2/5Update
Why is dark mode the most hideous color palette? There’s no settings button to just turn it off, I shouldn’t have to change my whole phones settings just to make looking at STX pleasant. It genuinely gives me headaches.

1/5Needs a serious update
Would really love an update guys. Essentially, this is just a schedule viewer, which is just fine and all, but after the thousands of dollars you need to spend on the desktop app, this app should be free. But, for a $5 app, I'd expect a more robust feature set. For instance, the book view shows all hours from midnight to midnight. Maybe there are salons and spas that operate during those hours, but for those of us who don't, it's wasted space. It's a minor annoyance but makes the point. There is, however, the option to control and add inventory, as if doing so on an iPhone is an obvious first choice. It isn't. The features included are arbitrary, at best. For instance, on the desktop application, you are required to change your password every 90 days, it must be exactly 7 or 8 characters in length(no shorter and no longer), use letters and numbers and not be a password you have ever used before. My brokerage account with my life savings didn't require such obfuscation. I've spoken, at length, with support at STX and was told features are a last priority, behind fixing bugs and stability issues. Makes sense, but without adding the features that seem obvious to us using the applications(both desktop and mobile), I'm left both trapped and annoyed. I will happily give more stars if there is an update since the bug fix of October 2014!!

4/5Easy to use but could be better
I love being able to make appts at my fingertips! And the app is very easy to use doesn’t take long to get used to. Would be nice to drag more time from fingertips instead of having to use a computer. Times on the appointment blocks so if we’re looking on our phones we don’t have to scroll over to see the time and then forget what spot it was in so you go back and than have to find the time again. Real life struggles especially when you in a salon with many stylists names and you on the end 🤣 when putting in someone’s info and you have to get out of the app to find the correct info and you go back and you have to restart all over again.

5/5CEO
STX has changed our business & our lives (seriously!!) We were (miserable) Mikal users for 10years, and after spending 1/2 of what we did with Mikal in 2001, 2 iMacs, a MacBook Pro & 2 iPads, we went live on STX in Jan, 2011 and wow- STX is truly light years ahead of the competition! Amazing!! I can't believe anyone complains about paying a one time fee of $5!! STX is the best business decision I have ever made!! Is priceless to have 24/7 access to my business, no matter where i am! It's so worth it! I have a staff of almost 30, almost all of whom have downloaded this app on their iphones & ipods, no longer have to call the busy front desk to see when their 1st client for the day is! They can see their appt book before coming to work! We also have an iPad in the breakroom for the staff to see who's checked in, see their appt book, goals & daily totals, formulas etc. I'm not sure why others are having trouble connecting to server?? We are not experiencing that, but we leave our server on 24/7. STX & this $5 app has changed our lives! Thanks STX!!

5/5Great Job STX
I would just like to say first off, if you don't know how to use this application READ THE INSTRUCTIONS!!! I did and the setup was very straight forward and simple. So if you are having problems it's all explained in the instructions. I will start with my only complaint. We are paying a lot for the software. Make the iphone app free. There is no reason to nickel and dime us after we have payed a substantial amount for the software. I own the software and pay for online services every month. Those of you who are familiar with this know the expense involve and will understand. Make the app free with the purchase of the module. Now on to the positive aspects of this application. I love the fact that I don't have to lug my computer around to book appointments on my days off I can easily do it from my phone without have to port my router. I think it's awesome that it lets me know when clients are checked in to the salon and at any time I can view their status. I like to use the clients names when they come in and there is no way to remember them all this function helps me do that as well as lets the other stylists be alerted when their clients are there so that the front desk agent doesn't have to leave the front desk area to let them know that their appointment is there. I would like to see more functionality as the app is further developed including a little bit more control with the setup functions so if I needed to change an employees hours from home or mark them out I could do that. I would also like to be able to run reports as well. I know that this is a lot to ask but I'm excited what the future holds for this app. Thank you for all of your hard work STX. We LOVE this app and Salon Transcripts!!!
