Released August 10, 2026Major

The latest major update introduced OAuth-based login and bank account linking, yet failed to address critical authentication barriers. Users report persistent login failures where verification codes fail to register, resulting in a stagnant rating signal. The net impact is negative due to unresolved technical friction preventing account access.

42/ 100 impact scoreNegative
What worked
  • New feature

    No evidence of positive impact as the update remains in a low-volume feedback state.

What didn't
  • New feature

    backfired

    The security-focused authentication update failed to resolve persistent login failures where verification codes do not register in the input field.

Marlvel takeaways

  • Prioritize a hotfix for the authentication input field, as users report verification codes continue to fail post-update.
  • Monitor the Android platform specifically, as all post-update review volume is currently isolated to this segment.
