## Reviews

### "Great for Lessons" — 4.0/5

> **Natasha** | *18 January 2022* | Sports | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: UpperHand has made it very easy for our clients to book lessons and apply credits from bulk packages. Also made it easier for instructors to see who scheduled lessons with them. Instead of waiting for an email form our training director.
> 
> **Cons**: Still have to do a work around if an instructor needs to be listed for multiple sessions the same day but is flagged as a conflict.

### "So convenient\!" — 5.0/5

> **Jiselle** | *30 January 2020* | Nonprofit Organisation Management | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Being a non-profit that is focused on many aspects, this software helps me in each one. The many programs we run, employee tracking, and in the near future, facility management. You aren't really limited to what you can do with this software. If it isn’t something they currently do, they are open to any and all ideas to make it even more user friendly. Whatever makes it easier for us\!
> 
> **Cons**: The only downside is some of the small things that we aren’t able to customize ourselves, as far as special questions in the account creation process. Since they are always updating and coming up with ideas, I’m sure it will happen soon.
> 
> The entire process has been easy from the initial request for information, to setting up our programs and events. Would definitely recommend their software\!

### "A good looking product that still has some development needed" — 3.0/5

> **Alex** | *10 August 2022* | Sports | Recommendation rating: 5.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: It is a good looking product, and appears very professional from both customer and business ends. It has a lot of functionalities, and has the foundation to eventually be able to handle everything a business might need as far as management.
> 
> **Cons**: Many of the features are limited, i.e. it has a payroll tracker, but no payroll integration, or it has accounting functions, but not ones that are actually usable from an accounting perspective.
> 
> The support staff, or specifically our point of contact, has been very responsive, helpful, and helped implement developments directly related to our request to the entire product. However, the software clearly still has bugs, and is run by developers, not consumers.

### "Great Support, Developing Product" — 4.0/5

> **CHRIS** | *7 February 2020* | Sports | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: We like how easily we can add and change things and how it tailors well to our use case.  The team is also very responsive and the software continues to improve.
> 
> **Cons**: Reporting needs to be stronger and more actionable.
> 
> We have a facility with multiple zones, with different thigns going on in them depending on the day , and even hour.  The software helps us keep everything staffed, organized, and paid.

### "Thanks UH" — 4.0/5

> **Donny** | *6 February 2020* | Sports | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Ease of use, great customer service, easy for customers and super Intuitive.
>

> 
> Excellent, super easy to easy and intuitive..great people at UH
