## Review summary

Users appreciate the app's integration with security policies and biometric options. However, major issues include frequent crashes, unreliable notifications, slow and repetitive authentication attempts, inability to disable persistent sounds, and problematic fingerprint authentication. These problems cause frustration and reduce usability, despite some responsive updates from the developers.
