- Nothing works
- This is the worst update I have ever been through

- What a simple idea that ya can’t get right
- Majority of the time I am not able to see the list or even fellow coworkers

- Forces updates multiple times per week
- New updates
- It take a few moments to adjust the new changes
- But once you do, it’s great
- Read the notes on the updates
- Wish i could give it zero
- This app has a terrible user interface
- Uses white text on white background
- Constant glitching
- No refresh option
- Forces you to log out when you close the app
- The previous to the update was awful, but it was way better than this
- Hope developers see this
- I hate leaving reviews let alone bad reviews, but I am doing so in hopes that the developers see this
- Does the app do what it’s meant to do? Sure
- Is it easy, accessible, straightforward and practical? NO!
- This latest update (version 9) has somehow made an already impossibly clunky app more convoluted and difficult to use
- Let me explain
- This latest update crams your previous “Position” and “Activity” tabs and a third “Queue” tab onto one page, making everything smaller and harder to click
- The tabs can be expanded by pressing “+” to show their contents, yet the minimize button “-“ seems non-functional
- What’s the point of having it then?
- Also, if you want to refresh your list (by the way, no idea why an auto refresh feature hasn’t been implemented), you have to directly drag on the reps - nowhere else on the screen works - which is an unwelcome change from the previous version of the app
- Due to the swiping nature of marking a rep with an activity, trying to refresh the list sometimes results in the activity menu opening, which is a huge annoyance when you simply want to quickly view the current list order
- A third thing, the menu tabs on the bottom are also small, impractical for phone use due to the size of the content within, and are VERY cluttered
- I’ve only mentioned a few things that stood out to me the most
- All in all, the app was already clunky and had its quirks, but the most recent update somehow made it all worse
- Should a dev see this, I’m more than happy to share more, and even offer suggestions
- I’ve worked in front end development in the past, and it seems the team with next up is ignoring core UX principles
- For what it’s worth, it’s a great idea, just the implementation for the phone app (which is used daily by the sales reps) is falling short
- Terrible new version
- No words can tell u how bad this app is
- I don’t like after update
- Is very slow
- Please go back before the update
- Made my job worse
- The new update is destroying my patience at work
- Made it worse
- Somehow the new app es even worse than the terrible old app
