### 2/5 — Lacks the most basic functions

*2023-08-16*

This app lacks any kind of useful functionality, you can’t change bookings or see them in time order without going to the actual booking . Can’t see if customers have signed a waiver. It really only can check someone in. That’s all.  
Not all business have a computer or internet , some are off grid and rely on phones . Whilst Checkfront in general have great customer service there are a lot of things that need work. . Sorry guys but this is a major downfall. I hope you update soon !

### 2/5 — Doesn’t do anything

*2023-01-22, version 2.6.13*

You get nothing but a snapshot of your calendar with no function…

### 2/5 — Junk app

*2022-07-14, version 2.6.13*

Unless the app for iPad is as user unfriendly as the program itself and I just can’t figure it out, I consider it to be junk. Can’t access any information on an invoice beyond notes and payments.

### 4/5 — Great program, good app!

*2020-10-10, version 2.6.13*

Really great program, the browser based system is amazing! Could use more features in the app but does most of what is completely essential, no glitches or trouble with the app though and love the program!

### 2/5 — Lacks basic and necessary functionality

*2019-09-20, version 2.6.13*

It lacks such basic yet necessary functionality it’s unbelievable. 

There is no way to see the booking times or calendar layout. You need to click into every booking for the info.

 It’s also not possible to change a booking from the app.

### 2/5 — Can check guests in, not much else

*2019-07-27, version 2.6.13*

Very limited functionality. I just use the mobile site in safari instead of the app. It works for guides to meet guests in the field(unless the need shuttle pickups), and for charging guests on mobile with square, otherwise a waste of time.

### 2/5 — Never seems to work properly

*2019-04-29, version 2.6.13*

Can not search for bookings using the calendar. Used to be able to- maybe it’s a bug that needs fixing. Don’t really use the app since it’s way less functional than desktop version.

### 2/5 — Très limité

*2018-03-03, version 2.6.0*

Application fonctionnelle mais à part pouvoir vérifier les réservations cela ne sert à rien d’autre

### 2/5 — Really poor functionality

*2017-04-03, version 2.5.2*

The app pretty much doesn't do anything apart from display your bookings. You can't edit any products or anything useful, that other ecommerce apps can do. Really disappointed, especially as it's not a cheap product.

### 4/5 — Opinion

*2016-12-09, version 2.5*

This application is very good but it is giving me problems because when you open a reservation it freezes and closes the application.

### 4/5 — "Find by Calendar" keeps crashing!

*2016-10-09, version 2.4*

Otherwise, easy and efficient

### 4/5 — Me

*2016-04-04, version 2.2*

It's good!

### 3/5 — Basic, Quick, but could be improved

*2015-12-18, version 2.1.1*

The App works well and gives some great information.  It's quick and let's me see what's going on at a glance in my business.
I'd really love to see some features added such as the ability to change an invoice on the fly (add products and change pricing) plus charge credit cards directly in the App.

### 1/5 — No recent Updates

*2025-01-26, version 2.6.13*

This App has not had an update in 5 years.  The functionality is basic and limited.  If a company was vested in their product one would expect any update at least once a year to keep up with their peers.

### 1/5 — Far Too Limited Functionality

*2024-07-08, version 2.6.13*

Come on Checkfront you can do much better than this. Should be able to have a good amount of the web interface functionality in an app. For my purposes this is nearly useless.

### 1/5 — Horrible and makes me very angry that I'm forced to use it.

*2024-04-13, version 2.6.13*

The mobile web-based version isn't much better either.

### 1/5 — Can’t edit bookings

*2022-07-18, version 2.6.13*

This app is useless if I can’t edit bookings.

### 1/5 — No support

*2022-07-07, version 2.6.13*

We tried everything to go and make this our program we thought it would be easy.
Nothing absolutely nothing is easy in this program!
Not liking this at all not worth the money.

### 1/5 — Needs more work

*2020-09-04, version 2.6.13*

Would be nice to have more options in the app.

### 1/5 — Needs an overhaul ASAP

*2019-05-04, version 2.6.13*

Really a piss poor app experience. You can do way better!!!!!

### 1/5 — Needs work

*2018-06-22, version 2.6.6*

Completely useless, you can’t edit order or anything meaningful while using the app. You can’t open a map in Apple maps or google maps for and address.  You can’t add items to an existing order and take payment. You can only creat a new separate order witch makes no sense if you’re with a current customer. 
Overall this app is completely useless.

### 1/5 — Not enough functions

*2018-06-11, version 2.6.6*

Can’t add items, hard to login, can’t change/refund customer

### 1/5 — Annoying bug

*2016-02-01, version 2.1.1*

Can't create a booking from the app. Crashes all the time. Tried to delete and reinstall: same. 
App launch, I hit "plus" symbol to create a booking and finally try to add items. App crashes at this moment and close. Useless at this time.

### 5/5 — Great app for booking

*2022-03-20, version 2.6.13*

We have used checkfront for the past 4 years and it has made life easier

### 5/5 — I’ve been using Checkfront for my guide business

*2020-01-07, version 2.6.13*

I have been using the checkfront app for my guide business since 2017. That ability to check dates on my phone when I’m out on the lake and immediately respond to customers with up to date availability take the stress out of managing bookings. I would highly recommend, as it is extremely easy to use.

### 5/5 — Great app

*2019-10-23, version 2.6.13*

A great app for a great tour booking system

### 5/5 — Works

*2017-10-22, version 2.5.5*

Perfecto. Simple.

### 5/5 — Checkfront Rocks

*2017-02-28, version 2.5.1*

Have used many Property Management Systems over the years as a Director Of Marketing for resorts. Checkfront and team behind it are rock stars; they listen and then iterate (while being sure to not make this another bloated cloud software offering that becomes the kitchen sink of every person's requests). It is super easy to get stated with and yet (like a great designed Apple product) has a wealth of power features under the hood when you need them. Once they connect to Zapier we are off the races and Checkfront will become the TOP PMS in the industry!

### 5/5 — Amazing

*2016-10-12, version 2.4*

Honestly the best thing to happen to our business in the 26 years we have been renting. Extremely easy to use, endless ways to set it up to perfectly fit your needs, every report you can imagine and second to none friendly customer service. Thank you check front for creating such an amazing product!

### 5/5 — Stunning!

*2016-07-11, version 2.2*

We have been using checkfront for our small tour agency. It is marvelous. System is built with every small detail in mind. Fast and reliable. Price is affordable. You can try the service for 3 weeks for free and see if it fits your needs. I highly recommend it! 
Regarding the app, it's good enough and gets the job done.

### 5/5 — Nice update

*2015-08-13, version 2.0*

The new abilities to create bookings and record payments on the go makes this a must have for tour operators who can't be tethered to an office.

### 5/5 — Take your business on the go!

*2012-10-11, version 1.2*

We've been using Checkfront since 2010 and the cloud based software has come a long way since then!
With Checkfront mobile app you're now able to take your business with you on your smartphone and stay up-to-date with your reservations. The Checkfront mobile app is just another way using cloud based Checkfront reservation software makes small business feel BIG.  Best of all, the app is free and there are no extra fees beyond your existing Checkfront subscription.

### 5/5 — Thank you!

*2012-09-23, version 1.0.2*

It's great to be able to view and process bookings on the go without having to load up the whole system.  Barcode scanner is fun! 

Would love to see the ability to create bookings in a future reease.
