### 2/5 — Inconvenient convenience

*2026-07-29, version 4.98*

Its seems helpful to both not have to buy or to remember to bring a laundry card to the laundry room. However, this app is so slow to load and to apply money to a machine. You cannot add additional time to a dryer all at once. An improvement would be the ability to all multiples of the dryer time units (say, 3 sets of 15 minutes). So you have to individually increase the time by waiting for the app the connect—in a basement. Then it asks you to rate the app every time you finally complete the transaction.

### 1/5 — Rip off

*2026-07-27, version 4.98*

You charge $10 for the card, thenn there’s no money in the card. You allow the machines to charge us for our app but the machines do not work so why take our money

### 5/5 — Works great

*2026-07-27, version 4.98*

Easy to set up and easy to use. Great phone support. Thank you!

### 2/5 — Horrendous app

*2026-07-23, version 4.98*

Constant disconnects and takes multiple tries to pay

### 2/5 — Overcharging and work issues

*2026-07-18, version 4.98*

It’s horrible period

### 1/5 — Not a user friendly app

*2026-07-13, version 4.98*

The app is terrible

### 4/5 — good

*2026-07-12, version 4.98*

app is good and makes things simpler but the machine or app can bug some times

### 1/5 — Slow, terrible UX

*2026-06-23, version 4.98*

Hard to use, half of the time is trying to “connect” to the point that I have to restart the app. 

No meaningful improvements in year. Get Claude or ChatGPT to build you a new better app, or at least hire a decent designer please 🙏

### 1/5 — An absolute nightmare

*2026-06-13, version 4.95*

If your laundry room has poor cell phone reception, this app is an incredibly painful to use. The process of adding time to your drier in 5-minute increments takes forever. It has taken me up to 10 minutes to set up two drier loads with 30 minutes each. Next time I’ll be going back to using my laundry card if they have fixed the card machine by then.

### 2/5 — Dryer “swiping”

*2026-06-11, version 4.95*

Being unable to add more than one amount to the dryers is a pain to deal with
