*2016-06-03*

Changed my password and it still would not allow me to log in, authentication error.

### 1/5 — Won't work

*2016-03-08*

With the amount of money I spend with AWS every year you would think they can make a app that lets you log in. Please fix the problem!!!!

### 1/5 — Still not working

*2013-09-04*

New version still does not let you log in.

### 5/5 — New Version

*2013-07-15*

The new version resolved the log in issue.

### 1/5 — Unusable

*2013-06-11*

I have been a AWS member for a while, and when I try to open / download a journal it tells me incorrect ID/ password.

I am using the right number and password.  This needs to be fixed.

### 1/5 — Authentication failed

*2013-02-19*

Won't let me log in. Keeps saying "authentication failed". App is useless and there's no way to contact the developer.
