## Review summary

Overarching issues include repeated login problems, post-update instability, feature gaps versus the web/iOS versions, misleading connectivity messages, and weak customer support, with only limited positive notes about support readiness when present.

### Pros

- Some users report positive experiences with customer service (e.g., praise for Mary Mae Gundayao).
- The app is intended for scheduling and is viewed as useful when it functions.

### Cons

- Frequent login and account creation problems, including not registering, can't sign in, and being logged out.
- Instability after updates: crashes, partial loading failures, and inconsistent performance (e.g., works on cell data but not Wi‑Fi).
- Android lacks features available on the web or iOS version, and paid users feel essential features are missing.
- Connectivity issues and false no-internet errors despite being online.
- Poor or difficult customer support in practice (slow responses, hard to contact).
