### 1/5 — Keeps crashing, doesnt save

*2022-01-25, version 7.3.16*

Constantly crashes when you almost finish calcs, then you find it hasn’t saved your project.
Seems to only save if you make it to the end and send a report.
Why not have a save button so you can control it.

### 1/5 — Constantly Crashes

*2019-11-13, version 7.3.7*

This app will not run the advanced features above 50A load unless you have an internet connection. Regardless of having a licence. This is a annoying.
The report also has a bug with the fault current calculation. Upstream and down stream. Could be an issue with formatting but when a report is generated for a client and the kA says 0. It’s not a good look.
And of you go back through the menu, the app crashes and needs to be restarted. In particular after a calculation is done and you want to change cables type etc to find an alternate option, it crashes.
