Users find the ASCM Dictionary app helpful for CPIM certification and learning supply chain terms, praising its clear definitions and flashcard features. However, many report frequent crashing issues, especially with flashcards for specific modules. The search and link functions are limited and not user-friendly. Additionally, users desire better flashcard management and more comprehensive study tools to enhance learning efficiency.
