### 3/5 — Good but with bugs

*2021-08-13, version 1.4*

I can’t setup Master Data, it says it has an storage error

### 4/5 — Muy buena herramienta

*2020-07-07, version 1.4*

Herramienta súper útil a la hora de estar en piso tomando tiempos, facilita demasiado las cosas y te permite poner mejor atención al proceso
Lo único que me gustaría que agregaran es que los registros pudieran enviarse por correo electrónico en un archivo de excel o algo así, estaría excelente. Gracias!

### 5/5 — Nützlich und anpassungsfähig

*2018-01-27, version 1.4*

Nutze die App zur Bewertung der Stabilität unserer Prozesse.

### 1/5 — Letztes Update macht Programm nutzlos

*2017-05-17, version 1.3*

Gerade eben vor 10 Minuten habe ich eine sehr positive Bewertung abgegeben. Eben gerade habe ich ein Update geladen, das das gesamte Programm zu Makulatur werden lässt: Man hat nämlich keine Möglichkeit mehr die vorgegebenen Prozessschritte zu ändern, echt schade. Ich kann mir nur vorstellen dass es sich dabei um einen Bug handelt.

### 5/5 — Great tool for production!

*2014-05-21*

I use this on a daily basis. It instantly shows your cycle time in comparison to the takt time. It also has the ability of exporting in a reasonable format.
