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.

Overall it's good. The UI needs a little improvement. Specifically when you go to do the RapidPass and you're asked to enter your DOB 1) I shouldn't have to type the slashes between MM/DD/YYYY, they should auto-fill 2) my phone's keyboard should automatically go into number entry mode and 3) currently at least on my phone (Pixel 6), the field I'm typing into is obscured by my keyboard, so if I make a typo it's not obvious.

App says I need to authenticate to see Rewards, but says login is incorrect even though the same credentials work on the computer. I completed the Rapid Pass on my computer. When finished, I clicked Email. The email doesn't show the barcode, just a broken picture icon. I go back and select Print. the print-out has a broken graphic icon where the barcode should be. The app doesn't acknowledge that I've already filled out the Rapid Pass. Why should I donate when you make it this difficult?
