### 2/5 — App is not user friendly.

*2025-02-17, version 5.13.2*

This app needs an overhaul.  It required me to login three different times to book an appointment.  It’s like it runs to its website to do each task, requiring a login each time.  Do better.

### 1/5 — This app is useless

*2024-12-14, version 5.13.2*

I have been a Fantastic Sam’s customer for 6 years and used the previous app to book all my appointments and my sisters appointments. It was great. This new version is totally useless. YOU CANNOT BOOK AN APPOINTMENT! There is absolutely no way to schedule , no add button, no calendar, no list of stylist to choose from. It’s a total disaster. You cannot interact with this app. It’s only pictures. What a waste!

### 1/5 — Disappointed

*2024-10-24, version 1.2*

I have been using this app for several years. 
Now you can’t even do a Dam thing on it . Very disappointed. that’s why it got one star

### 1/5 — Can’t make appts

*2024-10-02, version 1.2*

Suddenly I can’t make appointments or see who’s working. Waste of time app.

### 1/5 — App doesn’t work

*2024-08-03, version 1.2*

I did not turn on the location and I cannot even get the map to find a location within 5000 miles

### 3/5 — Terrible app!!!

*2024-05-14, version 1.2*

It needs an update I have created a new account be used my old one which was working fine up until March this year!!! I just tried to log on with the correct e-mail and password. It didn’t accept it!!!! I’m trying change a hair cut appointment, it’s a little hard when I can’t due to the app not working!!!!

### 1/5 — Worst app I’ve ever used!

*2024-05-07, version 1.2*

The primary objective of this app is to enable customers like me to find a salon and make an appointment for one or more services, including with a particular stylist if we would like to.

In reality,
* the search for salon by ZIP Code does not work at all.
* even though typical appointments will include more than one service, such as a haircut and relaxing, it only allows us to select one and only one service to schedule for. Which means that if we were able to complete the scheduling process via the app, it would communicate what is really wanted and would not scheduled proper duration of appointment.
* after selecting a service and stylist, the app just sat there and did nothing. I had to hunt for a process that wasn’t able me to pick a date and time.
* I selected a date and time, it tried to forced me to create an account on the app just in order to select an appointment. I do not want to set up an account on the app! I just want to friggin set an appointment!

At this point I gave up I’m using the app. I will take my chances on being a walk-in Customer. Or go elsewhere.

### 2/5 — Not helpful

*2024-04-19, version 1.2*

App does not provide many features. All buttons accept make any appointment lead to white screen. 

No support in app,  app support link in App Store is Page Not Found

I am not able to change my address and can not find support, directions or how to create a new account in the app

### 1/5 — Pointless

*2024-04-16, version 1.2*

Search for your local Sams. Nothing. Then pinpoint it on a map. Now you can call the place or visit their website. Wait no you can’t. Just stupid. The people at the top must be super old not to see the IT dept making total fools of the company.

### 1/5 — I HATE their app

*2024-03-01, version 1.2*

Everytime i try to schedule an appointment i cant log in! Its so frustrating!!!

### 2/5 — App needs help

*2024-02-10, version 1.2*

It’s a glorified store locator.

### 1/5 — Never works app

*2023-12-21, version 1.2*

Worst app I’ve ever used.  Don’t waste your time loading it.

### 1/5 — Terrible

*2023-06-03, version 1.2*

Don’t come here

### 2/5 — Download time

*2023-04-19, version 1.2*

Sorry to say the app didn’t load very fast. It’s been 20 minutes and still not fully downloaded.  I ended up waking in. Bad for a company who is relying on online  appointments.

### 1/5 — Don’t like the

*2023-03-20, version 1.2*

I always loved this app, I was able to make and cancel appointments at any time. Now they’ve changed it and they’re not showing my previous appointments, nor can I make an appointment. What good is this update?

### 1/5 — Brutal

*2026-02-17, version 5.15.1*

One of the worst apps I’ve ever used. Almost impossible to sign in and book an appointment. Deleted. It’s much easier to just call the salon

### 1/5 — Unable to pullup my stylist.  App’s not very easy to use.

*2026-01-26, version 5.15.1*

Same as above, app difficult at best.

### 1/5 — Cannot select correct location

*2026-01-14, version 5.15.1*

The app defaulted my location to a Fantastic Sams I do not go to. I cannot find a way to delete this location or add the location I do go to. This app is useless.

### 1/5 — Like entering in passwords?

*2025-12-26, version 5.15.1*

I hadn’t logged in for a while so I had to change my password. A code was sent to my email. 
I entered the code changed the password, logged in again, and for some reason or another again. I started to schedule an appointment so I had to paste in my password again, but this time it didn’t recognize the password so I deleted the app and I remembered why I called to make appointment every other time.

### 1/5 — App doesn’t work

*2025-11-30, version 5.15.1*

Unable to create account

### 1/5 — What’s the point?!

*2025-09-15, version 5.15.1*

Cannot create an account.  Why bother?!

### 1/5 — Worst App, Getting Worse

*2025-03-16, version 5.13.2*

The app was never great, now it has no purpose at all. You can’t schedule appointments and it doesn’t track your loyalty.  I love my server but Fantastic doesn’t care about their customers or staff

### 1/5 — Worthless

*2025-02-26, version 5.13.2*

The whole point of a check in online is to know how long I will have to wait. Why cant this app show wait times BEFORE checking in? Its absolutely useless. Also why cant I cancel my spot once in line? Ill stick with Great Clips, at least their app works better.

### 1/5 — Booking

*2025-01-08, version 5.13.2*

I’m unable to click book an appointment on my iPhone

### 1/5 — Used to be easy to book an appt

*2024-12-27, version 5.13.2*

Making an appointment should be easy, clear and concise. Now I have to select “Family Booking” and trick the app into scheduling an appointment for “just me” … what a mess
