## Review summary

Users praise HailTrace's desktop version and value the app as a force multiplier for sales and restoration work. However, many face frequent app crashes, login problems, and find the app unintuitive and slow to respond. Subscription and data access issues persist, with some users unable to view appropriate hail events. While customer support receives positive feedback, overall user experience suffers due to technical issues and poor app stability.
