## Review summary

User reviews consistently mention that while the app can securely access office resources, it suffers from widespread reliability problems on Android: frequent login/VPN failures, unstable crashes and white-screen issues, and OTP delivery problems. Many users report Android-specific compatibility updates are overdue, with errors like switch unblock trusted server off persisting after updates. A few reviews note the app is usable in government contexts and is positively received by some, but the majority cite not working or load-related problems. Improvements needed: authentication reliability, VPN stability, Android version support, and robust OTP delivery.

### Pros

- Secure access to office email.
- Generally good and usable for some users (e.g., government use).
- Positive overall impression when it works (nice app).

### Cons

- Frequent VPN/login failures and inability to connect.
- Instability: crashes or white screen, requiring restarts.
- Android compatibility issues; overdue updates and problems after updates.
- OTP delivery problems (OTP not received after multiple attempts).
- Server/settings errors that block access (switch unblock trusted server off / switch block untrusted server off).
