The latest major update introduced critical technical regressions that caused the average rating to drop by 1.87 stars on Android. While the update included new regional phone numbers and pricing adjustments, these were overshadowed by blank screens in core checkout and login paths. The current impact is negative, though the small sample size warrants continued monitoring.
