Ratings and reviews

While they seem to have fixed the intermittent crashing, I still hate this app with a passion. It requires logging in everytime which requires you to remember your randomly generated numeric username (Just let me log in with an email address ffs). They implemented fingerprint login, which works like.. 3 times before asking you for login details again. They've somehow managed to make the UI worse and less intuitive to use. If I quit Vitality, it'll be because of this app.

Possibly the worst app I've ever had the displeasure of downloading, the app is slow, somehow always loses auth, even when using biometrics I always end up having to reset the pw. On the off chance that I'm able to actually log in, the app is slow and unresponsive. it would be one thing if the app layout was intuitive, but it isn't, which means I always have to go back to select some other option. It's almost like no effort was put into UI/UX, and was just copied from some template.

Discovery used to be known as a fintech leader but lately they are known as the creator of the Discovery Expedition app. It's impossible to find anything in here. You get stuck at some places and can't get back. There are always bugs to avoid. It keeps loading even if you are on a fast fibre connection... It's an expedition!
