### "Review of MyStudio"

June 6, 2023

3.0

Overall good experience

Pros

Customer service is great. I like the seminars. Still learning some of the features.

Cons

I think once a person inputs their information for any purchase, is should auto fill for everything else and not have to be reinput. Also, I would like to sell personalized items that Century Direct does not carry. This includes logo t-shirt, hats, hoodies, etc. Maybe consider partnering with a Printing company that can tie in like Century Direct.

Reason for choosing MyStudio

Recommended by my instructor.

### "Great for users, a bit challenging at times for admins "

May 3, 2021

4.0

We were a single unit user and then joined an organization that used the software so we chose to migrate our information over to the new organization’s format. There were some major challenges. It was eventually all corrected but not without the frustrations. Spent way too much time in the process.

Pros

The initial start up cost is relatively inexpensive. Setting up payments to pass on credit card fees was a game changer. They are continuing updating features.

Cons

Everything on the back end needs to be done on the website. Formatting is challenging. Merging accounts is not that simple. Sometimes email campaigns once set up doesn’t send so you have to redo the email message.

Thanks for your review, Annie! We look forward to releasing more upgrades and updates to you--which I believe will address the concerns that you shared. For example, we are working toward upgrades to the Operator app and control panel that will allow you to manage everything from a mobile device.

### "Wades Review"

May 3, 2021

5.0

I'm happy but would like to know how to use it better.

Pros

I like it gives the option of passing billing fees or taking them on ourselves. I like the app features great to give information and connect with clients.

Cons

There is no onboarding process where someone teaches you how to use alot of features. There also is no training opportunities you have to learn on your own. I need to watch your training videos but something like just being able to pull up clients birthdays i don't know how to do and don't know if it can be done. So more training for your clients.

### "Outstanding Product"

May 6, 2021

5.0

Pros

MyStudio gave my business an app to allow my clients to stay in touch and learn more about my business all in one place. The ability to schedule for classes has been incredibly helpful during COVID restrictions and I plan to continue that process regularly.

Cons

It is frustrating sometimes trying to update the app through Apple. Having to log into a developer account and enter information makes me nervous. MyStudio does a good job with step-by-step instructions and I understand it is Apple's requirement.

Hi Denny, Thanks for your review. We are glad that our platform is helpful to you, and we hear you on extra steps that you have with your custom app updates -- we are always looking for ways that we can streamline that process, and we appreciate your understanding that part of that has to do with working with Apple/Google and their app stores/processes. We will pass on your feedback to our teams!

### "Brings Martial Arts Schools Into The Present"

April 27, 2021

5.0

MyStudio took 8 separate services, systems, and softwares and combined them into one product for a fraction of the cost.

Pros

The ease of use, implementation, and constant development of their roadmap make this a piece of software that brought our business in-line with the leaders in the fitness industry in terms of accessibility and use of technology.

Cons

Like all SaaS products, it is not "one size fits all", so when you run into an issue their CS chat function takes a long time to get a response. They do have knowledge articles, but they're pretty basic at this point.

4.0

Pros

It is important that all of the offerings can be done in one place. the customer service is pretty great.

Cons

Its not intuitive or particularly user friendly. Updates and new aspects come out often but I feel left behind by them. I just don't have time to relearn the software.

### "PROMISES BROKEN "

September 10, 2020

1.0

At first was good, but when it became evident that the lack of client training and customer service with the whitelisting APP, they will shut off all tech support and will require you to pay for further training. The difficulty of getting the tech support for guidance especially if you have the whitelisting APP. Goodluck getting your APP to work properly. They will eventually charge you if you need further help.

Pros

Creating an APP was a good amenity, and the cost is good and fair. The developing part of the APP is the pain and continue to be. It's great, but not getting proper help in establishing is hard due to terrible tech support.

Cons

Billing is terrible and will cause double charging issues and confusion. Terrible tech support.

Reason for choosing MyStudio

At first pricing and ease of use.

We offer live chat, phone support, as well as email support from 9am - 8pm EST absolutely free. Our team always go above and beyond to assist our customers. In this particular case, we provided this customer with 23 one-on-one set up help sessions with our team without charging our usual fee of $19 per session. 6 out of the 23 session, this customer failed to show up or notified our team.

### "Student tracking and payments all in one system "

March 30, 2023

5.0

We love the streamline it has brought to our studio. Recommend it to all our business partners.

Pros

Once set up recurring payments are great. Very easy to pause a student and resume if needed too. Ability to send emails to all students

Cons

Secondary email doesn't always get emails. Confusing to navigate the different choices on tabs ex: multiple tabs say attendance but only 1 launches it .

