Ratings and reviews

Works, but when showing results it doesn't do anything I can't just do in a browser. It's just loading a half-broken web page that mostly gets stuck when I scroll, and is very slow to respond if it actually responds.

Works to check your registered location, but trying to change or correct location on the app or website crashes the process. OTP is bugged and does not work, freezes or gives false errors. ID verification online also does not work. If anything goes wrong the entire login process freezes or crashes. Even in person registration is tedious. Truly a horrendous experience all-round.

You need to know urgently that all your hard work has been sabotaged by one small issue. when I open the app, it says "Swipe >>", which I assume means swipe to the right. I nearly uninstalled the app immediately with a "not working" comment. Then my friend told me to swipe left. It worked.
