### "Excellent Convenient App"

December 11, 2018

4.0

I love the way that there is constant development, and improvement since i first joined 2 years ago. The app has allowed me more room for quality time with clients, as customers can schedule appointments at their own convenience, without interfering with consultation sessions.

Pros

The app is extremely user-friendly and advances on a monthly basis. The support is always friendly and very responsive.

Cons

Nothing really, as I said there are so many things still to come and to add, which is extremely exciting.

### "Love Booksy Biz!"

November 4, 2025

5.0

Been great! I’m loyal for sure. Booksy Boz knows how to make you feel like family and I think that’s what got me :)

Pros

Easy to use the app. My clients have never complained and I also like feeling valued, had a fun time hanging out at the yacht party

Cons

The boost fee gets charged even when you do not check a client out meaning most likely that client did not show

### "Would recommend for beginners "

October 23, 2025

3.0

I’d rate it a 3/5 because I’ve had a wonderful experience overall just a few things that I don’t agree with; no flexibility in confirmation message, referral links lead to mandatary app download, booksy boost disputes.

Pros

I like the easy navigation for providers. It’s very simple to add necessary information and pricing. The varies options for styles help with versatile stylist that offer many different services.

Cons

I would advise changing the need to download the app via our referral links. It deters clients away from booking unless providers know the loophole of just googling Booksy and searching the stylist there but the website falsely gives credit ( which is hard to dispute at times) for the at route. I’d advise the confirmation methods that clients receive. They should receive a customized text or email that allows providers to add more information ( parking or directions help)

### "Back to business "

October 24, 2025

5.0

My experience with booksy has been positive. I have encouraged a few stylist to try it out. The possibilities are endless.

Pros

The reason i chose booksy above all the rest of online booking site is because of how easy it is to manage and customize.

Cons

That it doesn’t have a bio page where you can introduce yourself to clients. Also customize time slots for different clients some clients take longer then other so i would like to be able to change the amount of time.

### "Perfect book inside for new entrepreneurs"

October 25, 2025

5.0

Love it best book site that I have used so far since I have been an entrepreneur entrepreneur, I give it a 10 out of 10.

Pros

I love the feature of the app. you can customize your services deposits as you want. It helps me with scheduling an appointment management for my clients. It also helps me send out reminders or notifications when I’m having a happy hour or have something special for the holiday holidays. For the value of the money, I value Booksy in the security that has given me and also the learning curve it has provided for me.

Cons

The thing I like the least about bookie is that well honestly, I don’t have any kinds about books now that the app has been updated. Everything is working officially as it should.

### "Easy and helpful "

October 24, 2025

5.0

My overall experience with Booksy Biz has been great. It’s very easy to use and makes managing appointments stress-free for both me and my clients. I love that everything is in one place — booking, rescheduling, payments, and reminders. The app helps my business stay organized and saves me time each week. It’s user-friendly, even for clients who aren’t very tech-savvy, and the pricing is fair compared to other booking platforms I’ve tried. Overall, Booksy Biz has made running my business smoother and more professional.

Pros

I like that it’s super easy for both clients and me to use. Booking, rescheduling, and managing appointments are very simple, and everything stays organized in one place. I also like how professional it looks for clients and how convenient it is to communicate and confirm appointments through the app. Great features and very secure for my clients and I.

Cons

The calendar can be a little confusing to navigate at times, especially when adjusting availability or moving appointments around. It would be nice if the layout was more user-friendly and flexible when updating schedules.

### "Bragging on Bookst"

October 24, 2025

5.0

I am enjoying the app as far as the promotion for my business. I am also a fan of the no show policy that can be implemented through the app

Pros

I like how Booksy made my profile accessible to first time clients .This app has helped me grow my business exponentially.

Cons

I would say that the navigation of the app has been the most difficult area. I had trouble getting my Facebook linked to it

### "Things I like and don’t like about booksy"

October 23, 2025

5.0

Overall, I like it a lot just a notifications I do with other booking applications. That’s like the only thing I don’t like about boosy

Pros

Scheduling and appointment management and the features and the marketing they have is great and it shows you how good you’re doing week two week on your sales

Cons

It doesn’t give you notifications instantly or text message like other booking apps do I would really like to get a text message or email instantly when a client has booked with me

October 23, 2025

5.0

Very convenient and very friendly for beginners that’s new to booksy easy to navigate for my older and younger clients

Pros

I love all the services that booksy offers from easy booking to multiple payment options my clients love that they get appointment reminders! Also I love the security of know my clients information is safe.

Cons

One con that I have is the monthly fee and on top of the fee that comes out when someone books online !

### "simply the best"

October 23, 2025

5.0

I love all the options and how many people uses the platform. The fact that so many people is on the app helps to promote who you are and your gift.

