The app is good no lie! But you have to understand that not all people their touch screens work well. Their are areas on the screen which aren't accessible. So one has to rotate the screen in order to use the app in the landscape layout. This is just impossible with this app. So I just request for you guys to make this app also accessible in the landscape mode for people like us too! Thanks

Great app so far. Works well, does what its supposed to and the biometrics are very convenient. Enjoying the use so far. Edit: After a few months of good use the app now crashes upon launch everytime. Troubleshooting revealed that it only successfully launches when wifi and data is switched off prior to launching the app. Needless to say it ruins the experience for me. Please look into a solution.

My experience has been nothing short of frustrating. The app is plagued by constant hanging issues, which makes it difficult to complete transactions. One of the most significant issues I have faced is the app's inability to function properly. It often freezes or crashes, requiring me to restart the app multiple times to complete a simple transaction. This is not only inconvenient but also embarrassing, especially when trying to make a payment in front of others. Your devs need to do better
