### 1/5 — Terrible App

*2021-12-07, version 3.1.10*

For such an expensive product this app feels like a child in Elementary School made it. Its not user friendly and missing so much functionality and full of bugs. Honestly shameful that this is even released. Please redo the entire app and actually make it usable.

### 1/5 — Rubbish

*2020-01-05, version 2.7.31*

Doesn’t work. No instruction

### 1/5 — Email feature does not work on IOS

*2019-11-05, version 2.7.31*

There is no send button on the email function.  can do everything on an iPhone up until I actually attempt to email the report. Can’t download the pdf either, so I have screenshot everything

### 1/5 — Total rubbish

*2015-06-30, version 1.2.1*

It doesn't do anything.  There's no instructions and no help. Total rubbish.
