Ratings and reviews

When the app does work, it works well. When I started using it 6 years ago it was fantastic. However, in the past 3 years that has not been the case. It constantly glitches and either doesn't show my real balance, doesn't let me turn on the machines, or the app just shuts down/closes out after trying use it. I've uninstalled it multiple times, re-download it and tried contacting support with no success. Every update just makes it worse.

After checking through all my notifications no matter what I seem to do I do not typically receive the notification that something has been completed unless I unlock my device and have my Bluetooth connected. Can't complain too much though when you can let customer service know when there's an issue anytime of the day and if something does happen, customer service is pretty decent to speak with about getting the problem resolved.

charges an extra 25 cents to run a dryer for 5 whole extra minutes and it's a forced pop up that could easily trip up anybody not fully paying attention, as far as I'm concerned, that's deserving of a 1 star review. This goes without mentioning the atrocious amount of time it takes to actually use the app to get things going or the fact that it literally doesn't send you notifications most of the time. Pointless.
