Hi Tamara, thanks so much for confirming your review — glad to hear the automatic email templates and end-of-month reporting are still saving you time. One quick update on the cons you've flagged: Preno now integrates with Stripe, so card details are captured automatically at the time of booking rather than needing to be copied across manually. I've checked and it was switched on for your account after your original review. Thanks again for taking the time to keep this review current and confirming your 9/10 review!
