Early Access to the Android Appointments App!

Hey folks!

 

I’m very excited to announce that we are recruiting sellers for an early access program for Square Appointments on Android!

appts-android-01.png

As of right now, the Appointments functionality in the app is very limited. You’ll be able to view a calendar of your appointments and personal events one day at a time, view the details of individual appointments, and check out those appointments directly in the app. Anything you'd typically do in Square Point of Sale-- creating items, managing customers, sending invoices-- you’ll also be able to do from this app.

 

We’ll be regularly adding more functionality to the app as we move towards launching it to everyone, but I want to make sure you know that this is an early access version-- if it were end-to-end ready with all the features needed for anyone to use it, we’d just skip ahead to launching it to everyone!

 

Being part of the early access program means you'll be able to provide feedback, and the Appointments product team will listen closely to your input. We may reach out to talk directly about how things are going from time to time. Your thoughts and suggestions will help us shape the path we take from now to launch and beyond!

 

If you’re interested, please reply to this thread and we’ll reach out via email. We’re keeping our audience limited to start, so we may not be able to invite you to try it out immediately. But we’ll be sure to reach out to everyone and let you know when you should expect an invitation to join.

 

Thank you all for your help as we continue to work towards launching Appointments on Android. I personally can’t wait to see this thing go out to everyone-- I know there will be at least 12 pages worth of happy sellers when that happens 🙂

 

Cheers!

Thank you to all who have shown interest in testing the Square Appointments app! Also, thank you to those who have reached out to the beta team to gain access! 

I have good news for everyone! The Square Appointments App is now in Open Beta! This means you can download app from the Google Play Store or by selecting this link on your Android device

 

You can create, manage and take payments for your appointments directly from the Square Appointments app. You can also view upcoming and past appointments as well as customer information.

We are finalizing things and tuning out a few tweaks, but plan to GA very soon! 

Please go ahead and download the app! Feel free to share feedback here or at betafeedback@squareup.com 

Thanks,

That is the vibe I get too. If they really cared they would put the same interest in developing the android app as they did the apple app.

I'm staring the think the same. It's been enough time that we should at least have a time line for release.

Hey there! Apologies that we have not been keeping up with this thread. We certainly are still working on the App, and you will all be invited to try it out very soon.

 

We've been holding off on inviting new sellers to the Early Access Program as we're preparing to launch a new, much more enhanced version of the app in the next couple weeks.

 

Hold tight, we'll be reaching out to everyone in this thread in the next few weeks. Thank you for your continued patience as we work to build this app!

Just sayin...Apple is not the leader.  

 

"In 2017, Android accounted for more than 80 percent of all smartphone sales to end users worldwide. Android is forecast to maintain its leadership in the market, projected to account for about 85 percent of all smartphones shipments worldwide in 2020."

I'm a new Square user, just getting started building my business.  I also am very interested in an Android app, and would love to be added to your testing list!

Any news yet? I spent an hour setting this up on my laptop only to then realize I can't use it on my phone.  Very disappointing. I've been with square for almost 3 years now.

It is in the Play store, but has very limited functionality. Maybe if all of us in this thread download it and start giving feedback in the developer comments, they'll get the hint.

I just got a new phone and looked up the Square app and it was there. It's an unreleased  version. Not seeing it today to add developer notes, but I have the app on my Note 9 currently.

Yea I don't think that's the right app. I dont see appointments in the app at all. I think that was for just square a long time ago cause it looks the same as the released version of square.

Mine is definitely the correct app. Green logo and says appointments and when I use it, it performs like the appointments app on my iPad, but with very limited functionality.

I am aware. Same app as my iPad, limited functionality. It's not showing on my Play Store currently, but it is on my Note 9 and working (to a limited extent).

Do we have a more precise timeline? It's been a couple weeks since we were told that an app would be rolling out. At this point I'm about ready to just xall it quits and quit checking this thread.
