Great suggestions, Davisjr. I just wanted to add the primary differences between Bookings for me and Bookings App.
Bookings for Me is reserved for public and private bookings just with one user - Me.
Bookings App is also reserved for public/private bookings to manage appointments for single and multiple staff members.
There are more minor differences, but this response aligns with this post's question.

Thanks also for the link to provide feedback - I have noticed recent updates so hope this may be functionality that is addeed in the future.
