## Reviews

> **Damien** | *19 October 2024* | Media Production | Recommendation rating: 7.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: It's amazing as a free appointment booker.
> 
> **Cons**: It's still not a better option than Calendly.
> 
> SimplyBook.me is a great entry level appointment booking platform for beginners.

-----

### "Best booking site" — 5.0/5

> **Bruce** | *26 September 2024* | Automotive | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Extremely simple to use. This is perfect for someone with little knowledge of how to put together a scheduling site. I have had many compliments on my site and feel like I get more bookings because of it.
> 
> **Cons**: Sometimes I find it hard to navigate on the mobile app. Secondly, If I book a client for them on my booking page, not the admin side, if I go to book someone else the last person info is still there and I cant seem to get rid of it without shutting the app or desktop off  and then rebooting..
> 
> So far most things have been seamless and I can research using their AI search tool. Sometimes when I reach out through the live chat I quickly get my  questions answered.

-----

### "SBM Feedback" — 3.0/5

> **Kristen** | *16 July 2024* | Computer Games | Recommendation rating: 2.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: It send real time updates when customers schedule with us.
> 
> **Cons**: It is not easy to update times across all classes. There are too many areas that also have to be updated and it becomes frustrating to use and takes time to figure it out.

-----

### "Renewal time and we're staying" — 4.0/5

> **Nick** | *23 January 2026* | Leisure, Travel & Tourism | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: We've been using Simplybook.me for a year. &#10;Its time to renew and having checked out other booking sites, we will stay with them. &#10;They are slightly more expensive but offer so much more. &#10;Being a computer illiterate I regularly run into trouble when changing the site and services / prices we're offering but the real time chat is excellent. Not once have I been left hanging or without the solution I need.
> 
> **Cons**: Unfortunately you have to use the live chat facility when making contact. No real person to speak to in person
> 
> Its platform is pretty simple to use and after a while, everyday tasks become easy. It does the job.

-----

### "SimplyBook is Excellent" — 5.0/5

> **Ken** | *16 January 2025* | Professional Training & Coaching | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: The Live Customer Support Chat. All the Live Agents are excellent. It is 24 hours a day. And even on the weekends when they need to close down for a day and a half, they still return your emails. They help you set it up. It's worth it.
> 
> **Cons**: There is nothing that I like least about SimplyBook.
> 
> My overall experience is excellent\! The Team is really smart and they are patient too.
