Who let the third grader take a perfectly functional app and screw it up?!?!? The new version is fubar. So many steps just to find what you want. Please revert to the previous version. You tried, failed, now go back to the basics. ### 1/5 — New version *2022-05-21, version 5.2.0* New version is horrible. The interface is terrible. Cannot find anything.

Swipe and now you are back at the homepage. Now to do it all over again… ### 1/5 — Poor app *2024-01-07, version 6.1.1* Get tired of logging in all the time. It’s an equipment site not a bank. ### 1/5 — Trouble finding machines *2023-11-13, version 6.1.0* Too hard to find the machine I’m looking for. Loved the old way. ### 1/5 — Bring back the old app *2023-06-28, version 5.9.4* This new app is not intuitive and takes forever to find what I’m looking for. Cannot choose thumbnail view or sort on pricing. Please for the love of Pete bring the old app back!!! ### 1/5 — So many pop up adds *2023-03-19, version 5.9.2* So many pop up adds for shipping and everything else it’s hardly usable ### 1/5 — Difficult to use *2022-12-20, version 5.8.0* The old format was so easy to navigate.
