⚠️ Known Issues (Trustpilot: 1.9/5 – 14 reviews)

🔴 App Login Completely Broken
Multiple users report that after recent updates, “it is not possible to log in at all” even after reinstalling multiple times. One user called the app “absolutely useless” with “no support from staff.”
🔴 Frozen Transfer Limits
A customer who “maxed my monthly transfer limit” reported waiting over a week with no increase, leaving them “with no access to my funds due to incompetence.”

🟡 Payment Failures
