Where is it heading?
The app is currently in a maintenance-mode posture that fails to address critical user-reported regressions, so the platform is at risk of losing its user base to manual pharmacy communication methods. Without a rapid fix for the registration and functionality bugs, the app will continue to see declining ratings and user attrition into the next quarter.
