Most Helpful Critical Review
Verified User in Health, Wellness and Fitness
Some features within the administrative side of the software can be cumbersome to use. A few features take extra steps that seem unnecessary and slow admin users down. The use of filters to drill down in data exists but using them can feel cumbersome.
