Ratings and reviews

Does not work. It won't allow me to log in my account. When you click on "Log In" at the bottom right of the screen, a page pops up with 3 options in how to log on: (1) "athenaNet", (2) "Single Sign On" for those with an organization account, and (3) "athenaText" for those who signed up on the mobile app. Since I'm an athenaNet user I tapped on option 1. Loading wheel pops up and quickly disappears, leaving me on the same page. I keep trying and same results. Very disappointing.

Crashes often, notifications can be a nuisance. Cannot search history, so finding prior conversations can be very difficult, and you just have to manually search. This is ridiculous in this day and aget-his is why we have computers, so we can search things. Really a very primitive messaging service

Notifications come in 20+ minutes after a message is received even after I've read and responded via desktop, I get an error pop up every time when logging in, it won't mark anything as read, and I could go on. Do y'all even care about having a working system?
