Hi there, thank you so much for your review! We’re glad to hear Zanda automation tools are helping streamline your workflow from booking through to invoicing.

I use Zanda (formerly Power Diary) for my speech therapy clinic. It makes writing notes and scheduling easy for therapists, which I really appreciate. What I like most about it is that it’s easy to use. The initial setup was very easy too. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Irina Shvetsova of Zanda (formerly Power Diary)

Hello, Thank you for taking the time to share this, we really appreciate it.

It’s great to hear that Zanda is making note writing and scheduling easier for your therapists, and that getting set up was smooth. That day-to-day ease is exactly what we aim to deliver for busy clinics like yours.

If you’re open to it, our support team would be more than happy to run a quick practice health check with you - looking at how you’re using Zanda and suggesting ways to get the most value for your clinic.

Thanks again for your honest feedback, it really helps us continue improving. Warm regards, Irina.

"Effortless Booking and Seamless Integration for Solo Practitioners"
5/5
What do you like best about Zanda (formerly Power Diary)?

I find Zanda (formerly Power Diary) extremely valuable for my occupational therapy practice due to its user-friendly nature, which made it easy for a newcomer like me to set up without any pressure. The ability to test it out slowly before fully committing was a significant benefit, especially since I'm the only practitioner in my small OT practice. The integration with Zoom or telehealth is particularly helpful, simplifying online client connections in an entirely virtual practice. I appreciate the software’s ease of use and the flexibility it offers, with multiple pathways for tasks like inputting client details, making it very accessible. The automation features, like setting up email or SMS reminders, are easy to use despite me not using them extensively yet. I also value the integrated forms, which are well-worded and specific, aiding the setup process efficiently. Furthermore, the pricing structure is accommodating for a slow-growing practice, ensuring I don't pay high for unused features, making it an appealing option to continue and recommend. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Zanda (formerly Power Diary)?

I dislike the limitation in Zanda's group meeting feature where there's no option for a general link due to privacy settings, and it only provides a recurrent link. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Irina Shvetsova of Zanda (formerly Power Diary)

Hi Liesel, thank you so much for sharing your thoughtful review! We’re thrilled to hear that Zanda has made it easy for you to set up and grow your occupational therapy practice at your own pace. It’s wonderful to know that the flexibility, intuitive design, and built-in tools like Telehealth and integrated forms have supported your transition into managing an entirely virtual practice.

We also appreciate your feedback about the group meeting feature and the link options. We’ll be sure to share it with our product team for consideration.

Thank you again for choosing Zanda, we’re delighted to be part of your practice journey! Warm regards, Irina

"Fantastic Software. Made my life so much easier"
5/5
What do you like best about Zanda (formerly Power Diary)?

Zanda Health is a very easy program to use in our everyday work. Whilst not using everything that is available the features are extensive. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Zanda (formerly Power Diary)?

Reporting could be made simpler and more extensive, especially in the financial area. Ongoing cost of SMS messages sent and received to the PowerDiary - cost is excessive. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Irina Shvetsova of Zanda (formerly Power Diary)

Hi Malcom, Thank you for coming back to update your review, we really appreciate it!

It’s wonderful to see that you’ve continued using Zanda over the years and that it’s still supporting your everyday work. Hearing that the platform remains easy to use, even as you’ve explored some (but not necessarily all) of the extensive features, means a lot to our team.

We’re committed to keeping Zanda intuitive and reliable, while continuing to expand what’s available so it can grow with you over time. Thanks again for your continued trust and for sharing your experience with us. -- Warm regards, Irina / Jan, 2026

Hi Malcolm,

Thanks so much for your review here. We're very happy to hear that Power Diary is making your life easier - it's exactly what we strive towards!

With regards to the SMS messages, please note that you don't pay to receive any messages, just to send them. If you're finding that your costs are high, check that the messages you're sending are not too long. If they are longer than 160 characters, the provider has to send them as multiple messages (and then rejoins them into one). This is not something we can control but if you keep your messages shorter this shouldn't happen. All the best, Fiona

"Zanda has been revolutionary for our practice"
5/5
What do you like best about Zanda (formerly Power Diary)?

We were a old school until we implemented Zanda into our practice. It has provided a one stop shop for all things client based and sped up invoicing which had been extremely laborious. Our clinicians enjoy the professionalism of the software and found it really easy to implement. It integrates well with Xero and the customer support has been essential in improving high end use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Zanda (formerly Power Diary)?

Some add ons not required so means unnecessary scrolling down the screen. Would like a better way to combine invoices rather than rewording the statements to look like an invoice (and the ST needs to be able to be edited out!) Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Irina Shvetsova of Zanda (formerly Power Diary)

Hi Kylie, thank you so much for sharing your experience with Zanda! We’re really happy to hear it’s been such a big shift for your practice—especially speeding up invoicing, working well with Xero, and giving your clinicians an easier, more professional system to use.

We also appreciate your feedback regarding extra scrolling, invoice combining, and statement editing. Feedback like this is really valuable as it helps us refine and improve Zanda so it works even better for practices like yours.

