Ratings and reviews

It did work OK but a bit clunky, not intuitive to set up and there were many "hoops to jump through" - I think I needed to enter my PIN around 10 times. The app DOES appear on the apps list on the phone, however it's called "Approve" instead of "HID" so it took me a while to find it. I'm not sure of the point of it when Google authenticator could be used if the organisation allowed it - just another pointless app on my phone taking up space.

Easy enough to use, once set up.

Simply doesn't work. In GooglePlay store it is marked as "compatible with all of your devices" and when I tried to run it on my Xiaomi or Nexus or AndroidVirtualDevice, it displays "Your device is running in a configuration that is not supported for security reasons". Well, then maybe tell me what exactly is the problem with that configuration, so I can change it! My CreditAgricole-Nextbank (also with terrible IT support) forces me to use it to access my account, so it is a serious problem.
