Ratings and reviews

It is not user friendly yet! After download the file, my smart phone states that there is a problem and the web site is closed! Upon further review, the program informse that I have five failed log in ( in fact, I was trying to set up the program on my smart phone to run) more than five times,and my account is now locked for 2 to 3 days. Then I can try to get into the program again. This is not fair and user friendly, as a beginner, errors should be made and failed to log in could be many times

After the latest update, there is no optional notification ringtone function. Because the optional ringtone is very useful for me that as I hear this special ringtone, I can decide immediately that the just received notification is need to check up instantly or not. 2019_05_24 可否恢復“自選通知鈴聲“功能，或者加設“鈴聲音量控制大小“功能。

"Improvements the notification" is actually a degradation. You can no longer turn it off. Is there a government app that actually works?
