As I mentioned before, Fivestars has enabled me to engage with my clients and their parents without having to make them spend a lot of money for other tutors and learning academies. They are able to enjoy the coupons and rewards while having the feeling that they can trust my abilities in teaching and tutoring. Fivestars has been easy to use and very important to my business.
Pros
I like being able to implement rewards for students that I work with to encourage them to keep on attending tutoring sessions while saving a significant amount of money compared to other starting prices for other private tutors. It is also an incentive for parents or students to push their kids to keep on developing their skills while supporting my own tutoring business.
Cons
There is nothing wrong with this software. I have enjoyed every feature and I am excited for new updates and ways to engage with my clients.

Pros
I love traveling with my SumUp reader knowing I will always be able to very easily make in-person sales. The card reader is very easy to use and keeps the customer flow moving very quickly.
Cons
Sometimes the reader stalls when processing a lot of quick transactions but is easy to re-start it to get it going again.

Pros
Ease of use, stable and the added bonus of a sim installed for external use.
Cons
We opted for the basic card reader and charger which functioned excellently during our early days at our busy little cafe. When attempting to opt for a POS system, we found a little resistance and limited customer service.

Be wary of fault developing after warranty ends
Reviewed on 15/05/2024
Pros
It worked for a year, used very sporadically for charity events so we expected it to last.
Cons
It developed an error just outside of warranty - customer service refuse to help so we have wasted valuable charity funds on a reader used less than 10 times and now have to buy another. Poor quality, poor service, means our precious funds have gone to sum up instead of helping children so we're gutted.

Reviewed on 14/09/2023
Pros
I use fivestar quite a bit when going to Once upon a child to buy gently used clothes for my kids. It is based off of a points system and occasionally get coupons to certain places on it.
Cons
I wish more business would join fivestars. I feel that we are in a society now that a lot of people like having a rewards program and it's a good business builder for smaller businesses as well.

I love that it's very easy to use at the register, and you can see how many points you have earned from previous purchases. Also, very easy to implement your rewards.
Cons
Wish every five star company/business that a user shops with could be listed on the main page. That way, One could see the points or incentives towards their next purchase. That would in tern- give them more reason to come shop at the business.

The good and the bad.
Reviewed on 12/12/2018
Pros
Fivestars is an excellent software that is easy to use and is great for rewarding current clients. You can customize the rewards you give to current clients very easily. The text out feature is also nice to get your current promotions out.
Cons
When you sign up for the program they sell you on the business matching (marketing) for people that are on the app and near your business. You can create specials that pop up when people that use the app are near by. The problem is they don't switch on business matching for you unless you sign up 20 new fivestars members a week. I operate a spa that sees a lot of repeat clients and we don't always have 20 new clients a week which makes it very hard to be able to utilize this part of the service. I think smaller businesses should know this before they pay the big price tag for the hardware and service. Or they should find a way to include smaller businesses more effectively.
