Pros:

Layout is clear; features are great - integrates with Physitrack and Xero. Note taking capabilities the best of those (other practice management software programs) I’ve tried (and I tried a few!). Saves me an awful lot of admin time. Intuitive, user-friendly interface.

Cons:

Would like to see more options for note-taking in terms of modifying fonts, font size, or the ability to add coloured flags, to highlight important bits of information.

Reasons for choosing Nookal

Preferred the features on Nookal even though wasn’t the cheapest

Reasons for switching to Nookal

needed proper practice management software, not just a diary - was taking too much admin time trying to do everything manually or misplacing patients’ notes!

Vendor Response

Hi Hester! Thank you for your lovely and considered review. We're so glad that you love Nookal and appreciate you taking the time to let us know. We also love user feedback, so happy to take any suggestions that you may have on board.

Don't Use For Classes

We have been with Nookal for over 6 years. They have been promising us a client portal all year for release in September. September is here and of course we are now being palmed off. We feel cheated and lied to and the customer service is woeful. Our last email was sent a week ago and we have not received any response.

Pros:

A range of useful integrations. Easy enough to navigate for first time users. Online booking has improved in the last few years.

Cons:

No client portal for checking bookings which is particularly cumbersome for group classes. Really not designed for anything but 1:1 appointments.

Vendor Response

Thank you for your feedback and for being with us for over six years. We truly appreciate your support. We completely understand your frustration regarding the client portal. It’s taking us a little longer than expected to ensure quality, but we're pleased to inform you that we're in the final stages of rolling out a beta testing group for this feature - we wish to make sure it meets the high standards we are committed to providing you with. We also appreciate your patience and look forward to providing you with the best experience possible.

Pros:

It is very easy to use and reasonably 'idiot-proof'. New staff are quickly able to navigate their way around. It has good integrations with other software platforms.

Reasons for choosing Nookal

Chose Nookal over Cliniko as at the time you could not separate injuries and their third-party claims

Vendor Response

Hi Rob, thanks heaps for the positive review, we are thrilled that you are so happy with Nookal. We are always looking at ways to improve so we will certainly take on board the comments regarding reporting.

Pros:

Colour coding appointments. Fairly self explanatory most of the time.

Cons:

When there is a clinic note in the wrong case file, the process to change it to another case is a pain.

Reasons for switching to Nookal

Changed jobs. I liked both. I think Nookal has a few more versatile options, but its been too long since I used Cliniko to compare.

Hi Estelle, Thanks so much for taking the time to give us your fabulous feedback. We are thrilled that you are happy with Nookal and that you like the colour coding of appointments.

Pros:

Happy Steps is a fairly new Allied Health company. Going back to how you first started your journey for your company, it can be quite daunting to set up. We love how user friendly Nookal was, guiding us through our set up, with cute jellybean mascots which is a bonus! We also absolutely love the seamless integration of Nookal with other softwares e.g. Medicare/DVA, private health insurances via Hicaps Go & Medipass, Physitrack; invoicing templates; integration of outcome measures & online booking button link.

Cons:

Nookal's calendar was slightly confusing for us to try to grasp initially with 2 users on setting up available time slots vs , however we managed to overcome this with the help guide on Nookal set up page.

Reasons for choosing Nookal

Nookal's cute jellybean mascots and user friendly interface

Reasons for switching to Nookal

The other product we were trialing was a more old school type practice management software that was too confusing to use, hence we looked around and found the jelly beans very helpful, hence the jump to Nookal.

Vendor Response

Hi there, Michelle, we are so happy to have you onboard and really do appreciate you taking the time to leave us such a positive review. We love that you enjoy Nookal's jellybean mascots, we think they add to the fun side of our website. Finally, we are thrilled you would recommend us and we thank you for choosing Nookal.
