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!

I have the Square Appointments app for Android but am unable to update it when prompted. What should I do?

[Kianiriley]

I am having the same issue

[Helen]

Hello @jspreston2k @Kianiriley, thanks for flagging this. I've escalated this to our Beta team for you and they are taking a look now. They'll email you as soon as they can with an update. Thank you very much for your patience in the meantime! 

[jspreston2k]

Thanks so much Helen!

I am now unable to book an appointment through my android app. The "save" bottom usually lights up blue once all appointment information is entered, it no longer does this and I CANNOT use my phone to book. Impossible when I am not in front of my computer or my wifi only ipad. I have tried uninstalling/ reinstalling the app and that has not fixed it. What can I do to fix?

[jspreston2k]

Hello Helen! I haven't gotten an email from your beta team yet.

[ElementSalon]

I had some major feedback! please please add weekly view soon. I think that's the only thing holding me back from making the big swirch and testing this out fully. 

[Randicacciatori]

I'm interested in testing the early access appointments app

[Skinticians980]

We would like to be part of this and we may be coming late to the party.    But,  I am an apple user and my partner is not.  So I need for her to be able to utilize this feature or I am going to go nuts!!  Please advise what the next step is to utilize this platform.

Thank you.

When or how can I get in on the appointment app for android? I'm using the online version, but would love to have it in an app. 

[Helen]

Hello @Danadoeshair! The Android version of the Appointments app is still in beta. I'm adding your post to this thread so the Beta team knows you're interested. As mentioned in the latetst update, the Beta team will follow up with you by email as they start to send out invites.

I got the email!

I"ve been using the beta app for about a week and I've been sending feedback to via th app with the logs as directed. I've been having 1 major issue with the beta app:

1. I cannot check out in the app - I choose a payment method, key in the charge just fine. When I press the blue"charge" button the app crashes every time! 

The app does crash perisodically (expected for a beta app - I do send crash reports and logs); other functions do work, checking appoinmtnets, viewing details, and taking new appts. It is just the check out feature that is problematic. I can key in the sale, but the app crashes each and every time I click "charge".

I use a Samsung J3 phone with Andriod Oreo.
