Could be better... Much better.

As it is nice to have the app; the limited admin privileges are annoying at times. I would love to be able to retrieve and print reports. However this is an issue, my big problem is the log in/out function. Its location is poorly thought through on a user interface level. As you nav through calendar you continue to accidentally log yourself out; this is SO annoying its kind of a joke it has not been addressed before.
All and all the app is poor to ok.
STX please look into an iPad version as well.

J. Considine's

I love this app!! We have WiFi and it works perfectly all the time! All the people that are giving this app a negative review must not have a good internet connection. We have an iPad set up in the back room so the stylists can see when their guests have arrived and check to see their schedules without having to annoy the receptionists and we all love it! Stop hating and invest in some WiFi! Your guests will love being able to get some work done while they're processing and your stylists will be happy they don't have to keep checking the front door every 60 seconds!!

Owner

Another home run for ST! I have been a dedicated user of the desktop software since the launch of the company. With our global society and mobile business climate it is amazing to have your business data at your fingertips. You can run into a client in the market and book themon the spot!! as far as price the iPhone app is less than a latte and the STX fee is about a dollar a day ..!
Seriously people I can't believe anyone would comain about that.
What is your time worth?
Plus your clients will think you are uber cool and just think of all the referals you can book next time you are at a party! No more kitchen consultations just fire up your I phone & fill your book

Ok enough! But I could go on
Way to go team ST!!

What an amazing App your book and client info whatever you are!!
Love this App and great service from all at Stx

This is the best thing to happen to stylists and salons in years

Update is much improved

Thanks for taking care of the connection and pairing issues that at times have previously bogged down this app. No problem with connection for several weeks now. And now with the specific button in the settings window, no more accidental unpairings. I've always liked the app for the freedom from being tied to the front desk it gives me and now with these pesky issues solved, it's a total winner.

Goals feature is a winner

This investment has more than paid for itself with the goals feature alone. Every one of my SPs has their goals in hand at all times and knows exactly where they stand after each appointment has been completed. After the first two months with this app in their hands, ticket averages had risen significantly. The app does a lot and I highly recommend it.

Amazing!!!! Can't wait for the update.

So far we have bought this app for everyone in our salon and they are over the moon about having access to there schedule 24-7. Setting goals and keeping track of tickets helps boost sales and profits in our shop.
Thanks STX for the great software:)

Very Frustrating!

I agree with most of all the other reviews. STX is great when is actually opens, but it is a 50/50 chance that it will actually connect. It is quite embarrassing when you are trying to book clients and the app just won't work. Also frustrating when you need to view your schedule out of the salon and the app just does nothing no matter how many times you try to get in. I have also heard that this problem is being worked on, but I have been using STX since December 2010 and it has not improved.

Please STX, please fix it so I can love this app!! Very important for running a successful business!

Dissapointing

We spent $1500 on the main program specifically because of the ability to use this app with it, but it is SOOOO frustrating that it only connects not even half of the time. PLEASE fix this. It would ROCK... if it worked!

CEO

STX has changed our business & our lives (seriously!!) We were (miserable) Mikal users for 10years, and after spending 1/2 of what we did with Mikal in 2001, 2 iMacs, a MacBook Pro & 2 iPads, we went live on STX in Jan, 2011 and wow- STX is truly light years ahead of the competition!
Amazing!! I can't believe anyone complains about paying a one time fee of $5!! STX is the best business decision I have ever made!! Is priceless to have 24/7 access to my business, no matter where i am! It's so worth it! I have a staff of almost 30, almost all of whom have downloaded this app on their iphones & ipods, no longer have to call the busy front desk to see when their 1st client for the day is! They can see their appt book before coming to work!
We also have an iPad in the breakroom for the staff to see who's checked in, see their appt book, goals & daily totals, formulas etc.
I'm not sure why others are having trouble connecting to server?? We are not experiencing that, but we leave our server on 24/7.
STX & this $5 app has changed our lives! Thanks STX!!

Great idea

This app is a great idea and when it works, I love it! But at least half the time it won't connect. So frustrating when I see a client out and about and try to book them an appt and the app simply won't connect. Please fix!
