## Review summary

Users report repeated stability and usability issues with Holdshort. Key cons are instability (hanging/crashing), weak calendar integration without iPhone Calendar sync or reminders, and pervasive UI/UX problems across devices (touch targets, layout, and device-specific display). There’s also a notable gap: in-app instructor scheduling updates. Some users reference quick fixes from updates and responsive support, but overall sentiment is negative due to frequent loading issues and usability shortcomings.

### Pros

- Support is responsive and fixes issues quickly (e.g., update fixes enabling pilot addition; acknowledged by users)

### Cons

- Frequent instability: the app hangs, won’t update, or crashes on launch
- Weak calendar integration: no automatic iPhone calendar syncing or reminders; calendar is isolated within the app
- UI/UX issues across devices: problematic touch targets and layout, header overlapping top bar, and device-specific display problems (e.g., text omitted on iPhone 8)
- In-app scheduling limitations: cannot update instructor schedules from the app (requires a computer)
