### 2/5 — Great Start.... but?

*2013-06-17*

It's a nice app however the crash rate and dropping of issues is a bother. That being said I am using this overseas so maybe in the States it does not take 20 min to download, crashing and then another 20 to get the issue. My university has T3 so I can't imagine the 1.5 meg wifi would break the bank. Science is all about "redoing" it until we get it the best we can at that time.
