What Users Dislike About the App

“The lack of communication and unresponsiveness from team support. I’m trying to cancel my membership and I just can’t find where. I have emailed Helpdesk and also a supposed second customer services but no reaction at all.”

“Not very dynamic material- Very Self led; no real follow-ups; or new material presented; some of it feels a little dated- also If a manager isn’t self-driven, or doesn’t find performance management useful they more than likely will not be self-motivated to log on individually to complete the modules.”

“This app requires you to sign in to your Apple ID account EACH and EVERY TIME you use it. If I could give it zero, I would. HONESTLY, I want my money back.”

“The app just opens and then a loading screen spins perpetually forever. You can’t click on anything or do anything. I’ve tried deleting and redownloading and powering off and back on, nothing works.”

“Not a real “app” just text…don’t waste your time with it. It also tries to “feed” you to their website where they want to sell you high priced extras so basically this app is SPAM”
