User Reviews

Users report major issues with RSS Chemicals, including performance problems, unreliable authentication, scanning/search failures, and loss of essential inventory features after updates. UI glitches further hinder usability. A minority still notes the scanning capability as a positive, but overall feedback is that the app fails to meet lab safety and inventory needs.

Pros

Scanning functionality enables quick data entry from a mobile device.

Cons

Severe performance issues: the app is slow, unresponsive, and frequently crashes or fails to load.
Login and MFA reliability problems: difficult to log in, MFA/2FA verification is challenging, and users are often logged out after use.
Barcode/QR scanning and campus-wide search failures: scanning QR or searching serial numbers often shows errors or does not work.
Update-related removal of core inventory features: cross-lab visibility, adding new chemicals, and campus-wide search have been removed or obscured.
UI/UX glitches: stretched UI, inaccessible save/back controls, and login button not clearly clickable.

Recent reviews

Please improve the app as it tends to act very slow and becomes unresponsive. Also, a few times, it fails to redirect to the 2FA page.

Neither scanning the QR nor searching the QR serial number seem to work. I just get an “Error Occured” screen. This has been an on and off issue for the past few months.

It is extremely hard to log in to the app while working in the lab and having my gloves on. Especially difficult when I need to verify the MFA. Also, the waste management function is missing. I have to travel between the lab and office to get the job done. Obviously the team need to talk with the real users who are working in the lab and dealing with hazardous materials.
