## Review summary

Users appreciated the app's ease of use for payments and outage reporting before recent updates. However, multiple reviews report persistent server connection errors, preventing login and balance access. Many face issues with false app incompatibility messages even after updating, and trouble opening PDF bills due to missing viewers. The shift from real-time to periodic pricing frustrated pay-as-you-go users. Additionally, some experience crashes or freezing during payments. Overall, while the app was once reliable and simple, recent updates have introduced critical functionality problems impacting user experience.
