Please fix! ### 2/5 — Can’t Get Past Create Account *2024-10-20* Every time I try to create an account, it gets to the last page with the details of my program goals & says “account created successfully” yet it doesn’t move forward from that page.

Not sure if I’m missing something or the app is glitchy. ### 5/5 — Amazing *2024-07-25* This app is so easy to navigate !
