"Bad Gateway" problems

I have been an H&R Black customer for almost 20 years, and I never had a problem submitting my taxes. This year, the software gave me a "Bad gateway" error, and the software still thinks I have not file my return. Luckily, my returned was indeed file and accepted by the IRS, but I had to call to verify.
Full-featured tax software that's reasonably priced; imports previous tax info (even from competing brands) very well. Could be a little bit more transparent and I wish there was more space for entering your charitable donations. But otherwise, great!
Very poor reliability & failure to show submittanc

No messages on website to indicate gateway problem and time to resolution. No indication that submittance will be submitted after failed connection to gateway. Because of failed connection I submitted my taxes with taxes due. So with the electronic submittance, I am paying my taxes twice. You should present the option to submit after a failed connection.
Cons: Time consuming, Doesn't maximize refund, Hard to import documents
I bought this because the price was much better than the TT I've used for years. It was not quite as easy to use with the guidance between topics. I think its the wording of the questions. It made it harder to understand some topics. I have done our taxes for years so I was able to figure it all out, but this is not user friendly for a first time user in my opinion. The recommendation would depend on the skill level of the person doing their taxes, or if their taxes are a simple process.
I loved the new features, like being able to parse PDFs. It saved me quite a bit of time. This year it looked streamlined and easier to use. Great job, programmers!
Pros: Easy to prepare, Maximizes refund, Easy to import documents, Fast
