### 2/5 — Great idea bad execution

*2024-03-25*

Well, I like the idea of what this provides in the format. It is very annoying that it keeps closing you out of each section and is very laggy.

### 1/5 — Having a read hard time using the app

*2024-02-24*

It closes itself out and takes me to homepage on its own or will have a blurry screen behind another screen picture. Anyway y’all can fix this problem

### 5/5 — Me encanta!!! ☺️

*2023-07-15*

### 2/5 — Very glitchy

*2022-08-30, version 2.7.28*

I have had this app for less than 24 hours and is extremely glitchy. It will kick me out and put me back to the beginning. Sometimes it doesn’t save and I have to redo everything. When I finally got to the funding section it would tell me to verify my email, which I did. It has the blue check next to it showing it’s fine. And nothing is being sent to my email to be verified. Checked junk and everything. I’m very disappointed in this app. I did reach out for assistance, but they weren’t able to actually fix anything just send it off. I’m just going to use the info it provides and manually email these companies. Very disappointed in all the time I spent putting together the info asked and getting nothing out of it.

### 3/5 — Not a fan

*2022-02-08, version 2.7.22*

Although seems very helpful, and good material, it seems to be old and not up to date. I can’t see parts of the screen on my IPad. Sometimes it will automatically go straight back to the home page without me doing anything. Just seems like it needs an extreme update

### 5/5 — Find resources for your business

*2021-01-28, version 2.7.8*

This is an amazing framework for which to build your business. Once you have completed the app you can also search for what resources would be relevant to you. Highly recommended

### 5/5 — I love the fact that it is so easy to use and straight forward.

*2020-09-01, version 2.6*

The app really helped me creat my business plan with ease. The vision and values part of the app really made me rethink my purpose for this business. I love that the app is easy to use and it asked all the right questions to ultimately end up with a complete business plan. Over all it is a great tool.

### 5/5 — Highly Recommend to Clients

*2020-08-29, version 2.6*

^^^

### 5/5 — Amazing

*2020-07-31, version 2.6*
