Before we had a paper schedule and you had to physically be in the salon to book appointments or call the salon and interrupt a coworker (not great\!). it was very easy to quickly navigate the app. We haven’t had any security issues. We pay once a year for the use the value for the ease of being able to book from anywhere is fantastic. It’s also awesome. You can make notes of what products your clients have purchased in the past so there’s no second-guessing a purchase. There is just so many great options with this app. it’s also great for clients who are booking appointments with multiple people you can look at just your schedule or select individuals schedules or everyone’s schedule. > > **Cons**: I honestly can’t think of any bad things about this app. every once in a while, the system is down, but it always gets quickly resolved from what I’ve experienced. > > It’s really just been fantastic. It doesn’t matter if I’m on a vacation on a boat in the middle of a Lake and a client messages me, I can still easily and quickly book them appointment\! ----- ### "Just Don’t Do It" — 1.0/5 > **Tammy** | *13 January 2025* | Hospital & Health Care | Recommendation rating: 1.0/10 > > **Pros**: That you used to be able to talk to a human. > > **Cons**: Support is horrific - they left me down and stranded for over a week with chat support not having a clue. Slow. Doesn’t integrate with accounting software unless you PAY MORE Access to app for employees yup. PAY MORE For each one. The cloud version is horrific and doesn’t work at all. Want to use your lap top at home to do some accounting. Nope. You have to buy a second version so PAY MORE Oh and the second license is ALWAYS down and never ever works. So it’s completely unreliable and a waste of money\! This software has potential. But your pay a fortune and it doesn’t do anything more then acuity. In fact Acuity gives you unlimited everything for $17 a month and integrates with everything without having to pay. I am paying almost $500 Canadian a month. To date I have not switched because it’s a huge job. But now that you cannot get support and they have no issue leaving you high and dry. I am out. > > I used to “tolerate” them because they used to have good support. Now They don’t give a crap. The message on phone says we switched to fast efficient online support because it’s going to be faster and more efficient for you. It’s absurd. I am mad. ----- ### "Happy with this booking system\!" — 5.0/5 > **Stephanie** | *02 February 2026* | Consumer Services | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Very user friendly, scheduling appointments is super easy. You can adjust features that fit your needs. Love that we can pull up reports\! > > **Cons**: If the internet is down and trying to processing a payment it doesn’t work. The Clover machine will not work without the internet. Also on the mobile app sometimes it doesn’t show if they confirmed or not > > We have 9 of us at our salon that uses DaySmart booking and everyone likes the ease of navigating around it ----- ### "User friendly" — 5.0/5 > **Denise** | *04 March 2026* | Cosmetics | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Very easy to use and set up was able to send birthday messages to all my clients which is a nice feature love how easy it makes my booking work as I am a solo salon > > **Cons**: If there is a problem it’s hard to get a live person on the phone also, wish there was an easier way to put our services in for our appointments > > I have been using this app for years and have never really had any problems booking is easy clients get there confirmations makes my business easier thank you ----- ### "Never look back\! Order your app today\!" — 5.0/5 > **Janet** | *19 March 2026* | Consumer Services | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: The learning curve was sooo quick. My clients all commented how much they appreciated the reminders and the ease of rescheduling was probably the most enjoyable. Also love the color identification of services and ability to book a whole year in a few seconds. The cost per month is very affordable. > > **Cons**: I have absolutely zero cons and have been using this app for over a decade. I can book my clients for a year in advance in just seconds. Love it\! > > Throw away those smudgy appointment books and messy scratch-outs and hard to read re-writes.
