I am a software engineer and an app developer, and I have to tell you that this app is the most miserable experience I've had on my phone on some time. First, when trying to create an account, entering the security questions is so sluggish it's almost physically impossible with a delay of 5 seconds or more. Then, in the final setup, every possible user name I tried was rejected, with no reason as to WHY. I give up. I guess the only way to check my balance is via phone call. Pathetic.
