Wasted my time on this one. Shortcode tab is missing. When I tried [app_my_appointments] it doesn’t show anything. Documentation is messed up, the most important part is hard to find.

I believe I am using current version of wp. Let me first say the calendar display is very nice and can be customized. Looks very good. Also, the admin panel is easy to use. Yes you only get two service types with the free version. I would also like to say that I want to use this plugin. But the paypal button which appears for paid services is unreadable. It’s a super light gray with white lettering and is very hard to read. On top of that, the paypal button appears once the client has just booked which is awkward. Thanks.
Update: Okay – copied the css to make the paypal button more presentable. So I have updated the review to show 4 stars. I would like to see if the submit button could go directly to paypal instead of a 2nd button showing for payment. Thanks.

Ho visionato molti plugin per gestire un sistema di prenotazione di campi da gioco (tennis, pallavolo, calcetto, ecc…) e questo plugin si e’ dimostrato il migliore . Perfettamente integrabile con buddypress, offre un’esperienza al cliente utilizzatore semplice e completa.

No proper documentation and the plugin is useless for me. It don’t allow multiple participants at same time slot.

I know it is cute to do just show the mouse moving all over the screen to music. BUT, your goal is to SELL… right? Well, then, why not talk us through the movies – that anchors the mouse movements to some idea what they are and what is happening.
Why not??? I am amazed at not doing the voice over.

Used this on a site when WPMUDEV had a friendly pricing thru AppSumo. Setup and integration with Google Cal API was a bitch. After that, the $49 monthly seems too damn steep to keep it, even with their other plugins. Sorely disappointed.

Along with their CoursePress plugin, this is another waste of time. The documentations is just messed and relates to items that don’t really exists on the plugin pages.
I had to use all WPMU DEV plugins because my client got the membership, hopefully will cancel the membership and remove ALL plugins from the websites asap.

It’s a robust booking plug-in. I’m contemplating buying the pro version, but I don’t like the subscription model. I don’t see anywhere that I can buy it as a stand alone plugin.
Also, just a suggestion: It would be great if the we had the option to compose the confirmation emails in html. That way we could customize it a bit more. I would like to add an “add to calendar” button in the email.

Hello,
The WPMUDEV Appointments plugin has a LOT of promise.
I carefully set it up using a checklist with each specific element identified (following the plugin’s setup directions).
The setup failed to connect to the Google calendar.
So I tried it using a different, new (empty) Google Calendar with a different email address.
After failing and banging my head against things I gave up and contacted WPMUDEV Support and created a ticket–I’m a member there.
After being handheld through the setup again–and still failing, I gave the WPMUDEV Support rep admin access to my site to set it up.
Fail.
First, it’s INCREDIBLY COMPLEX to connect the plugin to Google Calendar.
Nxt, at the time I did this the Google Calendar (API?) interface no longer matched the plugin setup instructions. Even with this I was able to try this, try that and find the places I was supposed to use to set this up.
Finally, after days and days of trying to get this to work, one hour here a couple of hours there, I stopped. The plugin doesn’t work out of the box every time (for everyone).
I went to TimeTrade and had this working with my Google Calendar in about 30 minutes.
However, I strongly dislike the fugly TimeTrade (1995) UI/UX – it’s horrible and cannot be tuned to match my site.
But back to this plugin.
This is one of those places where the massive WPMUDEV Support desk is needed. Setting this up is not for the technically challenged.

Hello,i am interesting about if is possible to use plugin on multiple store end for multiple worker(hairdresser,nails),calendar for every employer end if is possible to have flex schedule.

I run a multisite platform and one of my customers is wanting a scheduling platform for her catering business. Unfortunately I can’t afford the subscription from WPMU DEV and opted for this version. After installing this plugin I received a 500 Internal Error when attempting to log into the Dashboard to configure the plugin. Very disappointing for a company that thrives on multisite instances. I would like to use your plugin but would you please look into why it is not compatible with my multisite instance.

It had so much promise but it just seems to lack the basic needs of an appointments system. I paid for the upgrade and tried using the fully functional version but it offered little extra in terms of functionality.
Just little things like – as an admin, logging into the backend – there is no global view – therefore, I can’t have visibility over the calendars when a customer calls and requests an appointment change – It turns into a blind booking.
Also, the widget provides good functionality – but the widget can only be used as a widget! There is no short code to emulate the widget inside a page???
Also, for the novice, the documentation is terrible – You actually need to insert 3-4 shortcodes to get the calendar to work… And, trying to add service providers was difficult and confusing… It turns out, you can’t add a service provider without them being an existing wordpress user… When you add a service provider, the page just refreshes and nothing happens – so you’re oblivious as to why nothing is working… it just appears to be broken…

Overall this plugin works really well, is quite feature rich and especially the Google Calendar integration is a nice and useful touch. Support team seems friendly and answers questions quite rapidly.
A couple of features do have a steep learning curve and it takes a little practice to make it all work, but once it does I’ve had no stability issues even though some people have had that experience.
For the price it’s a absolute bargain. Currently the full version is $19 at their website which is less than other booking modules costs each month. And some of them aren’t even of this quality.
High recommendations!

I discovered the Google sign-in feature was not working correctly and requested help. I was instead told that this function is INTENTIONALLY broken and that I can “use a css code” to hide this feature. Since when do plugin creators incorporate front-end website features and then intentionally break them only for us to find them by user-complaint or after spending hours trying to find out what we did wrong to misconfigure the plugin? I’m really disappointed to see this kind of practice coming from such a well-respected developer and I really hope I have a reason in the future to update this review to a better rating. Shame.

