I like how easy it is for my students to pre-book their classes, the dashboard is awesome showing me who is attending for the day's sessions, and the emailing system is one of my most liked features.
With the last management software I was using I had to spend hours on the phone and honestly just dreaded going in to the gym to work on the computer.
Easy to use, very responsive and helpful developers to help ease our transition. All the features we want.
Lack of robust reporting. Lack of configurable signup menu (users see a long list that you can’t organize by category, yet).
This app was recommended by another user and it has made my life so much easier. Super simple interface, incredibly supportive customer service, and flawless member experiences so far.
A bit difficult to navigate belt ranks when different classes can count towards time in grade.
Customer service is great and very responsive which helps for troubleshooting on the fly.
I ended up choosing another product, but it wasn't because of any defect in the product. MAOR is both advanced and simple at the same time.
The software is easy to use, membership tracking is excellent and when there is an issue the customer support is very responsive.
Inability to remove a student who would never return without removing the family and losing all its history.
The New design work on my iphone and Ipad Beautifully I recommend this software to all the martial arts school out there.
The only drawback for me was the lack of a classroom/education management component to include substantive curriculum arc planning and tracking (not just attendance).
Customer service is quick to respond when the need arises. It is great for starters as the price adjusts to your school growth.
Unable to store documents/videos for students (this is a big use case for my school). Also seemed a bit difficult to bulk add student attendance.
Great software for tracking membership, students' progress and billing.
Estefan J.: My name is Estefan. I'm actually the owner of my academy and I give Martial Arts on Rails five stars. If you want to see more reviews like this, click the link below. So I actually never used a different software before. I mean, there were different options out there, like Zen Planner and different sort of yoga studio ones, but to be honest, I came across it on an ad, saw the interface, and I was pretty much just hooked right away. So to be honest, I was a bit familiar with Zen Planner before because it was using at the last academy I was working at, but the problem I found was it was just so bulky and clunky and it didn't really move. It wasn't optimized right. And so once I went to Martial Arts on Rails, I found that the interface was really nice. It looked very modern, up to date, and it was very fast and very responsive, which was a big deal for us. To be honest, it was really... It was very nice and easy. So we pretty much put it on all our devices. I have it on my phone, on our laptop, and our tablet. And in terms of actually getting the whole thing going, it really was super smooth. I mean, every time we emailed, we had a very quick response. I'm talking within half an hour and it was... We asked a lot of questions, but it was within half an hour we'd get something back. Oh, how does this work? How does that work? It was smooth sailing. Well, to be honest, I would just say if you've had a different one before, give this one a try. Believe me, it is a lot more simple and it just gets a lot of details done right. And with it being smooth and optimized, less headaches, it's just... It's a... Just give it a try. You got nothing to lose.
