Ratings and reviews

I mean it gets the job done, but there are so many amateur mistakes / bad UX decisions that make this seem like "my first corporate app". To list some. No alpha or number sort of locations, everything is a random hodgepodge of locations throughout building. UX/UI for booking a desk takes way too many unintuitive clicks and offers no defaults for something people will be doing A LOT. Password input for login is an open text field, not a password, meaning autocorrect tries to "fix". Could go on..

I'm not normally motivated to review apps, but this one is astonishing poor. UX seems to have gone out of the window, with jarring model dialogues which break conventions held by most mobile apps, periodic crashes that undo selections already made and a terrible, buggy design. Searching for people returns... Nothing with no explanation, the booking screens draw fewer hours on a calendar illustration than selected in the drop down.

Pretty useless app. Impossible to find colleagues already booked in to desks. Near impossible to book a desk as opposed to a meeting room. Preferences keep resetting to meeting rooms from desks, absolutely dire.
