## Review summary

Reviewers mention persistent login problems and error messages, with the app often failing to open or crashing. Many report poor reliability, including stuck loading screens and cross-device sign-in issues. The authentication flow is described as overly complex and not user-friendly, sometimes requiring repeated re-verification. Despite these issues, some users note that the app is secure and becomes easy to use once access is established, and a few call it the best government services app in Canada when functioning.

- The sign-in/setup flow is unclear or overly complex and not easily accessible across devices.
