Flagged Pros + Cons
Con Navigating is time-consuming and non-intuitive
The user interface is non-intuitive. It requires a lot of tapping and swiping to get from one place to another and at the same time there are no explanations for what various icons represent or how things work. The interface takes some getting used to.
