★★★★ Vicki Trollinger 9/17/2025 v6.6.9
I am very unsatisfied with the app. I lose appointments. & double-book because the apps disappear. I can get an update from them or my phone and lose appointments again. Big issues with recurring appointments. After setting them they disappear. and so far I haven't seen a way to send SMS reminders automatically. I have to manually go in and do it. I have tried to email them or chat with them online and get nothing. I've asked for help and get nothing. I am going to look for another app.

Booooooo
★★★★ A Google user 8/31/2016 v2.8.2
As a former software support engineer, would it not be more efficient on a shared database to have the license generator to populate the database with a secured data file, which could then validate all access points to the shared database? Licenses would then not be dependent on where or what account it was generated from. The 'Restore Auto Renewal License Transaction' would then have a genuine purpose, instead of just being a pacifier (essentially a non-functional button)!
★★★★ A Google user 10/18/2015 v2.5.2
Good app over all, its not got enough room for formulas, can't sync with other devices, and can't get help to do so. I have emailed several times to get help ,then to cancel never get responses,after weeks and several email. Tap style get it together and you might be able to keep your customers
★★★★ A Google user 9/14/2015
I shouldn't have to pay $15 a month to use a free app!???
★★★★ A Google user 7/2/2015
DON'T SAY FREE IF ITS NOT!!!!!!! YOU SPEND SO MUCH TIME LOADING ALL YOUR DATA TO AFTERWARD BE CHARGED. GUYS ITS NOT FREE.
★★★★ A Google user 2/9/2015 v2.3.7
Not cool having it then In the long run having to pay. What a load of crap. Loved it till you started to charge
★★★★ A Google user 2/6/2015 v2.3.7
It only allows for you to have 40 appointments. Then it will prompt you to pay $15.00 a month. Not worth it!!
★★★★ A Google user 3/4/2014 v2.1.3
Uses Google calendar for booking/sharing appointments. Does not sync to multiple devices.
★★★★★ A Google user 1/31/2019 v3.9.3
Sadly I must change my original rating of 5 stars. The most recent update is interfering with my client base. I've emailed and received no response. Appt reminders are no longer automatic and even when sent manually some clients still aren't receiving it and are no-showing. I'm very unhappy with the lack of response from support. Why do I pay for this? I will return my stellar review once the changes have been made and someone has followed up with me. This app is quickly becoming not worth it
★★★★★ A Google user 6/3/2018 v3.6.2
We have 200 services listed in this app but when I go for booking
appointment, I don't have an option to search a service by typing it. I
have to scroll school and scroll. Many more features are missing. If the
company calls me then I can share 50 more features this app can include.
More images for all kind of services, spa service photos can be included
★★★★★ A Google user 1/7/2018 v3.4.4
Not the best app for what I want, but the other apps like this charge for the services I don't bed. I just want a client record, nothing else. UPDATE: Nevermind, it didn't even have what I'm looking for.
★★★★★ A Google user 6/6/2017 v3.1.2
I just updated to the latest TapStyle version (3.1.2), and now I can't perform a checkout for any saved appointment! The only actions available from the Booking/Appointment for a client's service menus are Cancel, Delete, Save, and Service Record. Please fix ASAP!
★★★★★ A Google user 6/24/2016
Just updated to version 2.7.5, and the Data Sync function is inoperable. I uploaded the local data from a Verizon tablet (QMV7B), and then attempted to download (or update) the data to two Samsung Galaxy phones (S6 Edge plus, and Note 3). The most-recent data shows that it is ready for downloading; however, when you click on the 'Download' button, synchronization does not occur! Please fix and verify all functionality before releasing new versions of your software!
★★★★★ A Google user 1/29/2016 v2.6.1
Great concept but 1-Cannot sync with Google calendar. Was working and now is not. 2-Customer service takes a while and when you do speak to them thru Facebook messenger, its hard to understand, the instructions are vague and not precise. A lot of pronouns are used so not sure what is being said. also instead of saying "device" they say "for example, tablet....when it could mean any device.... 3-Cannot sync with PC as stated in the ad. If so, I cannot find out how. 4-I am not receiving sms reminders to my phone. When I do the test, it works but when I set an actual appointment, it does not. I hope they can correct this soon, other wise, its not worth my $15 ( not $14 as stated) for the extra features that do not work. Too bad.....
★★★★★ A Google user 5/6/2015 v2.4.3
I loved the app until I reached 40 logs and it surprised me a license fee if I wanted to keep using it. Glad I spent all that time loading client info just to not use the app in 3 weeks.
★★★★★ A Google user 7/26/2014 v2.2.3
Not as simple as it seems, takes a while to figure out and I still don't get it, why are the demo ppl still there -_-
★★★★★ A Google user 6/25/2014 v2.2.1
This app is way too expensive. $15.00 a month is too much. I did love this app but not anymore. I CNT afford it.
