I would like some more variety in photos for my specific company.
Great Booking System

Easiliy accessible via Mobile App, and computer. Ease of use for members and for instructor to add classes and courses.

It's easy to learn and use, both for administrators and members.

Some of the aspects of adding classes could be more efficient for administrators.
BookyWay revire
Comments: Great product, easy to use
Pros:
Easy to use, especially important for older users
Cons:
I would like more payment options available. All news on the linkedin page are on Italian language only.
Easy to use Booking System for customers
Comments: Very good customer service. I have e-mailed on many occasions and got all problems solved
Pros:
Its so simple and easy to use. Gives my clients flexibility to book onto classes and unsubscribe if they change their mind.
Cons:
I would love to be able to have all my members birthday's on the system so that I can easily see who has Birthday's each month. I would like to send a group e-mail to all the clients on the system at once, it currently doesn't allow you to send to everyone. I would also like to use my own pictures, it would be far more personal having group pictures of the clients who come to the class.

The ultimate business saver
Comments:
After looking through a few apps BookyWay was the only one which covered all my needs. It has all the features I need and it is easy to set up and be used by my clients.
I also want to express my thanks to the excellent staff members who replied to all of our requests quickly and in detail.

The creation of the calendar has been a real help for me and the addition of their workouts on the software as well.
Cons:
Not having the option to cancel an appointment on a course without having the rest of the weeks also canceled.

Great system to use

Easy to use the software, easy to explain to clients

nothing negative to comment on the system.
Easy to use with user friendly interface
Pros:
Once you sign up, it is easy to get your email and password set up to be in the App quickly. The app is easily accessible on your phone and can send you reminders you have scheduled an event.
Cons:
I wish there were more hovers over txt to direct you what to do. It is very user friendly but for first time users, it would be nice to have on-screen directions.
Alternatives Considered:
An accessible and reliable solution for managing online bookings for courses
Comments:
I run technical workshops and BookyWay allows me to set capacity limits for each course, preventing overbooking. For technical classes, where we often need specialized equipment, knowing exactly how many participants are attending in advance is crucial, and this app ensures I’m not oversubscribed.
Also automatic reminders are a big plus because students often forget when their courses start and now I got a drastic reduction in last minute cancellations.
Pros:
Affordable platform, perfect for small businesses on a budget. The basic paid plan provides essential features at good price. The mobile app is user friendly and a great benefit for customers. Push notifications to customers is another useful feature.
Cons:
Reporting features are still quite limited; more detailed analytics would help me optimize scheduling.
Alternatives Considered:
Best app ever!
Comments: Excellent!
Pros:
The price and the easiest way to useIt is very intuitive
Cons:
The app is just for customer and doesnt work for administrators
Bookyway
Pros:
I wasn't expecting the class creator but I loved it. I planned and recorded different lessons on using the equipment we sell and the techniques we teach. They really caught on. It's affordable and it's really easy to reach out to Bookyway for help.Web based but you can use on anything.
Cons:
It just wasn't for me. I like the standard booking features and this doesn't have all of them plus it isn't easy to integrate with my payment processing and point of sale software. It might be great for someone else but just not me.
Amazing booking software
Pros:
It was really easy to implement and set up. It saves me hours every week, as my clients can book and cancel their bookings without having to get in touch with me. It is very easy to use, we (all my clients and myself) love it!
Cons:
There is no such, I love everything about this software
Good Learning and communication software
Comments: Excellent,it allows me to organize online meeting between collaborators, customers and sellers.
Pros:
I like this appls because it allows me through its mobile version to attend online class ,or to record them. Very easy to use and accessible to all at a very good price.
Cons:
A little limited. This program can also affect others sectors a part form sport and culture. Can be better.
Small improvements can make this much better
Comments: It does the job I need which is create a timteable and allow customers to book into classes. The customers find it easy to use. But the admin side for making changes is a little poor and can be frustrating.
Pros:
For the customer the app is great and easy to use
Cons:
For admin it's a bit of nightmare making changes, especially if you notice a small mistake on a recurring class and then you have to go delete the class and renter everything. A feature such as allowing changes for all future classes like Google calender would be ideal. Also most changes need to be done on a pc as the phone browser is not very good. An app for the admin would also be great.

Hi Shajidul, which improvement do you think helps bookyway to become a better product except for the chenges to the classes that we are going to release within 2022?
Very helpful customer service
Comments: I've been using BookyWay ever since I started my business and it has always been relatively easy for both me and my clients.
Pros:
Great value for money, easy to use for both administrators and clients, and extremely helpful customer service, I can't thank those guys enough. Very responsive and reliable, they'll respond to every query and answer all of the questions that people who aren't great at tech, might have.
Cons:
I manage the timetables for an exercise club and it would help if I could just copy the whole week's timetable to the next week, rather than add classes one by one. I know I can schedule for the month ahead, but it would help if I could copy one of the previous weeks or months cause the classes change sometimes.

Il compagno perfetto per la gestione del ristorante
Pros:
BookyAway è un software innovativo che ha rivoluzionato il modo in cui prenotiamo i tavoli nel nostro ristorante. La sua interfaccia intuitiva e user-friendly rende la prenotazione di un tavolo un'esperienza rapida e senza problemi. Con BookyAway, non c'è più bisogno per assicurarsi un tavolo. Una delle caratteristiche più sorprendenti del software è la sua vasta gamma di opzioni personalizzabili. Si possono scegliere il numero di persone, la data e l'ora desiderate, nonché specificare eventuali preferenze alimentari o esigenze dietetiche. Questo garantisce una prenotazione su misura per soddisfare le esigenze di ogni cliente.
Cons:
Nulla da eccepire, fin ora non ha avuto alcun bug e tutto fila liscio.

Grazie a questa soluzione, i miei clienti hanno potuto prenotare i corsi di gruppo in modo facile e autonomo, garantendo loro una maggiore comodità e flessibilità nella gestione delle lezioni. Inoltre, l'interfaccia intuitiva e user-friendly ha reso l'esperienza ancora più piacevole. Consiglio vivamente Bookyway a chiunque desideri organizzare al meglio la partecipazione a corsi di gruppo.
Pros:
La funzionalità che ho apprezzato di più: Comodità e facilità nell'iscrizione e disiscrizione autonoma ai corsi di gruppo
Cons:
Ciò che mi è piaciuto di meno: Ho notato che, pur personalizzando la homepage con il proprio logo e i colori, il resto dell'applicazione mantiene colori estranei. Tuttavia, è solo un dettaglio e non influisce sulla funzionalità e comodità del sistema di prenotazione.
