That is not a weekend's work, with an AI app builder or without one. That makes this kind of software worth paying for, not this one in particular: 69 of the 114 other calendar and scheduling apps grade higher. It costs $79 a year. - You could make: Appointment booking: an app builder makes this well. - You could not: Connections to other products, each kept working as those products change. - You could not: Selling tickets and checking them at the door.
