### 1/5 — We need the old one back

*2022-07-29, version 2.0.1*

We cannot ever check our account because it logs us out and can’t get back into the account I liked the old one way better it was more convenient and not difficult at all …. This new one is wack and dumb can’t update anything on my dpss anymore … you guys need to bring back the regular one

### 2/5 — Horrible app

*2022-07-14, version 2.0.1*

I don’t like this app at all. Ugh why they had to take down dpss app it was much better.

### 1/5 — MyCalwin Mobil App on iOS

*2022-06-19, version 2.0.1*

What a sad excuse for an app! it rarely Works & I end up having g to log in to my Acct online ! 
This app crashes, cannot open it close it  it opens on its own and stays stuck ! Pain !! Fix it or Get rid of it and Do a Fresh new one !! This has never allowed me to upload documents to my caseworker to get my account recertified ! I’m so upset it’s held up my case this year! I have problems every month with it ! Now it says it can’t find my case at all !! I was recertified 2 months ago ! 
   I hope your app didn’t drop me in the system and mess up my case !! Grrr unhapppy customer

### 1/5 — Can’t sign in

*2022-05-29, version 2.0.1*

This app is not working or is a third party fraud. I have no problem signing in through the website, but using the same credentials I can’t sign in through this app!

### 1/5 — Awful

*2022-05-27, version 2.0.1*

WHY did we change from DPSS mobile with no warning?? I got no notification mail or anything and only found out when I realized it’s not in app store anymore. This app takes you to the new website which I have an account on already but then tells me they don’t service LA on the app. Why did the apps change. This app doesn’t work I can’t even log in.

### 1/5 — Why they change the old one ?

*2022-04-29, version 2.0.1*

Don’t work at all , will not let me log in . The old version was better.

### 1/5 — Terrible

*2022-04-27, version 2.0.1*

Just like their offices, this app is non-compliant and misleads! I received a notification saying that I had to download this app in order to contact/update; however, it doesn’t even SERVE MY COUNTY!!

### 1/5 — MyBenefitsCal is a worthless app

*2022-04-25, version 2.0.1*

It doesn’t recognize my county which is DEFINITELY using MyBenefitsMobile to disseminate information to recipients.
My DPSS Mobile is no longer active because of switching apps so my only option now is to call the Dept of Social Services  and wait on hold for 3 hours each time I need  to check benefits, leave messages for my caseworker, get information; submitting documents must now be done by mail or  in person..  not easily accomplished when someone is disabled.

### 1/5 — Please fix this ASAP

*2022-01-27, version 2.0.1*

I’m begging you guys to fix this app. It’s slow and inconvenient. I’m trying to submit forms but there is no submit button for it. Just do something about it!

### 1/5 — Never works

*2021-10-31, version 2.0.0*

Every time this app gets updated, it never seems to work. You click update and it doesn’t. What’s the purpose of updating the app if it’s not going to work
