### 5/5 — Recent Update

*2026-02-11*

Looking good

### 4/5 — New layout

*2025-12-30*

Still testing but seems to work as it should.

### 1/5 — Camera and flashlight issues

*2025-06-02, version 4.14.3*

I downloaded this as my organizing started using it. However I began having intermittent issues with my front camera and flashlight. Then all of a sudden front cameras don’t work and just give me a black screen and flashlight stops working all together. I tried a bunch of fixes but nothing worked. I then deleted the app and it worked immediately. I will not be downloading this app again.

### 1/5 — Junk

*2025-01-18*

Tried several different organization codes, none worked. It would be better if it had a drop down to choose either an installation or organization.

### 2/5 — Update

*2024-11-23*

Noticed the app had a new update a few days ago. Updated the app, was able to open it now every time I try to press on DOS Domestic, I get an “unknown error”

### 3/5 — Update

*2024-11-19*

Can’t open the app since my phone updated. Other than that it works as intended

### 2/5 — Notifications Don’t Clear

*2024-11-14*

Notifications don’t clear after being read. Count is also incorrect. This just started after recent update. Please fix it.

### 1/5 — Didn’t work

*2024-07-01*

Followed all instructions and it said my verification failed several times. Not user friendly. Deleted app.

### 1/5 — Terrible app

*2023-09-27, version 4.12.1.839*

App sends alerts multiple times even after they have been acknowledged. The only way to resolve the issue is to delete the app. Good riddance.

### 1/5 — I have lost all will to live

*2023-08-25*

This app has made me cold on the inside. I just can’t comprehend why this app has done this to me. What have I become. This is the end. Thanks BlackBerry AtHOC
