### 2/5 — New app

*2025-12-24*

Where are the depth ticks? 
Zoom is fast but you can’t scale time to 5min, 10 min ect.  It’s just a random time scale

### 5/5 — Fast, reliable and easy to use

*2025-12-11*

This app is an essential tool in my daily workflow. 
The upgraded version is a huge step forward- performance is noticeable faster, charts load and scroll / zoom smoother and navigation feels much more responsive. Really like the new look and performance.

### 1/5 — Frustrating App

*2022-06-08*

Coming from Pason this app is terrible. Very difficult to set up view and find the channels I need. Doesn’t stay logged in either. Ugh

### 1/5 — Soooo slow

*2019-12-13*

Whether on WiFi or cell data. It takes 10 minutes to load, freezes often. Thought it could have just been my phone. Got a new phone and it was the first thing I opened. No change. Absolutely hate using this app

### 5/5 — Great app but not saving information

*2017-10-05*

Tour sheets repaired in release. Great app. My only issue now is it will not save my information. Re-installed with same issue.

**Developer response:** We are sorry your Tour Sheets are not displaying.  Please contact our Help Desk at WellDataSupport@nov.com or 1-855-935-5328 and they should be able to help you.

### 5/5 — Great RTOC Tool

*2017-07-25*

This app was worth the wait.  Great for anyone who need to support RTOC staff and or monitor rigs while on the go.  Easy access to Daily reports, data and rig messaging.  I also really like the share option for sending screenshots of relevant data to coworkers.

### 5/5 — Just Like The Beta

*2017-07-20, version 1.2.0*

Get app, finally they came out with this. Wqs pretty crazy this didn't happen years ago. Very sleek

### 5/5 — Very stable first version

*2017-07-18*

Happy to see such a stable and functional first version. It's fast, looks modern, and I like the different themes.
