## Review summary

CareLinx users praise caregiver quality and some support experiences, but recurring app instability, onboarding blockers, billing issues, scheduling/time-tracking problems, and mixed customer service create a highly inconsistent experience across users.

### Pros

- High-quality, caring, and reliable caregivers.
- Helpful billing and support staff for payments and issues.
- Some users report improvements and positive experiences when the app is functioning.
- Positive feedback from users who had good caregiver relationships (e.g., Maria Garrett).

### Cons

- Severe app instability: crashes, freezes, logouts, and the app often won’t open.
- Onboarding/setup issues: new users cannot create accounts or get stuck during setup.
- Billing and pricing problems: incorrect invoices, delayed payments, and expensive ongoing charges.
- Scheduling and time-tracking problems: difficulty clocking in/out and scheduling clients.
- Overall poor customer service and communication, with reports of unresponsiveness or frustration.
