Very budget-friendly tool

Pros

It is very light on the pocket and user-friendly. Plus this app lets us track our attendance and print a hard copy whenever needed.

Cons

Well I would like to see more safety training options and have them updated annually. The newly added safety app is legally compliant but it has not been updated yet. Also I have suggested they add more areas to the safety training app and they have said they will consider it in the future.
