Ratings and reviews

it freezes up and I have to give the wrong answer and go back to fix it. Plus, I don't know if it's the same with other phones (I have a Pixel), the next and back buttons are too low so it's easy to hit the navigation buttons on my phone. Also, I wish it would autofill name and birthdate. I only use it because it's easier than doing it onsite. It definitely can stand to be improved.

Great app, just used it this past week and showed another person there how to get it and use it. Unfortunately there was an issue where I had booked a time, got confirmation, had the rapid pass, but the woman at the sign in desk said I wasn't in their list and was going to reject me. I made a fuss about it she got in, but I question how quickly the app communicates to the persons running the donations. Otherwise would give a five. Don't understand others not being able to get it to work at all.

***Edited 07/20/20: Improvements have been made, so scheduling an appointment is definitely easier. Rapid Pass via the app is a huge help! And I usually see my donation entered by the next day. I have had ARC cancel for me, though, a few times. --Maybe the problem is w/my device, but logging in is extremely difficult. Each letter I type duplicates, so trying to log in is so frustrating. Of course, I love ARC, but I'll just have to visit their full site and look for e-mails.
