I've briefly navigated the app, so far I love it. In concept, this is fantastic for personal growth and for tradespeople to connect and share their work. But I did run into something that I feel could have been an oversight (although I know that this can easily be worked around by changing a simple setting) you can only select one trade that you do. I've done HVAC, concrete form, landscaping, mechanics, welding, machining, some light engineering etc and there is no way to select multiple trades.

Just downloaded the app and so far so good. A few things to work on -I should be able to click on my likes in one of my pics and show who liked it. -Dont erase the notifications just because theyre not new anymore. The minute you click on the notification button and see, it disappears. -Have a "block list" button. I accidentally blocked someone and i cant find a way to unblock them. Know that I dont know the users full name so I cant just look them up.

I'm 16, just started taking an HVAC class in trade school, as someone who has no knowledge of really any trade, this app helps a lot. Shows me a lot of stuff I'm gonna see in the real world and some stuff on there I can really learn from, good way to connect tradesman around the world too, and everyone on there is great I have yet to see any negativity, amazing app
