## Review summary

Users value the app for field quick-reference and lift planning, with chart/upload capabilities. However, widespread pricing shifts to subscriptions, post-update access problems (login/restore/domain issues), paywalls for charts, reliability issues after updates, and poor support severely affect its usefulness and costliness.

### Pros

- Very handy for field use and quick reference.
- Great for planning lifts and uploading charts and paperwork.
- Valuable crane reference tool when it works.

### Cons

- Pricing changes: move from a one-time fee to ongoing subscription and pricey upgrades.
- Post-update access problems: can't login, purchases not restored, and domain issues causing data loss.
- New library/chart access is behind paywalls; ongoing costs to access charts.
- App reliability issues after updates: frequent prompts to open the App Store or the app stops working.
- Support issues: invalid support emails / lack of responsive help.
