**Rating:** 3.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Higher Education | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** April 06, 2016

**What do you like best about SimplyBook.me?**

The dashboard view and calendar view make reviewing/changing information easy.

I don't like that you have to choose the provider and then a time. Our clients are confused by the multi-step process.

It would be nice if I could send emails to clients sorted by the day of their appointment.

This has allowed us to easily schedule providers and clients. 

**Official Response from Rut Steinsen:**

With regards to the report plugin then we have that on our to-do list to improve that.  

Thanks for the idea to send customers e mail by appointment day, that could be a nice feature.

Best regards

It's user friendly and easy to access. I also like how people can give reviews easily.

  ### 9. Great place to schedule client when you don't have a lot of them.

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Health, Wellness and Fitness | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** April 06, 2016

**What do you like best about SimplyBook.me?**

Easy to use and add on to. Interface is great.

Definitely use this company if your starting out or expanding.

**What problems is SimplyBook.me solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Scheduling clients.

Keeping them organized.

**Official Response from Rut Steinsen:**

> Dear User

Thank you for your feedback, we truly appreciate it!

With regards to the features included in each package then we are trying to make it as cheap as possible for the simple businesses but then charge more for extensive features to cover the development work.  We also want to help new businesses by having our software free for all companies accepting less than 50 bookings a month. We truly believe that our pricing is very reasonable compared to other similar companies and our goal is to provide a great product at affordable prices for all companies.

Best regards

  ### 10. Very poor customer service!

**Rating:** 1.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Education Management | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** December 14, 2014

**What do you like best about SimplyBook.me?**

The system is simple for customers to use.  

**What do you dislike about SimplyBook.me?**

Each time a customer books it creates another file for them. Hard to look up records instantly with may files with the same name.  I was told the system updated and as long as all information is the same the system merges the information but this is not true. I have contacted customer service to no avail.

Instant upgrade is not available so the system cannot grow with your business.  No where did is say that when subscribing and therefore I either must change booking systems or be held back during a busy time of year.  I have contacted customer service to no avail.

**Recommendations to others considering SimplyBook.me:**

Very difficult to figure out. 

Customer service not easily available.

Slow in response and slow to fix issues.

Different responses to same issue.  Nothing resolved.  This has happened numerous times.

**What problems is SimplyBook.me solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Benefits out the window with no simple upgrade or simple merge.

**Official Response from Rut Steinsen:**

> Dear User,

I am sorry that we are only seeing this complaint now and not 2 years ago when you posted it.

First of all, thank you for the compliment that the system is easy to use, that is exactly our goal.  With regards to the upgrade, then you can buy an upgrade package enabling you to upgrade immediately to a more extensive package.  However, if you buy new subscription and not an upgrade pack, then the upgrade is enabled as soon as your current package expires or you need to ask our support to change the new subscription to the upgraded one.

We do pride ourselves with our Live Chat today, which we didn´t have 2 years ago.  Now we have Live Chat available 17 hours a day in order to help you with your questions as soon as they arise.  We have had hundreds of clients thanking us for a great customer support.

Kind regards
The SimplyBook.me team
