Amazing Customer Service / Support! I used swimbooker to book a session for my husband — super easy and straightforward! I made a mistake with my booking and so contacted the customer support. Tamsin came back to me very promptly and politely, dealt with the issue efficiently and effectively and got everything sorted for me. So thank you Tamsin!
Always great to get to the lake but even better when you can dive into the nitty gritty before you get there. swimbooker platform allows you to see what's what and some lakes have a fly through to see it all. Interacting with the app couldn't be easier. Very self intuitive.
100% great service, easy to use, fantastic customer service and very very helpful. All the times I've booked up my fishing I've never had a problem and feel safe using the app.
