The headline: your clients can now book without creating an account
The star of v1.0.10 is guest booking. Until now, booking meant the client had to create an account, and every extra step before confirming is a client you lose. From this version, anyone can book with your business without registering on Bookniapp: less friction, more completed bookings.
And it works both ways: the business can also create a booking without having to select a registered client. Perfect for quickly logging an appointment over the phone or at the counter without holding up the queue.
- Clients book without creating an account: fewer steps, less drop-off.
- The business can create bookings without selecting a registered client.
- Perfect for phone or over-the-counter appointments.
- Less friction in the booking funnel means more confirmed appointments.
Google Meet video calls in your bookings, classes and events
If you offer online sessions, classes or events, you no longer need to create the video-call link by hand. v1.0.10 integrates Google Meet: when you create a booking, class or event you can automatically include a Google Meet meeting, and both you and the client get the link ready to connect.
- Create a Google Meet meeting directly from the booking, class or event.
- The link is attached to the appointment and available to both parties.
- Ideal for remote consultations, classes and sessions.
- No copy-pasting links or coordinating over messages.
Richer metrics: new clients and recurrence
The metrics panel we launched in v1.0.9 is growing. Now, on top of bookings and revenue, you can see how many new clients you captured in the period and your clients' recurrence, the most reliable signal that your business builds loyalty.
- New clients captured in the selected period.
- Client recurrence: how many come back and how often.
- A clearer picture of acquisition versus loyalty.
- Actionable data to decide where to focus.
Simpler, unified class management
We have reorganised class management so it works like the rest of the app. When you open a class, it now shows in view mode by default, with editing as a separate step, just like services already did. The result is a more consistent interface that is less prone to accidental changes.
- Classes open in view mode; editing is an explicit step.
- Enabling or disabling a class is no longer done from edit mode, like services.
- Class UI and UX unified with the rest of the app.
- Fewer mistakes when managing your class calendar.
Guided onboarding and a smoother experience
Getting started with Bookniapp is now easier. We have added an initial tutorial the first time you open the app and a dedicated tutorial for categories, plus polished many day-to-day details.
- Initial tutorial for your first steps after installing the app.
- Categories tutorial to organise your catalogue from the start.
- Swipe-back gesture from a service or class detail screen.
- Better button contrast and tooltips that explain each action.
- Text respects the system font scaling, for better accessibility.
- Fixed the loading skeleton on the summary screen.
Security, privacy and data robustness
This version strengthens account protection and takes better care of data, for both businesses and the people who book.
- Comprehensive account protection for Google sign-in.
- Minimised business data returned to users: only what is needed.
- When you delete a service, bookings keep the service data: your history stays intact.
- The booking iframe shows a clear message when a business is not public or not available on Bookniapp.
- Fixed the password-change link, which now points to the web app.
Performance, fixes and how to update
On top of all the above, v1.0.10 includes performance improvements and bug fixes that make the app faster and more stable.
