### 1/5 — Can’t even log in

*2024-08-18*

It doesn’t work.   Downloaded it and it wouldn’t let me create a sign in

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work

*2023-03-02*

The app will not let me even fill in my log on information that AOPA sent me. When I submitted a request for help the reply I got was refer to the guides in the email. The guides don’t do anything if the app doesn’t allow you to type in your login username and password. I click on the name bar an nothing happens. I have a 6th generation iPad mini and clearly it works because I can type this review.

**Developer response:** Hello - we are sorry to hear that you are having trouble logging into the app. Just in case you haven't tried it, please be sure to try logging in using a portrait orientation. With the smaller screen on the mini, the keyboard doesn't always show when the iPad mini is in landscape orientation. We appreciate your interest in AFTA and are here to help. You can contact us at aftasupport@aopa.org or at 855-557-5263.

We look forward to hearing from you.  Thank you.
