The Walla App: Updating Waitlist Functionality and Modernizing the Account Experience

The Walla app has become the preferred method for clients to browse, book, and buy from their mobile devices. So how are we modernizing and optimizing their app experience—encouraging them to make purchases in real-time with up-to-date studio offerings and easy-to-edit account details? 

In our most recent product release for the Walla app, here are some top changes, features, and functionality for iOS and Android. 

Overall updates

Account balance: Client can view their account balance in their profile under Your Wallet
Refunds: Refunds are now shown and included under individual client transactions in the app
Plan status: Plans and packages will be labeled as active, paused, canceled, migrated, pending, completed, or failed payment so clients understand the status of their membership
Waitlist place, cancelation, and prompts:

• Place in line: Clients can now see where they are on a class waitlist and their number in the line—helping them determine their schedule and the likelihood of being added to class
• Cancelation confirmation: Penalty associated with your waitlist? Details will be displayed when a client decides to cancel, reminding them of the policy and giving them the confidence to move forward
• Reservation experience: When a waitlist is full, clients will be prompted to tap a button that now says waitlist, eliminating any booking confusion
