## Reviews

### "works well for our office" — 4.0/5

> **Christine** | *23 July 2019* | Higher Education | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Being able to keep track of all the office items that can be checked out, how many times it's been used and the simplicity of adding/removing items
> 
> **Cons**: When people return an item, you have to check it in first, you can't check it out to another individual while it's still checked out to the first individual. It would be nice if it would recognize there's an 'implied' check in when it's being checked out to a different user.

> **Pros**: that you have a backup opstion when the site crashes you will be able te revive it again
> 
> **Cons**: that you can only install it on one computer and that the tech is not responding a lot someties it takes a week before the person responds
>
