5.0

Great experience. It has dropped our NO SHOW to nil.

Pros

That it helps keep me organized. I love how easy it is to access.

Cons

That I can't access it on the computer. It would really help if this was available on computer as well.

Reason for choosing Goldie

I liked the pricing and the comments about it.

The interface for my clients and the user friendly experience. I love the app and the layout of the different websites.

### "Fantastic and highly recommended "

March 5, 2026

4.0

All in all I think they are great. My work life is easier now as it helps me loads in multiple different areas of the business. Showing me the statics of my salon too.

Pros

is the first ever system I have used to run my business and it’s made my life so much easier. Clients can now book there own appointments so no back and forth messages. It helps me with marketing and reminder messages to which is important for me. The interface for both me and the client is so easy. The fact it allows me to use klarna is a big thumbs up for my clients as it spends the costs for the client but I receive all the money. Now they have added the new schedule next appointment button at the checkout that’s so much easier to.

Cons

I don’t like the amount of time it takes for pay outs at the start. It is a long time to get a pay out especially when you need to order hair.

Reason for choosing Goldie

There was various reasons split over the lot of them. This one came highly recommended to me by someone I know who uses it was the most important because I couldn’t find you online. But also the klarna aspect, being able to link with social media, client information, fast payout payment, the charges for using your system to process payments.

May 10, 2026

Good app. Would love it to be a little bit more friendly when navigating in it. I like it and will renew.

Pros

Good thing is that it has Appointment automatic reminders. You can choose if the message is from your phone number or an automated number

Cons

Very tricky when trying to set up deposits. When requested the help I needed an AI email was received as a response.

### "Simple, efficient booking system that saves tiMe"

May 5, 2026

5.0

Overall, my experience with has been positive. It’s a reliable system that helps keep my business organised and professional. While there are a few areas that could be improved, it does exactly what you need it to do for day-to-day scheduling and client management. It’s especially useful if you want something simple, effective, and easy to manage without overcomplicating things.

Pros

is really easy to use, especially for managing appointments and keeping everything organised in one place. The booking system is straightforward for both me and my clients, which cuts down on back-and-forth messages. I also like the reminders and scheduling features — they help reduce no-shows and keep my day running smoothly. Overall, it saves time and makes running a business feel more streamlined.

Cons

There are a few areas that could be improved, like more customisation options and flexibility within bookings. Sometimes the features feel a bit limited depending on how detailed you want your setup to be. It would also be helpful if certain tools were more intuitive or had more advanced opti

### "Goldie is first rate!"

March 19, 2026

5.0

I love ! Easy to set up, secure, updates on everything I need and easy payment processing. It's a great value

Pros

I love how easy it was to set up! I'm not a technical person so I really appreciated the emails I received step by step to set up my site, card reader and how to's every step of the way. Scheduling and management of appointments is very easy and secure. Great value for the money! I love getting updates from options I can still add and suggestions to make my site better.

Cons

There's nothing I didn't like. I was scared to try because I'm not technical but made it easy to understand and shipped my card reader fast!

### "it is great for individuals bookings"

August 27, 2024

3.0

I think it's okay for a personal trainer and Pilates instructor to use with clients.I wish they also had the other option I mentioned.

Pros

It is okay for a 1-on-1 booking system and I like the design.

Cons

I am looking for a system of a group class to book, and I want to promote my class. However, they do not have the option I am looking for."

### "Changed my business and took the stress away "

November 13, 2025

5.0

Loving ! It’s honestly changed my business. The switch from Fresha was so smooth, and the Goldie team have been amazing — they reply so quickly whenever I need help. I feel so much more organised now, and it’s taken so much stress and pressure off my business. As a mum with young children, this has given me more time with them too! I love how it prompts me to take deposits and reminds me about appointments — it just makes everything easier.

Pros

What I love most about is that you can take deposits directly through the app, and if you ever need to change appointment times, you can message customers on WhatsApp right from there.

Cons

When you go to send out the deposit, it automatically selects text message. I’d prefer it to default to WhatsApp instead, as most of my customers use that more often. That’s just a personal preference though — I’ll ask if this can be changed.

Great customer service if I ever have any questions and user friendly app! I also think the pricing is very fair!

Pros

### "Goldie review from Fresha "

December 3, 2025

4.0

Overall have a great experience using . The team has been so helpful with my change over. The app is easy to use and my clients love it.

Pros

I love the personalised online profile, the ease of use, the options to import data. How I get to view how many times my client has come to me and when their next appointment is.