Good app if you want to be able to have more control over every little detail, just too much for my needs.
While I would have been happy to use the lite version for my client (1 service provider with any services) I didn’t read the reviews here and found out luckily after only about 30 min wasted that the “lite version” only allows 2 services. Only mention is when you try to add a 3rd service you get this prompt at top:
“You have reached the limit for the free version. Upgrade to Appointments+ for unlimited services”
I am glad that there is a “lite version” of this plugin, I have seen it recommended many times as a great plugin but I wanted to test it out before dishing out membership to WPMU Dev just for this plugin. Worth it only if you have 2 or less services or want to dish out the money, otherwise other plugins that are free out there.

I purchased the plugin in hoping to fit my client’s need, however, when I tried to install it in another site, everything in the setting seem frozen, I can only work on General tab, not any others, for example, I can’t add new service nor server providers because it simply does not respond to my click.
wasting me lots of time, don’t try it, and their support is awkward, nowhere to post any question unless you pay membership, what a fxxk rule

I have searched and searched, and FINALLY i found what i was looking for.
This is an EXTREMELY POWERFUL scheduler for everything.
Im am using the lite edition, but DO NOT be fooled by they call it “lite”
Im involved in a small music festival in Denmark, and we needed a booking/”its mine” system for our tools and cars.
It had to be a user based system where my users/volunteers could book a tool easily on the spot, last year we had alot of problems with our tools, they where all laying around, and nobody knew who was responsible for it.
This plugin is making that problem a thing of the past.
im simply creating an appointment system for each valuable tool/car, and with this plugin, i can even create a page for each tool/car costimized to its needs, and all it took was to understand how shortcodes works (which most do in here ??
then i added a responsive theme, and a QR code for the page on the tool/car.. TADDA now the users could easily book the tool by his phone with three clicks, im not even kidding, its three clicks ??
Thanks to the developers for creating magic like this.

This plugin is forcing users to sign up and give CC info for payment.
It was used to be free, but I don’t know why is going on with the team.
This was the creme de la creme for me and for other users.

This plugin is GREAT! It does exactly what I need it to do and can be set up in a variety of ways to meet all of my needs.
And, they have excellent support. Even though I don’t have the paid version. ??

Firstly much credit for not only an excellent product but actually providing a free version which gives a very good amount of functionality!
I have been evaluating a large amount of booking plugins for WP the last few days and without exception all which called themselves free or had a lite version were so limited as to be unusable. I was looking for a solution just like this that I can provide for clients on their sites so they will have a basic functionality and can choose to upgrade if they wish – so top marks.
So far this plugin is very intuitive considering the range of functionality and seems to be very solid.
QUESTION. The only issue I have been having is that I can’t get the pagination to work whatever I try. The last week/month button or previous week/month button just doesn’t work. I’m probably missing something simple but would appreciate any help for a solution.
Thanks!!

I looked at several plugins to enable me to take online bookings, some of which were 20 times the price of this one so when I discovered Appointments+ I thought it sounded too good to be true.
I’m so glad I took a chance on it. Within an hour I had a booking system set up with two way integration to multiple Google calendars and all the options I could possibly need to manage client bookings efficiently.
I had no great expectations about the support but when I decided I wanted to customise aspects of the plugin to suit my personal needs I just posted in their forums and within a few hours they provided me with custom code to enable the plugin to do exactly what I wanted.
Worth every penny, and a whole lot more.

Plugin works well although it does not handle making bookings that extend past midnight into the next day. For example, a business which operates at night cannot make a two hour appointment that commences at 11pm unless the user selects a specific service provider. You can’t select the default option of ‘no preference’ and it gives you no feedback as to why you can’t make the booking. This is using the paid version of the plugin as well, so would seem like a fairly simple function to have working right. Contacted developer but they were not interested in fixing the issue.

I was actually happy with this plugin at first. But, as a point of principal, they are deceptive. And issues deactivating.
After days comparing plugins and installing this, we discover that Appointments Lite (which installs from the Appointments plugin – no mention of “Lite”), only allows you to add 2 services. NO WHERE in any documentation is this mentioned. Just double checked.
DECEPTION: in fact, quite the opposite. Before listing features of the PRO version, their description even states that you can “… create unlimited service providers and unlimited services.” [my emphasis]
Much further down their description they list features of the pro version. So any reasonable person would read the features above “pro” list as included.
Clearly a deception to get people wasting time and then just pay for it.
DEACTIVATE ISSUE: We decided to hold on our services and that’s when big problems started. It doesn’t uninstall when also using W3 Total Cache plugin, even though I had cleared all cache several times (WP Admin and browsers). Simple deactivation left the site nothing but text. Wasted much time and jumped hoops to figure out out to get rid of it.
ISSUE: My issues is not that this plugin doesn’t work, and the price for the PRO version is actually reasonable. It’s all the difficulty simply deactivating it and a point of principal about honesty.
The developers thought it a good judgment call to say up front that you can create “unlimited” services so that people waste time before discovering – you can only add 2 services. Then what? Just pay for the pro since you’ve wasted so much time already.
Shame.

BUYERS BEWARE! This plugin is buggy as hell. Just Google it and see how many problems its users face. Support through the company forum takes forever and is mostly useless. On top of that, the company refuses to give refunds, claiming that once you installed the plugin, they cannot verify whether it is working on your system. This is bullshit. The company basically calls any user whom does not get the proper support and thus has problems with the plugin a liar. Think carefully if you plan to upgrade to the plus version. You will get shitty support for the many problems this plugin has, and you will be stuck with no scheduling solution at all and minus forty dollars. DO NOT BUY.
