Ratings and reviews

Just started using this app. Easy to use, easy to interpret the numbers with graphs, seems easy to transfer funds and setup external accounts. One thing I don't like... Should be able to run/download reports for balances/fund performance! BTW, I don't know why so many are complaining about speed. There are a couple of functions that take a couple of seconds, but it's not tragic like some are saying. I work in IT; this app could be much worse. Im wondering if certain phones or net speeds are why?

I updated to the newest version and now it won't start. It just opens a window saying Principal keeps stopping and do I want to close the app, see app info, and one other choice. I tried deleting the app and reinstalling, but it didn't help. Now that the developers responded to my problem so quickly, I changed the rating to 5 stars since that's what I think the app deserves. I've used it for a long time and I've always been happy with it.

UPDATE: Very responsive team! Fixed issue from my rating and feedback. App is working again & it gives me the info I need to see! Thanks for the responsiveness! On S10+, used to work nicely, but now doesn't even work! After logging in, takes you to page with gray bars that just flash until you're greeted with an error message that says, "Here's some info you'll want to look at" on an otherwise blank page.
