### 1/5 — Awful

*2025-02-08, version 2.6*

For an equity punk it’s shocking this is what we paid for. Continually signed out and the reset password link doesn’t work

### 1/5 — It’s got worse

*2024-08-30, version 2.6*

They updated it a week ago to fix the crash and now they’ve deprecated it and broken the QR code presentation.  Pathetic. Wish I could give it minus stars.

### 1/5 — Latest Update seems to have broken the app even more

*2024-08-21, version 2.6*

I just downloaded the app, signed in and all I see now is that I do have 20 shares, get 20% online discount but apparently NO bar discount anymore and there is no code for bar staff to scan anymore!

### 1/5 — Embarrassingly bad

*2024-01-22*

Despite years of asking for fixes on the EFP forum this app is still trash. 1. It logs you out after around 10 minutes, logging back in should be a breeze but it isn’t as it’s not compatible with keychain or any other password manager. 2. The local bar discount only works if you’re logged into the bar’s data harvesting WiFi (completely unnecessary and it doesn’t actually tell you anywhere in the app that that is why the discount isn’t showing). A sorry state of affairs but an accurate reflection of the state of the company over the last 3-4 years

### 1/5 — Always crashing

*2024-01-16*

This is a terrible app always crashing never loads and being a share holder it’s meant to show my discount and just crashes ment to be a business that is for the future but can’t make a simple app that works and the other app to Oder to the table doesn’t even show the beers that are actually in the building.

### 1/5 — Useless

*2024-01-10, version 2.5.18*

It doesn’t work.  Not much more to say….

### 1/5 — App crashes when ask for nearest bar

*2023-12-30, version 2.5.18*

Click on bars and APL closes every time

### 1/5 — Full of bugs

*2023-12-27, version 2.5.18*

Terrible app that is full of bugs. Nothing comes up when I go to my account and when I click ‘bars’ it closes the app.

### 1/5 — Unusable

*2023-12-26*

Went to Brewdog to play the pub quiz, the app crashes upon doing anything with the map or finding a specific bar. Logging in works but does not keep you logged in between sessions.

### 1/5 — Badly written app

*2023-12-17, version 2.5.18*

Does not make allowance for dynamic fonts.
I have poor eyesight and need to use larger fonts on the iPhone, doing so makes the app completely unusable.
