As per my previous experience with this software, It is well suited if you are having a meeting with a large audience and not sure whether everyone is available or not, This tool is convenient to capture those responses and give a collaborative view about the situation. Based on the availability factor we can decide whether to reschedule the meeting or carry on with it.

Support Rating
Their online support and phone coverage are the best I ave ever encountered. Jovial, kind, and responsive are the word I would use to describe what they do and the methodology of why they do it so well. Online support is a breeze because you can upload images/video clips — no need to have a 3rd party app, like GoToMeeting for underlying support issues.

  • Square Appointment is excellent at support! I have had several calls with them, and not one time have they dropped the ball, leaving me frustrated without a solution — not one time.
  • The community forum in Square Appointment can answer most of the questions, but if I have had real issues, I am always able to talk to a person. That is very valuable to me as a customer.
