## Review summary

Users find SocialSchedules easy to use and useful for work scheduling, with quick setup and a generally positive vibe. However, recurring issues—crashes after updates, inability to see typing, notifications problems, landscape view limitations, and sign-in/logout glitches—undermine reliability. Improvements to stability and notification reliability are needed to match the positive usability.

- Very convenient and efficient for scheduling.
- Quick login and setup with straightforward access to schedules.

### Cons

- Frequent crashes and won’t open after updates, causing disruptions.
- Keyboard typing visibility issues: you can't see what you're typing.
- Push notifications do not work or are not delivered/visible.
- Schedule layout not visible in landscape mode (rotation issues).
- Random logouts and login problems, including trouble signing in or receiving security codes.
