## Review summary

The app aims to provide 2FA codes but suffers major reliability and data integrity issues. Frequent updates reportedly erase stored codes and access to accounts, causing users to lose control of services. Users also report intrusive advertising and expensive ad-free upgrades, plus poor support and recovery options. Together, these factors undermine the core function of the authenticator, leaving many without access to critical accounts.

### Pros

- Simple to use and easy setup.
- Functioned as a basic authenticator for some users before issues occurred.
- Served its intended purpose by generating 2FA codes when functioning.

### Cons

- Data loss and deletion of codes and saved accounts after updates.
- Loss of access to accounts due to data loss (e.g., Facebook, GitHub).
- Intrusive ads and paid ad-free upgrade with a high cost.
- Poor or no support and lack of recovery/rollback options.
- Reliability issues after updates: app not loading, stops working, or can't log in.
