### 1/5 — New download

*2022-01-05, version 1.3.1*

Downloaded app and am not able to log in. It is requesting email & password. But no option for new log in.

### 1/5 — Huge disappointment

*2021-04-06, version 1.3.1*

I thought this was an answer to exactly what I was looking for. Should have listen to the negative reviews.

### 1/5 — Can’t access app

*2020-07-06, version 1.3.1*

I’ve downloaded the app but it won’t let me log in.

### 1/5 — How do you create a log in

*2020-06-21, version 1.3.1*

There’s no where to create the log in. This is useless it has great reviews except for the people who have said this exact same thing. No where to create a profile and be able to log in as a new user. Immediately deleted the app!

### 2/5 — Can’t Log In **Edit: I figured it out

*2020-05-19, version 1.3.1*

Edit: 
I went to the app support. It took me to their website where I signed up and paid the annual fee. Now I can access the app. If I like it I will change my rating, but for now only adding one star bc it should have given instruction or been more user friendly in the beginning. 

So how am I supposed to log in?  I opened the app and found a log in screen but there’s no way to create a username and password to use for log in credentials.

### 1/5 — Misleading shouldn’t be allowed in App Store

*2020-05-08, version 1.3.1*

Download app only to find out it’s only for their website. Had to read the reviews to find that out

### 1/5 — Disappointed

*2020-04-23, version 1.3.1*

I don’t have an account and it gives no option to creat one?? There for I can not use this🥺

### 1/5 — Can’t even log in

*2019-09-25, version 1.3.1*

Just downloaded and won’t let me access

### 1/5 — Very Confused

*2019-09-21*

I downloaded this app after seeing all the great reviews, but it appears this app is specifically for people who already have a log in somewhere. I honestly have no idea where I can get a login and password.

After downloading the app, I opened it and it immediately takes you to a login screen. I've seen this before, so I looked for the first time user or new sign up button. There was no such thing. So I tried to put in an email and a password as if I was signing up new, thinking that must be the process. Nope it told me "user not found." I looked for a menu or a help of some kind, but the only other click able thing was forgot password. At this point I figured, why not try this. Of course, I got the same user not found error when doing this. 

I now have zero idea how to actually open the app. Definitely frustrating. Hopefully I can save someone else the time I wasted on this, by not downloading in the first place.

### 1/5 — Payment needed

*2019-09-17, version 1.3.1*

You need to pay for this app before it even allows  you to trial or look at anything
