Bug Fixes and logical changes

1. Fixed the IE8 Popup issue. Appointy now works in IE6+, Firefox, Chrome, Safari, Opera
2. Temporary fixed the thrid party cookie issue in Iframe. Mostly, it happened on MAC. The reason being that the default setting of the browsers does not allow third party cookie. Your client would now see a message to enable third party cookies and will be redirected to your scheduling page at appointy. We will get a final solution soon.
3. Increased font-size of service description at client area.
4. Earlier, when you had admin open in the same browser, the popup did not show the book now button. It has been fixed now.

What you think about Appointy!

There are lot of things happening here at Appointy and we are amazed and thankful to everyone for giving us such a great response. I am pasting some of the extracts of what people are saying:

“I am actually very impressed with the appointy scheduling software. So far it is probably the best appointment software out there for our needs and I would like to test it out on our site.”

“Wow! Thank you for such a fast and friendly response. If there is ONE thing that can make companies stand out here in the U.S., it’s great customer service/customer attention. This doesn’t mean, of course, that the ‘customer is always right’, as the cliche’ tells us, but it seems so easy to stand out in a positive way when people are nice, they listen, and they work with their customers rather than against them. I suppose this can become more difficult to keep in control as a company grows, but those who figure it out are sure to go far. Thank you for your response. “

“This looks like a very cool service. I will buy some SMS credits on the new account.”
