### 1/5 — Password/username

*2019-10-04*

Waste a time!!! Try to log in, tells me my password/username is incorrect. I did a new password tells me it’s incorrect. DONT WASTE YOUR TIME ON THIS APP.

### 1/5 — Not a working/supported app

*2019-09-24*

As stated in another review, the app and website both let you sign up with your personal information and then once your email account is confirmed, you can’t sign in... it just says “Invalid password & username”. Waste of time. 😖

### 1/5 — Non intuitive and worthless

*2019-07-28*

Great idea, bad execution. Can’t select projects, it always defaults to “My Project”, city filters don’t work.

### 1/5 — Bugs on sign up page

*2018-10-01*

Couldn’t even sign up, app crashed on the sign up page

### 1/5 — Totally doesn’t work

*2018-08-26*

Tried resetting password 6 times, no luck. Signed up using husbands email, Still no luck. I’m done!

### 1/5 — Not working

*2018-08-18*

Looks like this app doesn’t work at all. Tried it on three devices.

### 1/5 — Can’t sign in

*2018-08-06*

I downloaded the app and created a login only to never be able to login. I’ve reset my password multiple times and am still told incorrect username or password. And when I try to create a new account, I’m told that I can’t.

### 1/5 — Can't get set up. Terrible.

*2018-07-04, version 2.0.7*

The whole idea is awesome. All these fields would be a tremendous help! But... I delete tasks that won't delete. I downloaded it to my phone to see if it would function better, and it doesn't save info, budget doesn't work, tasks don't work, it's useless. Too bad! This could have been the only thing out there but I just spent almost an hour trying to make it work. I'm Mac tech savvy, I use a bunch of apps. This one is really deeply flawed. It's as if none of the fields actually FUNCTION. Guys, come on!

### 1/5 — Awful!

*2018-06-14, version 2.0.7*

Can’t even get an account set up. First the app froze when I entered my details, then when I tried to log back in it said my userID or password were incorrect. When I tried to change my password and was sent a code via email, I entered the code and it said wrong code. If these are all the problems with just getting the app running I can’t imagine the actual issues the app probably has! Also, I contacted their support to get this fixed and they didn’t even bother to reply.

### 1/5 — Crap

*2017-04-02*

Doesn't work! Tried several times to erase it and download it again, filled out the form so many times and then it says sorry this is a crappy app and I wasted your time
