## Review summary

Users praise Core by BQE for strong mobile access, cloud syncing, dashboards, and a refreshed UI that improves project visibility on iPhone/iPad. However, the app shows recurring issues with receipts (scanning, attachments, duplicates), persistent UI/UX and reliability concerns, and performance problems (slow login, timeouts). Some users prefer the web version due to these reliability concerns, despite the mobile advantages.

### Pros

- Strong mobile experience with reliable remote/cloud access and dashboards.
- Rich feature set on mobile with good project visibility and the ability to manage modules from your device.
- Improved UI/UX and modern design on mobile, making it easier to use.
- App delivers data and functions in the palm of your hand for day-to-day work away from a computer.

### Cons

- Receipt handling is problematic: scanning/attachment issues, data mispopulated, and duplicates.
- Overall UI/UX remains frustrating or not intuitive, with reliability concerns and a degraded user experience.
- Performance issues including slow login and timeouts lead to a poor, inconsistent user experience.
