## Review summary

The GoCanvas Android app shows a mix of praise and frustration. Some reviews call it very good and say it works as intended when functioning. But many reports focus on stability and performance problems: frequent crashes, force closes, long delays (options ~15 seconds), and general unresponsiveness. Android-specific issues include not opening or loading on certain devices (S25, S24 Ultra) and even installation failures. Login/sign-in problems and data submission issues are also common. Overall, it can serve form/workflow needs, but reliability and device compatibility bugs appear widespread and urgent fixes are needed.

### Pros

- Some users report the app handles form/dispatch tasks adequately (and has 5-star ratings).
- A subset of reviewers express overall satisfaction and usefulness for their workflows.
- The app is perceived as functional when not experiencing issues.

### Cons

- Frequent crashes and instability, including app crashing on startup and force closes.
- Severe performance lag and unresponsiveness, with long delays (e.g., options taking about 15 seconds).
- Android-specific compatibility issues, such as not opening/loading on certain devices and installation failures.
- Login/sign-in problems and data submission issues (e.g., 'Keep me signed in' not working, app closing after login).
- User experience and reliability problems, including complexity, lack of helpful progress indicators, and occasional data loss from auto-save issues.
