### 1/5 — Can’t login

*2022-09-13, version 2.12.52*

When I was trying to login through SSO, it’s keeping telling me that login failed

### 5/5 — Works fine. Does the job

*2022-05-17, version 2.12.52*

It works fine. It does what it needs to do

### 1/5 — Annoying

*2022-01-28, version 2.12.51*

This app is so annoying. It takes forever to load and I can’t believe I have to do this. The end

### 5/5 — Works Great!

*2022-01-26, version 2.12.51*

I’ve had great experience using the app. No problems experienced and get my results as expected.

### 1/5 — Consent Form is Blocking Access

*2021-11-29, version 2.12.50*

When I open the app, there is a consent form for a study I need to agree to in order to progress. I hit the “agree” button but I get an error message saying that it failed to save my response. This happens every time I hit the agree button. So now I can’t see the status of my most recent covid test. Please fix.

### 1/5 — Add fingerprint option!

*2021-10-22, version 2.12.48*

Or let it store your login if it’s going to log you out every single time. At one of my buildings it takes forever to even load so I can type in my info. Could be good if you could fix this one thing.

### 1/5 — Use because you have to

*2021-10-12, version 2.12.48*

Doesn’t work half the time

### 1/5 — Bad

*2021-10-11, version 2.12.48*

Logs me out constantly, extremely laggy, does not work when I need it to.
