Ratings and reviews

A little stiff but a definitely big improvement since last time when I tried just to download the app and didn't let me because "this app it's not available in your country" I bought the phone overseas, but I was in Canada at the time of download and using a Canadian cellphone provider. Anyway, taking the picture of yourself is a little tricky, app developer definitely should add a 2 seconds timer!!! It took me a few good times till I was able to get a clear picture... Push button / stay still..

Works well when it works. However, always seems to have major issues just when you need it. Usually taking a day or two futsing around to fix it. Sometimes uninstalling and re-authorizing again which can take another few days. I think they should just abandon it instead of forcing such beta software for something so important. Update: reduced to 1 star. The day after posting this review, they de-authourized my account on this app. That's pretty petty.

Someone needs to take a serious look at what is broken within this app. As was noted in a prior review, I too have had to reinstall and go through the entire verification process multiple times but it is still not working. The help desk isn't very helpful as they just tell you to reinstall. The attitude of the help desk agent is not the friendliest either. Fix this app!!
