BuildingLink Resident App 4+

Just terrible

I never held this app in high esteem but after this latests update it has moved to the echelon of straight trash, only with a bubblier interface. It’s buggy, market place count only grows, never letting you identify read vs unread, half the posts don’t load these days making you feel like that think you were certain existed is just your imagination, only for it to sometimes show back up again after force close and restar. Takes ages to load and refresh, crashes or freezes regularly…. And so on…..but hey, there is no other option bc this is what we use for my building. Ugh.

Even Windows 95 worked better

The app has been stuck in the past with a basic user interface and functionality. No bells and whistles but at least it worked okay.

Now the app has gotten worse with the latest update. Upon opening the app from background, it freezes with a spinning loading circle so I have to force close and reopen it. Then, I have to manually log back in and allow notifications as it forgets the login and the notifications setting it prompted me the last time I had to use Building Link. What’s the point of even using the app if it requires a login every time I want to use it?

Support says to uninstall and reinstall the app, which I have 3 times at this point.

The web app is better but also slow and buggy. Our HOA is looking at alternatives at this point. The fees paid for Building Link are not justifiable.

Bad app

Come on! How hard it is to develop well an app that makes / cancels reservations and displays text correctly?
I am sick of seeing <span style=“background-color: blah blah blah on my app when I’m reading text and I’m sick of waiting over 30 seconds for a cancellation of an amenity to be confirmed. News! The spinning thingy never stops! I have to go back and see if the reservation actually was cancelled

I hope my building is not paying for this awful app.
