Constantly freezing, unable to check out clients without crashing, unable to view past transactions easily. Version 2 was completely unusable and we were told there was no way to return to version 1. We lost all of that data and ease of use. > > For many years Booker was a good, functional system. Version 2 was the worst. Not able to use to run the business. Had to leave the service and move to another scheduling company during our busy holiday system as we were losing revenue due to the issues and inability to check clients (who use credit cards) out\! System just kept crashing. Do not use Booker version 2\!\!\!\! ----- ### "Booker is great for spas" — 5.0/5 > **Cassandra** | *13 March 2025* | Retail | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Mobile access across the board and ease of use. > > **Cons**: Booker has been fantastic in the spa setting. Not sure what could change at this time. > > It is easy to schedule clients and view the overall schedule for the day. ----- ### "Easy appointment management, schedule settings could be improved" — 5.0/5 > **Chantel** | *07 June 2024* | Health, Wellness & Fitness | Recommendation rating: 7.0/10 > > **Pros**: They notified you via email for every new appointment, making it easy to keep track of client appointments. > > **Cons**: Their practitioner scheduling could use some improvement, in terms of making it more customizable. There was no way to have practitioners on a bi-weekly schedule and had to be input manually week by week. > > Overall easy set up and navigation. User friendly for clients, however could use some minor upgrades with scheduling customization. ----- ### "The Worst system I have ever used\!" — 1.0/5 > **Olga** | *02 October 2025* | Health, Wellness & Fitness | Recommendation rating: 0.0/10 > > **Pros**: When it was working properly it was easy to use. Which was very far few and between. Giving employees access was easy, when the system wouldn't go down... > > **Cons**: The system was constantly down and in service with technical issues. The system is so slow and frustrating. It would go down and stop working on our busy days in the salon. I DO NOT RECOMMEND IT\!\!\!\!\! > > Terrible experience. I am cancelling and that process is also a headache. Just as bad as the system itself. And it is way to expensive for the experience.
