Overall Satisfaction with Booker

I piloted Booker for a few months in my district, trying it to see if it might be an easier way to book COVID testing appointments. When it was explored, we were experiencing very very long lines (150+) for COVID testing. It made sense to explore options for parents and/or students to be able to better manage the scheduling experience. We also thought if we could explore it for COVID testing, we could use it for other events, such as registration for new students.
  • easy scheduling
  • user friendly interface
  • 24/7 access
  • cloud based
  • fairly inexpensive
  • customer service was sometimes challenging to get timely responses
  • some of the features took a bit to learn from the end of those setting up the schedules
  • widgets for our websites
  • easy to use
  • simple user interface
  • saves on staff time
  • saves on customer service response time
  • reports are easy to prep and share
Doodle has been around forever and it is very easy to use. However, I have never used the paid option. Booker is very standard, looks good, and is affordable.

Booker is very user friendly with videos to help our staff who are setting up schedules. It has very robust features that our school district didn't really need when we piloted it. It has a great option for widgets to be added to websites, whether district or school site. We find that the more widgets are available, the more appreciative our parents are. This is definitely a product that is used in the business world and not in the school district world so it doesn't really have the personalization we need as a school district or a school sites. Should the site change its potential customers, it would be a great fit for us because scheduling is very challenging in a large school district, be it at the district level or at individual school sites.
