### 2/5 — Equi-BCS App feedback

*2024-05-07*

Whilst a great idea it is a very basic app with no support features or contacts to advise if help required.
There appears to be no way to update the horses’ age each year, the photo will upload but then doesn’t stay put and you can’t correct typed mistakes eg wrong weight entered and mistake seen immediately.
Not updated since 2022. Sad as this app has potential.
