Summary
This mobile app receives overwhelmingly negative feedback, primarily due to severe crashing issues that often prevent users from opening it, particularly after updating to iOS 18. Many users also experience persistent problems with login and authentication, including invalid codes and endless loops, alongside a general consensus that the app's core functionality is unreliable or ineffective. Further complaints highlight a poor user experience stemming from confusing instructions, unclear purpose, and inadequate user interface elements. While a small number of users report improved stability in the latest version and successful operation on iOS 18.3, these positive experiences are overshadowed by widespread reports of critical failures.
