## What is DandyLight for Photographers?

Photography gets messy fast.
Between the DMs, the scattered notes, the "did they pay?" moments, and the Google Drive links you hope still work, it adds up. You started this because you love photography. Dandylight helps you keep it that way.

Booked. Organized. Delivered. One calm, simple app.

"Simple and intuitive but not lacking in ANY details. I am confident this was created by a photographer." (5 STARS)

Drop a link in your Instagram bio. Let clients book themselves.

### 3/5 — Issues with Scheduling feature.

*2026-03-15*

I set up the app completely and had session details completed, but I kept running into issues with double bookings. Ultimately I deleted my account and will be going with google’s built in bookings feature for their workspace calendars.

**Developer response:** Thank you for your review.  I apologize for the frustration you experienced because of the double booking issue.  We were not aware of it, so thank you for bringing it to our attention.  This will be fixed as soon as possible.  If you ever decide to give our app a try again, and run into any issues, please reach out and we will be more than happy to solve the issues as quick as we can.  

Thank you again,
Jonathan

*2026-01-21*

i absolutely love this app and cannot wait for the client guide section to finally open up. another great addition to the app would be, being able to send client galleries through there as well!

### 2/5 — Very glitchy

*2025-11-25*

I love this app but it’s so glitchy and nobody ever responds to my help questions. I’m subscribed but it’s acting like I’m not. I can’t view my bookings as it claims I’m not subscribed… it’s a constant glitch on the booking page for clients. It’s super frustrating because I’m trying to grow my business but this tool makes me seem unprofessional and unreliable.

**Developer response:** Thank you for your review.  I apologize for the experience you had with our customer support.  Typically we respond and resolve issues ASAP for our users.   We are aware of the issues described in the review and have released fixes for them since then.  

If you are still using the app and are still experiencing issues, please reach out to us again.  

Feel free to use support@dandylight.com or jonathan.brannen@dandylight.com

### 1/5 — Annoyed

*2025-04-13*

You should really tell people that when they sign up, their free trial starts

**Developer response:** Thank you for the feedback.  We have recently improved the free trial experience. It should be much more clear now what is included in the free trial.

### 1/5 — Can’t get past login

*2024-12-10*

Applied for an account — verified email address and now I’m stuck on the main page of the app again. Cannot logon, can’t do anything. Soooo… what’s the point?

### 5/5 — Game changer for my business

*2024-11-19*

This app and its customer service are SUPERB! Super sleek and user friendly for both me and the client. I have 100% streamlined my workflow since getting this app. From guiding me through creating questionnaires and contracts, to automated bookings, sending invoices and tracking expenses and mileage - DandyLight does it all! Highly recommend!!

### 5/5 — Love this app!

*2024-10-09*

I absolutely love this app! All of the features can't compare to any other app like it! The app development team has GREAT customer service! They fixed several issues and even added a feature just because I asked!

### 5/5 — Best app because it’s personal

*2024-10-04*

Having access to the developer and how quickly he responds to things makes me feel like the app is built for me. Feedback is given and immediately implemented. I also don’t feel like I’m losing money to an app, I feel like it will help me make money. Best app. Best developer.

### 1/5 — The app is faulty

*2024-10-04*

I have issues even logging in to managing
