### 1/5 — Useless app.

*2024-03-21*

Been using this for over two years. Not by choice. Costing me over $6k a year to use and is so slow it can’t be used. Takes over 2 minutes to load even after using only five minutes prior. How is it viable for a business to spend half a day waiting on an app to update? 

Developer has moved on to new ventures and has left this as is. Will never be made faster. 

Recommend going with someone else.

### 1/5 — Trade person

*2023-09-12*

This is absolutely Pathetic App, the only reason why I gave it a 1 star, is there isn’t anything lower.
I use to be with Maintenance Manager, which worked great 5 Star, Now B&A took over and it is a absolute nightmare for use tradies to use,
I had no choice with using it as my clients use there system, if you are a tradie and you have a choice, do not sign up too Bricks & Agent.
There is way better platforms to use.

### 1/5 — Waste of time

*2023-09-08*

Rarely loads,

### 1/5 — Poor

*2023-08-27*

Needs a lot of work, “notify pm” doesn’t work, “show more” often doesn’t fit inside of speech bubble so can’t be used. Really needs an overhaul
