Recent bug

I’ve had an issue since the last update (version 3.2). On my schedule it says “you’re clear! No appointments in the near future” but I actually do have appointments and they are scheduled. It shows the green dot on the dates that I have visits, but when I click on the specific day it shows NOTHING being on my schedule.I know I have visits there but I feel like something is corrupted. I’ve tried uninstalling/reinstalling. Nothing has worked.

New update issues

“Forbidden” error message when trying to check box, “save photos to camera-roll” and “10-minute warning”. Please fix soon. I enjoy the saved photos after the appointments.

Love it- needs a few tweaks

I’ve had scout for a few years now. It’s super affordable and the software does what I need. BUT I wish I could manage appointments and approve booking requests through my professional app instead of the web dashboard. Scout has consistently listened to feedback, solicited feedback and has always been amazing in customer service. I personalize my emails, they manage the billing and my calendar syncs to google.

Worst app of the year

Very bad app I recamend not using

Behind on the times

As a former Pet check user I have to say I’m shocked at the lack of features and the overall clunky-ness of the app (as someone else on her mentioned.) The lack of customization and odd choices in formatting both on the app and admin portal leave a lot to be desired. Worst of all, my application for the Braintree payment processor got rejected and I have to use a 3rd party processor. Braintree is probably one of the worst processors out there. I may be switching back to Pet Check. It seems like the developers are way in over their heads and are behind on many fronts. As a business owner in 2020 I need the latest and greatest tech to push my company forward.
