Then when you add a trip, you have to "okay it" EVERYTIME by clicking a box, then you have to deselect that trip and select another one. Then "okay" that one. After that, then I go to the "Show pairing report" but I must first deselect the previous trip and reselect the rest of them and then select "Show pairing report" pages. Then the whole "add bid" process starts again. Very painful and time consuming and a massive step back from the previous "desktop version" Why do we accept this POS??? And yes, I made phone calls and sent emails.

Rant over.

If I want to bid it, I select the check box. If it is on specific days, I select check box and the circled days I want. From that screen, I click add to bid and it's done.

Why can't we get a bidding product that is easy to use and doesn't require the user to take actions to mitigate the problems cooked into the software?

I'll also add that the desktop version worked fine offline, was a stand alone app that didn't require I clear my cache for my global web browser on a regular basis, and had more functionality in a much easier to use package.
