Ratings and reviews

I have used this app for a few years now and it has always been extremely buggy. However, recently I noticed that any time I open the app, it completely mutes my notification volume slider. This is completely unacceptable. The app has no permissions enabled and, regardless of that, shouldn't be able to control my phone's volume for any reason anyway. This needs to be fixed immediately.

Edit: 10/27/22 - The app doesn't start most of the time I need it. Wifi, cell signal, doesn't matter. I don't know what happened to this app, but it has gotten much worse to use. It won't launch, it freezes, it take too long to execute a search. Fix this... Employees need this to work correctly. The 123/ABC button is the most annoying thing I've ever seen in an app. Makes using the app extremely frustrating.

In a word Frustrating. While the app is convenient and helpful, it it's and has been generally querky and, all in all, not the most user friendly. A comprehensive settings menu that allows one to customize the user interface and ensuring all information that is relevant and necessary is displayed, and that which isn't, well, isn't, would be prudent.
