FIX YOUR SCREENSHOT DETECTION

I was trying to record the date and time the daycare fed my kid SOMETHING THEY ARE ALLERGIC TO, and because your app can’t recognize the difference between a screen shot of the live feed and a screen shot of a note about my own kid, i don’t have access to the live feed.

FIX IT

Confused

I’m trying to figure out how I was charged $14.97 for a free app and still not about to login

Extremely SLOW

Lately it’s extremely slow to load in, it literally takes close to five minutes to load and today it required to re-sign in but it doesn’t respond to touch. Basically it froze at sign in and anywhere you tap it won’t register. Do Better.
