Your apps are garbage. I know it doesn’t matter to you because you don’t make money from the money the stores make you make the money from franchising but you are actively helping to kill your company one franchise at a time and eventually all of these smaller companies will die due to the movement of commerce shifting from in person to online and in the app. Glad you’re cool with this because your apps look like a first or second year computer science student intern created them all. They’re clunky, hard to use and not intuitive at all. I’m a junior in computer science and those apps look just like most of the apps that were created in my object oriented design class last semester. Mine looked better because I have an interest in UX/UI but it looked way better than yours somehow. I had to GUIDE MY FREIND THROUGH YOUR COLDSRONE APP SO SHE COULD ORDER HER OWN BIRTHDAY CAKE BECAUSE HER BOYFREIND WAS UNABLE TO USE IT TO ORDER IT FOR THE PAST WEEK NO MATTER HOW HARD HE TRIED. If I’m just a student and I know how I could do a way better job… you have a problem.
