### 1/5 — Outdated and horribly designed, poor from Pooley’s

*2023-03-04, version 2.0.8*

As title says, poor from Pooley’s even thinking selling this rubbish is acceptable, horribly designed even from last update 4 years ago it would have been outdated.

### 1/5 — Cannot Use

*2023-01-21, version 2.0.8*

Whenever I click ‘register’ on the from page it goes to a white screen and no further, you can’t go back or anything, have to close the app.

### 1/5 — Can’t even register waste of money

*2022-10-01, version 2.0.8*

Glad I have the paper version as the app is useless, do not buy!
Fails at first hurdle, blank screen lock up on pressing register. Tried 2 devices same issue, even after a restart. Tarnishes the Pooley brand. Fix or discontinue sale of this shoddy product

### 1/5 — Locked up within seconds

*2022-07-26, version 2.0.8*

Pressed register and it locked up with a blank white screen. Unable to get it to work on a brand new iPhone

### 1/5 — Registrar Freeze

*2022-02-27, version 2.0.8*

Downloaded this app and followed instructions to register. Screen freezes with blank presentation and nothing. Just how am I supposed to get access to the iPlates?

### 1/5 — Pooleys iPlates

*2021-11-17, version 2.0.8*

Simply doesn’t work, don’t waste your money. Stick to paper or buy with SkyDemon.

### 1/5 — Can’t even register

*2020-06-07, version 2.0.8*

Enter my details, back comes a grey screen, that’s it. Glad I didn’t subscribe to the plates first ...

### 1/5 — Auto update totally useless!

*2020-02-11, version 2.0.8*

The auto update feature and even attempting to download any updates to the app is impossible as it just errors out after about 5 minutes trying.
Needs a lot of work, suggest start over. Will not be renewing.

### 1/5 — Not Georeferenced

*2018-04-18, version 2.0.7*

Despite what it says on just about every flyer forum these plates are not georeferenced.  The minimal amount of Pre purchase information on Pooleys website is appalling.  If you want the proper georeferenced versions you will have to purchase within another App such as SkyDemon.

The iPlates App itself is pitiful.  The handling of search, favourites etc is poor.  The only way to make use of the plates properly is to export the pdfs to a third party App then organise them manually.

Total waste of money.

### 2/5 — Poor user interface

*2017-12-27, version 2.0.6*

The plates are good, as you would expect from Pooleys, but the app is very poorly designed and implemented.   For instance, to download all plates to be available off-line (which I am sure most people will want to do) you have to wade through a PDF instruction manual to find out that you have to type 'Pooleys' manually into the search box in order to make the menu choice appear.  That is quite stunningly idiotic!  Unfortunately that is not the only amateurish aspect of the design.  I hope Pooleys did not pay much for it.
