User sentiment analysis

Users appreciate the WordPress plugin for its rich set of features available in the free version, ease of setup, and its thoughtful and deliberately built design. Particular highlights include recommendations from friends, simplicity, and the straightforward booking process once understood. However, there are significant drawbacks including incompatibility with PHP 8.X, poor mobile experience, lack of guided onboarding, and persistent issues with Google Calendar synchronization. Additional criticisms pertain to the necessity of paid integrations for key features, frequent crashes, lack of customization, and inadequate customer support. The plugin sometimes breaks on update, lacks necessary booking periods, and presents issues in email notifications and auto-approval functions.

Worked great for me. Even the free version offers lots of features that others charge for. Also, seeing the Events Calendar team picking this up means future updates coming up rock solid. Thanks!

Looks like StyleMixThemes is going for increase of revenue with less effort. First I discovered it with their Themes. Now with this plugin. I’ve had this plugin for years, removed it after I no longer offered any services, and now I want to reinstall it, and the Google integration is now a 19,99 add for 1 site. Also paid services is a paid add on. So don’t be triggered by the free plugin. It’s not easy to use without the additional paid integrations.

Payed Plugin crashes when you choose your own colours. It is also a big minus that between booking you don’t have an option for a break time. Also I have noticed if the booking appointments is a three hour long and it starts from 9 am – 12 pm.. than the other costumer has the option to book it from 10 am – 1 pm – which is not ok. If someone books the first hour, than you can not book until 12.15 pm. or 1 pm. This is why period time is needed, and so the other booking do not cover them selves up. Please fix this.

I had 2 problems with this plugins (the free one and the 2 sold) : the plugin is not fully translatable, even using Loco Translate. You have to edit the plugin files, which is painful and risky. The other problem was with the Google Calendar synch, that didn’t work for me even following step by step the documentation and reinstalling/retrying from scratch multiple times. I opened a ticket. Waited and waited. After 6 days, I asked for a refund. Suddenly, someone was ready to help me. It was too late, I already found another solution that works well on my site. THEY REFUSED TO REFUND THE PLUGINS ($200!) despite being 6 days after buying it, and asking repeatedly for assistance without being answered!
