backfired
The refreshed interface and stability updates coincide with a 0.89 star decline in average rating.
New feature
backfired
New transaction tracking and verification requirements triggered complaints regarding restricted payment methods and residency-based blocks.

Marlvel takeaways

Re-evaluate residency-based transaction blocks as users report these requirements prevent account access and fund transfers.
Address payment method friction by restoring support for debit options like iDEAL to mitigate negative sentiment.
Monitor stability metrics closely, as the current post-update sample size is insufficient to confirm if the reported UI regressions are widespread.
