WhenWorks 4+

I really like format and ease of use but why limit this app to ios devices - I would like to use it on my mac - possibly by signing into a website.

Question or suggested enhancement : rather than me sending an email invite to a client to schedule a phone call and then having client decide they want a meeting with me instead which makes me have to send a new email invite (this time for a meeting) is there a way to send client an invite letting the client choose among interactions: phone, meeting, etc and then have the app show available time for the type of interaction client wants.

also would developer please explain the extras that come with upgrade other than number of appointments that can be made monthly - Thank you !

You can create multiple event types (phone call, meeting, etc.) each with different durations or locations and publish each of those event types to your publish scheduling page (e.g. when.works/fred). Then, if you send your client a link to your public scheduling page, they will be able to choose the type of event they wish to schedule first, and the resulting booking options will be specific to the type of event they selected.

The Free and Pro versions contain the exact same feature set. The only difference is the number of meetings that can be booked each month. The Free version allows 5 meetings per month, the Pro version allows unlimited meetings per month.

We are planning a Mac version in the future. :)

I've just spent a couple of hours setting this up and playing with it. I think it has a lot of potential. I am not crazy about the two stage process you need to go through to get the calendar of availability on the webpage. I feel it should be possible to combine the calendar of availability with the timeframe requested (the second page you have to navigate through) and have it dynamically update to avoid the extra step. Or maybe someone has a better idea?

I am also frustrated by the fact that the pre-booking description is the same both on the initial "book some time with ..." page and the actual activity (second) page, unless I am missing something. It seems so obvious to me that two fields should be able to contain different content that I assumed it was an oversight.... if this is by design, then this is a feature request. It would also be nice to be able to add some customized welcome text to the initial “book some time with” page above the list of activities.

Some of the Interface of the app is a little strange... you can see the options of an event type, but you can't edit them without going back a page to tap edit before returning to the same page to change things? OK, whatever.

For a 1.0 effort, this is pretty good. I am not yet sure if I'm going to stick with it, but it does seem to work as advertised.

Thanks for the feedback. It's appreciated.

Regarding the pre-booking description being repeated. The reason for this is that there are two options for sending a link to a guest to book time with you:

1. You can send a link to your Public Scheduling Page where all of your event types are listed (e.g. Phone Call, Meeting, Coffee, etc.). The pre-booking description for each event is displayed here.
-or-
2 You can send a link that goes directly to a specific event (e.g. Phone call). The pre-booking description appears here too since this may be the first page a guest sees, and to provide context for the event they are about to book.

There may be a way for us to improve this as we continue to refine the product over time.

Tried it, but ultimately deleted it.
I’m a local Santa who books time for personal, home visits during the Christmas season. This seemed like a great idea, but it is just not flexible enough for my use.
From instance, my visits are in increments of 20 minutes, but this service is limited to ONLY increments of 15 minutes. And, I only do visits from 11/1 to 1/15, but take requests for that season, year round. This service requires me to custom configure each (76) day/date individually, in order to accommodate this. And, the client must scroll to the day/date they are interested in, a tedious one-day-at-a-time (it’s designed for “the next available appointment”). And, Since I make “house calls”, I need to make allowances/gaps between visits based on drive time from the previous visit (something Apple’s Calendar does, but this doesn’t). No can do. And… well, you get the idea.
This might make an acceptable solution for barber appointments, but the more flexibility you need the less acceptable this becomes.

Thanks for the feedback. Yes, WhenWorks is optimized for users who need to fill regularly recurring time slots each week (sales people, technical support and training representatives, financial advisors, attorneys, educators, personal trainers, massage therapists, hair stylists, photographers, etc.). Hopefully we can make the app more flexible to fit the needs of users like you in the future.
