### 5/5 — Saves me time

*2026-04-23*

Color tracking is nice for color correction clients. Reminder texts go out on time. Pricing updates are easier than my old paper book.

### 5/5 — Finally

*2026-04-16*

This update was long overdue

### 1/5 — TERRIBLE DO NOT BUY PLEASE PLEASE

*2019-08-16*

DELETED ALL MY DATA I SPENT AGES PUTTING IN AWFUL APP. PLEASE DONT WASTE YOUR TIMER OR MONEY

### 1/5 — App não funciona

*2019-07-13*

Achei a ideia boa
Mas deixou a desejar em
Na hora do cadastro da cliente é obrigatorio email, endereço e cep, uma chatice, e na hora de salvar na agenda o app fecha sozinho e não conclui, portanto estou desinstalando. Uma pena

### 1/5 — Não funciona

*2019-07-03*

Não tem como gravar os atendimentos na agenda, quando clica em salvar o app fecha. Péssimo!

### 1/5 — NÃO FUNCIONA DIREITO

*2019-03-02*

Não consigo gravar os atendimentos, compra foi feita sem a minha autorização quero o estorno disso
NÃO FUNCIONA

### 2/5 — Can’t book multiple items for the same appointment

*2018-07-10*

Was really disappointed that you couldn’t book multiple services for one appointment

### 2/5 — Makers are you there?

*2018-02-15*

This app is pretty cool has so much potential but I’m not sure it’s worth purchasing. I can’t figure out how to use the appointment reminder to confirm appointments for clients. I tried to do a test run on myself and nothing happened. Also the drop box needs to be updated so it can work with this app and the PayPal will not link up also. It needs many updates and if they were done I would keep this app in a heart beat because it has really neat aspects to help a Salon owner or independent contractor with there business. Please fix ASAP

### 3/5 — Bug

*2017-10-02*

L’application en soi est géniale, mais impossible d’enregistrer un rendez vous, elle se automatiquement au moment de valider..

### 1/5 — Don't bother 👎🏻

*2017-07-30*

Downloaded the app to see if it would be of any use to help my business, but just kept throwing me out. Managed to input data but the minute I scheduled an appt for tomorrow (to see if and how it works) just threw me out of the app completely and I had to start again!

## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 1.6.2 — 2026-05-14

• AI Receptionist — let SalonApp answer your phone when you're with a                           
    client. The AI greets callers in your salon's voice, books                                  
    appointments on the spot, and answers basic questions about hours,                            
    services, and location. Try it free with a 30-second test call, then                          
    subscribe to put it on a real phone number.                                                   
                                                                                                  
  • Smarter calendar import — pull existing bookings from Apple Calendar,                       
    Google Calendar, or any .ics file (Outlook, Calendly, your old                                
    booking app). SalonApp creates the matching staff, clients, and                
    services on the fly so nothing gets lost.                                                   
                                                                                                  
  • Tolerant name matching — "Léa" matches "Lea", "Devon Reed" matches            
    "REED, Devon". No more duplicate stylists or clients after a                                  
    migration.                                                                                    
                                                                                                
  • Live import progress — watch the import as it runs, see how many                              
    bookings were added, skipped, or auto-matched, and cancel anytime.                            
                                                                                                
  • Walk-in fallback — events with too little detail to identify a                                
    client (personal reminders, blocked time) become "Walk-in (imported)"                         
    appointments you can clean up later. Nothing fails the import.                              
                                                                                                  
  • Calendar Sync is now part of first-time setup, so your existing                
    bookings are in your salon from day one.
