### 2/5 — It makes no sense

*2024-10-09, version 2.3.1*

How are we supposed to make an account online , sign in and then use the QR Code at the same time ? 

I can understand maybe for security reasons but since using another device would be the only option it makes the app quite redundant.

### 1/5 — If I could give it 0 stars I would

*2024-10-08, version 2.3.1*

It doesn’t work, and it’s a stupid idea to need to have a web page open with the qr code just to link it and then still need to sign in, which also doesn’t work.

### 1/5 — Lasted 10 seconds

*2024-05-30, version 2.3.1*

I download this app just to see whether I was missing something; how are you supposed to use the camera on your devices to scan the code when you’re using it????!!! 
I mean who thought of this? I’d have more understood if there was a number to punch in as a replacement of the code you CANNOT scan, but no, logic doesn’t live here. 
The end.

### 3/5 — It functions

*2023-10-08, version 2.3.1*

It’s UI is a bit of a mess and a little all over the place, it has a couple annoying features one being when adding the app to my phone I had to send the qr code to another device so that I could log in. There isn’t an option to share the calendar with an existing calendar this would be helpful as I have to specifically go into smart hub to see this calendar, also the calendar doesn’t include the inductions only equipment and room bookings. What I mean by this is there two calendars. The UI could be better.
