This is a great way to connect virtually and show appreciation or congrats or the like when we can't see each other in person. The gifs are pretty great too

The graphics design and display is cool,The user interface is easy to use and attractive,the system responds very well and also uses less data. It is secure and one must have a username and password to access.Also the password reset option is very good...

The notifications get pushed down quickly when I'm checking them or if I want to find a specific birthday for an agent, it's hard to search.
