Pros and cons of Photo Finish Salon app for iPhone and iPad

Photo Finish Salon app good for

This is a great app for a one person salon or chair rental. Not good for bigger salons. Its very basic and easy to use and love that I can take pics of clients and keep in with there info. It is missing a way to schedule your hours and lunch breaks, but I emailed them and there looking into it for the next update. Updated review...May10th 2012... There was supposed to a new update in January and I am still waiting.I have tried to email them 2xs about question I had and nobody has gotten back to me. I emailed 1 more time to tell them how bad there customer service was and again got no response. I thing they have abandon this app all together, so if you want customer support DONT get this app...I am not happy.
It looks more attractive than the others , I just wish I could do point of sale or even just send an invoice to the printer, that would be worth another $19.99!

Some bad moments

I was wanting an app that would give me all this one does and sync with my iCal. So probably wont use this even though Ive purchased it. :(
Great app except for the client reminders which I paid $30 for arent working. Contacting support has not been helpful, I open support tickets but never receive a response. Would like to keep this program but will probably end up switching to something I can get help with....
Is this app even real??? I have paid 30.00 for a yr subscription and it has not worked in 2 months..... How can I get a hold of the web developer? My customers rely on there e-mail and text reminders... I rely on this app that I purchased to work.....
So why is it my clients arent getting the reminders that I have paid this app to do? Very frustrating when my clients get mad at me for your mistake!!! I will not be renewing at the end of my year due to never keeping up with the updates.... This isnt the first issue Ive had with this app!!! I hope this helps for someone that is looking for a salon appointment app!!! Dont waste your money! No one will ever contact you when there is an issue!!!!!
Ok below was 3 stars now Im going down to 2. Ill promise to give 5 IF U GET MY CLIENTS PICS BACK ON THEIR FILES!!!! I had to delete the app and reinstall and when I logged in lost a bunch of stuff because the app kept closing out. Ive been using this app for 4 years and love a lot of features but its unreliable. PLEASE HELP YOUR LONG TURN CLIENT! Thanks. ------ Please update this app for bugs it keeps closing out on me. Usually love this app... Been using for years. My business relies on it. Yes, Ive restarted phone. Please help!
Is anyone else having trouble with this app? It seems it will work fine for a few months and then it wont connect to the server. My customers depend on there reminders, they are not receiving them. Does anybody know how to get in touch with the company??? I have paid for the app until 2/2016 I feel I am defiantly not getting what I have paid for... I would appreciate feed back. My customers are not receiving there reminders again..... Again I cannot e-mail the server will not connect....
