### 1/5 — Remove It From the App Store

*2024-04-21*

This is the 3rd phone I’ve attempted with over a time span of several years, so it absolutely doesn’t work.  Last update 5 years ago? IDK if the developers quit & were never replaced or what, but it’s completely unusable & should be removed. I love the Modern States organization, by the way, and I take the courses on their website without issue.

### 1/5 — Won’t load

*2023-08-04*

Just as someone else mentioned this and just doesn’t work anymore, which I was really hoping to be able to watch the videos and maybe even take some of the courses mobile. 

I just get an endless reload air that’s similar to what the other person said about it not recognizing the Internet. More than likely it’s some certificate or DNS error on there and that needs to be fixed within the app and I really hope they get to it because this app could be incredibly valuable.

### 1/5 — this app is amazingly bad

*2023-06-11*

I’m amazed at how long they have not updated this app and how little they would need to do to just fix it. Even reinstalling the app does nothing when you’re logged after the first log in

that being said—modern states is an amazing organization and I don’t really have any qualms with the web version otherwise!

### 1/5 — The application rarely works on my phone

*2023-04-13*

Most of the time this application does not work. It comes up and plays videos for a small amount of time but if I close the app and open it again it gives an error. Please, please fix this. It would be so great if I could play the lectures on my phone instead of having to bring my laptop everywhere.

### 1/5 — Very disappointed in this app

*2023-02-25*

The app crashed after two days of using it. I was using this app so I could watch videos when I was not able to have my laptop with me. I deleted and re-installed the app and it still doesn’t work. I am very disappointed. I need to be able to watch videos when my laptop isn’t present.

### 1/5 — Problem logging in

*2023-01-12, version 3.0*

This is the second time I try to log in and this time it doesn’t let me sign on. I updated my password and it didn’t do anything. This would be so useful if it worked- at least I have a laptop

### 1/5 — Can’t login

*2023-01-02, version 3.0*

I changed my password. I made sure I was logged out on my laptop. I still can’t login on this app. It’s horrible cause I heard it works but I can’t use it.

### 1/5 — Does not work

*2022-12-07, version 3.0*

Does not work and has not been updated in years. First videos stopped playing, then it stopped tracking progress. No it displays a permanent error and cannot sign out or back in. Deleted app and re-installed and still does not work. Pretty useless.

### 5/5 — The Idea is Important

*2022-10-29, version 3.0*

I can’t tell you how much value this resource has, and it’s use as a Mobile application would be amazing.

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work

*2022-08-31, version 3.0*

This app doesn’t work at all.
