> **Suzanne** | *29 October 2019* | Health, Wellness & Fitness | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: I love the ease when first setting it up both as a business and a client.  My clients also love how they can book or cancel easily. I luuvvve the options to set up class times,  personal training sessions with clients and you have the option to put which instructor you want the session with.  I also love the help and support from the creators of the App. They are so quick to fix any problem you may come across. And they don't mind at all when you have done something not quite right and can't figure out why it's not working properly 🤣🤣🤣 . This App really is great .
> 
> **Cons**: Can't think of anything at the moment.  So far have been really impressed.
> 
> Clients can book in or cancel with ease.  You can choose up to when cancellations are made.  Love the calendar where you can see what your day holds.  Love the support Pencil in offers.

> 
> **Cons**: Nothing. Love the app but I would like to see a few more reports for the new payment module.
> 
> There customer service is great. I love the ability to take my business on the go and manage everything from the mobile. This app has saved me so much time and money,  I couldn't recommend it enough.
