The reviews largely complain about stability and input problems while noting a modern look and reliability history. Repeated issues include connectivity drops and Bluetooth peripheral problems, on-screen keyboard failures, slow/unreliable performance, and dissatisfaction with the new version versus legacy. A minority praise the app for its modern UI and features when it functions.

- Input and on-screen keyboard problems (keyboard not appearing, keys not working, password entry issues).
- Slow, laggy performance and unreliability reported by many users.
- Strong negative reception to the new version vs legacy (many users want the old 2X experience back).
