### 1/5 — The app crashes.

*2017-03-16*

This app is very bad.  I just downloaded it and I can't even get beyond the login page.  It just freezes on me.  I tried restarting the app, restarting the iPad, and nothing works.  It is frustrating.  I can't sent inquiries to the support either.  Nothing seems to work. I even wonder if this review will get sent out.  This is very upsetting.
