Awesome

This is just what the doctor ordered. This app makes it easy to streamline communication between family regarding the family ranch.

Can’t Log In

It’s always a bad sign with an app when the first step should be so simple and straightforward and it doesn’t work. Since log in is broken, I can only imagine what else in the app is also broken. Total waste of tube.

Can’t log in to use it

It says enter email to send “one time link” to log in. Then when you do, the “link” in the email simply repeats the request. There is no “link for one time log in”. I hate when apps are like this….sloppy.

Life Saver!!!

This app is a godsend for me and my family. Our property in Lake Tahoe will be so much more organized because of this app. The calendar function is handy and it’s nice that everyone can add and edit if you make them Admins. The app I never knew I needed, but will never go without!

Calendar Issues

Initially, this app is exactly what we are looking for to manage a family beach house property. That being said, it appears there are some calendar bugs that need fixed. Moving from month to month in the calendar view is difficult b/c the red arrows are no longer visible to the user. All the red dots which indicate the dates on the calendar have been reserved are no longer visible to users. The most important function to use is the calendar so we need to be able to clearly see that dates which have been reserved.
