Ratings and reviews

This app usually works great but lately it will not load and keeps asking to choose your preferences an error message but there is nothing to choose. Also, it started the pictures of the items were no longer loading. I hope they fix this ASAP. Otherwise was a good app

Surely this is a useful app. But its search option is not working and sometimes it becomes blank and it has to be restarted. If it is available offline, its utility will increase. Hope that the next release will focus on removing these shortcomings.

10 Years in the Making!!! Awesome app, once iOS only and now finally available on Android devices! Thank you!!!
