### 2/5 — OTP at signup not working

*2025-01-12, version 1.23*

I have tried many times to login but not receiving OTP on mail or on SMS.

### 1/5 — Glitchy app

*2024-11-12, version 1.23*

It has so many glitches, show no Internet or keep showing loader. Almost not usable.

### 1/5 — Poor performance if the app

*2023-12-13, version 1.23*

The application is working like disaster. It automatically gets log out after every 5 mins and it shows no internet connection.

### 1/5 — Automatic logout always

*2023-09-10, version 1.23*

ये इतनी अच्छी एप्लीकेशन है लेकिन पता नहीं क्यों यह मैं जब भी लोग इन करता हूँ तो कभी भी ओटीपी समय पर नहीं आता है और लोग इन हो भी जाऊँ तो ये ऑटोमैटिकली लॉगआउट हो जाता हूँ। 
यह एप्लीकेशन शास्त्रीय संगीतज्ञों के लिए सच में अच्छी है, लेकिन थोड़े से बदलाव कर दें तो बहुत अच्छी बन सकती है 
कृपया इसको फिक्स करिये।
