That is not a weekend's work, with an AI app builder or without one. It is one of the better ones too: its GPA of 2.6 is higher than 75 of the 85 other salon, spa and studio booking apps we grade. It costs $160.79 a year. - You could make: Class booking, appointment booking and reports: an app builder makes these well. - You could not: Checkout, card payments and sales tax handled for you. - You could not: A real app for iOS and Android. Something home-made would be a web page. A judgement by ToolGPA from this listing, by rules that are the same for every tool.
