Great service, but the app sucks

Could y’all please stop dimming my screen to zero? It’s impossible to use.

Dims screen

9/1/36 This iPhone app is still dimming the screen whenever you display the QR core or the bar code.
I often take a screenshot and use that!!

Auto log-out?

Why does the app keep auto-logging me out and not recognizing my saved password? I drop bags once, maybe twice, a month. I have to reset my password every other time I use it. Very frustrating!

Won’t even allow logins now

Got everything set up, go to login into the app to have the digital card and it won’t let me login no matter what I do. Customer service is useless.

Stop dimming my screen!

If I want my screen brightness up, the app should never force it down even after adjusting. What a stupid decision.
