### 1/5 — Awful experience

*2023-03-18*

I can’t even create an account because you cannot paste your password into the sign up input. 

Most people use password managers (or should) and create unique difficult to guess passwords (and emails with “hide-my-email). 

As such, one would copy the email and password from their password manager app and paste it into the form. 

But you can’t do that. So I’m deleting the app before I can even try it. What a terrible new user experience.

### 3/5 — Not user-friendly but great idea

*2023-01-17*

Great idea to promote local businesses but not user friendly. I tried to check in at a place and it didn’t work.
