she cashapps me $25 and I mark her deposit as paid. After I service her on Friday, appointments app will show her remaining amount due to be $75.

All services don’t post on the online sight making it hard to charge customers correctly

The app was great in the beginning it was easy to input my information as a new business owner but when it came time to link my Facebook with Instagram that’s when the trouble started. I wanted to add the “book” button on my Instagram and when I tried to link the square support to the button it gave a message saying that a new Facebook manager had to be created in order for the “book” button to work. I did that, linked my accounts, put the square appointment URL in my bio on Instagram and still nothing happened. Also, going back to all services not being listed on square appointments website, I’m not understanding. On my app it lets me put services into categories and make it really easy to navigate, but when it comes to the customers reviewing my services online, they’re not able to see everything I offer and modify their services to attach to the original style. This makes it difficult for me to run a successful business. Can you please offer some help and please fix the issue!

Ughhhhhhhh

I REALLY want to like this app. Up until a couple days ago I was using Gloss Genius, but I would like a few more options for the price. I thought Square was my answer. Everything was all good until I added “modifiers.” At first, I LOVED them! Until they weren’t there to love anymore! About 24 hours after I added them, they were either not visible to the customer, not visible to me, or (my favorite part 😩) gone completely! If I view Square Appointments from my laptop, I can see all the modifiers, but still can’t use them. They seem to only disappear from my cell phone app. Customer service isn’t as available as I would like it to be. Call me old fashioned but if I click contact support and a text box comes up, I like to speak/text with a human, not an automated system that can’t answer my questions but is pretty efficient in giving me the runaround.🤷‍♀️If I could get this problem fixed (which by the way didn’t start happening until after they did an update today 🤔) I wouldn’t be reconsidering going back to Gloss Genius. Only other super small downside, it doesn’t allow you to upload your own contracts. But you can upload a file to your clients existing profile which I think is pretty awesome.

It was good when everything was free for users

It was good when everything was free for individual users now there’s a subscription if you want to use the app with some of its “premium features” available. One of the biggest complaints I have is if the system is going to charge for “premium features” like for example cancelation fee, if a client were not to show up you would think you would be able to charge the card as a cancelation fee if the user had one. If there is a cancelation fee taking place then sometimes the cancelation fee would go through and sometimes it wouldn’t, which is a big problem for self employed people that get payed by appointment typically. that’s a big no no, and for square to be charging a membership fee and the system not fully working for what we are paying for I think that’s a rip off. save the troubles and find something better than this system. I’ve contacted them numerous times about this issue and they can’t find a way to relief this situation. TRUST ME look for something else! They should have some sort of Pre-Authorization we’re they check the cards to make sure when a client is going to do a no show you can still charge them worry free!

Worst Customer Service Ever

I’m not sure if this is the only way I’ll get an email back or a call back. Yes I know it’s a pandemic and I’ve been really patient for a month but I haven’t received help in OVER a month. All I want to do is get into my account but I can because it’s connected to an old number. I can’t even get in touch with anyone. I’ve put in 4 requests that said they’ll be in contact within 24 hours. Well that was weeks ago. The only company that’s been answering me is Squarespace! I’ll definitely delete my account and every single time someone asks me about using this company or app I will demand that they try another company because obviously they do NOT care about their customers or their business. The fact I have to use a whole different system now is beyond me. The app even changed my days off permanently. I use to be off on sundays but it switched it to Monday’s now that’s what everyone sees when they book. Only person that helped me was a Twitter help center agent. But even then they told me to go somewhere else for help. I’m truly livid and never been so disappointed with customer service my entire life because it’s something I take SERIOUSLY ! Never again. And don’t waste your money.

Love it!

I operate a very small business that is just me helping clients with different technology needs. I looked at Square Appointments before, but the monthly fee was too big for me to justify it for the size of and amount of business I was doing. When I found out that Square was offering appointments for free for individuals, I jumped on the opportunity. Changed my invoicing from something else to Square and have been using the appointments.I absolutely love how I can sync my Google Calendar with appointments and can set my hours. This makes it so easy for clients to pick a time to schedule with me. I also really like how Square sends my clients reminders and allows me to easily send the receipts after they pay for services. This makes my job so much easier. Additionally, when I provide remote support, having the ability for them to pay an invoice directly through Square is really great. Yes, there are some processing fees with that, but they are well worth it considering how much easier it makes things for me!Also, I am really happy that square allows me to select multiple payment methods including options that are not credit. I can easily select cash or check if that is how my clients want to pay. Keep up the good work, Square! This app has made operating my business so much easier and it makes my operations look even more professional!
