App Crashes and needs work

It is a constant source of frustration to load the documents only to have it crash and go back to the dashboard every time I try zoom in on the drawing. Complete waste of time and will need to stop using it.

App crashes

App crashes

What.

Th app is completely useless. It Crashes every few seconds making it totally impossible to view any plans.

Last Update Resulting in Crashes

Up until last update, app was a lifeline in the field to develop punch items and communicate with office team. Now the app crashes almost immediately when loading sheets.

Needs work

Unfortunately the app crashes constantly and doesn't save your markups. I lost 2 hours of work in the field yesterday because after saving and closing the markup the app did not save any of the markups. Additionally when it does save a markup you can't go back in and edit it. You have to create another markup that has no information of the previous markup on it. When adding a field note with a pin when you select markup sometimes it will freeze or the markup function is off the screen. You have to rotate your iPad before it will show up again.

Please fix this app, the previous release was much better. In general if you are releasing these apps they should work seamlessly without an issue so people like me do not loose hours of work.

Another note relating to the field notes app and I suspect this one as well, the field for description is not a field in the Newforma software. Any info in that field is lost. I work for a large architecture firm and we rely on this software to function correctly.
