Ratings and reviews

It used to work quite well, but the last month or so an update has completely ruined the app. 1. I have to login every time I open the app now, and if I leave it open for too long I need to login again. 2. App freezing, when opening the app, trying to track a parcel or opening a link that "shortcuts" into the app. It happens so reliably with links that open the app, that I've stopped using them. 3. App crashing when viewing parcel tracking information. Absolutely bloody useless app now.

This app is one of, if not the worst app I've ever used. Tracking management is absolutely awful. Saving description names of your parcels is supposed to be a great organisational tool, but the app doesn't display them half the time, you find yourself re-entering the descriptions over and over again. Along with this, the order of your parcels seems to be different each time you click on the tracking tab. Deleting past parcels from your tracking tab is a 50/50 too.

can't choose options very well for delivery options, doesn't allow multiple options if not in, rather than posting a 'something for you' and returning to the delivery office. there seems to be no option to complain about a delivery not meeting the expected outcome of options or posting another 'something for you' card on the second attempt. useful app but could do with some updates on giving better help and options.
