Complaint

Common complaints

  • Poor Navigation and Redesign
    • This app is difficult to navigate
    • New layout is horrible. Can't even scroll smoothly.
  • Technical Bugs and Stability
    • Cannot open. Updated in March 2026 & cannot open.
    • The app hasn’t opened up in over 4 days. It’s just a blue screen
  • Aggressive Video/Ad Content
    • Open the app and a video opens automatically. Close the app but the video keeps playing on your desktop.
    • your automatic playing of videos is absurd.
