App itself works, but it is too time consuming tool for actual work. It takes ages to configure many readers, also requires rebooting of readers in configuring process. So it is not convenient at all. I do not understand how HID thinks that it is a best way to configure readers. Just to put OSDP address to the reader, takes up to 3 minutes per one reader. Imagine that you have 200 readers to program... App should have back button, if something fails you need to close app and reopen

Terrible experience with the template manager side of the app. App crashes frequently at the very end of the template creation. You can not edit templates or copy and edit templates. This would be helpful if you just need to change one or two settings for testing or when you have small differences between your sites. Having to re-create templates from scratch for every change you want to make or test is just stupid. Especially when that template creation crashes right at the end of creation.
