### 1/5 — Ik kan niet meer inloggen.

*2024-08-11, version 5.6.0*

Ik kan niet meer inloggen op de app, daarvoor werd ik ook automatisch afgemeld.

### 4/5 — Magnifica pero podría ser Perfecta.

*2024-07-11, version 5.6.0*

Es una gran aplicación, pienso que si se le dedica a su desarrollo en el sentido de agregar funciones y mejorar la estética, como enviar mensajes, opiniones múltiples… podría ser una gran aplicación usada luego de un poco de darse a conocer.

The concept is great though 👌🏼
