Horrible app!

Nothing works! No matter what I click on it just won’t work!
Must delete!

Pretty Useful

Lots of good ACFT info and calculators!
iOS 14 update still slightly glitchy, but worth suffering through.

Broken Links

When browsing stories, I’ll scroll to the bottom of the page and tap on links pm the “related stories” section. The current page re-loads and never goes to the story I wanted to read. It’s disappointing because it seems the writers had the right intent with an execution that could still use some improvement.
