VERY VERY ANGRY WITH THEM" — 1.0/5 > **Tracy** | *26 September 2024* | Health, Wellness & Fitness | Recommendation rating: 0.0/10 > > **Pros**: Took a long time to set things up and me not being very web savvy extra effort from me to have to get done > > **Cons**: the live chat service. very non-helpful and rude > > I will not be recommending square to any of my counterparts. I went to all the effort of setting all this up. Got rejected for some reason on accepting credit cards and so they completely shut my account down and wouldn't let me log in again. Took off with my one months subscription too. And gave me no excuse as to what actually went on. Complete and utter CROOKS. and very angry about this as i barely have a minute as it is to scratch myself - very busy massage therapist. I have certs verifying i am fully trained in my field. A business rego/ABN and a business account set up with ANZ who never had an issue dealing with me. Feel i've been treated like a second class citizen, maybe because I'm from overseas ? ----- ### "Decent online booking tool" — 3.0/5 > **Victoria** | *10 January 2026* | Insurance | Recommendation rating: 7.0/10 > > **Pros**: The ability to book my personal appointments with my hairstylist online and use their feature to see the appointments > > **Cons**: Maybe I’m missing it, but I can’t seem to find an app and I feel like I have to look for the appointment link each time to book the appointment > > Overall, once I find the link, my experience is good with booking appointments for my stylist and seeing availability ----- ### "Square Up is an affordable Booking software for Service Providers" — 5.0/5 > **Mateo** | *26 November 2024* | Consumer Services | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Square Appointments is a great affordable option for service providers (hairstylists, tattoo artists, lash techs, tint installers...).
