Why

Why has the mobile version—which was working well, even if not perfectly—been reverted to the mini-web version? Please restore the mobile interface.

Hard to keep an eye on my balance

I just want to keep an eye on Lu balance and contributions couple of times a week but the app makes it excessively hard to do that. I’m being logged out and unenrolled from Face ID multiple times per week, have to go through MFA to relog every time. To check if my recent paycheck contribution posted I have to navigate through 4 different screens. I should be able to see all that at a glance. I’m not trying to withdraw money or change my investments, just check my balance, this is excessive.
