Pros and cons of STX app for iPhone and iPad

STX app good for

Great app love what Im able to do but I wish I could access client profiles because that is very important. Thats were we have client colour formulas. Also if you could take a pic with the iphone that would also be awesome instead of bringing the client to the front. Excellant app STX but if u could address these problems the app would be even better and if more use
So far we have bought this app for everyone in our salon and they are over the moon about having access to there schedule 24-7. Setting goals and keeping track of tickets helps boost sales and profits in our shop. Thanks STX for the great software:) Colin...
Thanks for taking care of the connection and pairing issues that at times have previously bogged down this app. No problem with connection for several weeks now. And now with the specific button in the settings window, no more accidental unpairings. Ive always liked the app for the freedom from being tied to the front desk it gives me and now with these pesky issues solved, its a total winner.
Another home run for ST! I have been a dedicated user of the desktop software since the launch of the company. With our global society and mobile business climate it is amazing to have your business data at your fingertips. You can run into a client in the market and book themon the spot!! as far as price the iPhone app is less than a latte and the STX fee is about a dollar a day ..! Seriously people I cant believe anyone would comain about that. What is your time worth? Plus your clients will think you are uber cool and just think of all the referals you can book next time you are at a party! No more kitchen consultations just fire up your I phone & fill your book Ok enough! But I could go on Way to go team ST!! What an amazing App your book and client info whatever you are!! Love this App and great service from all at STX This is the best thing to happen to stylists and salons in years
Works great! Please read before buying. It clearly says requires STX 2.5 or higher desktop application with iPhone module. For those who still have issues connecting make sure your server is hardwired not wireless. Make sure you have updated STX desktop and device version if available. Check sleep settings to make sure the server isnt sleeping. If its a laptop, dont shut the lid. The connectivity has greatly improved.
I love this app!! We have WiFi and it works perfectly all the time! All the people that are giving this app a negative review must not have a good internet connection. We have an iPad set up in the back room so the stylists can see when their guests have arrived and check to see their schedules without having to annoy the receptionists and we all love it! Stop hating and invest in some WiFi! Your guests will love being able to get some work done while theyre processing and your stylists will be happy they dont have to keep checking the front door every 60 seconds!!

Some bad moments

Dont purchase this iPhone app unless you have already bought the $395 additional module for your desktop Salon Transcripts (STX) software. I spent an hour trying to figure out how to pair the iPhone app with the database before calling STX customer support.
Great idea in theory. When it does work, its awesome! Best thing our salon as ever had!! Problem is it works VERY intermittently. Always has trouble connecting to server and loading the schedule. It is hit and miss. I really wish Salon Transcripts would fix this. Even if it would connect 80 % of the time, Id put iPads at all my stations. Too bad, it is a really good app, just cant connect to data.
We spent $1500 on the main program specifically because of the ability to use this app with it, but it is SOOOO frustrating that it only connects not even half of the time. PLEASE fix this. It would ROCK... if it worked!
So convenient booking my clients at home but Almost ALWAYS logs off! Please please please fix!
Great App but need more features for owner information and stats. Please!
iOS only is a joke. No access to client profiles from app is a joke. $300/month for excessively limited use across platforms is a joke. $5 per app cost in addition to monthly fees is a joke. The app should be as functional as the desktop in this day as well as included in your astronomical fees. Your customer service when asked/challenged about this is deplorable. Youre lucky thus far. But we are actively looking for more comparable options. There are other systems that may not be exactly you. But they are a lot more willing to listen to consumer needs, a lot more affordable, a lot more inclusive, and a lot more accessible. A year and a half of no app updates?!?!?!?! Shame on you. No web based deployment that has easy transfer?!?!?!?! Shame on you. Times have changed. Apple isnt the golden child that it was once thought of. Its time you broaden your consumer base. Steve Jobs is dead. Cook is not the innovator. Your lead in this market is in jeopardy. Wake up and address your users. Nay...address the majority. Your shining star has faded. Its time for you to acknowledge the market. We are one salon of many that are looking to/and will replace you unless you make sweeping and dramatic user friendly changes QUICKLY
