Latest update broken

This app used to be OK if you allowed the app to tap without the phone being unlocked. The new update doesn’t work at all unless the app is in the foreground and the phone unlocked. It’s become useless. Please fix it!

Inconvenient

I agree with other reviewers. Switched from android to iPhone and now it wants to do Apple Pay every time I use it. With android I did not have to open the app but with iPhone the app has to be open. Just not convenient. This needs to be fixed and I can certainly revise my review then.

New Update Drains Battery

The update launched 6/29/26 is causing the app to use 24% of my battery. Please investigate and fix this issue.

No need for always on location

Should be no need for the app to always have location services on.
