### 5/5 — Difficult to reach developers

*2026-02-08, version 11.1*

Excellent app for longshoremen.

### 1/5 — Not worth it

*2026-01-06, version 11.0*

why charge annually Not worth recurring charges at all

### 4/5 — Quarters are wrong

*2025-09-17, version 10.6*

Is there a way to change the date when quarters start/end? Wages are also wrong. Needs to be updated.

### 5/5 — Can you incorporate 70%?

*2025-08-04, version 10.6*

Killer app love it, is there possibility for an update for i.d’s being able to assist you on 70% completion.

### 1/5 — Gone steal my money huh

*2025-04-23, version 10.4*

Here we go again now I have to pay again what the f😡😡😡

### 4/5 — Previously requested

*2025-02-04*

Multiple day input… if the information is the same everyday (not a comeback) it would be awesome to fill out the entire month. Disability etc.

### 5/5 — Best app on the waterfront

*2024-09-26, version 9.4*

I use it every single day big props to the brother that put this together for us

### 5/5 — Great App for Longshoremen to easily keep track of hours/ jobs

*2024-08-21*

Only thing I would change is to allow all on more than one device so it would store info in cloud I believe ? Not exactly sure about the storage or IT in general,  my career path is not that but if I lose my phone or need to input info on a different device like iPad or computer at home I would like them all to sync without having to backup every time. Then if  I use a different device I have to find file back up  and re enter all my info or enter new info that has not been entered since the last time I used that device, keeping track of my hours on more than one device or a new device would be so much easier with this and also save time . I am thankful for your app it’s great other than this little cloud idea . Thanks for your time

### 3/5 — Decent app but…

*2024-07-30, version 9.3*

Constant annual fee increases yet we contend with ads?? You work for PMA don’t you?!😡

### 2/5 — Pay wage

*2024-07-15, version 9.3*

I switch to casual and local, my pay scale is not corrected. I compare my check to this app n the numbers dont match up at all. It makes it frusturated on whats our true pay. Fix it please
