Why do they make these freaking updates that render the app useless. It's so frustrating how the purpose of the app is to make this streamline but something as simple as extending a rental has too many bugs and then just gives an error message of "please call the number for additional support". It was PERFECT 2-3 years ago I've literally had to rent for over 10 months at a time and the app was perfect. This new format is full of bugs and glitches making this such a bad experience.

What happened? New version is a pretty redesign, but so much slower. It takes 3x as long to make a reservation as before. The previous version had very few problems (regular booking and free day booking were on different screens), but was overall very solid. Separately, why do some airport locations require me to enter my arrival airline, and then offer names that no longer exist, some in over 30 years? Here's looking at you, Pan Am.

I travel extensively. National is my primary rental car agency. That being said, this app is very clunky. A major company like this should be able to do much better. Usually I will go to the computer or call them instead of trying to use the app. Quite often, the app will not even let you do basic things like making modifications to a reservation. It is only really good for me to look at to see if my assistant made a reservation or checking the reward level. They need to fire whomever they had doing it and start from scratch. It couldn't get any worse--
