### 1/5 — Too Niche

*2020-01-11, version 2.0.5*

This app is too niche, there are already much bigger platforms that do the same thing. It’s not favourable to people working in the industry and consumes way too much data. 

The 5 star ratings this app has received are more than likely from the product owner that knows nothing about mobile apps and how important it is to keep them simple, data friendly, and most importantly, useful.

### 5/5 — Fantastic

*2019-08-02, version 1.1.4+16*

A much needed platform! App is super user friendly.
