Ratings and reviews

Crashes randomly. I'm supposed to go to an admin section for correspondence as per an email alert I received, this section is nowhere to be found. Not even a search function can be seen anywhere either... The 'Correspondence' section that is there only has docs I downloaded myself, not the new one as per the alert. Then I open correspondence and it crashed the app 3 times in a row... Serious development still needs to happen before this app can be used and trusted...

This app has been in existence for years now but it appears to be getting lazier while increasing its non user-friendliness. Far too many restrictions with very little reason. The live chat function might as well be removed as nobody ever gets back to us. You can't even book an appointment as the slots are taken even as they appear available. This is something serious. This is tax yet there appears no sense of urgency from SARS. This app is frustrating. You can't even see or fix the permissions.

Can't use a password manager on the login page and there is also no way to paste my password from the clipboard. Because I use a password manager, I have a long difficult password and there is no way I'm going to try type that in this app. You might think your restrictions on that input is secure, but it's definitely not. Fix it or I won't use your android app.
