### 1/5 — Latest update (1.5) has broken this app

*2023-05-14*

Can no longer import files, no errors, just completely ignores the fact that I want to import a file.

### 2/5 — App is Still Rough

*2023-04-12*

The basic functions don’t all work. 
Wireless transferring to machine works. 
Deleting of files doesn’t work.
The app feels like it was released before it was actually ready and then forgotten about.

### 2/5 — All functions not working

*2023-01-25*

I can’t use the pop up box for delete, etc doesn’t work !!

### 1/5 — So many bugs!

*2022-10-13*

Please FIX this. I can’t import or move my files around in this app. I have a VERY expensive investment in a machine that has a poorly tested and designed app to go with it. I am so disappointed and angry. I spent many happy years using the Accudesign app. This is poor in comparison.

### 3/5 — In progress

*2022-05-25*

The app has a few bugs. When trying to import a design it often freezes as well freezing when trying to delete a design from a folder. The pop up’s are helpful to explain what can be done within the editing section, however it would be more helpful if there was a manual or more detailed explanation for features such as changing the density or adding stops.
