### 1/5 — Bugs, bugs, bugs.

*2023-03-02, version 3.6.2*

Bugs. Crashes. Trouble syncing. Sometimes showing no child registered. You name it; so many problems. By far the worst app on my phone. It hardly ever works right. I don’t understand why it has so many issues. Please fix. It’s hasn’t worked right for the 2-3 years I’ve had it.

### 5/5 — Not a pass

*2023-01-31, version 3.6.2*

Turns out you actually have to go to seminary even if you have this app

### 1/5 — Won’t finish authenticating

*2022-11-18, version 3.6.2*

When I first installed the app it worked perfectly and I was able to mark reading quickly and easily, but now every time I open up the app it asks me to log in, and once I do it says Authenticating and never finishes, it’s annoying because I check almost every day and give it 15 min to load but it never does. I’ve un-installed the app and restarted my phone multiple times but it doesn’t make a difference. Please fix this.

### 5/5 — Wow

*2022-09-13, version 3.6.2*

So this is our new generation? Half of us choose to follow God and put off the natural man, while the other half rebels and indulges in life’s temporary pleasure thinking it to be mature or brave. I would suggest a change of heart to you who do indulge in this things and congratulations and perseverance for those who follow God.

### 1/5 — App development incomplete

*2022-08-07, version 3.6.2*

There is so much basic functionality missing that there’s no way this could have been finished before submitting to the App Store.   You will see this yourself if you waste your time and ignore this review.  Don’t bother it isn’t finished, you cannot do anything with this app.  Zero functionality right now.

### 2/5 — App not working correctly

*2022-05-22, version 3.6.1*

I love this app when it works. But it hasn’t worked for  last few months. I have to log in and out. And eventually that doesn’t work so I have to uninstall and reinstall the app again for it to work one time. Please fix. Please!!!!

### 3/5 — Was good

*2022-05-17, version 3.6.1*

As a seminary teacher I used this to track reading and attendance, it no longer works and gives me a link to the Web that doesn’t work for tracking my students attendance or reading.

### 1/5 — This app is an embarrassment

*2022-05-13, version 3.6.1*

I am a seminary teacher and this app is an absolute joke.  It works for the kids about 25% of the time—and many of the kids can’t get it to work at all.  It used to work for teachers to take attendance (sporadically), but now that functionality is gone too.  
If you are a teacher and want to take attendance, the app directs you to the Wise2 website—but it isn’t optimized for mobile.  So unless you have a PC—you can’t do anything.   Hopefully the church gets its act together soon.  The fact that it has been essentially non-functional for over a year gives the impression that seminary is not a priority for the church.

### 3/5 — Needs a lot of refreshes

*2022-05-12, version 3.6.1*

In order to do my readings I have to refresh my home page 3-4 times to have my classes pull up. I also have too hard close the app to switch between classes. It didn’t show my information or credit info as well because I need to refresh it.

### 3/5 — Glitching

*2022-04-28, version 3.4.0*

Every time I try to even use the app, it says I’m not registered for my seminary class. I then have to redownload it and log myself back in. Then in around two weeks it glitches again and the cycle repeats.
