Basic funtionality doesn't work
DitCal has potential to be a solid appointment booking platform — especially for solo entrepreneurs and creatives. But right now, it’s struggling with some basic usability issues that make day-to-day use frustrating.
The issues:
Misleading time slot logic: If I set my availability from 12–1pm and my event is 60 minutes long, the app still shows 1pm as available. That shouldn’t happen — there isn’t enough time left.
No way to block out specific unavailable days (like holidays or one-off commitments).
Customer support is poor. You’re lucky to get a reply in 24 hours, and I’ve waited up to a week — only to receive a partial answer that doesn’t fully address the question.
What would make this app better:
Let us clone event types. Huge time-saver for people running similar sessions.
More options for design and branding so our booking pages don’t feel generic.
Support for multiple pricing tiers on a single event (e.g. member rate / drop-in / taster session).
In summary: Ditcal still got a lot of work to do. Fix the fundamentals and speed up support. For now, there are stronger apps available.
