### 1/5 — Crap app

*2024-01-16, version 2.1.0*

Rubbish app won’t allow you to log in or start an account ?? I presume my data and certs are lost aswell

### 1/5 — Nice idea, make it usable

*2023-09-28, version 1.6.1*

Signing / logging in at the start of a licence renewal course was a disastrous experience. Get your act together IPAF

### 1/5 — Jason

*2023-09-18, version 1.6.1*

Just been on the course last week got through it okay so I downloaded the app registered it is absolutely useless. Nothing works deleted it now never again

### 1/5 — Programming issues?

*2023-04-15, version 1.6.0*

There’s already one week since I’ve been trying (daily) to login but still nothing happens. The damn thing is just keep spinning. Oh! I can’t post without rating stars so I have to put at least one… :)))

### 1/5 — Typical IPAF complicating things

*2023-03-23, version 1.5.0*

Absolutely useless. App directs to web browser, fill in all your details then redirects you again. 
Round and round. 
Not very good for us guys working on remote Telecoms with no phone signal.

### 1/5 — Rubbish

*2023-01-27, version 1.5.0*

Can not register or sign in, don’t waste your time

### 1/5 — Complete failure

*2022-10-09, version 1.4.0*

Upon registering I found that I can't see my categories. In order to fill it in manually I have to have an OP number from the card that I have never been issued. Shambles

### 1/5 — Update fail

*2022-07-04, version 1.4.0*

App worked fine, until update, now can’t access my info

### 1/5 — Ipaf app

*2022-07-03, version 1.4.0*

Even though i passed coarse on the day. Even the examiner could not get the app working for me. I deleted the app and tried reinstalling on phone. It even wont let me reset password saying contact admin. This failed too ! What am i supposed to do ? Tried the ipaf.org still can not get through. Very poor.

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work

*2022-06-17, version 1.3.2*

Absolute crap. Seems everyone has been having they same trouble for an extended period of time and they don’t seem to care or be bothered to fix the issue.

### 1/5 — 1 star is generous frankly

*2022-05-27, version 1.3.2*

You have to have this app to have IPAF qualifications however, short of being able to set up an account and get a registration number nothing works. 
To log in it has to open a web browser but then once it has logged you in and you close the newly opened tab you are just back to the log in Home Screen. 
No idea how I’m supposed to access any of the information it’s supposed to have available or even to see my license. 
Absolute fail.

### 1/5 — Awful app

*2021-10-20, version 1.2.1*

Having gone through registration, all filled out only to keep bet met with the same message “the account couldn’t be activated, please contact administrator”. 
Now given up and deleted app.

### 1/5 — Log in issue

*2021-09-06, version 1.1.1*

I signed up for the app and three minutes after creating my account I have a login issues saying it I’m not recognised oh my password is incorrect and my username is incorrect what a waste this is

### 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

### 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!

### 1/5 — ☹️

*2024-04-17, version 2.1.3*

What a waste of time trying to download,and then pull your hair out trying to register an account. Only got 1star because couldn’t give 0.

### 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

### 5/5 — Seems to work now…

*2022-12-19, version 1.4.1*

Read the reviews & thought I may as well give it a go anyway. All seems to be fine now. Fingers crossed it stays that way. Nice to have it on my phone as I always forget my wallet!!

### 5/5 — Worked first time!

*2022-03-27, version 1.3.1*

App redirected me to make an account on the IPAF website first, and it uploaded my info on the app. No problems whatsoever despite the previous reviews. They must have sorted out the issues. Well done IPAF!
