### 5/5 — Good app, multiple use, good offers

*2015-10-27, version 1.14.80*

Used the app at the Melbourne festival for event info and also checked out their Richmond Zone. App worked well and I got a few great offers.

Worth supporting

### 5/5 — Great deals when you're in the zone

*2015-10-23, version 1.14.80*

A new tech app with great promise. The richmond zone along Swan St is packed with good deals. Worth a visit.

### 5/5 — Great deals

*2015-10-22, version 1.14.80*

Fantastic app that is worth a download. Got some great deals in Richmond.

### 1/5 — Unusable Rubbish

*2015-10-19, version 1.14.80*

Breaks basically every single usability guideline for mobiles. Nonsensical and confused navigation, buttons that don't do anything, almost impossible sign up, the list goes on. 

A case study on how NOT to design an app.

### 1/5 — Worst. App. Ever!

*2015-10-19, version 1.14.80*

Usability is horrible, nothing actually works! It doesn't ever find my zone and I have to log back in every time I close the app. 
Don't download.

### 1/5 — Epic fail

*2015-10-19, version 1.14.80*

Terrible user experience, doesn't work. Buttons that do nothing in weird places, design needs help wouldn't recommend. I feel like I just downloaded a beta app... Have I?

### 1/5 — Can't register

*2015-02-11, version 1.14.3*

It won't recognise any of my email addresses so I can't register

### 1/5 — Don't evn work m9

*2015-01-13, version 1.14*

### 1/5 — Can't register

*2014-09-05, version 1.11*
