How it played out
The average rating declined by 0.27 stars following the latest update, driven by technical instability in the reward redemption flow and increased friction from frequent account re-authentication requirements. Users report that the update introduced persistent account locking issues and intrusive advertising, which overshadow the intended improvements to the receipt capture experience. Momentum is weakening as the volume of negative feedback regarding account access and reward fulfillment has increased post-release.
Marlvel takeaways