It’s great to know having everything in one place has made life easier for your team. We’re excited to keep supporting you and your clinicians as you continue to grow with Zanda!

Warm regards, Irina

"Revolutionized Our Counseling Service Management"
4/5
What do you like best about Zanda (formerly Power Diary)?

I appreciate how Zanda (formerly Power Diary) has seamlessly integrated into our counseling service over the past two years, making our practice run more efficiently. The initial setup was straightforward, even when used for only a few counselors, and its scalability to support our entire practice without any difficulty is impressive. The automated text and email services stand out as the most useful features, significantly simplifying our operations. These functionalities have, in essence, revolutionized the way we allocate clients to counselors quickly and effectively. Furthermore, the text function has been instrumental in reducing missed appointments, which directly benefits our practice's efficiency. Lastly, Zanda's capability to change the way we run our service convinces me of its value, and I would definitely consider buying it again. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Zanda (formerly Power Diary)?

I think the way some reports are run doesn't align with how I want them to turn out. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Irina Shvetsova of Zanda (formerly Power Diary)

Hi Michelle, thank you for such a thoughtful review! We’re thrilled to hear how Zanda has supported your counseling service over the past two years and helped streamline your client management and communication. It’s wonderful to know that features like automated texts and emails have made such a difference in reducing missed appointments and improving efficiency across your practice.

We also appreciate your feedback about reporting, and we hope that the new custom reports feature we are working on will meet those needs.

Thank you again for your continued trust and support. We’re so glad Zanda has become an integral part of your practice’s success! Warm regards, Irina

"Helpful, Customizable, and Supportive Platform for My Practice"
4.5/5
What do you like best about Zanda (formerly Power Diary)?

I really appreciate how easy it is to schedule clients and see my appointments at a glance. The invoicing feature has been a big help for managing payments from senior centers and home visits. Most of all, the support team was extremely helpful when I was setting up my templates, which made a big difference for me, especially since I could customize them to my specific needs and keep adjusting them as my business grew. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Zanda (formerly Power Diary)?

One area I think could be improved is the selection and transfer of podiatry-related templates. When I was creating my templates, the offerings for my specialty were a bit slim, and the one I chose didn’t transfer as well into my notes as I’d hoped. Also, Zanda doesn’t allow me to track my business expenses, only income. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Irina Shvetsova of Zanda (formerly Power Diary)

Hi Donna, thank you for sharing such a thoughtful review!

We’re so glad to hear that Zanda’s scheduling, invoicing, and customizable templates have been helpful for managing your practice, and that our support team made your setup experience smooth and personal. It’s great to know the platform has supported you as your business has grown.

We also appreciate your feedback about podiatry templates and expense tracking. You’re welcome to email us at support@zandahealth.com with details of the podiatry templates you’d like to see in Zanda, our team will be happy to review your suggestions and add them to our template library where possible.

Regarding expense tracking, Zanda integrates with Xero, allowing you to manage and track your business expenses directly through that integration.

Thank you for choosing Zanda and for being part of our community, we’re thrilled to support your work! Warm regards, Irina

"Efficiency, user friendly and forward thinking UI design team —Room Booking Could Be Smoother"
5/5
What do you like best about Zanda (formerly Power Diary)?

Helps out busy practice keep all our PID secure. The UI is easy to use and the team are highly responsive to our requests for new features. We have been able to personalise our own version with everything we need. It’s saved a lot of man hours and made the management less stressful. We particularly like the new chat and note transcription features. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Zanda (formerly Power Diary)?

Adding resources is tricky. A more seamless room booking diary would be good. An app version to book rooms and send internal comms would be brilliant. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Irina Shvetsova of Zanda (formerly Power Diary)

Hi Rebecca, thank you for your thoughtful review!

We’re so glad to hear that Zanda has helped streamline your practice management and that you’re enjoying the new team chat and note transcription features, both were designed to make collaboration and documentation faster and more intuitive.

"A great platform for clinicians and clients!"
5/5
What do you like best about Zanda (formerly Power Diary)?

The Zanda platform is great, providing tailored options for clinics. This includes how they communicate with their client base via email templates and automation set up.

Access from clients to an online portal, where they can check appointments and invoices. Again all options can be controlled and tailored by the clinc.

Further to this Zanda adapt and listen, always on hand for direct support and are open to ideas, where you can detail an option and if viable this can and will be supported.

They complete regular informative webinars to help drive the use of the platform and are always progressively moving forward with their client base.

I have used many platforms in varying industries and I think Zanda is the most intuitive, with options to personalise and allow clarity for both clinicians and clients alike.

I highly recommend this health care system. It makes our clinic seamless and adapt to the needs of the business! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Zanda (formerly Power Diary)?

Some features and automations do not work specifically for our clinic. However ideas are submitted and awaiting feedback or approval. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Irina Shvetsova of Zanda (formerly Power Diary)

Hi Glen, thank you so much for your kind and thoughtful review! We’re absolutely delighted to hear that Zanda is supporting your clinic across so many areas—from bookings and client communication to clinical notes and automation.
