    I needed some custom development work done for a client, and they supported me all the way through. All the development was completed, and I was notified when updates were available. Thank you very much

    I never seen paid plugin that is buggy and user unfriendly like this one! I send three weeks to comprehend funcions that are crazy complicated, with zero logic included. I manage to setup google calendar connection. But working only one way. Every day, plugin decides which event in calendar will be prioritised and which event can be overbook by another customer… It cost me not just few euros for licence, but many hours and troubless with my customers. I should rather pay more to advanced plugin and save me from this time and funcional disaster. Customer support is responsive – they get to you back within 24 hours with e-mail, but no answer 😀 Than they ask video of how my synchronisation with google is working only one way… Save yourself a time and money – RUN AWAY!

    On 9/9/2024 I purchased a license for Easy Appointments and was immediately informed that I would receive a email “shortly” with all I needed to go forward with it, including access to the support forum on the Author’s site. Ten days later no such email. (And I get NO redirection of “spam mail”, checking it all manually. This would have gone to the support forum instead of here. But no access. How do I get access to the paid version and to the support forums?

    The plugin doesn’t work as advertised and there’s practically NO SUPPORT by the author. A ticket was created SIX WEEKS ago but the author surfaces every several days, only to throw a hasty and inefficient comment and then he disappears again. Steer clear of this one This topic was modified 3 years ago by Alex Seidanis.
