YouCanBookMe Reviews & Product Details - Page 3

I really like the ability to create multiple types of events that can be scheduled. Each event can have its own unique scheduling characteristics and descriptions so it is simple to send out a proper link to the type of meeting you want to schedule. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I found the platform a little bit difficult to set up and learn initially. There were specific nuances to it that needed to be learned which took some time, the first couple of meeting invites I sent out were missing info due to not realizing how it worked on the back end.

While YCBM has many of the features that the competition has, it also has two key features that I could not find elsewhere:

1. Tentative bookings - allowing customers to *request* a booking that I can later confirm.

2. Customer-defined booking length - allowing customers to determine how much time they would like for their booking.

I also love how customizable the notification system is, using both email and SMS. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

While I love that I can connect my calendars to my booking page to have my availability updated automatically, I dislike how I would need to pay for each individual calendar connection. I understand why they need to do this, and an easy workaround for me was to just use one separate calendar to put my availability into each month. Otherwise, it's great!

I love that I can easily change the appointment within my outlook calendar and don't have to log in to another browser or window to adjust something already right in front of me. And, when I cancel or reschedule that appointment, the student is automatically emailed. I also love that I can customize so many of the features, including the emails students receive before or after an appointment. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I wish that making a 45 min appointment was a bit easier to do in chunks. The way the chunking of scheduling works is a little finicky at first, but completely manageable. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I love how YCBM allows users to customise every part of the scheduling process. Even particular cases are possible to set up and are reasonably cheap. For the booker, it's easy to use, and we never had any issues or questions. Setting up the booking pages takes a bit of practice. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Since the tool is so powerful, it takes some time to find all the features you need. I had to contact support for a few questions and they replied very fast and helped me resolve my issues. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I love how simple it is to set up and share with my students and families. It keeps me organized and has helped increase the amount of student meetings. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I'm not sure if there is a way to block of random times as I go. For instance, I can set a time each day to block off, such as lunch, but if I want to block of just today from 1pm-2pm, I have to go into my google calendar and "schedule" the time rather than just creating that in Youcanbook me directly. There might be a way to do it, however. I just haven't found it yet. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Easy to use and manage as our needs change, never had any complaints from our recipients. Love how customized you can make communication in every area of this. - responses to appointments, cancellations, etc. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Would be nice to be able to associate more than one email to a subscription to use as long as it was within the same company. Limiting to only one account user is what I don't like. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I have been using YouCanBookMe for over a year now and it is a quick and easy way to create a booking page. It allows me to sync the booking page to my Google Calendar, which then allows very easy access to manage the bookings and my week! Thank you YouCanBookMe for everything you do.

The free option doesn't offer as much as the paid, which is why I switched (like putting in blocks between bookings and things like that). But they still have a lot to offer on the free option and even more features on the paid solution. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Love that it syncs with my calendar and that I can designate times when I am willing to meet and then other people can just choose from those times what works for them! Removes the tedious practice of emailing back and forth or checking calendars while trying to find a mutually good time to meet with someone. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Absolutely love the texting reminder feature, but wish that it wasn't a paid feature or that there were educational discounts. I use for meeting with a high volume college students so am constantly having to refilll my text allocation. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like that it takes the guesswork out of figuring out times to schedule conferences. I am able to send it, and people share the time that works best to meet with them. I don't even have to put it in my calendar, it is already done for me. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I think the learning curve for me was the hardest, but it really is very user friendly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I love that I can restrict the timespan between the meeting and scheduling dates. In the past, I used to share my calendar and allow people to schedule whenever. This approach was problematic because meetings would inconveniently appear in the middle of the week. Now, I set my scheduler only to allow meetings to be scheduled a week from the date of scheduling. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The learning curve can be steep if you're not moderately tech-savvy. However, there are a lot of resources and support, and the company is incredibly responsive via email. I've encountered several issues with my calendar not syncing with the system. There were issues with how I entered commitments on my linked Google calendar---not with YouCanBook.me. But it was incredibly frustrating to spend so much time trying to troubleshoot to figure out why my calendar wasn't showing up accurately within YCBM, only to find out that it was a user error outside of YCBM. I wish there was an easier way to detect the origin of such problems... Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
