Ratings and reviews

Please oh PLEASE get rid of the login timeout. The notification feature could be so useful, but it's useless right now because you get logged out after a few minutes of inactivity. Logging back in is annoying as is. The app also needs a major UI uplift. Just by the splash screen, you can tell this is optimized for older 16:9 phones and everything stretches on even newer budget phones. The constant crashing is SUPER annoying, which logs you out, again, which is VERY annoying.

Update 4/28/23 - App now allows me to get into the system after uninstalling and reinstalling. It is still very slow and freezes constantly, but it is at least working. Worked okay for a week or two, now refuses to open at all. It will load for a long time (asking multiple times to close the app for being nonresponsive) before saying connection failed.

Down to 3 stars, since it still does crash randomly, just not as often. It only seems to be stable if I don't mess with the filter in the work order tab. Update to 4 stars from 1 star 7/11/2023: v2.24.1 is stable, I have logged in from 2 different devices and was able to apply filters in the Work Order tab without app crash. 4/27/2023: 1 star. Not working on Android 13. Constantly crashing after logging in and work orders list loaded. I have one phone on Android 12 and it seems to be fine.