Pros

The Boost program really works and the email blast to keep engagement with clients are intuitive. I also like how the profile set up is and how you can share a space with other team members of your shop or location.

Cons

the payment process is too many steps. There needs to be a way where customers come in and on their end initiate the payment so that way there’s no conversation on if they will be using the app to pay.

November 5, 2025

I would say it's good overall. Customer service is great and the system is pretty easy to use. I would give it a B+

Pros

Learning curve. Customer Service is pretty good, and always available to answer all my questions. For the value of the money is good.

We did not like the boost feature. We had Charges showed up in our account all of the sudden and we were not informed well about this.

### "Need more business "

November 4, 2025

3.0

I love the platform in allowing Clients to schedule and pay on line. I wish i was able to showcase Booksy on my Facebook page without having a Facebook business account.

Pros

I like that clients can pre pay before so I am protected with my time and scheduling. I love that clients can leave a review.

Cons

I thought I would be getting a new client at least very other week. Wanted more advertising from Booksy.

### "Booksy Biz Makes Everything Easy and Professional"

October 23, 2025

5.0

My overall experience with Booksy Biz has been very satisfying. I’ve already acquired more customer reviews from this service in the two months than I had on Google alone from almost two years at a previous establishment.

Pros

I love that it makes booking easy for me and my clients and that it helps me keep detailed records of each client. I also love that Booksy automatically sends a follow up email to each client and allows them to leave you a review right there and then.

Cons

The only gripe I have with the app is that I think the checkout tools could use some improvement. I prefer that the tipping option be made available after the initial checkout has been made, rather then beforehand, because it makes things a little awkward and if you’re using this app on a phone then it can be difficult for clients to read and accidentally be overcharged or mistakenly be charged for a tip they may have not known—this mainly applies to cash tippers.

### "Absolutely worth the monthly subscription "

November 4, 2025

4.0

Overall it’s an incredibly useful tool. It keeps my book open and running smoothly. I can take payments, communicate with clients adjust my hours all with ease and quickly and concisely.

Pros

I like the ease of use for my clients. Also being able to just share the link or the QR code is incredibly convenient

Cons

There are a few bugs. When you go to type when using message blasts the cursor jumps backwards and makes it a mess. I also don’t like that we as the business can’t rate the clients like Uber. It would be really nice to know if a client has a tendency to no call no show a lot of barbers. Or if there are any other issues with them as clients. Even if it was as simple as Booksy letting us know “hey this person has 6 no call no shows against them from other people” so we can know to have them prepay or not.

### "Love it needs some updating "

October 27, 2025

4.0

My overall experience with Booksy has been great other than not being able to put in the credit card. I do like them. I do get a lot of business through them and my clients think it is pretty easy to use.

Pros

I like most about books is that people can search your business on a platform without knowing who you are so there is a 50-50 chance that you get a new client

Cons

The least thing I like about Booksy is not being able to put on file their credit card and not making the Client in their profile. Have a updated one. There are a lot of clients who have a credit card that no longer work so when you try to charge the cancel fee or no-show it does not go through so you lose out money.

### "decent app"

November 4, 2025

2.0

Overall its been a good tool to plan and keep structure to my business but overall it hasnt helped grow my business at all

Pros

Works really well as an organizational tool with a good layout design and an easy to use interface.

Cons

Honestly the app is pretty decent but the one thing i dont like is all the “marketing” and “boost” ads, because when you take the time to try to use them and give them a chance they provide no results in getting you new clients, for example ive had my account boosted for 2 weeks and did everything booksy asked, as a result i havent booked any new clients, not one.

October 25, 2025

5.0

Boosky has helped scale from 0 clients and now I have serviced over a 100 clients within the first couple of months and average $600 a week straight out of barber school using the Boost program. I haven’t got one client with out Boost or haven’t did not one promotion or any promo. Boosky has done it all. I highly recommend this platform for any barber trying to grow or win in the industry.

Pros

Overall I love everything about Boosky. All of there features has helped me grow my business, and made my Barber journey more efficient and organized.

Cons

I haven’t found nothing on Boosky that I don’t like, so far, every feature has been an asset to my business and growth.

### "Booksy Biz For The Busy Stylist"

June 29, 2025

5.0

Overall experience, Booksy Biz is a great software for booked and busy salons to run smooth and efficiently.

Pros

What I liked most about Booksy Biz is clients can book at ANYTIME, even 3am, without having to reach out to me, and the notifications will update me so I'll have the option to be able confirm or reschedule in advance.

Cons

What I least like about Booksy Biz is it being a little harder for the older, not so tech savvy, clients to understand, especially with advance payments for service deposits. I have also had clients double book by accident and it will look to another user as if that time slot is unavailable.
