### 1/5 — Extrem lange Ladezeit der Datenbank

*2022-11-16, version 5.7.3*

Um die App v5.7.3.2759 zu benutzen, muss die Datenbank aus dem Internet aktualisiert werden. Das war schon immer so. Das dauert bei der aktuellen Version der App mit meinem iPhone 8 mit iOS 16 viele Minuten ( > 15min.) oder bleibt hängen. Und das bei LTE und guten Empfang. Und das bei jedem Start. Wenn man die App versehentlich einmal geschlossen hat… 

Das war bei älteren Versionen deutlich schneller. 

Warum kann man den Ladevorgang nicht abbrechen und mit einer älteren Datenbank, die meist nur ein paar Minuten oder Stunden alt ist, offline arbeiten? Dann wäre auch die Arbeit ohne Empfang möglich.

### 1/5 — Auf 6s nicht funktionsfähig

*2022-11-15, version 5.7.3*

Ist auf 6s nicht funktionsfähig

### 2/5 — Filterfunktion funktioniert nicht

*2022-11-13, version 5.7.3*

Filtern im Reiter „Aussteller“ nicht möglich

### 1/5 — Loading Error

*2022-11-03*

The app always stuck at the first advertising and tries to load fair data. Sticks at that screen and nothing happen. Not working

### 1/5 — Mr R

*2022-09-07*

The app does not give ‘forgot password” option on login screen therefore if you forget it you are locked out indefinitely! Never seen any app or software program ever that does not have this function!

### 1/5 — No offline functions???

*2019-11-20, version 5.0.0*

Useless
The app has to be always connected to the internet. A website would be better....

### 1/5 — Gute Idee, aber..

*2015-11-10, version 3.0.6*

Ich finde die Idee der App fantastisch. Jedoch stürzt sie ständig während des Ladevirganges ab. 

Bitte beheben!

### 3/5 — Sync geht nicht

*2013-10-31, version 2.6.1*

Webserver nicht erreichbar wegen angeblich schlechter Internetverbindung.

### 1/5 — Absturz bei Kalendereinträgen

*2013-10-07, version 2.1.5.0*

Jedesmal, wenn man einen Termin aus dem Veranstaltungskalender in den Applekalender einträgt, stürzt die App. ab. Sowohl auf iPhone als auch auf iPad2

### 3/5 — Ganz nett ...

*2012-10-09, version 2.1.5.0*

… darüber kann es aber nicht hinausgehen.

Prinzipiell ist die App schon zu gebrauchen,
wenn die Datenbank dann mal aktuell ist,
eine wichtige Funktion fehlt aber.
Die gesuchten Hersteller sind zwar als Favoriten zu markieren,
die Favoriten kann ich aber nirgends aufrufen.
Wenn ich einen bestimmten Aussteller suche, dann finde ich ihn auch, aber:

Perfekt wäre die App, wenn ich damit auch meinen Medica-Besuch planen könnte.
- Alle Aussteller suchen und schnell wiederfinden
- Gegebenenfalls Besuche sogar terminlich planen
- Optimale Wegeführung zum Besuch der gewünschten Aussteller

Vielleicht geht da ja noch etwas,
letztlich ist meine Anmerkung nicht als Meckern zu verstehen,
denn zur Zeit ist die App schließlich kostenlos,
sondern als Verbesserungsvorschlag.

Besten Gruß
