### 5/5 — Useful app

*2025-02-28*

Makes keeping up with cases easier

Helpful skills feedback

### 1/5 — Does not work

*2025-02-17*

Current version of app does not allow me to log cases due to a technical glitch, even after deleting and redownloading

### 1/5 — Makes 0 sense and waste of time for everyone

*2025-02-11*

0 evidence and puts a lot of unnecessary admin burden on everyone 
Also logs me out and freezes after a few minutes

### 1/5 — Literally doesn’t work

*2025-02-08*

Trying to use this for residency. Literally doesn’t work. Can’t login. Can’t do anything I need to. Useless app.

### 1/5 — Bad

*2025-01-06*

Painfully slow, terrible formatting, hard to look at and navigate

### 1/5 — Poor quality

*2024-05-11*

Have to redownload the app every time I log in. One would think an app would be more convenient than a website but this has such technological issues it would be easier to just go back to a website. Also huge flaw that you can only ask for evaluations within 48 hours of a procedure (especially for residents who are working 24+ hours at a time).
