1. [R1] HoneyBook 2/5 · US Bugs: Fix the bugs yall. I’ve been using yall for 6 years and never had an issue this bad like shesh. I stopped paying 60 monthly because of it.
2. [R3] HoneyBook 3/5 · US iPad version: I just wish that I could use the whole screen for my iPad to work with this app
3. [R4] HoneyBook 1/5 · US In a toxic relationship with Honeybook: At first, HoneyBook was everything I needed. I could send invoices, collect signatures, schedule payments, capture leads, communicate with clients, receive payments, and keep my books organized all in one place. It felt like the perfect solution for my business. But lately, our relationship has become toxic... Simple tasks have become frustratingly difficu
4. [R6] HoneyBook 3/5 · US No IPAD App: Not bad on the phone sure but need to adapt for IPAD Please!
5. [R10] HoneyBook 1/5 · US Awful. Just use a different CRM. Honeybook is a waste of money.: They will not resolve issues for you. Ive been locked out of my account because my 2FA is not working and they can’t help me even download my contracts. All of this given they charge much higher than standard CRM/Invoicing platforms. If you don’t want your business to be in trouble SERIOUSLY AVOID them.
6. [R11] HoneyBook 4/5 · US Overall good, but expensive fees: Overall very useful, but transaction fees on top of the monthly fee adds up.
7. [R21] HoneyBook 3/5 · US it gets the job done!: I like HoneyBook however I don’t like the hidden fees for when they deposit money into the account. I do wish that the platform was completely transparent with all fees, especially being that the monthly is over $30 and in some cases 50 bucks. Other than that it’s a easy way to streamline Customer service in a client process, but those fees get on my nerves. also, I would lo
8. [R13] HoneyBook 1/5 · US Ai driven slop..: OS is awful unless you are on an iPad/phone. Support staff very kind but not helpful at all, as they rely on AI to handle most problems and every person who was responded to my problems addresses a slightly different problem than the one I asked about. At least the AI attempted to answer my question correctly and not skimming it. Contracts are such a disaster I paid for adobe f
9. [R22] HoneyBook 2/5 · US Lots of bugs lately: Over the past couple months the app has been so glitchy. Anytime I try to add a smart file to a project the app freezes up and I’m forced to quit it. I’ve contacted the HoneyBook support team multiple times about this with no solution. I’m forced to only use the desktop version of HoneyBook which is extremely frustrating. For the price, this shouldn’t be an issue I have to dea
10. [R25] HoneyBook 1/5 · US Customer service awful: No phone call help and tech support is awful!!
11. [R12] HoneyBook 3/5 · US Barely functional: Like so much of HoneyBook, it works…more or less. But. Its features are hidden 3 layers deep in menus. Menus pop up UNDER the keyboard, so they’re inaccessible, etc. It’s not great. But if you use Honey lol, it’s your option. If you’re considering HoneyBook though. 697 should consider whether the mobile app is crucial for you.
12. [R19] HoneyBook 2/5 · US Not intuitive and not good for iPad users: I have the hardest time doing the simplest things. Their mobile version is inadequate and I use my iPad for everything.
13. [R30] HoneyBook 3/5 · US The technology is frustrating: The app is easy to use, but clients constantly complain that they can’t find the link or submit button… because it’s so faint you can’t see it and have to click around until you get it. It comes across as cheap and that’s so frustrating!
14. [R31] HoneyBook 1/5 · US Buggy and confusing: Really bad, bad UI. Bad UX and bugs
15. [R9] HoneyBook 3/5 · US Need more flexibility with the quote/Invoice & recipients email should look normal in their inbox.: It would be great to have the quote or invoice with multi invoice in one with grand total for all in the end. For example divide by date or events when there is multi location and with multiple events but one client and contract. The recipients email should look normal in their inbox. Email comes bo
16. [R39] HoneyBook 1/5 · US Not always easy to use for multiple reasons: 1. For clients with weddings that require multiple dates of coverage like south Asian weddings, I cannot assign multiple dates in the contract that populates into the calendar.. so that calendar syncing is useless to me. 2. There should be a feature to just select physical payments to avoid credit card and bank transfers fees. Somehow sync with zelle w
17. [R52] Square Appointments 4/5 · US Features: I enjoy using this app, very reliable & the free features you’re able to use is definitely worth using. Some of the paid features should be included in the free package but overall it’s nice to use. Better than some other platforms.

21. [R69] HubSpot 5/5 · US Great App for outside sales: I’ve used a lot of different CRMs hubspots mobile app is the best I have seen! My only feedback would be I wish they would streamline some on desktop. I think there is some redundancy.

