The latest update is horrible. The app now runs slowly. The "Click to reveal PIN" feature is just a pain in the backside, especially as there's no option to turn it off. There's still no built in option to lock the app with biometrics (like Microsoft and many others have), and there's no ability to back up in case your phone dies/is lost (no transfer to another phone is NOT backup).

Also agree that this last update is awful. First the 'Click to reveal pin' is unnecessary (for me, living alone, never using it elsewhere). At the very least it should be a setting, so that people can turn this off. Also, while the numbers where immediately visible, now, for an unclear reason it takes several seconds for the app to even show something, so badly that I restarted the app twice before realizing it's painfully slow. I supspect they now store everything in the cloud...

This last update is awful. App is painfully slow and barely usable now. Takes ove 30 seconds to open constantly freezing while scrolling through the list. When a code time elapse it will freeze for 10 seconds before showing the new code. Now you only have 20 seconds to enter it. Finally i tested out the export function which cannot export to file for offline backup as it implies but merely device to device only. After completing that i now have a blue banner stuck at top and no way to clear it.
