Can’t open the app

I honestly really like the app and that’s why I was ok paying for it. However when I open it, I just get a blank screen. I still get the alerts but I can’t open the app. I tried deleting it and re download it but that didn’t work.

Response from developer

Oh no! Our most up-to-date version of TableOne is packed with performance improvements as well as a suite of testing tools to make it easy for us to debug issues our users may experience. We’d love for you to try the most recent version of TableOne and let us know what you think!

Bait and switch!

I never leave reviews for apps but I’m so annoyed by this app that I couldn’t resist. I loved using this app until they suddenly and without warning required users to pay for the same features we’ve used for free for months. This app is useless to me now because why would I start paying now? Talk about a bait and switch!

Bad update

This app worked wonders prior to the update. Charging is ridiculous but I am willing to pay for it if it works properly. I have a completely flexible notify set but it’s only alerting me for reservations 7 days out when if I go on resy for the same restaurants I can see more available reservations.

Old UI/UX was better before 16th August 2024 update

I first got into using this app when I needed help getting reservations at hard-to-get restaurants. It ease my days of having to check Resy everyday and being 1 step slower than everyone else. With the old UI, I get to see empty reservation slots for every restaurant featured on the app in live mode.

After their update, while the UI looks aesthetically pleasing to the eye, I don’t get to see reservation slots anymore. I will click on a restaurant and it will show a picture of the restaurant, the statistics of number of pax likely to book for that restaurant, and a button to create an alert. So, if you were late to an alert and even if that slot is still open, you won’t be able to see that slot in the app. And they’re charging $9 a month or $49 annually!!! This is outrageous given there was twice in the month that I paid where the live updates went out!!

I don’t think the $9 I spent was worth it at all. In the end, Resy notification alert gave me the reservation that I needed. I wish I can ask for a refund. This is really disappointing.

New update

Why would i pay such a high price for the same platform that was free 2 weeks ago? If you want to start charging thats one thing but the price is ridiculous considering how many reservations apps are out there. That being said I loved this app before the update

Changes for the worse

In addition to paywall issues, the app has been consistently changing for the worse. Used to easily be able to see what last minute reservations are available across multiple restaurants. In addition, something the app can’t replicate is the fact that restaurants frequently reach out to you personally by texting or calling if you ask to be notified on Resy. About 50% of the time Resy would notify me before Table One so to have it behind a paywall is ridiculous

Good before the app had to be paid for

I was a big fan of this app prior to the pay update. I told all my friends about how this aggregated all hard to get Resys and we actually had some success. I’m a bit disappointed now with this new update and not sure this is differentiated in many ways from what Resy can do for free. Bring back the old TableOne!

Paywall too expensive

App is a bit janky, no custom times, and paywall is a joke. Would love this if it were free, or there was a pay as you you make reservations as opposed to paying for maybe getting one faster than elsewhere

Better than my Amex Card

This app is the reason I’ve been able to get into over 50 of NYC’s best restaurants. It consistently delivers me notifications of availability that Priority Notify I get with my Amex doesn’t. The user experience for setting an alert is also far superior to Resy’s, and I only have to create one alert as opposed to creating one every day on Resy. Elite product, highly recommend for New Yorkers and those visiting the city.

A bit ludicrous

Why would you pay for an app that *might* get you a reservation when you can, you know, just pay for a reservation? A bit absurd, especially when the app is incredibly buggy itself. It’s nowhere even close to a product that warrants a 50/year subscription model.
