Pros & Cons from Real Users Pros The answer are more than friendly and sometimes over it. The Software is fast and easy to use. The look and feel is good. Cons There are a lot off very bad mistakes in this app. It always says I found the problem and it didn’t. I spend more than 90% off the Credits only to try that the software start proper counting but it doesn’t work. It could my bad English but the answer from the software are showing that the app understands my problems but it never corrected the problems. That means for my I can’t use the software and I can’t recommend it.		Pros from Real Users Pros For our internal workflows and tooling, we now use retool for everything. It is super easy and quick to get our critical operations workflows built. Excellent support from their team too!
