Great Platform - Bad App

The platform is a must have for hosts but the app is really bad. The last view versions haven’t allowed me (or my wife on her new phone) the ability to see any month beyond the current month.

Amazing

Really appreciate Host Tools. It’s easy to use and very effective. The customer support is top notch also.

A great PMS system

I have been a host for twelve years and manage about twenty units.
Hosttools has proven easy to use, set up and get up and running. Their support has been great every step of the way. Switching systems can be challenging, they made it easy.
Integration of AI is very helpful when managing many guests at one time and theirs has proven to be very helpful.
Their interface is easy to read and the connection to Airbnb and VRBO are strong.
The App is easy to use for messages and quick calendar checks and updates.
Overall I highly recommend this system and am happy I made the switch.

Incredibly basic and buggy

The app looks nothing like the app store screenshots. It is also incredibly basic and buggy. Basic gestures barely work. Almost all the reviews here look fake.
