### 1/5 — Only support latest OS

*2026-07-30, version 3.2.3*

I have a work phone that is old, but the OS is not supported. My non-work phone is too new and too expensive to be taking on site. I guess the developers didn’t think about this when they made it only work on the latest OS.

### 1/5 — Ads!

*2026-06-09, version 3.2.3*

Seriously, give me the old credit card style license back.  At least it didn’t show me ads!

### 1/5 — Worst app

*2026-04-29, version 3.2.3*

Bring back cards. Need this for work and managed to login once and now it’s forgotten my email

### 5/5 — Life changing

*2026-03-26, version 3.2.2*

Absolutely incredible new additions in version 3.2. I’m on this app just for the fun and enjoyment mostly

### 1/5 — Get rid of the adverts

*2026-03-19, version 3.2.2*

Why is this full of adverts?!

### 1/5 — Pointless

*2025-06-11, version 3.1.0*

App that is web based not a proper app. What is the point. They could not bother and just make an account on website to log into and do all the staff. Releasing something like this in this day and age is a joke. On top of that keeps crashing and not properly recording works or familiarisation. Frustrating pile of mess

### 1/5 — Usage

*2025-03-25, version 3.0.1*

Does this app still work ?? Can’t even log in .. I need to today too

### 1/5 — Me Nick

*2024-07-21, version 3.0.0*

Not well at all with this app, I have been waiting for one week to can prove my qualifications to work but I can not, and it does not appear on the app. The old method is better, I will order a card .

### 1/5 — Confusing

*2024-06-27, version 2.1.3*

Another app that takes you around in circles. Like another review says, you open the app, it takes you to the web, then when you try to access any information it takes you back to the app where you have to log in again! I’ve only had it a couple of weeks and am waiting for my 3a, 3b qualification to appear there I’ll update my review when this happens. I’m just glad I paid 40 odd pounds for a card (a rip off price), a certain and secure way to show your qualification on site. 
Do IPAF and other organisations update their procedures just for the sake of it? As they say, if it ain’t broken, don’t fix it.

### 1/5 — Email change

*2024-05-17, version 2.1.3*

Need to change my email address but when I get to the profile page only lets me change name and address, not brilliant!
