Overall the app is great and easy to use. I wish they would add specific dates and times for open and close like they have on the website

Impossible to use

The app doesn’t work. App support is unresponsive

Barely usable

At this point can’t access items. Things don’t fit on screen. Even on my laptop I’m gaming issues. Things flash up and then disappear so you can’t click on them making me unable to do what I have to do. They need to get a fix and quick or we will be looking into something else that’s more user friendly.

Terrible!

Can see users, but fail to allow any modifications. On the PC it works fine. Even when going thru Chrome on the IPhone, can’t view the complete website.
