Useful but outdated and buggy

Trying to switch between menus like from the manual back to the library the app crashes. Also some things are not current.

Great features, needs updating

Love the information and accessibility, just wishing for it to have more current info on products, as well as to update the catalogue of manuals so as to reflect current software versions.

O.K. ladders, really?

Having the ladder information as a main option seems a little weak. I find a lot of bad links to manufacturers sites, and outdated or missing product lines (elation does make controllers for instance ). It is a handy way to find and store most manuals I have looked for. I'd like to be able to import manuals I get from manufacturers unavailable through the current links.
