### 2/5 — Edits

*2025-08-04, version 1.6*

How can one edit or delete off log?

### 2/5 — Will we ever update this?

*2024-03-05, version 1.6*

Using an iPhone
Often just stops working while attempting to create an appointment, notifications come through late. Security house often just phone me to let someone in because it’s not working. No updates to this software since I have installed it attempting to fix the glitches 🤨

### 4/5 — Please update

*2023-08-29, version 1.6*

The app works very well and it has been a major upgrade over our previous app

The only downside is when creating appointments it only allows you to select a contact and not enter a number manually 

Please update this to allow once off numbers and the app will be perfect 

Thank you

### 3/5 — Needs updating: last updated 2 years ago / Apple Watch support?

*2023-08-18, version 1.6*

Works OK. 
But has very old looking interface. 
Ps : iOS notifications do not have preview data. 

Will Apple Watch app be coming out for this app?

### 2/5 — Unable to delete or edit appointments

*2022-05-19, version 1.6*

The lack in functionality to edit or delete appointments, create a security risk.

### 2/5 — Freezing like 40% of the time

*2022-04-02, version 1.6*

When it works, this app is a very nice tool, but it freezes very often and then you need to restart it.

### 2/5 — General

*2019-10-14, version 1.4*

Operation of this app is rough around the edges.

Could do with some work.
