I have used this app for years now.but this year the UI was exceptionally troublesome. Could not skip questions to come back and answer them, attachment won't upload as UI kept refreshing, when tried to change answer and resave ; new answer was not saved at all. When finally I got tired and opened the web version , found out the app and web version are not synced. Somehow after many to and fros with my consultant we managed the process but it was painful.
