Ratings and reviews

Severely Poor or rushed development. If you open the store on the app there's a good chance you will be stuck there. The app UI disappears when viewing store making it impossible to return to other pages of app with out forcing it to close and hopefully catching the small chance to select another option on UI before it restores the last session (the store) and disappears. Using back button on device exits the entire app and arrow in the corner is a decorative tease.

Many issues, why doesn't the app stay logged in? Why can you press back and go back to the login screen? Why doesn't Phone Mirroring work? (maybe an XR Elite issue??). Update: The phone mirroring seems to work much better since the recent updates and the app appears to stay logged in, bumped my rating. Would love to see the headset connect without opening the app each time though, should he easy using a foreground service on app launch.

When I hit Store, it opens some page for business solutions and will not close it, does not allow me to go to the main menu. App doesn't seem to realize I set up my headset already.
