Skedda Reviews

The ability to visually see the daily bookings and have the user manipulate the reservation lengths. That was a key feature for us. Buffering time between appointments is essential too.

When viewing the calendar from a cell phone, ti would be nice to edit how many columns you can see. Our 3rd (of 3 total bays) bay sits outside of the portrait viewing justification - if your phone is landscape justifiied it is ok. You can hit the arrows but a lot of users don't know this so they assume we only have to bays. Even to be able to swipe the calendar would be a big help.

We have been using Skedda to manage our interview and meeting room schedules. In the past, this was handled by the receptionist and would be done using paper and pen. Now, the respective users are managing their own room bookings. These are the strengths of Skedda:

1) All online and completely paperless. As I mentioned above, we would be printing weekly calendars on paper and filling these out for each meeting room. We have saved so many trees with Skedda.
2) Creates accountability for employees. In the past, rooms would be booked in advance only for the user to back out. No one would have known about this. Now, if a room is booked but no one is there at the scheduled time, we can question and find out who is wasting our resources.
3) Skedda has freed up the time of our receptionist. She can now do more value added work such as guiding walk-ins.

Skedda can improve by adding a free-form time interval option to the scheduler. The intervals are currently done in 15 minutes which is too rigid for me.

It's free and looked much more user-friendly than Bookeo.

I couldn't set up the 3 basic timeslots we needed - am, pm and evening for different time periods 5 hours, 5 hours, 6 hours. Whatever conditions I set I couldn't get them to appear. It would just let me book any old time length slot. We also have a complicated pricing structure with different slots costing different amounts on different days. This wouldn't feed through either. Also when I fed the app through onto our Squarespace site it wasn't clear to users what they had to do. They wouldn't know how to drag the space without a tutorial. The calendar didn't look clear either, it was too big. Also, we have a 24 hour booking slot for the hall and this couldn't be set up either. It just wasn't intuitive. And I couldn't find any help function for the areas I needed. The YouTube video focussed on the easy bits.

I oversee a library system. Throughout our locations, we have meeting rooms that are available to the public. Previously, we had to book this over the phone on an Outlook calendar. Skedda saves us time by allowing our customers to book the rooms themselves. It's simple and straightforward- it does this one thing very well. Our meeting rooms are now booked constantly, with little time needed from staff.

Customizing it took a little bit of time. That's a plus, too, however, as we were able to configure it to look just how we wanted it to. Just took a bit of time.

It's easy to use from a smart phone.

It would be nice to integrate our schedule into Google Calendar so bookings show up without having to log in. If your Month view looked more like a calendar, I would be happy with that.!

its very easy to setup and invite users, it took me about 10minutes

there are no profile personalization for sub-admin por example, once you setup a time and need to change it because of an error, an admin will have to change it, those are also the users that setup general configurations and blockings, so if you delegate the task, those people can modify your settings

Easy to use, step by step process, the wording in the guide is personal, not stuffy making it easier to understand and is engaging.
Changes happen fast and is transparent for the team.

Beautifully laid out and everything other than the pricing conditions has been a breeze. Luckily the support team has been there to help with the (many) inquiries I've​ had regarding this and gone out of her way to fix them for me time and time again.

Pricing Conditions are a little bit if a struggle

It is a service that is very easy to configure and use! It is like an immediate response to any question you may have and excellent customer service that is worth noting.

Some people have had problems resetting their password when they forgot it. When you need to interrupt a series, delete it from the date it was selected.

I used this tool daily to reserve call booths as a Remote Year traveler. It's easy to use, and involves minimal clicks to book a space!

Sometimes I cannot cancel an event after booking it, but I think that's an admin-level setting, and not Skedda's fault.

Skedda is very user friendly and motivates sustainability by reducing the less usage of papers, diary records.

Sometimes people misuse it. They booked and don't use it hence there are some features that allows to send notifications of seat being empty.

We started using the free version of Skedda 3 years ago as a booking system for open outdoor beach volleyball courts in 4 different places. What we liked about Skedda was that it was really easy for new members to sign up and they could reserve court right away. It was also super easy to work with as an admin, setting up the venues and time slots, and even see how many booked over the year, and all this was in the free version.
So when we needed scheduling system for our business (indoor beach volleyball courts for customers to rent) there was no question that we took the business version of Skedda for our company.

Unfortunately Stripe which is the payment partner of Skedda does not offers service in our country, so we can not use the payment feature.

The ease of use the most feature I like informal. adding to that, the informal tone of the used language in the app is something new and was very nice to see.

being able to create casual accounts. This caused lose of control for us, people were forgetting their account password and thy would not reset the password, instead they just created a casual account. creating casual account was more convenient than resetting the password.

The ease of use, the pricing is good, I am able to use it on the phone as well

Nothing I can think of, except maybe in the free option you had the ability to see who booked the rooms, since only Admin could

What we like most about Skedda is our workers has the ability to schedule a room with having to call admiration office to book a room. This lets the admin office have more time to attend to office work in stead of booking rooms all day. Also we love the feature with the picture of the room you are booking.
This software is really one of the best thing that has happen to our facility. I have introduced Skedda to all my friends with facilities like ours.

I have found no cons, the fees are straight to the point and a 5th grader can operated the software!

People seem to find it easy to book our hall using the system and it makes handling the finances around the booking really easy and smooth.

It relies on using Stripe for bookings payment. Stipe works well, but we did have some problems authorising our account, especially after they blocked it when it wasn't used for a period during lockdown.

So simple to use and log bookings im not sure how I coped without it

None I have nonissues that I can record with this
