Early Access to the Android Appointments App!

[Devon]

Hey folks!

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

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!

Good evening. I'm so happy to come back to Square and see that the appointments app is now free for individuals, AND that an android app is under development. I would like to also become part of this test group if possible. I travel multiple cities for a farrier biz and will be traveling states soon. I would love the opportunity to have the ability of scheduling through my phone rather than logging in on a computer or "desktop view" to add, delete, or change appointments day-by-day.

Appreciate it!

It’s been over a month since I was told I would be added to the beta. Can’t seem to get an answer out of anyone from square.  Really unfortunate since not being able to use it on android is a serious disadvantage. Why are they even offering it if they don’t intend to deliver?

I asked starting the day they announced it. I think their issue is they are trying to make the app a be-all-end-all solution. They shouldn’t try to stuff full desktop functionality into the mobile app. Apps are supposed to be snapshots. Make it two apps- the POS, and the Calendar. Or better yet, they shouldn’t even make it an app- it should be a URL that dynamically changes depending on the type of devise it is being viewed on. Then they don’t have to worry about all different mobile versions out there, things being compatible, etc.

My employees just want to see their schedule on the go. Even on iPhone I have to now log all the way out and all the way back each time I flip between our locations just to see a schedule, it’s nuts.