Cons

The booking diary is hard to read as it’s so spread out. I wish it was zoomed out for ease of looking at the times. I wish I could merge client cards as I have duplicates for them all now. A bit more personalisation of the online booking system.

### "The Best Booking App! "

July 6, 2025

5.0

My overall experience has been very good! Customer service has been amazing when needed! I have told several stylists about the app already. It’s truly a hidden gem!

Pros

I love the ease of use. It’s very user friendly. And does pretty much everything I need. I love that it can be used on multiple devices. It truly makes maneuvering from my suite and home so much easier. The AI generated descriptions are definitely one of my favorite features, because sometimes I really can’t find the write words!

Cons

Sometimes my confirmations texts don’t send the day before like I have it set up. So I have to manually send them. Also I wish that the AI generated descriptions were available to everyone, not just pro plus. I think it’s such an amazing feature I got to use during the trial. And now I can’t use it anymore because I’m not subscribed to pro plus.

### "Goldie Review by Ace the Barber"

December 4, 2025

5.0

The system is relatively easy to pick up, even for users who aren’t very tech-savvy. The interface is clean, the menus are intuitive, and most features are placed where you’d expect them. There is a slight learning curve with some of the more advanced tools, but once you get the hang of the workflow, it becomes second nature.

Pros

This platform succeeds as a reliable, full-service solution. It combines ease of use, strong security, solid scheduling tools, and efficient payment processing—making it a great fit for small businesses, service providers, and growing teams. I’d recommend it to anyone looking for an all-in-one system that won’t break the bank.

Cons

I wish I was able to add photos of my work on a regular basis thar would help boost business for entrepreneurs

I originally started with appointfix app in 2020 for scheduling it was free and very basic. Since took over that app it has been one improvement after another.

Pros

is very user friendly. They have listened to the professionals who are using the app and have taken it from a basic scheduling app to everything I need and more!

Cons

When I sold my business, it was a long and somewhat frustrating ordeal to switch ownership. However when I relocated and started doing buisness again I went straight to !

It’s a pretty good platform. I love the name. reminds me of Goldie Hawn.😁

Pros

is pretty helpful. It’s an easy platform which is nice and it’s nice because you can build up upon it if you want to. you can almost build it the way you want to, but they make it easy in the beginning. It’s the easiest one I’ve looked at. I’ve been looking at all kinds of platforms in this one seems to be the easiest.

Cons

I don’t really have any complaints. It’s pretty good. The best one I’ve used so far.

### "Best booking app for business owners in the beaty industry "

January 15, 2026

5.0

I have only been using this app a few months ans unlike the others, this app has been the easiest and best one i have used.

Pros

This app is amazing!! The way it can colour-code for certain services really helps with booking people in. Its also great for sending messages to clients for reminders of their appointments. Its so easy to schedule clients in or even adjust appointments to suit your schedule. The payment process is so easy and reliable. Definitely great value for money i would recommend this app 100% for business owners. The privacy and security of appointments are secure and protected.

Cons

I dont like the fact you cant use paypal as a payment method rather than just bank cards. I think paypal would be a great option of payment also.

January 7, 2026

It’s been great. Simple and easy. One app and done. It’s got everything I could need. Was even surprised to see and expenses tape that’s helpful to use!

Pros

It doesn’t take much time to learn, it’s pretty easy. I love how it helps with everything when building a business. Messages make it all easier as well as payments. I don’t need to have multiple systems to manage clientele.

Cons

There’s not much I don’t love. The only thing that can be difficult is it’s too easy to grab someone’s existing appointment and move it without remembering where it was originally.

I have enjoyed my experience, has made running my business so much easier. Super easy and simple to use.

Pros

I like how user-friendly it is to use and the visually appealing layout. Setting up my online booking site was so easy and my clients also find it very easy to make appointments.

Cons

Wish it was a bit more customizable, add more branding colors, specifically black for those who want a more sleek look and don’t utilize color in their branding. Also allowing picking specific appointment times that are displayed.

November 16, 2025

4.0

It’s a good app. It would only need a few adjustments to make it perfect. I made my suggestion but they did not take it onboard

Pros

Great for automated text reminders. Customers can book themselves in which is great. As a driving instructor I can have automated text messages sent to a student on the day of there test without me having to remember

Cons

The calendar is a bit messy. Also the only pay option is stripe which is way to expensive for a small business to pay. But I can work around that but when someone does pay me I can’t show paid on the calendar without it going through stripe. Which make it hard to remember who prepaid and who didn’t