23. [R75] HubSpot 5/5 · US Great CRM: Awesome CRM and even the free tier is great, thank you HubSpot
24. [R89] Zoho CRM 5/5 · US State of The Art CRM: We have used multiple CRM’s for our business including Salesforce, HubSpot, Dynamics 365 Sales and Zoho CRM. Out of all these companies, Zoho seems to actually care about their customers, probably because they aren’t answering to shareholders. We found Zoho easier to setup, more streamlined, and have more features and automations than the competition. The mobile app is very i
25. [R92] Zoho CRM 5/5 · US President/ Owner: Zoho” With the team they have, the knowledge of each, the promptness of responding, the professionalism in which each one has shown to me , right along with the patience with someone who has been in business over 30yrs both as employee on into the purchase of, staying in the old style of Salesmanship, the older methods of scaling & outdated technology, ( that while worked).

29. [R100] Contacts Journal CRM 4/5 · US Finally a CRM: Finally a CRM I don’t have to have a monthly subscription to use. This app has what I need to keep track of my sphere and set my own reminders. Everything I need is built in with the ability to add a few extra fields if needed.
30. [R108] Bigin by Zoho CRM 5/5 · US Recommended for small business: I’ve been really enjoying my experience with Bigin CRM so far. It’s simple, clean, and actually makes managing contacts and follow-ups feel easy instead of overwhelming. As someone who didn’t need a heavy, complicated CRM, this has been a great fit. One of my favorite features is how smoothly it integrates with my existing contacts, especially being able to quickly
31. [R110] Bigin by Zoho CRM 5/5 · US Exactly What I Needed!: Bigin has been phenomenal. I was looking for a simple crm to track lead flow and stages but while still having some advanced features and integrations. Bigin is exactly that! 10/10.
32. [R112] Bigin by Zoho CRM 5/5 · US Good CRM: As a small business owner, I have found this to be the perfect CRM. Although it has the capabilities to be used by bigger companies, it does what I need easily and without complications. The ability to add an integrate other programs really give this CRM vitality
33. [R117] Bigin by Zoho CRM 5/5 · US Growing my new SaaS: I’ve enjoyed using Begin by Zoho CRM to build my SaaS and track leads, beta testers, and capture new clients. Looking forward to growing more with the flexibility Zoho provides.
34. [R28] HoneyBook 2/5 · US It’s Getting Worse: I used to LOVE this app. I would recommend it to all my business friends. Now, I don’t know what is going on. I keep having glitches, they charge a lot to process payments and it’s one problem after another when using the mobile app. I’ve literally lost money because of this app. Very discouraging.
35. [R7] HoneyBook 2/5 · US The phone app: I was on the fence whether or not I was gonna renew this year. The convenient workflow and honestly, the templates for the contracts are really what made me conveniently stick around however, the amount of times I’ve gotten frustrated with the phone app because it either crashes or freezes. It’s really inconvenient. Me just going to my desktop instead of trying to quickly handle som
36. [R15] HoneyBook 3/5 · US App Not great!: Have issues all the time while trying to send proposals to clients from the app. Been going on for years and still no fix!
37. [R16] HoneyBook 2/5 · US Love the Desktop Version but App Doesn’t Work: I’ve been using HoneyBook to run my business for several years and love the desktop version. Hands down the best CRM platform I’ve found. Unfortunately the App is basically unusable since anytime I try to create or pull up a file for a project in the mobile version, I just get a blank page and the circle of death. This is true both on my iPhone and iP
38. [R17] HoneyBook 5/5 · US Good for small businesses: 10/10! No compliants. So happy I found HoneyBook. Best system I’ve came across for my business.
39. [R20] HoneyBook 5/5 · US Photographer/Owner: I’ve been using HoneyBook for 5 years to manage my photography and photo booth business, and it has truly been a game changer. Having everything in one place has streamlined my entire workflow, from client communication and billing to tracking, automations, and all the behind-the-scenes admin work. Over the years, the continued updates and integrations have only made it more pow
40. [R36] HoneyBook 5/5 · US My Business Runs on HoneyBook: HoneyBook was easy for me to use from the beginning. I want to spend my time meeting and photographing new clients, not drafting paperwork. My Honeybook smart files make booking new sessions, receiving payments and bookkeeping smooth and relatively painless.🤣
41. [R40] HoneyBook 5/5 · US Love it!: Love it it does all my automations, tracks clients, keeps communication threads, contracts, and takes payments. There are so many pre features to run a whole business!
