  1. [R5] SetSchedule 5/5 · US Made by amateurs for professionals: Fake reviews and fake leads. Our real estate team was excited to use this at first. We were promised verified buyers and sellers so we decided to give it a shot. Our first impression was mediocre at best. The app needs a bit of work and polishing but functions good enough. The real disappointment however was the leads. Basically SetSchedule will buy the leads
  2. [R7] SetSchedule 1/5 · US Probable scam.: The premise of the app sounded good and the leads were relatively cheap so I did not expect them to be great, but nonetheless, this is a huge disappointment. I have spent thousands of dollars on the leads because I got a little excited in the beginning but out of over 200 leads, I only got maybe 10 to answer the phone and of them only one was interested in buying, but worked in a r
  3. [R9] SetSchedule 1/5 · US Worst lead generation: Leads are bogus
  4. [R13] SetSchedule 1/5 · US set schedule is a scam from top to bottom, a company-wide practice.: set schedule is a scam operation that solicits Realtors by promising warm lead transfers. When in reality, the leads are cold. All you can expect in your "warm" lead is a name, phone number, and price, not a price range, just a price and nothing more. I was lied to by a sales manager with whom I spoke in great detail about the ch
  5. [R8] SetSchedule 5/5 · US Amazing: Amazing. Phenomenal customer service. This app has made my Real Estate mobile and efficient. I am now able to keep track of all my clients and leads. This makes it so I never miss a follow up, making my clients feel important and special. Thank you, Agentdesks!
  6. [R10] SetSchedule 5/5 · US An everyday use App!: The Agentdesks app is a must for any realtor. Meeting as many people as you do in the business, this app seamlessly helps to create an effective work flow. I recommend highly to all agents.
  7. [R12] SetSchedule 5/5 · US Easy: Great way to access leads, update quickly and call out without needing to use
  8. [R14] SetSchedule 5/5 · US User of over 2 years: After many trials with other CRMS, we chose this app. Been using a couple years. Top reasons we still use them: 1. Very user friendly 2. Mobile app 3. Great Facebook group with tons of support. 4. ALWAYS evolving and improving with input from users. You get a monthly update with all improvements.
  9. [R1] SetSchedule 1/5 · US Scam!: I signed up In Hopes to have more lead options in the slow/winter season. Since I signed up a year ago, I haven’t been able to see any leads on my portal. I’ve reached out to IT so many times and no one has solved it. I’ve asked for a refund and no one responds to my emails. I paid this company for 500 leads and received 8…
  10. [R4] SetSchedule 1/5 · US Total SCAM: They will steal your money
  11. [R2] SetSchedule 4/5 · US 1st run: Please add tablet support for larger screens. Will follow up review as we use this service.
  12. [R11] SetSchedule 1/5 · US DON’T FALL FOR THE SCAM: Please don’t make the mistake that many others and I have made. This lead gen company is a total scam and if you try to spread the word, they’ll cut you off. Don’t donate thousands of dollars for returned frustration and zero warm leads.
  13. [R15] SetSchedule 1/5 · US Fake! Fake! Fake!: Their motive is to take our 2 k and get rich. They have fed us old and fictitious names and numbers.
  14. [R70] Planday Employee Scheduling 1/5 · GB Extremely slow: The app is extremely slow on the phone. Not enough filters to check only the option that you want
  15. [R76] Planday Employee Scheduling 2/5 · GB Sagar Patel: Very slow and each & every time hang app whenever open it
  16. [R79] Planday Employee Scheduling 1/5 · GB Takes forever to load: Very slow at loadings
  17. [R87] Planday Employee Scheduling 3/5 · GB Lagging: Right, so far I used the app for a couple months now so that's my point of view : app is ever so slow, today I've received a message on the app and it took me almost 15 minutes to be able to load it. When I go on the schedule, again it takes good minutes before I can be able to scroll left or right to see the shifts. And please for the sake of God stop the app from sending 5 notifications
  18. [R61] Planday Employee Scheduling 1/5 · US Doesn't work!: Apparently this app is designed to work with the cloud/computer app, which is a subscription based program. You can't add more than one employee or group on the app and the help seems only for the online version, no help available for the app. It appears that the app is just a benefit of the online program and isn't designed to be a stand alone product. SO FRUSTRATING! I would have
