Ratings and reviews

The new feature that requires you to take a selfie every time you are making a once off payment is really annoying (it looks like this happens when you make payments from a certain minimum amount). Imagine if you have to make multiple once off payments? This feature is just unnecessary and complicates the payment process. If you can implement a "working" biometric authentication and then enforce the same auth - the experience would be much better.

Slowly becoming bloated, when I log into the app I want to do something - it's so annoying to log in and have some new feature pop up on my screen preventing me from doing what I want to do in place. The intrusive messages and warnings need to stop please. Edit: well an extra star to the devs for giving us the CSV format of the bank statement. It makes building your own budget tool much simpler. And thanks for responding when I posted here 🙂 It's gotten more annoying.

When I open the app, right when I'm about to type the 5 digits pin the app closes the keybord and I have to reopen the keybord to type. Sometimes this happens after inserting the first digit of the Pin. This is very irritating and it's been a long time. I was hoping that you are going to fix it long time ago since you have a lot of updates each and every week. Please guys
