Your New Salon Branded App has been completely redeveloped and redesigned over the past several months. Our aim is to make it as easy as possible for your customers, to download and book appointments with your salon.
This article is to answer your questions on the new apps and some tips to get the most out of them.

Here's a quick video to give an overview
Branding
We've added a new section in Manager > Settings > Branded App. This allows you to change your brand colour and home screen image direct from the backend GUI, without having to resubmit to Apple/Google Play.
Marketing Your App
Please feel free to use any of the below images to market your app.
We would also recommend sending an email or SMS to your clients to let them know about your app and links to download it for both Android & iOS.
Opening Hours
You can change and update your opening hours for the app from Phorest on your computer. Go to Manager > Settings > General and click on Opening Hours on the left side menu. Simply edit the opening hours and they will update in the app. For more information on changing your opening hours, check out this guide.
TreatCard
Your clients can now view their TreatCard points on the Salon App.

Photo Gallery
The old apps used a Facebook Gallery to show images in the apps however, Facebook changed its Terms & Conditions recently so we now have the ability for you to add your own photos to your app via your Phorest Settings! These are applied per location.
