Needs Some Work…
My issue with the app is that, you have to scan your certificate or put in information that’s needed manually. In my opinion, once you scan the QR Code or put in manually, you should have to option to save it. That way it prevents you from having to do these steps every time you open the app. I can say for me, I don’t carry the certificate nor the registration number on me at no times. I would love to be able to just open the app and look at the Star that I dedicated to my son in honor of his name whenever I want to. So maybe look into fixing that, and you might get a better rating from me.
