Cannot log in

There is some sort of Auth0 error and I can’t log into the app at all. I’ve contacted you several times but no one will even reply to emails. Incredibly frustrating.

Excessive Notifications

App was working great. However, late last week it started spamming me with excessive notifications and no easily discernible way to reduce the frequency of the messages.