Reason for choosing MyStudio

Customization towards martial arts. Student tracking

### "Great For My Small School"

March 29, 2023

4.0

Pros

MyStudio is easy to use. I use it to update promotions, take attendance, receive tuition payments, set up special events, etc. It's great for me and my families!

Cons

The one feature I really don't like, which I despise is the pop-up when students check in that notifies them that they cannot check in because of an unpaid balance. It is class shaming and terrible. Payment is between me and the parents. Students should not be burdened with this information. I know my families are good to pay. Things happens. I have called about this and filled an suggestion, but was told that they had no interest in changing it. I would warn others of this if I recommended MyStudio.

### "."

May 7, 2021

3.0

Pros

I like having one place that the parents can go to find out information and register for events etc.

Cons

All of the updates have made it time consuming and difficult to operate and maintain customer information. Customer service used to answer quickly and Im finding more an more I have to wait for a reply in a chat box for 20 min or more. : ( I used to recommend the software and app to everyone. it's been over 6 months since i've done that.

### "Thankful for this software"

February 2, 2021

5.0

I am very happy with this software. They are constantly adding new features (which I have to learn) and I know that I am not even using half of what they offer. I got on early so the price was right and I'm glad I made the jump into this century!

Pros

For someone who is computer illiterate, I am able to navigate through this software and get what I need accomplished. You can't beat the customer service!

Cons

Anything computer related is difficult for me so creating memberships, moving my students into the database and learning the functions is hard for me but customer service walks me through every step so at least there is that!

Reason for choosing MyStudio

The price was right and I couldn't handle a huge software commitment with my lack of computer skills. This software seemed the simplest and I will say it again, the customer service cannot be beat!

### "My Year with MY Studio"

May 14, 2021

4.0

Much better than my previous company, but still think it is missing several options.

Pros

The app is easy for my parents to use. It makes enrollment easy.

Cons

Difficult for multiple child families to sign up and purchase. Difficult for us as business owner for multiple child families to use also. Students/Parents can not check in on their phones.

July 7, 2022

I don't have to do billing. Money goes into my account. Support is outstanding.

Pros

Enrollment is a snap and dues are collected on time. Email of each transaction comes to my inbox. Retail sales is a snap.

Cons

Learning curve took me a few times. I had to write down each of the steps to enroll someone at first.

Reason for choosing MyStudio

I could not find any other product that did not have lots of complaints about them.

March 29, 2023

5.0

Pros

We were informed we were switching from one programe to mystudio. The process was awesome and easy. A year later we are fully up and running and so happy with the product.

Cons

Because we switched so fast a lot of the training behind the program was missed so it was not easy at first to learn the system. It is much easier now.

### "A passable studio CRM with some obvious flaws."

April 27, 2021

3.0

I've used several studio CRMs - MindBody, ZenPlanner, etc - and they are all, in their own way, awful. MyStudio was recommended to me by a friend, who sold the benefits in terms of clients being able to enroll themselves for memberships, and use a member app to check in. But the self-enrolment benefits are offset by accounting and reporting problems, and a lack of flexibility in membership and product types. The software probably works well for high-throughput karate and TKD dojos, and is likely geared toward them. We stay with it for now because there is nothing obviously better out there, and the hassle of switching back to MindBody, etc, would be more than it is worth.

Pros

Easy to implement. Graphic interface (dashboard) fairly intuitive. Easy to set up / sell events.

Cons

Appointments function is awful. Class types and memberships restrictive and not fully customisable. Poor functionality in reporting, leading to (sometimes expensive) billing and membership errors. Sub-standard smartphone app.

May 10, 2021

5.0

My experience has been very positive with MyStudio

Pros

MyStudio has increased our retail sales by 75%, with the ease of customers being able to buy on the app and pick up in the studio. MyStudio has created a one-stop experience for my entire business. Free me up to concentrate on more important issues.

Cons

A few areas have not been as seamless of a conversion, Promotional Testing platform is not as robust as my last management system, so I am still trying to work through some issues.

### "Lean and Mean Management"

April 29, 2021

5.0

Generally, excellent. It's strengths and customer service far out way any current deficiencies.

Pros

The comprehensive nature of it. The fact that it was designed by folks who actually currently work in the industry. The user APP has been a great addition to our customer service and convenience. MyStudio allows for leaner staffing on the administrative end, which is fantastic for my operation. The responsiveness of the team in regards to updates and bug fixes is excellent.

Cons

There are a few areas where it has not yet matured, requiring more work arounds on my part. However, my experience so far is that the product continues to improve each quarter, so I anticipate that to improve over the coming months.

Pros
