Authentication needs update

The app is no longer compatible with Google’s Authentication API.

Outdated

The screen isn’t updated for newer displays like the iPhone X and the in-app barcode scanner does not work.

Disappointed so far

Poorly configured error handling- when presented with a simple typo on login; app threw an error and gave no exit or escape options.

Had to delete app and reinstall just to try an log in again.

This is stuff that QA finds in alpha testing folks, not rocket science here.
