The iPadOS Authy App’s User Interface Needs Work.
I would instantly rate Authy much higher but the lack of any UI options even the most basic makes the app experience terrible. I don’t have to use the app often on my iPads but it always makes me think why this version of Authy is so terribly neglected.
-Specifics-
(In order of importance)
1. List View
List View is (1 column by (X)rows) X is the # of however many 2fA accounts you’ve added. I prefer the custom order but you could get fancy and put a default sort option so it’ll load up as either Alphabetical, Chronological, Customizable. Honestly just adding this and ignoring the rest would be fine.
2. Icon/Grid View rework
Icon view has a grid (6x3) using 25% of the screen the rest is empty aside from the token/icon/name which is the same size as the icons in the grid. The Bare minimum quick fix is make the grid section larger (6 columns by 6 to 8 rows).
3. Dark mode Support
This app has no response to any system theme settings. It also doesn’t respond to global font size changes. The app only accessibility changes seem to zero impact.
If this happens I’ll give it a solid 4/5 stars.

The update that overhauled the UI was trash. I’m glad they rolled it back
I opened Authy to the terribly done UI overhaul today and was about to email them about it then I saw that there was an update today so I downloaded it. Thank goodness they rolled it back. The icons were unnecessarily oversized making it so you couldn’t read the names for when you have multiple for the same website. That is a huge downgrade but the worst was it didn’t appear that you could rearrange the order of them any longer.
I implore the devs to please not change the ui back to that in the future. Or at least make it possible to change the size of the icons so that they don’t waste so much screen space and the text will fit on the screen. Please don't ever consider removing the ability to rearrange the icons into whatever order you want them to be in either.

MacOS app broken
I used to have this on MacOS downloaded from the App Store. Then I had issues where it said my backup password was incorrect whenever I entered it. After making a new backup password on mobile, everything on Mac was locked away, and it wouldn’t accept my password. Tried to delete the app and reinstall but now it won’t let me download again from the App Store, it is saying incompatible with macOS. Please update to verify downloadable for macOS.
