### 1/5 — Loose me once

*2024-10-21, version 1.8*

I installed the app fine, received the token on the right e-mail adress and used the same email address to register, only to get an error message ‘e-mail address is invalid’. You have 1 shot to get this right with a client. You lost me.

### 1/5 — Lacks functionality

*2023-08-02, version 1.8*

Once registered it takes you through 3 steps. Site , equipment and confirm.  Nowhere do you see a price before confirming. Rather use a phone

### 1/5 — I don't get it

*2017-10-08, version 1.2*

All this app does is tell you to send them an application form, with ID and proof of residence, in order to register to use the app. Really!
It also has some AR thing. Who knows what it does. 
I was expecting to do some browsing of the equipment and prices of stuff to hire.
