1/5Worst App on my iPhone
This is honestly the only app on my phone that seems to get worse over time. When Drybar first launched, the app was terrific for years. But as the company has grown over the last several years, the app experience has steadily declined — and somehow feels worse now than it did at launch. The location search functionality is especially frustrating and wildly inconsistent. For example, if I search “Newport Beach” locations, the app shows me ALL California locations — including Northern California salons that are 5–6 hours away — before showing nearby Southern California locations. Newport Beach is about an hour from me. It makes no sense. Today, I simply tried to change the time of an appointment and, for the first time in forever, the app asked me to log in again. My login credentials didn’t work, so I reset my password. Then I kept getting error prompts saying I needed to add a number and special character — even though my password included both (@, !, and numbers). The app still wouldn’t accept it, and now I’m locked out completely. At this point, the app is beyond frustrating. Drybar is too established of a brand for the user experience to be this consistently bad.

1/5Update is garbage
Loved the app until the update, now it’s useless. The font is unreasonably large and I can’t scroll down on the date to schedule a time. Now I have to call which is incredibly annoying compared to being able to use the app. Just FIX IT PLEASE before I give up on this business completely!

5/5Love the new app!
The new layout and updated features of this app have are now on par with the modern and sleek shops themselves! I LOVE having a single place to handle ALL my booking desires!! It remembers my previous appts and allows me to rebook with the same bartender and everything! Blowouts and scalp massages never being a few finger taps away is self-care at its finest! Peace & Love!!!

1/5App reliability poor
The app constantly logs me out and is not reliable. Very painful. This feels like an esy thing for the tech team to fix. Make it more user friendly. Also, I don’t like how I constantly have to select “extensions or not” let me tell you I don’t have extensions and then remember it for me. Too many extra clicks to book appt

1/5Terrible app
The add to calendar function doesn’t work; the map shows you locations that are not open. These are very basic functions and it’s remarkable that a business this old hasn’t figured out how to resolve these issues.
