Pros and Cons

I like that this app makes it more accessible to enter my development when I don’t have access to the sticker for my car window (after purchasing a new car) but it does have its issues. There have been several times that I have had to log out and log back in again or refresh the app by closing it out and reopening it in order to get it to work. One time I couldn’t even login at all and had to call the HOA president after my husband and kids couldn’t get it to open on their phones either. That isn’t a good feeling when you are locked out of the development that you own a house in. My guests frequently get confused when using the app too.

Worst app on my phone.

This app is a pain. You can’t copy and paste a phone number from your contacts because it has a require a specific format that is different from what the phone defaults to. It doesn’t allow you to enter a company name with a an ampersand. The vendor list is slow. The date fields are clunky.

Great

Auto Logging out daily

You made a change 2 months ago that affected logins. It constantly logs you out of the app without explanation or setting options. Fix it and fix it fast. It’s destroying the user experience.

Double1st name

Many people have a double first name and should be allowed to have a space between the names and still be accept accepted
