## Review summary

Many users find the SWEC app user friendly and convenient for paying bills and monitoring usage. However, a significant number report persistent login problems, such as the app rejecting valid credentials and failed password resets, which limit its utility. Communication errors with the server are common, and some find the app lacks features like account creation or password setup. Despite technical issues, some users praise the helpfulness of customer service staff, and the app's newer versions are generally seen as aesthetically improved.

### Pros

- App is easy to use and user friendly after updates.
- Allows users to pay monthly payments conveniently through the app.
- Good for checking daily electricity usage.
- Provides outage reporting functionality (though limited by login issues).
- Customer service representatives Jason and Melinda have been praised for kindness and helpfulness.

### Cons

- Frequent login issues: app often doesn't accept correct credentials while the website works fine.
- Password reset function is problematic and sometimes does not send reset information.
- Communication errors with the server frequently prevent login.
- App lacks functionality to create new accounts or set up passwords directly in the app.
- Mandatory updates sometimes cause the app to malfunction until device reboot.
