2. I wish setting milestones was easier and I didn't have do overUnfortunately, it could have been a great app, but it is just another website inside a frame with all the associated pitfalls, like status indicators getting stuck, pages requiring refreshes instead of updating instantly, and so forth.

3. The combination of the last two items makes communication a little harder because sometimes it's just more efficient to talk over the phone as opposed to written messages.

5. I have spent money on contractors doing the wrong thing their messages did not show up on the app but my messages to them would still send.

10. I'll fill out a milestone and then the information is lost, I have to do it again, or I end up just going to the website on my phone and not using the app.

11. If you're lucky, the message sync time is LONG, but frequently it doesn't refresh at all.
