I’ve been using this app for awhile maybe a year and I have to say that I’ve only had one no-show the whole time that I’ve had it because it reminds clients 24 hours before and an hour before so if they need to reschedule they have ample time to. The only reason I’m giving it four stars is because there are some bugs and glitches, but I believe that most of them are improving.

I've been using Porter for around 6 months now and have truly been loving it for booking my appointments the easiest way possible.Porter has made the booking process so much easier for me since I've become busier with tattooing. As I've been using this app, the developers have been consistently adding new features that make it so much easier for me to get all the information I need from a client.I once realized there wasn't an option to input pronouns, so I emailed their support team. I received a response within a day, and they had added a new section for clients to add their pronouns.I will say, the price-point is steep. However, for the customer service, constant improvements, and ease of booking appointments, I don't think there's an app out there that can compete. Everyone at my shop truly loves using this app and the accessibility.

I know for some artists the phone number and email can be weird but if you look at a consent form, you have to put a whole lot more than just that. Also you can just put a phone number and it works just as well. It makes it easy to reach out to clients and reach out to make sure they have all the details without having to go through individually and make sure you’ve sent everything you needed to. It makes managing clients and upcoming projects so easy, I love how the calendar works and you can connect to any other calendar and never forget anything you have coming up again. I’m getting my whole studio to switch to this, it really was made for artists :)

First, the app almost always calculates the percentage wrong while seperating money between the artist and studio. Gives the manager no option to choose the correct percentage for the transactions. Say you are working with 30% cut, it automatically calculates as 40% and you have to e-mail to support each time to send the rest of the money. Shouldn’t be difficult to make the artist/manager to choose the percentage while creating an appointment. We are this 🤏🏻 close to switch to another app.Second, no instant chat support within the app. And the support sometimes doesn’t even reply your emails.Third, gives you no customizing option for color/font etc. Orange seems unprofessional especially if you are going for sleek branding. At least make it all black, everyone is happy.
